How can I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium
I received a message that I thought was since Mozilla Firefox saying I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.
I went to control panel configuration/programs and features, Astromenda and uninstalled. Then I adjusted my options for my Firefox home page and got rid of Astromenda on the opening of Firefox. However, if I hit the '+' tab for a new tab, I get a 'search' Astromenda tab. I went to 'searchplugins' in Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced by safesearch.xml. Did not help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.
I'm going on the web and found Web sites on how to get rid of the Astromenda but they want to download me various adware cleaning tools, but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.
Thank you
Download anti-malware/adware cleaning tools are the best way to remove these infections. The MalwareTips site is a reliable source of information about the malicious software removal. For more information on malware, see:

How can I get Aero Glass to work in sp2 to Vista Home premium?
Specifically, I can't the sidebar t o go transparent as if it was at first. It worked when I first got the computer (Dell Studio 17), but somehow stopped. All the other solutions seem to refer to windows 7. My Control Panel has none of the tabs referred to in difficulty. It does not meet the "convenience store" or "Troubleshooting" also I run Firefox, not IE cause I'm always with bugs. The auto fix - it wouldn't run or download in firefox.
Hello
(a) use Internet Explorer to download and run the fix - it.
(b) run services.msc from the line of departure and search, locate the themes service, and then select. Use the start/restart option. Once it is loaded and executed, check Control Panel/Customization/Themes and select the Windows Vista theme.

How can I get a Dell J740 to work with Windows Vista Home Premium?
Someone gave me a Dell J740 printer but it won't work with my Windows Vista. As much reading as I did, I do not believe it is compatible. I wish they would do the printers to work with any laptop, computers. It would be too easy.
You seem to have stumbled in the Windows 7 section of this site instead of the part of Vista. Never mind. The answer is the same, unfortunately.
It doesn't seem to be a Windows driver for this printer for Vista or Windows 7.

How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.
A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
cbrsarahChange 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

How can I get rid of a search engine that took the home page?
Search.US.com took my hone page and everything else he can. I tried all the suggestions allotted to me by the help section. I went up to delete cookies. It's very invasive. I looked to re-establish the system but have few options for recovery points and they do not include the download of search engine. I removed the add on it came with as well. I had removed the search engine in Add/Remove programs and was stupid when he asked if I wanted the restored default settings. I said no. I fear that I am pretty stupid when it comes to software. I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time in this matter. PS I put what I thought was relevant in the bottom box. I had not seen this before. I tried to change it, but could not.

First of all, you should be able to reset your home page in the following dialog box:
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > general > getting started section
If that restores the next time, you have probably some other cleanup to do.
If you prefer to use the built-in Firefox homepage, this module can help rewire the Google search field:
