Why does firefox have yahoo by default as search engine?? It is very frustrating as I have tried everything but I am stuck with yahoo. i am sure explorer does not have to pay yahoo for ssuch such chep stunts. So what is the way out???

The previous versions of firefox had google by default, which was the best. But now it seems firefox needs money very badly so it has tied up with yahoo to have it as default search engine.
I have tried everything all that the volunteers have suggested but nothing works.
So what to do?? Dump firefox and go back to explorer??? Or can this be fixed????

Fix it easily.
follow the steps here:

  • HT5622 When I try to download an app from app store, it is asking for Cloud ID and Password.....but though i submitted correct password...it is not allowing to download....stating "Password incorrect". What is the way out...!!

    Suggest a way out for download an app, when phone shows a message-----password incorrect; though i gave correct password. Even i have logged into icloud and ensured the password is correct.

    You may have to either sign in to the website to confirm your account details (or do that through iTunes on the computer) or go to iforgot.apple.com to reset your password again.

  • I'm currently paying for a Creative Cloud photographers plan but I'm stuck with a free trial, how can i license it when it asks for a serial?

    I've paid for Adobe Creative cloud photographers package under a monthly subscription but i'm currently only getting access to the free trial as I can't seem to license the software, when I go to license it as instructed by Adobe I'm still asked for a serial number? When I check my Adobe account it shows no sign of any pain subscription yet they seem to be taking money from my account? I can't seen to find a means of taking it up with Adobe directly as I either want a refund of full access to the software i'm paying for.

    If you are being prompted to enter your serial number when opening your actively subscribed Creative Cloud application then there maybe missing account information.  Please see Creative Cloud products prompt for serial number on launch | CCM - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ccm-prompt-serial-number.html for additional information.
    In addition if you are facing difficulties reaching the activation server please see Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.  Also if you are managing a network please see the Adobe Creative Cloud Service Access Documentation for IT section ofhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html.
    Finally for additional information on managing your Creative Cloud account please see Manage your membership | Creative Cloud - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/membership-subscription-troubleshooting- creative-cloud.html.

  • I have a mac book pro with os x 10.5.8.......sometimes will not load google or yahoo, or any other search engine, but will load regular sites.....why is this?

    Check System Preferences - Accounts
    Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
    shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
    It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
    Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

    Note: I saw a G5 1.2 for $1,500 CAN. I was tempted.

  • My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this.

    My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this. If siri and alarm work fine, it cant be a internal sound system problem, and it is just for music without headphones plugged in or any other sound system.

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.
    You locate the nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
    And here is Apples phone numbers around the world for support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Can't dump Google/Chrome or Google and keep Yahoo as my default web search engine on Firefox. Can you help? Jim

    I can not keep Yahoo.com as my search engine with FireFox as my browse. How do I keep Yahoo.com as my default search engine when go on line with FireFox? Jim

    I think you need to modify the code in keyword.URL in the about:config window.

  • The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

    Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
    BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
    Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

    It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
    If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
    The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
    The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
    No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
    A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

    Here's my 17"
    In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
    Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

  • Is Firefox available for use in a Citrix environmet, what are the licensing implications

    Is Firefox available for use in a Citrix environmet, what are the licensing implications

    Licensing is easy: the [http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/ Mozilla Public License] is free and open. Naturally, it contains the customary disclaimers and limitations.
    Implementation might be more of a challenge because Firefox presumes certain things about the system.
    I suggest joining the Enterprise Working Group Mailing List to connect with an audience of corporate implementers on this issue and search the list archives.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • After installing yosemite and the latest version of iPhoto all my photos want missing. I have tried everything but my library is empty. Why on earth apple changed iPhoto. It wasn't broken who fix it. I am seriously consider to get ríd of my iMac

    Yosemite made all my photos dissapear

    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?  What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Do you get any warnings, when iPhoto upgraded the library?
    I have tried everything but my library is empty.
    What have you tried already?
    Where did you store your iPhoto library? On an external drive or your system drive? 
    iPhoto will create a new, empty library, if it cannot open or find your previous iPhoto library. 
    If you upgraded from iPhoto '08 or earlier, the iPhoto library needs to be prepared with iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this link:    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
    If you got error messages during the upgrade of the library, restore your iPhoto Library from your most current backup.
