• Firefox continues to change back to Yahoo Search by default even if I deleted all search other than Google.

  New installation of Windows 7 x 64.

  First program I have installed is Firefox... and I did have the time in the last three weeks to install anything else.

  Whenever Firefox has updated these last few weeks, the default search engine continues to get back to Yahoo. If this is part of the agreement with Yahoo Search, then I'm history; I use Chrome instead of Firefox, although I have sorely missed it. I don't like having to go make adjustments each time I install an update of Firefox.

• versions of Firefox continues to make my mouse and keep nexer crashing. same settings on v4 is great along.

  OK, so he started a few days ago (when 15 were new version),.
  (1) firefox lasted at least a minute before the crash saying firefox has encountered an unspecified error and will be released. Then the area of sending accident report would open.
  (2) where he worked; my muse maintained suspended, as if unplug you the unit and plug in, no problem on other browsers with the same sites, but on fox, he did.

  Corrective measures:
  (1) I disabled all addons and extensions without dice.
  (2) re not installed using beta v 15 then 16 then 16 now no dice
  (3) re installed windows and installed Firefox works fine but when I import my stuff from backup even without addons and extensions (using mozbackup) he starts problems. repeated step 2 but still zip.

  I have uninstall and install version 4. import all THE settings of plugins even extensions addons everything and it works like a charm.

  Why the hell newer versions have a problem with it. ? they are supposed to be more resistant to crashes.

  What is the brand and model of your mouse? You went to the makers website and downloaded the latest drivers?

  Try to do this, make sure that Windows is perfectly day and then update to Firefox 16.0.1. If it still crashes I will ask for the ID of the accident. Firefox plant - troubleshoot and prevent assistance fixing crashes

• Firefox continues to ask to use 3.6.13 update even if "about firefox" in help watch already uses firefox 3.6.13.

  After the update to Firefox 3.6.13 I continue to receive update notifications to version 3.6.13 after I installed the update and restarted Firefox. Looking at the tab "about Mozilla Firefox" using the specified version is 3.6.13.

  This notification keeps appearing everytime I open Firefox. A few times while I use the browser to other tasks.

• Use Firefox for many years now, I am forced to use Yahoo on new tabs. Goodbye Hello Chrome firefox!

  After updating Firefox, I am forced to use Yahoo when I open new tabs. Every time I change my Google search engine it changes it back to Yahoo. I found solutions for reset keyword.urI but guess it will not default to google as it was because of Firefox new partnership. I won't say what I feel now until this message and see if I'm more react.

  Yes, your first reaction is certainly understandable - such behaviour would be of course against all that firefox is the abbreviation of (initially 'user choice').

  Since these programs unwanted kind of shit often come in bulk, I also recommend you run a full scan of your system with different free security tools such as malwarebytes and adwcleaner - those who are specialized in the detection of the adware and browser hijackers.

• Firefox continues to try to replace by Ask as my search engine. I want to use Google, but FF keeps changing it back to Ask, even when I remove Ask in the function "manage search engine."

  See the question. That's all what it!

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Several free programs will install Ask 'Special Edition '. Foxit Reader, you have installed, is one of these. You must not choose on these items or to download the free program or during the installation of the free program. Foxit Reader, the opt-out is during the installation of Foxit Reader. See the image attached to the opt-out Foxit Reader.

  First try to disable or uninstall the Ask.com toolbar in Firefox via "tools-> Add-ons-> Extensions". See: disable or remove modules.

  In some cases, you may need to uninstall the Ask toolbar, using the Windows Control Panel. See cannot uninstall an add-on - uninstall of Windows Add/Remove Programs.

  You may also need to reset preferences related to Ask.com via subject: config, specifically the key word. URL preference-
  -Open a new tab or window.
  -Type Subject: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  -If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)

  Hi bdnao02,

  It looks like a known issue reported here:

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014

  There was a workaround solution posted, but I have not tested it myself.

  The bug has been fixed in Firefox 10, then you might want to try installing the beta version if you feel that it is important enough.

  Hope this helps!

• Firefox continues to change the url that I entered

  I've updated a Web site. When I paste the url in Firefox it keeps changing and display a different page.

  The one I want is http://megalithmovers.org/blog-2015-10-24.htm
  Firefox continues to change it to http://megalithmovers.org/blog-2015-01-24.htm
  The two pages are valid (they have the date in the url as YYYY-MM-DD)
  I know that the url is valid, that I stuck in other browsers. Somewhere FF has cached the page in January. Being too smart for that is good, it's settled I've mistyped the url and displays this page, not the one October.
  I deleted all the history of this site, but that makes no difference.

  Please don't tell me to restore the FF default settings - I'll have to re - install all Addons then.

  and Firefox still work after this message appears. I already uninstalled and installed new Firefox completely, and the message still appears upward. What this mean and is it harmful to the computer?

  I'm on Windows 8

  I had the pop up ads sensation can cause the problem and talked about it to the engineer in computer science from my father. It installs Malewarebytes and there was indeed still a maleware by repair men left. The difference was, Chrome to view the full announcement page while Firefox may have in maintaining security to block this kind of page, and the result was the error message.

• How can I stop Firefox to redirect me to the Yahoo search engine

  When I try to go to the official site for ATF Cleaner, Firefox redirects me to the Yahoo search engine.
  I have removed all references to Yahoo in my registry and searched all the user for any reference to Yahoo profiles. I am running Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows XP.

  It is also possible that this problem is due to an add-on, maybe one who snuck on your system as part of a bundle.

  In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?
