I love Firefox, why does it now go to yahoo, when I use it, I want Google back.
Every since I got Firefox (years old) when I entered a research topic, he always used Google, today, he started using Yahoo. I want Google to return, I wouldn't change a thing.
Hello
It's strange, only new installations of Firefox should have Yahoo as default search value engine. If nothing else apart from your search bar is different, you can change it by clicking on the magnifying glass on the bar (when you place your mouse over it, a triangle down should appear), your follow-up research "change search settings."
If your home page or the new tab page was also changed to something that you did not indicate that she, this could mean that an extension of application/malicious has been recently installed and changed these settings. Check your modules for all suspicious extensions:
- Tools (or
) > Addons > Extensions
Check your list of installation programs in Windows - Control Panel > programs and features. Generally the malware comes with other applications, if you sort by date and see several applications on the same day, it may be easier to find the suspicious applications in this way.
Reset search tool will also change your homepage, the new tab and engines page if there is no research, and then uninstall itself. Note that the new default search engine is Yahoo, so after using this extension, you will need to change your search bar settings by following the steps I described earlier with the magnifying glass.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Microsoft safety scanner
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner

I also tried with reset firefox, still nothing, just had to get my addonns installed it again. I liked my old homepage visually and really want to come back. In the past I have had similar problems but had it fixed and now I don't know what to do.
Hello Vidabg, you cannot restore this old homepage. It was not maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time that the search between google and mozilla contract was in place, which now is no longer the case. the new default homepage that uses firefox now is Subject: House.

I used a free trial version of Wondershare and the downloaded PDF beautifully. A response to a question from Google suggested the rotation of the OCR, but is no longer an option?
I am a subscriber of DC of Acrobat. I used the PDF export to Excel export feature. I did it by opening the PDF and choose the export option. It is a PDF generated Bank from a client. The text is composed of symbols for most. It is a statement of Bank of America for a checking account. The statements of his savings bank of America converted very well. However, there was a different look between 2 PDF files. Thanks for your help in advance!

When I click on send to a Craigslist of announcements of sale, e-mail software does not run. When I used the same craigslist Web page with Internet Explorer, the e-mail program runs without any problem. Not sure why this problem?
If you change your preference of mail helper in Firefox for 'other use '.... "you are presented with a command prompt to select an application click 'Browse... '. "and browse your computer for the program of choice. Even if you're already shown two e-mail programs, try to re - select the one you want to use via the method go and then try again to open a mailto link.
If this does not work, open your profile button in folder
Help > Troubleshooting Information
and the release of Firefox. With Firefox closed, remove the file "mimeTypes.rdf" of your profile folder, and then restart Firefox and Firefox will re - build the helper, file applications and you can try again to send someone from a link.

Why does first add an extra frame when I/O marking?
Why would I ever intentionally remove a supplemental box after my brand? I constantly have to go all the way and save a frame out an appropriate brand.
Selection the clip gives good I/O brands... so why this happens when you go to the next edit and define? It is completely incoherent and pointless behavior.
Hi Jonny,
jonny9091 wrote:
.. .but setting of the brand in incorrectly an image in the next clip.
But, if you select this item and use "mark selection" set I / O... it would be exactly 5 seconds.
It is a common misunderstanding. If you use the playhead to frame Cup, you will be cut 1 frame in the next clip. This is why when you use the read head to mark an out point go left frame, then mark Out to be correctly. Although it may seem wrong, it isn't. Scoring of the selection properly functions, but even better is to use the Clip mark because you do not have to select the clip, simply the targeted track.
NLe ALL this. Media Composer has an option if you press a modifier key when you mark an exit with the reading head, it will have the same effect as the move left one image, then marking. If you do not see this, make a request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
It is good that you found this little quirk. I don't know there are a large number of editors who never discover this are continually edition counts a handful every time without even realizing. When I taught edition in different schools of commerce and the Bay area, it was a thing I made sure all my students had to their credit.
Thank you

Why isn't my type keypad correctly when I use Googlemail to email?
When I use googlemail, my new Toshiba Satellite L350 type properly - constantly missing letters / spaces - I have incredibly slow to check that each letter is registered on the screen. The laptop keyboard has this problem, as well as branch keyboards. No other application is affected it is to say I can type at the speed in word
Anyone encountered this problem?
See you soon
Katy
> The laptop keyboard has this problem, as well as branch keyboards.
This has nothing to do with your laptop. This issue here is in the wrong place. Try to contact Google support and ask them why does this happen?
To be honest, I noticed a similar behavior when I write emails on GMX mail. Some letters are simply not there.Believe me, that has nothing to do with the functionality of the laptop.

Why Lightroom will not save the file when you use the image Capture?
When you work with video in Lightroom 5, whenever I press "Image Capture", I get an error message that says: "cannot save the file." I tried this on several video files, and I get the same message. Video files are. MOV files. I can't understand why this is happening!
I had this same error message. I solved it when I moved the video file on the hard disk internal to the computer, and then it worked perfectly. He always gave the error message when I used an external video file from my hard drive. There for a long time until I tried this. No one answered this problem in forums that I could find.
I hope this helps.

I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.
I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.
I hope someone can help.
Hi willy of San Jacinto.
I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.
Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:
OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work
If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

I understand that now, there is a kind of union between Firefox and yahoo? Since an update, yahoo has been my default. Topic: config I was offered no solution as a keyword. URL has been removed. Please notify.
You can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, perhaps an addon intrudes here...

Some problems rendering of fonts are caused by the graphics driver incompatibilities. Could you try disabling the use of Firefox graphics acceleration hardware?
You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
If you restart Firefox, display is improved?
