Cannot change the home pages

I scanned for malware, reset Firefox, search and uninstalled all toolbars and unknown extensions, uninstalled Firefox for all users on this computer, deleted all the profile folders for all users on this computer and re-installed Firefox after each of these changes. Firefox retains settings and works fine until the computer is restarted. Then, Firefox comes back to home pages that have been set up several months ago. I tried this with different versions of Firefox for a few months to see if it makes a difference. This isn't.
What is happening on a Windows System 7 Pro 64-bit as part of a 2008 Server domain (no roaming profile configured).
Where it is to find the old settings and how do I get rid of them?

Use you the Advanced SystemCare or any other software security/utility with a protection function of the parameters? These can be called surf Protection, Protection of the browser, the Home Page Protection, etc. You may need to turn those off in order to save changes to settings.

    Hi ohmer, you must use defaultPref() for the parameters that users should be able to change and have full control over - pref() allows to deviate from the default for the current session...

    Change the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
    For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • How to change the Home Page of mozilla.

    My home page changes in searchus.com every time, I start my browser. and when I open a new tab its shows a blank page, which has been showing some of my links that I use for most. Please help me stop the changes in the home page of the browser. and new tab window.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences at each start of Firefox.

    The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences that cannot be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • cannot set the home page to about: blank, it keeps loading google search page

    After trying a small utility, I'm stuck with the toolbar of Babylon and the home page... Yes... I place the small checkpoint to disable installation...
    No problem, I managed to remove all that...
    But since then I can not get my homepage to stay together about: blank... it continues from the Google search page. I managed to link the homepage about button: empty, but when I add a new page (by clicking on the + sign next to the tab on the right most) I get the Google search page...
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello l.j.claessen, please perform the following steps - they must remove the remaining bits of Babylon:

    • Go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this window look out for a file named user.js, delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

  • Cannot change the ASPX page with Webdav connection

    I can't change the ASPX pages with webdav on my IIS6/win03 server connection. I connect to the site very much, but when I press the edit button I get an error message stating 'cannot lock the page for editing at the moment. Try again later. "I can edit pages html very well. I can edit ASPX pages if my connection is set to network and I am on a network share. I have even another server where I can connect with webdav and editing ASPX pages.

    Looks like a configuration problem on this particular server, but I have no idea what it is, and I can't find answers. Anyone had this problem before? How did you solve this problem?

    I tried to delete the LCK and defining files and the files from scratch, no luck.

    THX

    OK, I thought about it. If you run 2 sites in IIS, you must take pages aspx on extensions to the application. Go to the properties on the site that you have the connection to via Webdav and click the configuration button. Remove the entry for the aspx extension.

    I guess this is the answer for people having problems with other pages such as php and asp, server-side

  • RoboHelp 6 - generate chm - Menu - & gt; Cannot display the Home Page-

    Hello
    I was able to generate a CHM on my local PC, but when I read the help line in the window and I go to the OPTIONS in the window menu (next to the icon to print), it displays the "Cannot display Page" messge

    Please see screenshot

    Someone please help

    Welcome to our community, apollo321

    What offered Colum is certainly valid. However, based on your screenshot it seems you are maybe by clicking on the home and be puzzled as to why the home page cannot be displayed. If this is the case, you must configure the point home to display the desired page.

    In RoboHelp 6 accomplish you it as follows:
    Expand the Windows username folder
    Double-click the CHM window and you should see the properties of the window
    Click on the Advanced... button properties
    Fill in the field titled "Home".
    Recompile the project

    Note that you can really put anything on the ground. You can insert a web address like http://www.google.com , or you can point to a topic in your help system. If you want this area to open your default topic, you must type the path and the name of the default theme.

    Hope this helps... Rick

  • I can't change the home page

    Some time before, my homepage has been set at 3 sites.
    One of them needs to be changed now, but it's impossible.
    No matter what I do, the homepage is the same
    Web sites. I can't reset it by default, I can't edit prefs.js and
    have no effect, there is no user.js I see anywhere.

    I even deleted the application and remove any profile
    information (that I know), no change. Home 3
    pages are back.

    There was a mozilla.cfg in program files (x 86) who had
    integrated in home pages. It has not been indexed by
    the windows file an indexer for a reason, so when he didn't
    show it when I looked for it, I didn't know that it really is.

  • Cannot set the home page loading Firefox

    My homepage itself, has recently changed although I did not authorize this change. I want to make msn.com, but now it displays bing.com or Options page Virgin Firefox seen after clicking on the "Reset" button on the page.

    I tried to enter the home of the Options page section msn.com and also drag the msn.com tab to the home button on my browser. MSN load when I click on the button Home, but at the start, one of the other pages loads. Once again, I've done zero replaces myself my homepage settings. I would greatly appreciate all advice.

    Thanks in advance.

    Good news! By placing the cursor on the user.js file and take a screenshot of the location, I was able to find the file using my computer, then delete it. Since then, Firefox * seems * to load my homepage provided on each new startup. Therefore, I should be in good shape with regard to this issue.

    Thanks for all the help. Very much appreciated.
