Why does the Google home page scroll vertically in Firefox?

It scrolls vertically only in Firefox. It doesn't scroll when I'm logged out, or if there is a special doodle.

Can you attach a screenshot?

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It directed me to the google home page and I am now suspicious that it is a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to Ipad. How can I check?

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It took me to the google home page. I am now suspicious that my friend's email account has been hijacked and the link contained a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to the IPad. Can any form of Trojan horse be planted on IOS 6 or am I worrying unnecessarily? Reassurance would be most welcome as I do use the IPad for checking bank details and web purchases. Thanks for any help.

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button and othr times it says file, edit, view History, bookmarks, tools, help? I barely learn how to run one version of the page and then it changes

Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help? I barely get used to using one type of set up and then it changes to the other without me doing anything??

[[Menu bar is missing]] and [[Preferences are not saved]] may help to you

Each page I navigate to comes up as the google home page or a google error message.

Each time I try to navigate to a new page, firefox either takes me to google home page or gives me a google error message. I have removed the software and reloaded it. I have cleared the cache and the cookies.

Go to Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
Another thing you can try is to double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and find the Safari icon. Press on it for a couple of seconds until it starts to wiggle. A red minus sign will appear on each icon. Press on Safari's minus sign to remove it. This may clear its memory of the bad Google page.
If this does not help, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Where does the Google result page go?

When I google for a search, then click on one of the results the page opens in the same tab. This is fine as far as I'm concerned, but a lot of the time (not always...) I cannot then back arrow to get back to the google results page. The back arrow is greyed out. How can I make it so that this does not happen?

After uploading Firefox 18 the AOL Home Page has replaced my Firefox Home Page and I want to remove AOL Home Page

AOL has muscled in and replaced my Firefox home page as above with theirs without permission.
How do I permanently remove the AOL home page to the trash can?
And, if possible, give AOL a "rasberry" for their rudeness?
Thanks <<<< Peter Barrett

With the recent upgrade of Firefox, AOL has insisted to be the homepage. It does not matter whether you change it to be something else. After you change your homepage, somehow when you have to open another tab, aol will pop saying you have changed your homepage, but will not allow you to click anything until you say yes to returning it to aol. This IS so frustrating. I can't believe Mozilla is allowing it or does not know how to counter it.

Firefox will only show the google home page or a File not Found error, no matter which site I try to go to

Ever since 3.64.4 was installed, Firefox opens in my default homepage but whenver I try to navigate anywhere else, it goes to http://www.google.fr/ (I live in France, therefore the .fr) OR it says Error 404 File not Found with the Google logo. Also the google logo shows up beside lots of my bookmarks though they are not google websites.
The same thing happens when opening in Safe Mode, and after installing the Adobe Flash 10.1 plugin.
I've used Firefox for years and never had a problem.

You can check the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
See "Firefox connection settings":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+cannot+load+websites+but+other+programs+can
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
What to do next?
Thank you.

Why does the down arrow button scroll content up?

The new logic/behavior with swiping up/down is now: "you are moving the content, not the scrollbar"
I can accept this as a somewhat good logic. It makes sense..
But should'nt the arrow keys behave the same way to make this behavior/logic consistent?
The arrow key down still scrolls the content up (if you think like that)
Or does the arrow keys scroll the scroller down.. Well which is it?

That would change the trackpad behavior, which is not what I'm looking for, but thank you
I'm just asking about the arrow keys and the logic behind the new natural navigation

Firefox was recently installed for me. When I open Firefox the Google home page appears on the right of the screen and I cannot delete it. I want Googlebut only WHEN I want it.

Nothing more to say

1. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Adding+screenshots
2. Set the homepage of your choice. 
See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page How to set the homepage]
3. Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

Why does the middle mousebutton behave so strange in firefox 4.0?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 from 3.6.** my middle mouse button behaves strange. When I press the middle mousebutton to scroll in a website and it happens that I release the mousebutton with the mouse over a link, the link gets opened in a new tab. The same happens with the links in my bookmarks toolbar. I am aware of the functionality of opening links in new tabs with the middle mousebutton, but in pre 4.0 versions of firefox if you wanted to open a link in a new tab, you had to hover the mouse over a link directly and specifically click it with the middle mousbutton. With 4.0 you can press the middle mousebutton anywhere on the website (even if there is no link), move the mouse around to scroll and then accidently release it over a link to have firefox open it in a new tab. This is very annoying i.e. if you want to scroll through a gallery with many pictures (that have links to bigger versions of themselves) and accidently releasing the middle mousebutton on a gallery image (with link) instead of some empty space. This way many new tabs that are not wanted get opened in the background. Additionally the functionality to just click the middle mousebutton to scroll and then click again to end scrolling is missing. You now have to keep the middle mousebutton pressed to scroll, which is a little annoying too if you want scroll through large websites/documents and have to keep the middle mousebutton pressed all the time.

Who makes your mouse? Is it a Logitech? If so, please see this post: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=206293

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet explorer page. It presents the google home page with a grey filter over it and does not respond to any touch or key. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working (i.e. mail, various APPs etc.)

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet access page. It comes up through a light grey filter and does not respond to any touch or keys. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working fine (mail, various APPs). How do I "unfreeze"?

I keep seeing the same ads over and over, even on the Google home page when I open Safari. It's not an inappropriate ad, it looks like it's for website design but I keep seeing it on sites I never see ads on, such as Apple's website. Do I have malware?

I'm just wondering if I have a malware or adware problem. I've ran scans using iAntivirus and Clamxav but they both indicate there's no issues. I'm currently having to start up in safe mode so I won't see the ads. Any ideas?

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
