Why does my home page keep changing?

Hi Guys and Guyesses,
Two days ago I dismantled my BT Broadband set-up and replaced it with one of the new, sexy looking black ones as seen on all the latest TV adverts. Everything seemed to go well and a desktop computer running Windows XP connected via an ethernet cable straight away and has caused no problems at all. Not quite so good when trying to connect a Mac desktop wirelessly. It is a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and ran without any problems under the old BT Broadband router.
What happens now is that my browser totally ignores my home router and tries to connect me to a BTFON contraption. I then have to click on the proper wireless network and it all goes well from then on after a bit of a kerfuffle.
The question is, how do I stop my browser, (Firefox), from going to the BTFON in the first place?
Cheers,
Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to go go into your MACs wireless settings, and delete the BT FON wireless connection, as its taking priority over your normal home hub connection.

Why does my wi-fi keep changing channels

why does my wi-fi keep changing channels?

the channel is chosen by the WiFi router. If you don't want changes for whatever reason, set it in the router as manual and set the channel you want.

Why does my home page suddenly open up with a small page instead of full screen?

why does my home page suddenly open up with a small page instead of full screen?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 6/3/10

Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

Changing into what? You need to give more information about the problem.
How are you connected to the net, describe what's happening. Hopefully then somebody might have some ideas.

Why does the character size keep changing to extreme small on the home page?

With the new Firefox downloaded the character type changes to extremely small print every time I go away from the home page. I then have to reset it to larger print. With old Firefox the print size remained as I set it all the time.

You didn't restore the device as new before you began using it. Do so now, and use your own Apple ID & password from now on.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
Then, in the Setup Assistant, use only your own information.

Why does my home button keep sticking. I have to press it 4 or 5 times for it to take me from an app back to the home page

My home button keeps sticking. I have to press it about 4 or 5 times to move from an app back to home page. Very frustrating when I want to change apps in a hurry. I have had the phone for just over a year without any problems. This started about three weeks ago. is there anything i can do or must I take the phone back to the supplier?

This is usually caused by gunk building up in and around the button.

New update of Firefox, now my home page keeps changing with each new session. What's the fix?

After Firefox performed an automatic upgrade, my home page and "Restore to Default" setting changed. I can input the correct URL and save and that works fine during that session. But when the browser is closed and brought back up again, it reverts to this different home page (my companies intranet page). I've tried changing the "home page default" setting in the browserconfig.properties file and did a find and replace of the wrong URL in the "pref.js" files. But it keeps going back to the wrong address each time a new browser session is started. This all happened after an automatic upgrade was done to bring Firefox to version 3.6.8.
This has happened on both of my work computers that run Windows XP - SP 3, IE 7.0.573 and Symantec Antivirus. So I'd think the chances of both computers being hit by the exact some problem, at the exact same time, changing the home page to the exact same URL and neither of the computers' antivirus protection catching it are rather slim. But I suppose that's a possibility. However, since this happened immediately following the browser upgrade, I have to think that this new installation has something to do with it.
Any suggestions?

Did you look for a '''user.js''' file in your Profile folder?
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
Prefs in that file will override the same pref in the prefs.js file on each Firefox startup.
Have you contacted your IT department about that issue?
Maybe they are overriding your homepage setting?

Why does my sg 200 keeps changing port mirror destination to g1

On my sg 200-8 I have 1 port mirror session, with destination set to g4. If I disable, then enable, it changes the port to g1 and g4 is not among the ones I can choose. How do I re-enable it, without having to delete it and create a new one. And why does it keep changing it to g1?

Thanks Thomas. I think I was looking at it wrong regarding the SG switch saying that access mode ports do not tag traffic. It looks like it's from the viewpoint of how the ingress traffic looks. So, a port in access mode assumes that traffic coming in is untagged. Once that traffic ingresses into the port it is then tagged with the VLAN specified for that port. Does this sound right? It's just confusing how the SG switches describe the access mode ports as the PVID being untagged, when it actually is being tagged after data ingresses into the port.
By the way, the layer 3 device is an ASA 5510, which is also performing DHCP for the VLAN.
As you mentioned, I think my core issue is the upstream trunking configuration, which I'm looking into.
Thanks for your help,
Logan

Why does my default calendar keep changing?

Periodically with no apparent end user intervention my default calendar selection changes. One is an Exchange based calendar and one Gmail.
Yes, I can change it back, but why does it randomly change in the first place?

Home page keeps changing

Ive had yahoo as my home page for years and over the last two weeks every time I open Fire fox my home page is amazon. When I change it back to yahoo it just goes back to amazon. I ran virus protection and ad ware. I have reset Firefox many times I dont know what else do

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Why does my user icon keep changing?

Hi all,
It's not the end of the world but annoying just the same - I set my user icon to one of the standard Lion icons when I first set up my new MacBook Air and later changed it via System Preferences to a different photo that I've stored on my hard drive. Or at least, I thought I changed it.
Lion keeps changing the user icon back to the default one that I set when I first set up my MB Air.
Has anyone else run into this issue? And does anyone know of a solution for this?
I can obviously live with this if I have to, but it sure it annoying!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I messed about with this for an hour today - trying all the ways that were suggested in these and other forums to no avail. it kept switching back to my original photo or nothing at all the moment I saved. FINALLY - I figured it out. I duplicated and cropped a picture within iPhoto and named it with my own face. Then I DRAGGED it instead of CHOOSING it to the contact card - and voila! Finally it stuck!
Such a trivial little thing but I was so tired of the "trial" photo I had posted when I first bought my computer. Good luck!

My home page keep changing to go.webalta.ru

I have set my home page to eurosport, but every time I open the FireFox, it opens go.webalta.ru.
I have already tried to restart the FF using "Troubleshooting" option.
I have scanned and deleted what was found.But some of them coming back.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and search for prefs that refer to webalta.ru.
You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Why does my iPod clock keep changing and then I can't access anything without connecting charger

Recently my iPod keeps changing time. It's seems to be losing time. When this happens I can't access anything without connecting lead and turning it off briefly.

Could the battery be dying?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why does my home page tab no longer have the new tab cross in firefox 5

I have just updated firefox from 4.6 to 5.o, but when I load it the new tab cross on my home page tab is missing. I can put one in by Ctrl/T, but would prefer to use the cross.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Imac 24-Why does my airport signal keep changing??

my airport signal keeps changing??
right next to my imac i have my powerbook 17
and it's signal is full...where my IMac signal is not??
signal on my imac is 2 bars from full most of the time!!
is this a IMAC thing or what??

No real help but this is a common problem for c2d machines it seems. They have the new "n" protocol wireless card in which willl be faster and further than the g with the new apple extreme base station. It will also be very good for streaming video (iTV). This is just consolation for an iffy wireless link. These boards have many threads on this topic (eg macbook pro area). Do a search any you will find the others with the problem and maybe a solution.
Cheers
