Home page changed 10, how to stop windows?

My homepage is set to Google, but this page opens file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86) /Mozilla%20Firefox/ how to make back to my chosen homepage?

Hello!
Your desktop shortcut is maybe damaged. Here's how you can check that:

  • Shortcut on the desktop: right-click on the icon, choose Properties
  • Icon taskbar pinned: clic click right on the icon, right click in Mozilla Firefox, click on properties

Windows normally selects the shortcut tab. If this is not the case, go ahead and click on the shortcut tab.
The target line do not need anything after this part:
Firefox 32-bit on Windows 64-bit: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.
Otherwise: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If nothing is listed after this, clear out and save your changes. To test, you can:

  • Shortcut on the desktop: double-click the icon to launch a new window
  • Icon taskbar pinned: right-click on the icon, click Mozilla Firefox to open a new window

If you get a normal start or a new window showing your home page, the shortcut is back to normal.

  • How to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10

    Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.

    Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.

    Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.

    I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

  • How to set up multiple home pages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when you want...

    I would like to install and be able to click on a profile of Firefox (I guess that the profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and Open firefox about 6 separate windows (not tabs) on different home pages.

    If I use the vertical bar in the Options, it will open separate tabs but also cause the problem below that I also want to solve.

    Many times, I would also like to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my Quick Launch bar and DO NOT want all these sites open again.

    How is this best achieved?
    In the past I just opened each site individually in its own window.

    Thank you very much

    You can create several shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL on the command line and use the - new-window switch to specify a new window.

    You must use the - new-window switch for each URL (window - new - window-new-URL1 URL2).

    If the command line gets to long then you must use a CMD file to store the command line complete (start "" firefox.exe - new-window etc.).

  • I want a quick link on my home page icon. How can I add a?

    When I used a different system, I created links on my home page simply right click on the page and select the option to create a shortcut. I don't have this option with mozilla. I want it and cannot find an answer anywhere on how to get there. Clearly, just by clicking on is not an option with mozilla, so what's the process?

    An option is to drag the lock or the globe of the address bar and drop it on the desktop (or other folder).

    Who can be a bit of work to resize the windows to emulate the so someone created an add-on more closely how that is to say it.

    Unfortunately, extension has not been updated for a while, so you'll need to work around a bug, as described in one of the comments: "As others have pointed out, you should be able to operate in entering your add-ons, selection Options, ranging in the tab the path and say things to find the path."

  • How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

    Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

    Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

    I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

    What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

    Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

    None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

    You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

    1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

    2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).

    According to what you have done, it is likely the icon "Get Windows 10" to reappears.  Also, just remove the icon can't delete large files that can be downloaded to your computer to "prepare your computer for the installation of Windows 10."

  • How to stop windows 7 from automatically saving a copy of the file to the library?

    I have a desktop hp brand new high.  I installed Microsoft Office 2010.  Whenever I save a file, photo, etc, it saves a copy of the "library".  How it stop doing that?  I read about using the library and he said I could save a copy in the library, but it does it automatically.  Is there a way to stop this?  A I inadvertently set up in this way?  If I delete a file from my documents, it is removed from the library and vice versa.  From what I've read, it should be and the options, not automatic.  If you can help, please dumb it down a lot because I'm not well versed in computer talk.  Thank you very much!

    The library is in fact that index files and in showing them, not actually recording a copy I think. With Explorer open where you can see libraries, choose a category from the left such as the images pane and then right-click and choose Properties. In the window that opens, you should see your C:\ User\Pictures folder that is listed in the index. Click Select, and then click Remove. Now library should not index files. Select each category for example Documents, etc and do the same thing.

  • How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

    I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

    Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

    Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...
