I keep getting on my Yahoo homepage, yet I bing as my default. I really don't like yahoo. How can I stop getting yahoo on my homepage?
Yesterday, I installed Firefox on my new computer. When I used it, I got Bing on my home page. Throughout the day and evening, I downloaded several programs and somehow I started to have Yahoo on my home page. Bing is set as my default with Google as secondary. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled in the hope of getting to what I started with, but I always get Yahoo on my home page. How can I get rid of Yahoo?
See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page on how to change your home page of Bing.
If you mean the default search engine see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Search%20bar?s=manage+search+engines

I get SPAM in my email that I don't want. How can I stop this?
original title: the unwanted e-mailsI keep getting emails where the only text is an address websight I guess they want to click me on and visit. How to put a stop to this?
In addition to Brian comments, a lot of these messages is not actually that is sent to you, so you can set up a filter that if messages are to you, then stop processing the message rules and then set up a message rule later to move all messages to a junk folder. This way only messages actually to wrap you in the box of reception, and you can no longer display on the undesirable and delete everything that you want.

Keep no apparent reason of my pinned tabs disappear from Firefox. This has happened three times now. I have not synchronized to any device. I keep my story and not erase it.
Hello Silvia,.
Sorry, you have problems.The system to store this information seems to be a bit fragile.
When trying this please ensure you favorite whatever it is open and close the unnecessary tabs and don't let any ongoing work, initially you can lose more than just pins tabs. Once things go wrong, that several sessionstore files can be created, clear duplicate follow these instructions:
- See this for instructions on the profile search. Use the troubleshooting information, while Firefox is open profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
- Make sure that everything is backed up or bookmark and close Firefox
- Remove all duplicate sessionstore.js files found in the profile. Those with a number or.bak
As mentioned in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files - Restart Firefox, you may have lost some information i.e. pins or other tabs
- In the future when shutting down Firefox always use the menu option, which is from the Firefox button on a Windows machine. Do not kill the process, or close the window of final Firefox using the Windows icon at the top right.

I installed the latest IE, but I keep getting a notice to download whenever I start. How can I stop it?
Hello Buster Funch,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!
First of all, you can try to check what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer.
To determine the version of Internet Explorer, click on about Internet Explorer on the Help menu or press Alt + H and then press A.
If you are repeatedly prompted to download and install the Windows Internet Explorer update, I suggest that you try to check if Internet Explorer is installed correctly. See this article for more information on this:
You can try to reset the Internet Explorer security settings by running the Fix - it suggested in the article.
If nothing works, then try to uninstall Internet Explorer and try to install it once more. Here is an article that will give you steps how to uninstall Internet Explorer 8:

The new tab behavior is driving me crazy. It keeps re-centering on legs closest to the top of the list when I move a tab. How can I change this?
I don't want to download an application. I would rather add a new string in any config or just change those there to false. It makes my life as a rather hard work, to be forced to go all the way back at the end of my list after you move a tab just to have to do it again. I mean it's to the point where I could consider changing browsers if they had tab scrollbars.
Edit: Now I will download any application. Please stop this stupid feature.
I downloaded the beta version and it stopped. Thank you all for trying to help anyway. I probably didn't explain my problem very well in the first place, but you tried to help him. Thank you.
