Why do I default to MSN when choosing firefox how do I stop this

when i choose firefox Iam presented woth MSN browser

Are you talking about the internet browser or the home page? 
'''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''. Check the default browser at the
bottom of the page. As to your home / new tab page 
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers". When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

Go to settings on your iPad select store and look to the bottom of the screen - ensure it is your apple id shown as being logged on - if it not yours click on the apple id choose log out and then enter your details and password.
If someone has entered their apple id on your ipad and automatic downloads are enabled you can be receiving apps they have purchased.

Firefox can open multiple home pages. The home pages are separated by the "|" character.

Internet provider wants to provision my modem when using FireFox, how can I do this.

I bought a Surfboard modem (SB6121) so I would not have to lease a modem from Time Warner Cable any longer. When I use FIrefox to navigate the web, TWC asks me to provision my equipment. I talked with their customer service rep, who was able to see/ping my equipment with no issues. I can use IE8 to surf with no issues.

Did you check the connection settings in Firefox?
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+cannot+load+websites+but+other+programs+can
You can also try to clear the cache in Firefox.

Upgrade to Firefox now defaults to a proxy server setting - how do I stop this???

I use Windows XP and Earthlink is my internet provider. About a week ago I downloaded the upgrade to Firefox. Since that time, everytime I connect to the internet I get the error that Firefox is trying to connect thru a proxy server - I do NOT work thru a proxy server. I have to go into internet options in my control panel, go to connections and remove the proxy server checks in both the dial-up settings and the LAN settings. THIS DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO THE UPGRADE!! I tried to go back in my computer settings to a date prior to the upgrade, but that did not change anything. HELP!! What can I do to stop Firefox from defaulting to a proxy server setting???? Earthlink tells me that this is not an Earthlink problem, that it is being caused by the Firefox explorer.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection 
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

HT5361 Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!!

When I open iphoto says I have 4500 pics I haven 't downloaded that many. When I looked I have pic of ebay home page facebook a lot of different web sites I've visited How do I stop this and why is this happening.

This happens when someone drags the HD or a system folder icon to the iPhoto Window by accident. Solution: restore from back up created before this occurred.

I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this. Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I'm on microsoft word and typing and get to the bottom of the page a new page doesn't just come up, i have to manually put it there so then when i go back and add stuff to the first page i loose whatever was at the bottom. how do i stop this?

When I'm on microsoft word on my macbook air and get to the bottom a the page, a new page does not come up. i have to manually insert one. so then when i go back to edit my work and add something in what ever was at the bottom of the page disappears. how can i stop this from happening or change it so a new page opens by itself?

It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

Apple TV 3 Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?

Since I updated my Apple TV 3 to 5.1.1, the Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?
At the moment I have to go to the HDMI channel that my ATV 3 is connected to, wake the ATV, then put it back to sleep, to turn OFF the status lght.
When I first got my ATV I did not have this problem, when it was running 5.1.0.
I sent in a Feedback form, but they only as the option to select the OS version of a NON iOS device.
Is there a fix to this that wont involve me leaving my modem ON all the time ?
I turn my modem OFF when I am not using the Internet because I am a bit paranoid about the security of the data on my devices, and if I leave the modem turned ON all the time it might make me an easier target for hackers etc. { This is NOT part of my question, just explaining why I turn my modem OFF ( I feel safer ) }
<Edited by Host>

The ATV3 does that to me when I turn on my TV. the light goes on and stays on. If I switch to the ATV3, it seems to be half asleep with the light on ... I do wish Apple would enable the HDMI CEC and then everything would make sense. I've turned off my wireless and on again but the ATV3 light does not turn on automatically for me.
As you pointed out, I guess this could be a small glitch on the new firmware/software update... I wonder if this could be fixed by doing a restore from the iTunes app. I might give it a try tomorrow and see what happens...
Cheers!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
