When I use firefox it goes to Ask and I want it to go to Google. How can I fix this?

I want Firefox to take me to Google and not to Ask when I do a search.

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

  • Firefox gives me an error and will not connect to the internet. How can I fix this?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled but Firefox will still not connect. It gives me the inital start error message of "not being able to connect" etc. I am able to use IE and there is no connectivity issues at all. How do I fix this? I really prefer Firfox!

    AHA!!! I had the same problem with no answer so I started doing some research. Apparently people with McAfee and Norton were having similar problems so I started there. I opened my McAfee and went into the Web and Email Protection. Click on Firewalls; click on Program Permissions. Scroll down to find Firefox. If you're having the same problem I did, it will say blocked. Change to allow. That should solve it!! I wonder if MS paid McAfee!!?? Hope it helps!

  • My "extentions.ini" disappears when I close Firefox forcing me to re-authorize the installation of all my extensions. How can I fix this?

    I was also missing the "extensions.sqlite" file but changing the folder properties from read only allowed that file to save.
    AV installed is Bit Defender but I do not see a section there that would be protecting that folder from overwrites.

    That is the extension registry file file used in Firefox 3.6.x versions and is no longer used in Firefox 4+ versions (replaced by extensions.sqlite) and can be removed. There may be other leftover files if you've used this profile folder with older Firefox versions.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

    Ive got youtube videos converted to mp3 files on my itunes, they used to play fine but since the recent update they do not play correctly. how can i fix this?

    Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
    If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

    I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

    You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
    * https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
    You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
    If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • My 8600 Hp printer used to select either tray 1 or 2. Now it doesn't. How can I fix this?

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer used to print between trays 1 & 2 (1 being letter and 2 being legal). Now, suddenly I find I am only given the option of printing from tray 1 and must remove it and insert tray 2 before I can print legal-size paper. How do I fix this, or is it a new problem with HP?

    Hi @bizygirl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that tray 2 of your Officejet 8600 printer is not being recognized.
    I have included the The Printer Does Not Pick Up Paper From Tray 2, or Tray 2 Is Not Recognized document. It will walk you through the required trouble shooting steps for the tray not being recognized.

  • Unable to download or open files when using firefox in private. Only able to do so in public mode. How do I fix this?

    When browsing in private mode, I am unable to download any kind of files. Either from CNET or just a plain flash, the download function doesn't happen. Even if I right click and save as, nothing happens. I have to go back into normal mode to get the job done. It wasn't like this before, so how do I fix it?

    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).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
