When i use any shortcut to access a website, firefox opens google website. how to correct?

suddenly, about 3 days ago, any time i click on a desktop shortcut to a website, firefox opens a google homepage. the only way i can use firefox to access web sites is to type a url into the address bar on the google page. all of my desktop shortcuts now open to google home page.
major problem is that desktop shortcuts don't show url until firefox opens to the webpage.
so unless i know the url and can type it into google homepage address bar, i can't access
any of the shortcuts on my desk top.

Glad to hear it. Every once in a while scan again. Say once a month or so.
As you saw from the reports, one scanner picked up where another did
not. So use two or three scanners. Happy Computing.

  • Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?

    Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
    "Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
    Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
    With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
    I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

  • Firefox does not open with the tabs I had open when I use the quit and save function. Firefox opens with my home page only. how to fix?

    When I use the "Save and Quit" function it has no effect. The next time I open Firefox it goes to my home page only.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 3 days ago

    This is not a solution, nor a work-around. The only thing this points out is where the problem lies. Settings are meant to be used in all sessions, barring exceptions and the fact that Firefox asks if you'd rather SAVE and then quit, makes it an exception. The user has elected to skip the clear browsing history step.
    However, if the settings are permanently changed as you suggest, then the history will always be remembered for eternity when Firefox is closed. You then have to manually clear your history first at every session before closing.
    Older versions of Firefox never behaved in such manner and recognized that the Save and Quit superseded the setting to Clear History.

  • Why I can't used any shortcut  in word?

    First day I used word to do my file, it can used the shortcut, such as "command+C for copy and command+V for paste".
    Now I can't used any shortcut in word, even though I opened another word file also can't used any shortcut.
    But I still can used the shortcut for web side such as "command+C" but if i need to paste in work can't used "command+V"
    Also that file send to another computer the shortcut can work again. Why......

    Hello Vicki,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

    When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to? 

    It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

    My isight built in camera is only turning on for few second on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011 with osx Yosemite) when I use any camera needed app. Please help me. Its getting a little annoying.

    If restarting Mac or reinstalling OS X does not correct this symptom, you likely have a hardware problem.  Contact Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • When i type any word in address bar, it is search by "speedbit", How i can to change it into google searching ?

    when i type any word in address bar, it is search by "speedbit", How i can to change it into google searching ?

    When you ''reset'' keyword.url, you blank the entry. Firefox doesn't know what to do with the keyword you've typed in, so it adds www. to the front, and tacks .com to the end and takes you www.test.com.
    You need a new search engine entry. '''Try making keyword.url = http://www.google.com/#q='''
    Every once in a while a rogue search engine wrecks my browser, and I end up scrambling for this very answer. I hope the devs will create an easier fix for future versions.

  • When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

    When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

    Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

  • AE CS6 bug: Can't use any shortcut that includes the C in it

    A while ago I started having some issues In Illustrator CS6, where I couldn't copy and paste from one document/application to another, the issue later ported itself to AE and not much after that anything including the C key stopped working. For example I can't copy, pre compose or create a camera using shortcuts.
    After a lot of troubleshooting I was able to isolate a preference pane who was causing the Illustrator issue, I removed it and AI went back to normal, I assumed After Effects would be fixed too but unfortunately that's not the case, I still can't use the C key.
    I ran Onyx thoroughly, trashed AE's prefs, removed some recently acquired scripts, removed some login items and trashed those prefs also (I read a thread that mentioned those items could be causing odd behaviors).
    I carefully compared my setup against my laptop, which also has AE CS6 installed and working perfectly, I have the same scripts, the same preferences and the only login items not installed there are the ones that's are grayed out in my imac, so I can't delete them.
    If someone can help with this I'll be very grateful, I'm wasting a lot of time trying to solve this thing and I'm very used to using said shortcuts to increase my workflow.
    Thanks.

    I quit a few other components, a small utility called Shortcut (isn't that ironic?) and another one called MacAppBlocker,
    I still can't pre compose any layers using command-shift-c
    I was able to create a camera using command-shift-alt-c, after several tries, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
    I was being able to copy and paste across different programs and layers all sorts of objects, UNTIL  I opened Illustrator and copied a path, then I pasted it into a solid in AE.
    The next time I tried to copy something else, my clipboard got stuck with the path from Illustrator, EVEN inside illustrator.
    Greg, as you can see from this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4462265
    This is an aknowledged bug from Illustrator, but as I have discovered in the past few days it's affecting everything systemwise, what are the possibilities that the only shortcuts that are failing are those that contain the combination of command-c? And like I said, it starts missbehaving right after I copy a path in Illustrator, not before.
    Alright, after some further testing, here's what I found:
    I removed (completely deleted) from my computer a small piece of software called WD Quickview, right after I was able to precomp and create cameras in AE.
    I still have the copy/paste issue from Illustrator, right after I copy a path, the clipboard goes haywire system wide.
    The strange thing is that, such program, WD Quickview has been installed on my computer for over a year now and never had any trouble with it, moreover, I'm not entirely sure how am I going to be able to get into the drive that uses that program (WD force-install that thing with their new drives that come with a new unerasable firmware).
    Coincidentally, I haven't plug the drive at all this week, so perhaps the program went crazy when it couldn't find the drive?

  • Why does the message '500 internal server error' appear when I use any search engine?

    I am able to type a web address and use the internet successfully but when using ANY search engine I get the '500 internal server error' message. This appears if I type in a word to search '''bold text'''and the result is the error message. I have recently uninstalled rapport and hitman pro. Please help.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
