I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

I have to enter the remember password login at least twice each time I open a new instance of Firefox. Is there a fix for this problem?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

@the-edmeister
Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
Great to have Sync. :)

Safari signs me out of a web page each time I open a new tab within a web page I am already signed in to

How can I stop Safari from signing me out of a web page each time I open a new tab within a web page I am already signed in to?
This is very annoying, how can I stop this??

Extensions.
1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click “Remove All Website Data”.

An unwanted bookmark window appears every time I open a new page

When I open a new page I very frequently get a window full of bookmark folders on the left of the screen. It takes up space and I have to close it over and over and over. I can't find a preference that will make it go away forever.

I upgraded to Firefox/3.6.3 on April 7, 2010. I am running OSX 5.8 on a G5 PowerPac Mac. This problem happens when I click on a link that opens a new window on my Mac. The new window then automatically opens with the history left bar open. It is not occurring when I simply open a new window myself.

I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
Select the add-on you wish to disable.
Click the Disable button.
Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

When using firefox and each time I open a new tab I end up with a split screen and it is annoying. How so I fix it.

I open firefox. Go to website then where there is a + sign I open a new tab. A new tab comes up but then splits the screen into two with a new tab in the middle and I end up with 3 small split screens in the one instead of 3 separate tabs.because it is doing that i cannot then get a full screen and go about my usual business. Lately there seems to be numerous problems with fire fox loading also. it continues to come up with page not found and try again. I hit try again and then it may find the page. these are on sites that I access daily and have done so for several years now. Never before have I had so much trouble with fire fox. Not only I but we have four computers accessing the internet ...have done for some time and never had this problem but everyone is suddenly experiencing the same problem. The only thing new that has been put on the main computer is a K9 protection thing recently and I am wondering could that have anything to do with these issues and if not is fire fox having tech issues . How can these problems??

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I don't want yahoo search to come up when I open a new tab how do I make it so it does not go to yahoo?

Before my last upgrade when I opened a new tab it would open to a new window without yahoo or any other page just blank that is what I would like to happen now.

Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..

Almost every time I open a new page, and that page has an ad with movement or video, the browser page hides behind other open pages. This is really annoying.

I don't see any evidence that this is malware. For instance i opened a page that was for a major newspaper from Dallas. As i reached my cursor to the page, it hid behind the other pages, and i had to now reach down to my taskbar to find it again. When i did, i saw an ad on the page with movement (flash?). Anyway, the ad was for breast cancer awareness, and was made by that newspaper, which is why i think it has nothing to do with malware. Same thing happens everyday with normal sites like Yahoo. Anytime an ad has movement or video, the page is only visible for a second, then hides behind the others. This has really become a major annoyance.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How can I stop firefox from redirecting me to the stupid survery every time I open a new page?

Every time I open up the browser, starting this morning, it redirects me to a survey. Every time I open up a new tab or page, it redirects me to a survey.

this sounds like an issue witha dware/malware on your computer. please try all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > 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.

I reinstalled hoping it would get rid of the error message that pops up each time i open it TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

When I open up Mozilla i get this error message--TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
also when i am working on my real estate web site and pull up a name i get the same messag. At the top it always says-- Java Script Application

That error is caused by an incompatible/malfunctioning add-on. To identify the culprit follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article. One add-on that has caused this error for some is AVG safe search.

How can I change the default url each time I open a new tab?

New tabs used to open up with the same home page I use when I open firefox but now all tabs open up with something different and I can't find where to change that.

New tabs in Firefox have always been a blank page by default, but there are many different add-ons that can change that action to a specific web page.
This is probably the simplest add0on to do that, but first you need to figure which add-0n changed it from a blank page and get rid of that add-on.

MAC | Each time I open a new window with ctrl-n, the sidebar opens and then I have to manually close it. How can I do a ctrl-n and not have the sidebar open?

Do you have any Sidebar-related extensions installed?
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

In Indesign I would like to be able to have the tools and the controls open automatically when I open a new page or document. Now I have to select them in the windows drop down.

I do not want to have to choose these two controls or tools in InDesign each time I open a new page or doc. How can I make them open automatically?

With nothing open, try pressing the tab key, and/or resetting the workspace.
