After visiting Yahoo, Yahoo hyjacks my page hoome and changes to return to Yahoo after I have change back in Options

I visited Yahoo in Firefox and Yahoo hyjacked my homepage. When I get in the Optoins and she back, somehow it is automatically changed to Yahoo (actually http://searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net/h?eq=U0EeCFZVBB8SRggXeFoIBQ5AEhhFdFoITA0UQlAOeQleVhREFgdAeQFbWQpFQlAFIk0FA18DB0VXfWFoKB8fHHRQM1BLFWkeSFtX) after about 1 minute. I tried to reload Firefox and searching the registry of the Yahoo URL without result.

What continues to change my homepage from Yahoo? I searched my PC for TAP to no avail either. Does anyone else have this problem? Specifically, does anyone know what causes the homepage be reset to Yahoo after reset Options to the original homepage? There are similar questions on this site, but no answer to my specific problem.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

See "create a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

Did you remove the Firefox program folder before installing a new copy of the full installer of Firefox?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

If you keep the problems, and then create a new profile.

    Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job? I have a HP PSC 1350

    Hi - I assume that the page that you see printed is the alignment page.  This happens usually if the alignment process has not been made.  All you should have to do is take the printed alignment page and place it face down on the scan scanner glass and press.  Who must complete the alignment process and eliminate the page printing every time.  If you have problems, try following the procedure described in this document.

    Hope that helps.

  • Using Page breaks and change the model

    I'm working on a book.  The book is in a Word format.  I'm taking the text and the porter in InDesign with page after page being connected. There are 73 pages in total of pure copy once worn on in.  Now I go and put the media in the text.  I have two basic model master drawings that I use according to the content referred to this in the text.  Example is that Master model has a white background, master model B, which has a black background.

    Given that the book is alternating between the models based on the content on the page pages could look like this:

    Page 1: Model has

    Page 2: Model has

    Page 3: Model B

    Page 4: Model has

    and so on.  I have a question about the page breaking.  I want to always keep the content on page 3 on a main B template background.

    However, if I add more content to A, or if I use a page break, the content on all subsequent pages is pushed down (all pages are linked).  So if I jump from Page 1 page, my page B content is pushed on a background model.  It is obviously not what I wanted.  Should there be another function outside of page break should I use to put the separaters?  How can I ensure my content on page 3 remains on a background of the B model?

    Currently, your text is threaded into a continuous narrative. When you add the new text in the Middle, everything after this point will move. To avoid that you should break the text into separate stories for CCE content type.

    It is essentially the same as dividing the chapters of a book, so that each of them begins on the right master page, which is didcussed at some length here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3993405#3993405

    Thank you for sharing the details of your browser, that appear to the right of your message in Question details > Details of the system more. If you check your extensions, you can see that you're infected with "Searchme" and you must delete it.

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CMD + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, remove or disable Searchme. Keep in mind that all extensions are optional and none is included with Firefox when you get it first.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Is that what helps you regain control?

    This could be the tip of an iceberg of malware. When you install free software, you often get the options grouped under silence. I don't know the best way to 'clean up' a Mac of these elements, but you may want to consider the issue.

  • Firefox changed my homepage from Yahoo to the Firefox home page. Now, every time I change back to yahoo, it it changes just back to firefox. What should I do?

    I keep changing my homepage from Yahoo, but it keeps going back to Firefox Homepage each time that I open it again my browser.

    It's strange. You have a program named Advanced SystemCare? Some users have reported that it has a function of protection of homepage that you should turn off in order to change your home page.

    If that does not apply to your system, could you review this support article and see if anything here helps you: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    What antivirus you have installed before? Is the virus/malware-free system? If you have a current antivirus installed and you went through at least some of the malware removal steps I list in the link I have given if you are sure that the system is clean, uninstall McAfee and see if that solves your problem. If you connect to the Internet behind a router, you can be sure for this quick test. If you are connected directly to a cable/dsl modem, then firstly download Avast or even Microsoft Security Essentials (both free). Then, disconnect from the Internet and uninstall McAfee. Install the antivirus of your choice and test. If all goes well, your problems have been caused by McAfee. This is not surprising since McAfee is perhaps the worst choice for safety, we could do.

    If you had any antivirus installed before McAfee, then you must go through all stages of thorough removal of malware listed in the my link before anything else. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • L7680 ejects blank Page before and after print job

    My L7680 has recently started to eject a blank page before and after a print job; separator page option is NOT selected.  I have tried all the suggested trouble shooting points in the HELP section, but none solved the problem.

    The button Configure the printer had the option to return all the default values - that solved the problem, but it takes you to set other choices that you have made since you use the legacy.

    Hello, firefox 22 is now about the density of pixels you have upgraded to system in Control Panel > appearance > display. more information about this is available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

    If you want to set the text size/pixel density in firefox is different that your system settings as it has been addressed in previous versions, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. Double-click it and change its value to 1.0 (or any zoom factor that suits your needs; -1.0 is the default and will respect the parameters of the system).

  • After you have reinstalled Th 38 (due to a problem of XPCOM), it now opens, but the large windows is stuck to one that opens with the name of the account.

    I think that Th 38 was the reason why my computer did not open at the total. Once that has been fixed, Thunderbird does not open more (error: XPCOM). After you have reinstalled Th 38 now I can open it and it looks good with the left pane, but the large window on the right is glued to that shows when you click on the name of the account (top folder in the left pane). None of the folders work, and none of the tabs on top of the page or the other. The only things that work are the links in the large window. I can see and open your messages by searching in the Inbox, for example. Would be grateful for any help!

    Looks like the problem is solved! I was appalled when I saw how many emails I had stored and deleted a large number of them. Then after restarting the computer, everything seems to be back to normal! Praise be to God! Too, Firefox seems to be back to normal after that I did a cleaning.

    Thanks anyway!

  • Add ons said display Adobe Flash Player RealNetworks (tm) RealDownloader PepperFlashVideoShim plugin out date even after I have download and update. It s

    I have the version 1.3.3.66 Adobe Flash Player RealNetworks (tm) RealDownloader plugin PepperFlashVideoShim., which is obsolete. I click "update now" and go through the process installation, but after that it says always "obsolete" and "update now".

    Also have Adobe Flash Player Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0, which was recently updated.

    Should I just delete the RealDownloader?

    Thank you.

    Pepper plugins are not used by Firefox.

    This API is for Chrome and Opera browsers, and it should not even appear in a list of Firefox Plugins or the Manager of the Addons > Plugins. It is a 'fault' or a Bug in the installer and must be fixed by Real Networks. My advice is to just ignore it.

    How to make a screenshot of my problem?
    It is best to use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot and make sure you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

    Then use the button Browse... below the text message response area to download the screenshot.

    This Plugin Check page was performed on all browsers of 'service', but has recently Mozilla Firefox only and they cannot switch off analysis for API extensions for other non - Mozilla of. IOW, do not allow a person who uses IE to use the Web page (as I just experienced when I used IE here), but the scan stiil looking for ActiveX and pepper API 'plugins' in the registry?
    Perhaps "other browsers" are disabled temporarily because of the recent eruption of updates Flash and Mozilla blocking the exploited, older versions of Flash, and once things return to normal on this page loads they intend to allow "other browsers" to access this page?
