Why did you kidnap me away from opening my home page and force me to your "introductory" pages that I did not want to see?

When I opened my Firefox browser this morning, I was "kidnapped' and taken away from my home page and forced to deal with your introductory pages about the "new Firefox." Why did you do this? I already have a mother, so I don't need another one. If it happens again I'll mostly change away from Firefox.

try to reset firefox ,it helps you to sort out : http://mzl.la/MnSTZB

  • This may qualify as inept problem of the year. Opened a tube of crazy glue about two feet away from open mac book pro and it exploded about two drop of glue on my screen. What to do?

    This may qualify as inept problem of the year. Opened tube of crazy glue with a pin down the nozzle and the interior pressure squirted two tiny shots of glue onto screen. I was two or so feet away from Mac Book Pro. Tried to remove them quickly but of course that only left behind two smudges. Any ideas?  

    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Will be cheaper than paying for a new screen if you scratch or tear it using a razor blade.

  • Every time I click on Firefox window &/or touch a key on the keyboard a NEW window opens and eventually opens up to some advertizement that I do NOT want to see

    It happened to me again(which it ALWAYS does) when I entered the above question...and I got a add about something from APPLE and I do NOT have any APPLE equipment...

    Hi asduane, <br /> Sorry you are having problems.
    I guess you have picked up some sort of adware or malware. Try to check and get reviews on both software and download sites. Then take care to read the small print about what is being installed.
    Run scans with multiple and up-to-date tools. Hopefully it will be easily detected and removed. I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.)
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

  • Who got this brilliant idea when you want to pick up a contact to first cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee  from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Who got this brilliant idea and change thing that way :  when you want to pick up a contact on your iphone, you first have to cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

  • Number of tabs open in Firefox 4 and for no reason the loaded page will disappear and I have a blank page defaulting to Bing, I cannot find Bing in any of the settings and this blanking out is frustrating.

    Upgraded to Firefox 4, and have a number of tabs open, and for no reason a tab will clear the loaded page and default to a bing search page, when I check extensions and addons there is no sign of bing so havent a clue how it is doing this
    I dont know whether this is related but since upgrading to version 4 everyso often the page will go into a loop if you are trying to refresh the page and the anticlockwise comfort bar will keep spinning

    Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

  • Why have I been sent an email asking me for my Apple ID and Password. How can I check that this is not a scam.

    I want to know why I have been sent an email from Apple to verify my account by asking for my Apple ID and password.
    how do I know this is genuine and is there a way to check that this is not a scam

    I would be very careful about email asking for your Apple ID and password. These are some of the Official Apple email addresses that would contact you:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    These email are not to be replied to at all and if the email you receive asks you to reply or has a link that doesn't go the Apple.com or iCloud.com domains, then they are definitely fake.

  • I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,
