When logging in to Firefox it brings up a Pogo web search page.

When I bring up Yahoo it brings up the Yahoo web page with an icon for my mail. When I log into Firefox it brings up a Pogo search page. Also, the menu bar at the bottom won't hid even though the auto-hide is marked.

Reset your Homepage to whatever web page you want.

I need address bar to be on firefox screen, its isn't just web search showing up

I need Address Bar to show on m y firefox screen. I just have web search on my screen, not Address Bar.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox used to open to the same tabs that were open when I closed it. Now it just opens to a search page. I want it to poen to the same tabs again.

I typically run with the same six tabs open in Firefox. Until the day before yesterday, if I closed Firefox with these six tabs open, the next time I opened the browser, the same six tabs would open in the exact same order. That ended yesterday. Now when I close the browser, regardless of what may be open, the next time I open it, it merely opens to a single search page. Also, F1 isn't working for Help.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

When I start up Firefox, it comes up with cursor at search line, but I cannot just start typing. I have to click on the line before I can type even though cursor showed up there when I started Firefox up. This is a little inconvenient.

I have to click on Firefox search line when I first start Firefox up even though the cursor is already blinking there when Firefox starts.

As you can see from the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox using themes with Firefox] article, personas are "''lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars''" and they wouldn't change the webpages.
If you don't like seeing Google as your home page you might want to look at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page how to set the home page] and change it.
Finally Firefox 3.5.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until August 2010, so you might want to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox update to a newer version].

Firefox has been hijacked by "My Web Search" from Mindspark and I can't remove it.

Somehow, "my web search" has hijacked Firefox. When I click the Firefox icon, "My Web Search" comes up instead. I can't find Firefox to reset my home page. The problem program doesn't appear in programs, so I can't uninstall it.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

How do I prevent Firefox auto re-direct to Yahoo Direct Search page

When browsing in Firefox, I am being re-directed to Yahoo Direct Search page even though I did not request it. This is a major problem and you will lose users if this is not fixed. Is thete any way to prevent this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Firefox does not redirect users to web auth page

I have a client that uses web auth for the guest wireless. When a users opens up FF, it does not automatically redirect them to the web auth page. However, IE and Chrome work fine. If you copy and paste the redirection page into FF, it will go to the page then. The only two possible solutions I have found are to either enable web auth proxy or regenerate the WLC self-signed cert.
Anyone have any other ideas?
TIA,
Dan

I've been trying to figure out a very similar issue where Firefox wouldn't open the guest webpage (the connection was interrupted) and finally found it was caused by opening Yahoo as my startup page. I change it to Google, for example, and it comes up everytime now. When set to Yahoo I could clear my cache and it would work once but then wouldn't work again. If I load Yahoo as the startup page in IE it works everytime. Very strange.
Here's what the debug looks like:
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.793: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received connection
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.794: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received connection
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.795: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received request
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.803: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received connection
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.803: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received request
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.806: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received connection
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.807: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received request
*webauthRedirect: Jul 23 20:59:33.810: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx- received connection

When I log in to livejournal, it asks me if I want to remember my password. (Not firefox, LJ.) I tell it yes. This means I should NOT have to relogin at all 'cause I don't get logged OUT. Firefox NEVER brings me back logged in and IE always does.

How do I make it work the way it should? I have tons of sites I don't want to have to log into daily and this is ridiculous.

Its simply too complicated - it is NOT userfriendly and the help is a laugh.
Firefox is becomming just like any other program that does not work with humans. Like windows....

I upgraded firefox 3.6.10 to 3.6.11 and rebooted...when logged back in firefox doesnt start and is giving an error saying 1.9.10 is not compatible wth 1.9.11

this is the entire error message
Error: Platform version '1.9.2.10' is not compatible with
minVersion>=1.9.2.11
maxVersion<=1.9.2.11

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. 
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

I can no longer open my Comcast email when I launch from Firefox - it takes me to the email preview page but will not allow me to open the inbox . Does not happen with Internet Explorer.

This started last month - when I go to my comcast account, I'm able to log on and view my account but can not open my email inbox. When I enter my user name and password, I'm taken to the "Email Preview" page so that I can see a partial view of the inbox but when I click on "View Entire Inbox" it jumps to a page showing that it's loading but goes right back to the preview page - I can't open any of the emails. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer or Firefox on my older laptop.

Did you find out what addon?

I don't know how and when, but from a short time to now my Fire Fox page are being managed by one strange app named Facemoods and altought I attempt many methods for eliminate (regedit, control panel, etc) but nothing results, each time I push the Fox icon the facemoods take control of the browser page.

If you get Facemoods when you open new tabs, this is how to remove:
In Explorer- to remove Facemoods search from new tabs, the program has to be uninstalled completely. To remove, go to your computer's Control Panel--> Add/Remove Programs--> Find Facemoods and click Remove.
In Firefox- Go to Tools and then add-ons and find Facemoods. Click Options then select Advanced and uncheck the first option "Use Facemoods as enhanced search for new tab".

Common Questions after Updating Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Check and tell if its working.

When I open the Firefox browser, there is a bar stating, "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32-bit mode" and asks me if I want to restart the browser in 32-bit mode. What do you recommend I do? Thank you.

I do not have any idea what plugin they are talking about.

Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

When logging in to Firefox it brings up a Pogo web search page.
