When i try to open a tab a Yahoo search page comes-up, i just want a blank page.

When I do a Ctrl-t to get a new tab it brings up a Yahoo search page. I want a Blank page, like I used to get with a new tab. I must have downloaded the Yahoo stuff, but need to know how to reset my tabs in Firefox to get a Blank page again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I downloaded, accedently, a Yahoo toolbar I have deleted the toolbar, but the tab problem still exists.

''This is a hidden add on!'' Here’s the easy, ''get rid of it for good solution'': It’s done within Firefox. Enter [about:config] in the url address box. Click “I’ll be careful. I promise”. In the <filter> field, type “extensions.netassistant” (no quotes). Right click on the field: “extensions.netassistant.tabsearch.url”, click on [modify] , either delete its string or enter your own. I’ve entered “https://encrypted.google.com” (this is a beta encrypted search by Google) just as a personal satisfaction against Yahoo. Do the same for:”extensions.netassistant.url” field.
'''NOTE''': If you haven’t modified your Firefox configuration before and you don’t feel comfortable in what you are about to do, '''BACKUP!''' The backup procedure can be found at: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/backing%20up%20your%20information . Or just do a Google search for “backup Firefox pref.js”.

when I try and open a tab that is the same as the page I'm currently on it closes it self. Not when I type the full address, but when I use the arrow keys to select the url and press enter. I just don't like typing in the same address 5 times, when the older Firefox worked.

When I try to open the shared library on the 2nd computer (the one I want to xfer music to), the only songs that come up are those that are already in that same library (the library on the 2nd computer). While I can see computer

When I try to open the shared library on the 2nd computer (the one I want to xfer music to), the only songs that come up are those that are already in that same library (the library on the 2nd computer). While I can see computer #1 listed under 'shared,' when I click on it the only songs I can see are those that I already have on the 2nd computer. Hopefully that makes sense. Basically, the library from computer #1 isn't loading up.

When I try to open a file I created in Pages, I get this: "The required index.xml file is missing." This has happened many times and I have forgotten how I've worked around it.

That is wrong advice and you appear to have repeated it all over the forum.
All Pages files no matter what version have the same file extension, .pages, despite being radically different formats and that is the problem. The System does not distinguish between them when you double click on the file, it opens the first version of Pages it encounters.
You need to right click on the file and choose the correct App version for the file. Unfortunately there are no clues to tell you which is which.
If you are unhappy with this and the removal of over 100 features plus the problems with transmitting files across devices, servers and different versions of OS X, rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

Firefox initally opens fine , but when I try to open another tab Firefox hangs or I get an unresponsive script message

firefox initally opens fine right to my homepage. Then a few minutes later it starts hanging and I cannot scroll or do anything until it connects. Similarly when I try to open a new tab, the new tab either hangs forever, or I get an unresponsive script error message. I have tried resetting firefox and starting firefox in safe mode. nothing seems to help.

Update your copy of itunes to the current version.

When i try to open the iTunes app on my iPhone 4S it will just close me out of it... How do i fix this?

When i try to open itunes it just closes. I need help soon!

Do other apps connect to the internet ok e.g. Safari - and does the App Store app work ? And after logging out of your account on your phone you were able to log back in ok ?
There is a bit of troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368 - it also suggests checking that the date and time are correct on your device. You could also try disconnecting and reconnecting to your network

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

Sounds like Malware.

When I try to open firefox a large number of pages open I think it might be a virus

Ok I hope you wont mind honesty. I was trying to open a porn video and a flash notice popped on the screen and simultainiously pages and pages started opening. So I did an emergency shut down of the computer. Today when I tried to open firefox it was still there.

It sounds like you have Firefox set to open your windows and tabs when you re-open Firefox.
Let's try to fix this thoroughly so you don't have future problems:
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]], run these scanners
* Start Firefox up in Safe Mode, do you still have all these extra windows? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]], try to close the windows and tabs.
* If Safe Mode fails, reset Firefox. [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]]
* Install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock to prevent future ads and pop-ups.
* Make sure you have a good anti-virus installed. If you don't, I'd suggest http://windows.microsoft.com/windows/security-essentials-download

When i try to open a url from a search, it always goes to a random search engine, not the web page

If I do a search for something, I get the Google search fine, when I click on a link it never goes to the site, it always goes to a random search engine and sometimes freezes my computer. I created a new, alternate profile, but it does it on that one too.

If it's happening on more than one profile, it sounds like a malware redirectiing you. Try doing an antivirus scan first.

When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

When I try to open up a linked pdf, Firefox keeps asking me where I want to save it!!

Firefox never used to do this. It does it with our Intranet site and on other external sites. I don't want to save the pdf. This is very infuriating and if it is not resolved I will change to another default browser.
Also a recent Firefox update to v 23 causes our Intranet https site to be blocked. We have to select allow. Everytime we go to another page the same thing happens. It is hopeless and totally unworkable. How do I get back to v 22?

In order to change the default reader for PDF files (allow Firefox to open the PDF instead of saving locally), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Please report back soon.
