See the post by Linc Davis here:
Unfortunately you picked the instructions for removing Genieo 1.0 and the 2.0 came out around the same time, so Linc has updated his instructions in more recent posts. TheSafeMac reference I pointed to will take care of both.

only way is to restore the phone as new. OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

Hi SuperRup91:
As the fantastic jscher2000 wrote:
"you may have OpenDNS set as your DNS service in your router, or your ISP may be using it."
And you may not have been aware that OpenDNS was set in your WiFi router.
Whoever controls the network that your WiFi hooks into can change google searches or anything you browse or in this case change "404 page not found errors" to go to OpenDNS. And there are two place where your network is controlled: i) your wifi router and ii) your ISP.
Two examples:
1. Here in Vancouver, Canada where I live, if you connect to a Shaw WiFi hotspot, then Shaw changes your searches by adding Shaw specific stuff. Not a great situation :-) but Shaw does that. (one could argue that this means Shaw is "breaking the internet")
2. By default Verizon configures the WiFi routers they supply with something called "DNS assistance" which changes DNS and again one could argue that this too "breaks the internet"

* https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/troubleshooting/network/questionsone/99147.htm
Therefore, I recommend you check your WiFi router and see if it has OpenDNS configured. You may have to consult your ISP's technical support to remove OpenDNS; this is most certainly not a Firefox problem; we can't help with WiFi router configuration unfortunately.
Hope that helps!
Happy Holidays!

Firefox no longer gives automatic prompts when I type in first few letters of a search - even though my browsing history is being recorded, and "Remember search and form history" is ticked in the Privacy preferences: what's gone wrong?

Firefox has recently stopped giving (personalised) automatic prompts when I type in the first few letters of a search. What does come up is a long list of possible search subjects - but these are very general and don't reflect my own personal browsing history. My browsing history IS being recorded, however, and the "Remember search and form history" box is ticked in the Privacy preferences.
I'm not using the "Private Browsing" option.
There are two MacBooks in the house, sharing one wireless router. This problem has cropped up on both laptops - mine and my wife's - at around the same time.

How do I stop FireFox from starting to type in the web search bar when I open the browser, it does this even when I have not typed anything in the web search bar

When I open firefox it starts typing in the web search bar without me doing anything, how do I stop this. It looks like it is making suggestions even if I am not looking for anything.

Try to set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true on the about:config page.

I get a message asking me if I want to change my default search engine to Yahoo! Search each time I open Firefox. How do I disable this annoying message?

For the past few days, each time I open Firefox on my home computer, a popup message is briefly displayed: "Your browser's default search engine is not set to Yahoo! Search. Would you like to set it now? (Yes/No)". After perhaps 15 seconds at most, the popup disappears and my home page appears as normal. I have the Yahoo! Toolbar installed, and Yahoo! Search is the search engine there; however, the search box on the address bar (which allows me to select from several search engines) is normally set to Google. The search engine in the address bar hasn't actually been changed to Yahoo! Search without my consent yet -- I'm just annoyed at getting nagged to change search engines every time I open Firefox. How do I get the "nag" messages to shut up & leave me alone?
I would also note that this is only happening on my home computer (which runs Windows 7), not on my work computer (which runs Windows XP, and which I also normally use Firefox as my browser on, with the same Yahoo! Toolbar + Google search in the address bar setup).
I have run Threat Scans with Malwarebytes (paid version) and a Quick Scan with Avast! (free version), and neither has eliminated this "nag" message from Yahoo! Search.

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

you need to put in the port number you've installed SPW onto
by default this is 9675, so you'll need to type
http://server:9675
and of course have allowed port 9675 incoming on the servers firewall

I installed Firefox 4-my home page is mostly blank and it keeps asking me to retore to previous session. When I do this it only brings up the last visited site. When I type in a seach it will not search.

The Web Page will not respond to commands including searches that I type in. The Google Search will work.

The default Firefox 4 homepage - '''about:home''' - has a hyperlink that allows you to '''''Restore Previous Session''''', which is part of the new feature where Firefox 4 automatically saves your previous session, without asking you as with previous versions of Firefox. You don't have to use that hyperlink unless you want restore your previous session.
As far as the "search container" search engine in about:home not working, some users have reported that to be caused by an extension or two that are related to a security suite that is installed. Another cause could be related to "local storage" be turned off when Firefox is updated; there's a couple of Bug reports filed about that cause, but I don't understand the discussion about it - but those Bugs haven't been fixed yet, as it only affects a small number of users ''(sounds like a real low priority from what I gather when reading those reports)''.
The easiest "fix" to both issues is you set your own choice of a homepage. This one is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions used.

When I type in an entire address, I get search results page. how can I set the browser to find the actual address.

Is there a way to set the browser to go directly to the address I typed in, instead of providing search results and options for spelling and extensions?

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Since I installed the latest version of Firefox, my Google search system has forgotten about my past entries and is not adding on each search topic etc as I search. Is this a GOOGLE or a Firefox issue?

Example. I searched for NYT.COM. In past the system remembers and when I start typing ny it immediately fills in nyt.com and other options related to nyt.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

When using google I am transferred to other web search sites and not the sites I am clicking on.

While using Google I am being connected to other search sites and not the sites I am clicking to go to.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

It has nothing to do with Firefox -- it sounds like the sites you're trying to go to are already taken down. If that's the case, try clicking the Google's results' "Cached" button, or just try the other results Google gave you.
