How can I stop firefox open Web sites related to my search?
Hello.
I'm having a problem with firefox and it's getting really annoying.
When I search something in the upper right search box, Firefox opens a Web site with my research already established in the site (e.g. ebay or amazon, but it is irrelevant because I am looking something like "How do I ") but I don't want to do that, he has never opened a site I want.
I also disabled at each outside of google's search engine within the parameters of "search".
I also refreshed firefox and reinstalled several times.
Thank you

How can I stop Firefox opening old windows/tabs after a crash?
every time it crashes and I try to re-open the program, it opens all my old tabs and windows. often, these are the videos which all begin to play both. or worse still, it opens the page that did crash in the first place and crashes again.
How can I stop this annoying feature?
If there is no way to stop it, can you recommend a simple browser that don't try to think for you?
The value of the integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.
This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.

When I opened iTunes App Store link, Firefox wants to automatically open iTunes. In Options > Applications, I found the itms and itmss content types, which causes this behavior. I can change "always ask them", but when I do, I get a automatic every time I open the link asking me to choose between "iTunes" or "Choosing an Application." To avoid future pop ups, I check "Remember my choice for itmss links" but only after selecting iTunes or another application. There should be a third option there for 'doing nothing '. Is it possible to tell Firefox to ignore completely the content of the itms/itmss?

Is there some prefs the protocol handler if you are looking for the topic: config page?
- Network.protocol - handler.
You just solved my problem - there is no Network.protocol - handler.external. itms or itmss prefs, so I added the Boolean values:
Network.protocol - handler.external.itms
Network.protocol - handler.external.itmssSet to false and voila! No iTunes, don't ask me what program to use.

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?

How can I import an entire Web site in dreamweaver using an IMAC?
It doesn't matter which computer you use, as long as it meets the requirements of the specification for Dreamweaver (as almost certainly does an iMac).
You define a site in Dreamweaver and set up the connection information for the remote server. You can then connect to the remote server and download the pages of the site and other assets, such as images. The following video shows how to define a local site define a site in Dreamweaver. Adobe Dreamweaver tutorials CC. There is a separate video on the remote server configuration: put in place the server connection information. Adobe Dreamweaver tutorials CC.
