When I try to open my homepage google GLOBEXDESIGNS, Inc opens instead, what is going on? Also my internet speed is slowing on both my computers

Why is Globexdesign opening instead of google? Updated to firefox 4 started out good speed wise but slower with more crashes than ever before

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Delete it from your device by holding your finger on it until it starts to shake, then hit the little cross to remove it.
After that download it again from the AppStore, you can do that for free:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Firefox 5 crashes constantly when multiple pages are open. What's going on?

I was made by your team to update from Firefox 4.x to Firefox 5. Ever since Firefox stops responding and often crashes.
Your new feature to pin pages in the taskbar is great and I currently have 10 pages pinned that I always want up. One of them is Google+.
While in Google+ I see Firefox hang constantly. I'm not sure if it's your problem or Google's. I hadn't come to you because I assumed it was Google's problem. But I was just on Quora and it happened there as well.
Please contact me so we can figure this out. I love Firefox and I rely on it on a daily basis to get things done at work and in life in general.
Thanks

First, you can terminate a running Firefox process using the Task Manager.
Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch it
Usually by this time, Firefox is no longer listed on the Applications tab, but if it is, try terminating it there.
Click the Processes tab and look for both of these:
plugin-container.exe (used to run Flash and many other plugins)<br>
firefox.exe
Click each and then click End Process.
After that, you can close the Task Manager and you should be able to start Firefox.
As for why that happens, you could check this article: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]] -- skip to the section awkwardly entitled "Firefox hangs when you quit it"

When I try to open "date/time preferences" or "system preferences" they are unresponsive.

My date/time is incorrect and when I try to open it, it is unresponsive. Also, when I try to open "system preferences" from the apple drop down menu, it is also unresponsive. How can I fix that?

You might want to try deleting your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in your hidden User/Library folder
Use the Finder Go> Go to menu and paste this to expose the hidden folder
~/Library/Preferences
find the file, there will be two of them and Trash the one you can move, reboot and reset your preferences.
You can also use #12 and #13 OnyX routine to find any corrupt .plist files (holds your preferences) and use the same search and delete, reboot and rest preferences steps.

After installing the newest update, when I try to open a saved page Firefox only opens the homepage. Reset didn't help.

I am a web designer. I have saved pages that I update and upload to websites all the time. Now, after the latest updates, when I try to open these saved pages it only opens Firefox and loads the homepage. The saved page does not open. If I'm to keep using Firefox, which I would prefer, I need this functionality back.

<blockquote>
What do you have set up as the default application for .html files? Or are you opening another kind of file that isn't normally/automatically associated with Firefox?
If you drag and drop the file onto a tab (which normally would replace the page there with the local file), what happens?
</blockquote>
I had tried all the suggestions. None of they helped. I can open the files by browsing for they after Firefox is open. I was able to spend some more time troubleshooting the issue yesterday afternoon. The issue has to do with the 64-bit file system. When I right click and select open with and then point it to the installation folder in the Program Files (x86) folder, it still won't open the file just opens to my home page. I did notice that when I was browsing for Firefox.exe that it defaulted to the Program Files folder not the Program Files (x86) folder. So I renamed the exe to LittleFox.exe and browsed for that exe and Firefox would then open the files as expected. So my guess is that it is a registry setting that is all the headache. I don't have time to run that problem down but will just use my workaround by renaming a copy of the exe and use that with my file association.
Thanks

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

When I try to open Firefox, Google say the ULR does not exist on the website?

I use Firefox and have the latest version. Currently when I try and open Firefox, Google posts and error message saying the 404 the ULR does not exist on the web. What do I need to do? In layman's terms please.

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If you use a bookmark then try to navigate to that page starting with the home page of the website (main domain) in case the bookmark is no longer valid.

When I try to open Google using Firefox I get a "Welcome to nginx" message

I use Firefox for most of my browsing but this morning when I try to open Google I see only a message saying "Welcome to nginx!". I tried updating Firefox to the latest version and also used my Malware bytes to scan everything but no virus was found. This does not affect other browsers and Firefox seems to work OK except I cannot open Google.
Thanks for any advice.

When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get an error message

When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:
"Not Found
The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."
...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.
I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.
But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Emmy

At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.
BTW, here's the URL for the page:
http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
'''But, '''the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.
I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?
