I can't begin to describe it, firefox opens Web sites and I don't know why
Please HELP I've ever had problems with this browser that I use almost exclusively. Now, last week, I'll have nothing but.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Once again, I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox after it seemed to be going haywire. I set how I want it to look, and I want the toolbar to show, the "file, edit etc." and I usually don't have problems finding how to do that.
But yesterday, those who have disappeared and I use them too much and I don't know what happened.
So after I uninstalled and re-stalled, that took care of it.
BUT now this browser when I open, I open a new tab, which should bring a blank page, it goes to the last site I've been. I have not defined to do so.
(1) anyone know how to stop this?
(2) it opens to the home page IF I click on firefox, but a new tab to do exactly this.
Why is this happening? That is my second question. Can anyone remotely be tampering with this? How would that happen, if so, and how to I guard against it? I DO NOT let this save passwords. I don't let any browser do that. Last, my email on my phone worked just fine until Friday morning, the last time it synched. Now I can't get emails on my phone because it says "password changed" -- what the f****? I didn't change anything, I am getting my emails on my notebook just fine, I have a pin on my phone so I can't fathom what is happening. This NEVER happened with my windows phone. I put in the password, and that was that. No issues. That strays from Firefox, but it is an overall cause of problems of changes etc. that are making me very concerned. Yes I have macafee security. LAST if someone had remote access, such as a tech with a company, and you end the access can the remote access ON THEIR END be re-connected?
THANK YOU MUCH in advance for the help because of firefox and no indication on the other.
Gina

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

Can't click on a Web site and images don't load, need help!
I need to fill out a survey online, but I can't check the small boxes next to the images or the options. First of all, I noticed that on this site;
http://www.Buzzfeed.com/Peggy/Bohemian-homes-Youd-love-to-chill-out-in#.liMj9b8pqw
Images has not been loaded, but I thought it was due to the slow internet connection. When I clicked on the links that were given as the source of all the images loaded. Then on the test I noticed that I can not click on options. To make sure that I had a problem, I tried some lame games such as:
http://www.Buzzfeed.com/tomphillips/true-or-false-or-what#.eaOjqW6kJ2
I tried some of the options on the support page as disabling add ons, restart firefox on SafeMode etc. I even updated my shockwave, java, etc. Later, because of the risks, I uninstalled java. Still nothing and need help!Thank you.
Thank you guys for your interest. I solved the problem by removing mozilla file from my computer and reinstall. Now, everything is perfect. For the survey I have to fill out, well it turns which includes soundcloud.com which cannot be opened with mozilla and chrome files. I could open it with my phone and noticed that the questions were all files to soundcloud.
Thanks again.

How can I make an icon out of a Web site and put it on my desktop for easy access?
At the same time, I could partially reduce a web screen and physically pull an icon on the top left corner and on my desk. I did it with Firefox, and there remains today, allowing easy access whenever I want to go to this Web site. But apparently those days are over. Why? What do you suggest me?
[email protected]Hey gregorpinney,
It's actually very easy to do. All you have to do is to go to the Web page you want to bookmark. Click the icon of the site on the left side of the URL, and then drag the icon on your desktop.
It is probably easier to see it done, then you should look at the article create a shortcut on the desktop to a Web site.
I hope this helps!

After a long work, I learned that I'm unable to download programs such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Security Scan. In fact, they do not enter the folder C:\USERS\CLAUDE\DOWNLOADS\---mais they may not be recognized by the operating system (SYS 7) because for some reason any access is denied. I looked at the book and find that Claude file is locked. I don't know how it happened. I tried to see how to unlock but again without success. Can you help me?
Thank you
Hi Claude1112,
Looks like you can't access the download folder. I'll help you with this problem.
1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
2. what security software is installed on the computer?
3. have logged as administrator?
Method 1.
Start the computer in safe mode and check if you can access the downloads folder.
Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, then proceed to clean boot state.
A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Once you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 in the article to start on normal startup.
Method 2.
You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.
Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.
Method 3.
I would like to create a new user account and check if the problem still persists.
Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Create-a-user-account
If the problem does not occur in the new user account, you can transfer the files from the damaged to the new user account by using the article user account "difficulty a user profile is corrupted.
Difficulty a user profile is corrupted: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
I hope this helps.

Please help
It is with the search bar on the toolbar?
You have probably changed so that it uses the search engine for ebay.com and Bing not by chance.
Just click on the arrow down-/ and left click on Bing.

I rec would be a msg telling me my FB acct was to be terminated. I went to all the FB help pages and couldn't find any place or anyone to answer my question of "why?" There is no confirmation for the cancellation email or anything else. I ran my McAfee security scan / AT & T and changed my password. Someone help me please to know what is happening. Is it a fake? I never have or never will abuse Facebook or any other site.
you will need to contact Facebook.
It is my hypothesis that the message you received was a fake, looking to scam you by providing your login information by clicking the links in the e-mail message. It is called Phishing.
If that were true, only Facebook support can help you.
