Why do you think you have to (a) add extensions I don't want, (b) change my home page, (c) move tool bars around, (d) lord knows what else, at every update?

Well, well, well. Here's update #32.0, without any idea what to expect. (Mozilla is turning into MicroSoft Light.)
So okay, let 'er rip. Now I have this thing called Nimbus, which I don't remember asking for, and I have yet to figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks for blessing me with more stuff I'm never going to use.
And gee, another new home page. Great. Is it not possible to leave my settings alone while you upgrade?
And looky looky, my toolbar has been rearranged. Joy!
I'm really sick of this.
Free and open source or not, if I wanted continuous screwing with my software, I'd've stayed with Explorer.
And let me put the "Reload Page" button where I want to put it, not where YOU think it belongs.

hello, firefox doesn't add any third party extensions during an update - this rather sounds like adware that is present on your system. please perform these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • What can I do to change my home page from bing to google- I have tried 50 times and bing always shows back up as my home page

    I have done everything firefox says to do to change my home page. I want ti to be google but when I drag the icon over to my home page it only stays there for a few minutes and then bing shows back up. there is a little message that appears and says "someone has tried to change your home page and we have blocked it". I don't want bing aas a home page-don't know how it got on there anyway.

    Try clicking Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
    Add/Remove Programs
    Look for something called Windows Live Search Protection or Bing Search Protection.
    If you cant find that, try clicking Windows Live in the list, then clicking the change button. Untick anything that mentions Bing or the Bing Toolbar.

  • Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done (when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?". No way of copying your book before, or restoring it after?

    Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done with a single press of delete (and which can be done when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?" before it happens? No way of copying your book while you are working on it (to make multiple versions of it, or just to have a safeguard copy), and no real way of restoring it after (since, remarkably, the photo books don't appear as items - items which could very easily be recovered otherwise)?

    I get a dialog box when I try to delete a book.
    And if you right click on the book in the left column you can duplicate it so you can have multiple versions.

    I could be just missing it somehow, but I don't see any episodes of "So You Think You Can Dance" available on the iTunes Music Store at all.

  • Where is the so you think you can dance page?

    where is the So You Think You Can Dance page? I cannot find it anywhere.

    Forget hotel technical support. All they'll do is refer you to a toll free number to the other side of the globe where somebody will tell you to click a Start button, or something. It's an utter waste of time.
    What you describe is a "captive network" and yes, the need to authenticate each and every time you shut down your Mac or let it sleep is a common annoyance. The IT idiots that sold the Internet package to the hotel chain is long gone. Complain to whomever you can find, and perhaps one day they'll address their own incompetence. Until then keep your Mac connected, don't shut it down or let it sleep. Even then you may find yourself logged out from time to time, which you might not even become aware of until web pages stop loading. You can do nothing to fix it, other than to refuse to frequent that hotel chain. Be sure to tell them why.

  • Who do you think you are?

    Who do you think you are? Every week i am peacefully watching youtube videos when, suddenly, i need to actualize flashplayer and i can´t watch more videos unless i do it. Farther, to reinstall it i must close all my explorer windows so i am loosing my time and job.

    You have a job that involves watching YouTube all the time? That sounds like a fun job!
    As for having to update Flash Player each week, that's part of having signed up to use the beta version of Flash 11.6. If you go to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    you could run the uninstaller to remove 11.6, then on that same page you could go to the 11.5 installer page. That version will only occasionally get security updates.

    You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user technical support forum.
    If there is content that you would like to see in iTunes, contact Apple and the content owner. Ultimately Otis up to the content owner if that content is made available in iTunes.

    3 beeps usually means a Ram problem, have you added or removed Ram recently?
    And I will assume that you do not have a Mac Pro, but that you have a portable, a MacBook Pro.

    I have Nightly Firefox installed.Why it updates frequently ?It updates everyday or every 2 days.How will I know what's new in update ?

    The MozillaZine Builds forum has a recap of which Bugs are fixed in each new pre-release version. A new thread is started each day, and covers Nightly, Aurora, Beta, and sometimes covers special builds, like the current Holly ''(Nightly without the Australis interface)''.
    Those thread are entitled as such. The date changes everyday with each new thread.<br />
    '''The Official Win32 20140201 builds are out''' <br />

    Quite honestly, you should consider using the 32-bit release version rather than the "cutting edge" Night 64-bit version, which isn't currently being developed or supported.

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

    Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

    Normally, an update does not change your home page...
    What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
    I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
    * Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
    * Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
    * Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
    * Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
    With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
    I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?
