• How can I get the address book to always open with personal addresses. It opens with "all address books.

  When addressing and e-mail, addresses always open with "all the address book. This book contains many addresses which are not intended for daily use for most of the mail I write or pass. I want to always open with "Personal address book" to shorten the research process. I have not had any problems with this before the last update.

  Firefox does not have email or have an address book, it is strictly a web browser.

  If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

• change the firefox icon in the address bar

  I try to customize firefox to look like IE, don't ask why, believe me, I don't want. Anyway, I downloaded FoxE9, that customizes a bit look like ie9, which I think it's the closest I'm going to Firefox.

  Only problem Im crossing is the firefox icon that is in the address bar on the left side, I think its called a favicon?

  Is it possible to change or remove? It is also the portable version of firefox 26.

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/foxe9/
  
  Not much in the way of images of example here.

  If it has nothing to do the Web site you are viewing, then this isn't a favicon. Please provide a screenshot of what you are referring.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

  It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that 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.

• Firefox opens with two home pages, my original PLUS the Firefox installed the update tab.

  Seems that my original homepage no longer works, if you want to change my home page. Firefox does not remember to put me in the new home page and continues to open with the homepage of old, of origin, as well as the Firefox update page. Weird, it doesn't on my computer that stays at home. Help?

  You may need to remove "user.js".

  You can find it in C:\Documents and Settings\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

  I think that there is another folder after profiles so you can end in there

• Need help with the address bar of Internet Explorer

  Hi, I have internet explorer 6, and usually I can rely on the address bar and show beyond Web sites visited. When I delete history and cookies, however some Web site links that I haven't visited for a long time. For example when I type b, a bbc link is displayed in the bar. However it does not appear if I do not press b. What's also weird is that sometimes the bar shows some word files, images or folders that I visited on my desktop, and other locations on the computer, as well as research on sites such as google as well as downloaded files. So I was wondering how can I remove it, so that, for example when I type www. It only gives me the possibility of weather or a Web site called www1.bottomdollar.com. I hope it is clear that basically I would like to erase everything from the address bar. I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. Thank you

  Hello

  Stefan suggested in the previous announcement, you can delete this links in Internet Explorer under:
  --> Tools/Internet options, delete cookies, delete files, clear history.

  Don t forget to mark the option delete offline content all under delete files.

  Also if you want to clear the AutoComplete please go to the content tab.
