Suddenly when I click the Firefox icon I can only get something from MSN, and a Bing searchengine,so I want my Firefox back

I am sufficiently computer-ignorant that I haven't a CLUE as to what or why = Just that I went to search something on my default browser, and I get this weird MSN thing, with a "search" box that says "Bing". Can anyone tell me how to get my old setting (Firefox) back? This is a Windows 7 on an old HP laptop HELP!

Does the same page appear if you do one of these:
* Click the Home icon on the toolbar
* Open a new window using Ctrl+n
''If Yes:''
Your home page setting probably was changed. You can change it to your preferred home page again. These articles describe some different ways to do that:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
''If No:''
Your Firefox shortcut on the desktop may have been hijacked. You can check that by right-clicking the shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab. For your version of Windows, the Target line should be exactly the following, no more, no less:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If there is anything extra after that, delete it.
Any improvement?

Why am I getting File not Found alert when I type into my browser?

Why do I keep getting a File not Found alert when I type into my browser?
I have been using firefox for about 4 yrs now with very few problems. The problem I am having is that when ever I go to type in anything into my browser I keep receiving this message:
(Scroll down to see the rest)
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieschronic+fatigue+syndrome.
I recently installed Firefox 5.0 and this keeps happening. It happened with the 4.0 version a couple of days ago but mostly it is the 5.0 version that I am having problems with. When ever I want to do a search I have to manually type in google.com. Is there a solution to fix this?

The NuGet is a dll that was built with 4.0.0.0. The easiest thing to fix problem is target you VS project to use Net 4.0. You could get a new version of NuGet, but if you do make sure you rebuild your entire project. The dependencies in
the VS compiler doesn't always recognize updated libraries. So I normally rename the bin folder in the project and then delete the bin folder. VS will create a new bin folder and then rebuild all the source files. If your project contains
multiple projects then remember to delete the bin from all projects.

Why do I get the 'critical stop' sound when I leave the firefox browser - doesn't happen with explorer?

Why do I get the 'critical stop' sound when I leave the firefox browser. This doesn't happen when using internet explorer?

Do you mean that there is a problem with closing Firefox?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try to use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

How do i stop my Yahoo email from auto signing me into it when i sign into firefox

when i sign into firefox, and if i have new email, my email auto opens when i sign into firefox. i don't have to give my password. in the bottom right part of the page, a box pops up and says i have (so many) new emails, there is a box to click on and my email opens with no call for my password. this way anyone who opens my firefox can read my email. how do i stop my email from auto opening?

Agreed, malware isn't the issue. It seems to be a JavaScript call that sets the focus to the search field once the page finishes loading. If I were using Firefox, I could use a plug-in to stop the call, but I don't know of a plug-in for Safari that would let me do that.
You're right, I just started noticing that a couple weeks ago. It drives me crazy! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Question when I log into Firefox, the screen scrolls down and I have to use the side-bar to go back up to type my query into the 'search' window. How can I stop that and get Firefox to start with the 'search' window accessible? With thanks, Peter

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.

Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards

Updated to Firefox 21 and when I open the firefox browser it ask me to update to the latest version

I finally updated to Firefox 21 and today when I opened the Firefox browser, my google homepage looks odd and a large message from Firefox appears saying I need to update to the latest version of Firefox. I double checked the version and I have version 21.
I also don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem. A pop up window is suddenly appearing just after I turn on my PC, at first I thought it was triggered by Firefox. It's a security warning saying the certificate from GEOtrust SSL CA isn't a trusted certification authority for javadl-esd-secure.oracle certificate. I just find it odd that this message just started a few days ago and now after updating Firefox to the latest version, it's still telling me to update. Thanks

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I am able to 'create a new version from original' but when I try to export the original, I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. The original is obviously there but why can't I access it please?

In Aperture 3 when I right click on an image I am able to 'create new version from original' which suggests that the original is there. When I try to export the original I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. These particular images are from 2010, has the RAW file become disconnected somehow? Please, how do I get access to the RAW file for editing in Ps? Thank you. Thomasrevil.

Sorry leonie, 'Use RAW as Original' is not an option for the image shot with the Canon.
Then your Import settings must have been different, when you imported the Canon photos.
You can check, if there is still a hidden raw file somewhere. If the image has been imported as a pair, you should see the "J" badge in Browser and Viewer, if you enable badge overlays. This indicates a pair, with the jpeg as original.
Select one of those images, and then relocate the original files "File > Relocate original" to a folder, where you can inspect it. Use "File > Show in Finder" after ward. Look, don't touch .
Then put it back, using "File > Consolidate".
Do you see your raw files in the folder, or is only a jpeg there?

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc, i only get the graphics but not the text. How do i remedy this?

When trying to convert a pdf file into a word doc I only get graphics but no text. What to do?

Hey hamsa142,
I think you are converting a scanned PDF to word.
You might need to run OCR first to make the text recognizable and then convert it to word.

Hi,
Go to the iPhone
GO to Settings > Messages
Is the iPhone Number ticked to be enabled (It will be greyed out and not editable but should be On)
If it is Off (Unticked remove the Apple ID)
Place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a few minutes.
Go back to Settings Messages and make sure the Message app Is Enabled overall.
Check the iPhone Number is verifying.
When Completed test by sending an iMessage to your Apple ID (Mac)
If that works add back the Apple ID to the iPhone's Settings.
Restart the Mac App and Accept the op ups that appear as to what the iPhone is using.

Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.
