Also, on the results page, there will be a little gear icon in the upper right corner.   Click that.   Click Languages along the left.  Choose "English" at the bottom.

  • Only my email font size has changed....it's gone smaller while everything else including ads is normal size. How do I change it back to 12 pt type?

    twice in the past few weeks the font size on my email has changed smaller. The first time it went from 12 pt type to maybe 10 pt type. Last night while I was chatting on Yahoo with our daughter, it went down to maybe 2 pt type. I couldn't find a way to change it back. This morning I opened up the computer to try to work on it again and the font size was maybe 1/2 pt type. The words look like little squiggles on the page. Both my email addresses on Yahoo have reacted the same but the ads to the right of the email on the mail page remain the same size. If I open up another window, and say go to foodtv.com, everything is normal size. I have opened up Safari and gone to my email and everything is normal szie so the problem is the Mozilla. I have also called ATT and gotten help and they couldn't help as it's definitely a Mozilla problem.

  • When opening Firefox my default home page is google, and it is now defaulting to Brazilian. How do I change it back to English

    As noted, about a week ago when I open firefox the google home page is opening up in Brazilian instead of English.

    Do you have the FastStart extension?
    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

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Microphone auto adjust while using google Hangout,

    Hi,
    While using Google Hangout the micrphone adjust itself, there is an option within Skype to stop it, but couldn't find it in Google Hangout, and it does it also when recording the sound, which lead me to believe it is Als/pulse related.
    Is there any option to disable it?
    Looking forward for your reply,
    Regards,

    Right,
    After searching the web a little bit more - actually quite easy to fine - but I was trying hangout for the first time.
    I found that solution, I haven't tested it yet; so if you do please let us know if it work.
    To turn off the auto adjust:
    cd ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin    # get to google chat's directory
    cp -p options options.bak        # make a backup before changing stuff !
    gedit options                # edit the config file
    now change one of the lines so that it reads as follows:
    audio-flags=1
    Now restart you machine and google chat will no longer auto-adjust!!!
    Remember to go to PulseAudio volume control just to make sure the left channel stays at 0

    Hi Timia,
    If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
    Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
    If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
      Open Google Chrome.
      In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
      In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

  • Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this?

    Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this? I'm using an HP Officejet Pro 8600
    thanks,

    Hello kanataorganics,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that when you use ePrint, via Google Cloud printing, the documents are printed two-sided. Are you using a computer, mobile device, Chromebook, etc, to access the printer?
    If you print from a computer, for example, not using Google Cloud print or ePrint, does it print two-sided on its own?
    You can check the Eco setting on the printer's front panel to ensure that the two-sided options are set to "Off".
    Check to make sure the printer has the most recent updates installed on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
    Cheers,
    JERENDS

  • When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

  • Upgraded ipad to io6 while in Moscow Russia now everything is in Russian. How do we get things back to English?

    We upgraded our ipad to io6 while in Moscow Russia  and now when we go to the app store everything is in Russian. How do we get things back to English?

    Maybe Apple should put that in the small print beside the "Install Update" button.
    I already tracked down the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2371
    information and did it and it did not work. I did that BEFORE I found the info on going to the bottome of the page and making sure the little flag was a USA flag, which it already was.
    Neither of these things fixed the problem.
    I will gladly try (with great appreciation) Anything that anybody has to suggest.
    Will "Set to Default" get me back to USA since we are back in USA or will it change additional to Russian? What all will "Set to Default" change?
