• I spent a lot of time trying to make Firefox remember my home page, but whenever I load the browser I get Babylon homepage

  I contacted you before on Babylon. I have reset your browser and your Internet Explorer browser, but nothing has worked so far.
  I uninstalled Babylon and looked up solutions on the web.

  Please can you help me?

  Hello birddog2, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please make sure you have all associated Babylon extensions or other suspicious entries like 3 rd-party-toolbars currently installed under firefox > addons > extensions and the windows control panel (Babylon could install unwanted stuff that comes under the names 'browser Manager', "Browser Portector" (, 'Bprotector"'Object Installer', etc.) or in the control panel > programs section.

  in the case, it does not resolve the issue please, try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this search on a file named user.js window (it can be used to overwrite your custom settings). where it is present, delete or rename this file and then restart firefox.

  Firefox is a web browser, not a homepage.

  Looks like you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page to be the default home page in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not maintained by Google more so either ignore the message or while in Firefox, go to tools-> Options-> general-> home page section and change your home page.

• Firefox 5 opens three legs to start: welcome Firefox to my home page and to update download helper 4.9.3 to 4.9.4. I put the browser from my home page and nothing else. How can I fix it?

  I want just a single tab with my home page at startup. After updating to Firefox 5, I can't get rid of the home page. After update to support download, I can't get rid of the tab saying I need to update to 4.9.3 4.9.4. I removed Download helper and reinstalled but still have the problem.

• I have never set up email in Windows. Please advise me on how to do it. Thank you

  * Original title: Windows mail

  I have never set up email in Windows. Please advise me on how to do it. Thank you

  See Bruce Hagen answer and I would add that there is no obligation to use the e-mail program included with Windows.

  As far as I am concerned, as with other programs provided with Windows (almost all programs in all versions of Windows), the application of electronic mail that ships with Windows Vista is a very bad choice. Are a lot of other choices available: some by Microsoft and by third parties, some for sale and some free. They are almost all better than what comes with Windows.

  I recommend that you don't just use what comes with Windows, but try several others and choose the one you prefer.

• When I open the browser Firefox with Yahoo home page. Images and the font size is so small, I can hardly read it. Frustrated! Tim

  I was on the Firefox help page and tried everything that was suggested. I have yet to find a default selection value where I can put my home page to open to say 125% or a way to have it open where I don't have to enlarge each page - whenever I open it.

  You can increase the chain pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1,0 to 2,0 to 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox (percentage divided by DPI, for example 150% / 96).

  In current versions of Firefox this pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

  • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
  • Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
  • Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.

• I have firefox set to open my home page. But he maintains the opening pages of tabs from last time

  on the tab General options, I have a home page at startup. But Firefox 28 ignores this option. It opens rather than who had open last time.

  My root problem could not turn any subject: config parameter. So, I guess
  My preference were corrupt. I did like one of your suggested links and launched the safe mode and reset to factory default. I'm good again. Thank you!!

• Why firefox changed yahoo home page. Now different from IE

  For some reason any Yahoo homepage which I always use has been changed on Firefox. On IE, it's the good old home page that I not only like but was used to. I prefer Firefox as my browser but want to the Yahoo homepage back regular. Any ideas?

  The left one looks like a 'mobile' simplified layout. It could be that one of your Yahoo cookies that Firefox is sending to the site has a preference for this layout. Private Windows having a separate set of cookies, which would be consistent with the results of your test.

  You want to try to clear all cookies from your Yahoo to see if that fixes it? First, save all work in progress such as the draft e-mail messages. While displaying a page on the site, try either:

  • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
  • (menu bar) Menu Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".

  In the dialog box that opens, yahoo.com should show at the top. You can delete cookies from the site individually, without affecting other sites.

  Then try to reload the page. Who help me?

• Firefox has a home page, like IE or should I use a different browsers home page?

  I want out of the MSN homepage in IE and I was wondering if a homepage is available in Firefox? I can't seem to find anything that could answer this question, but I'm not well versed in the use of the computer.
  Probably a thing of the age.

  Firefox and IE are web browsers. You can set any page you want the home page in Firefox, or leave the field blank. The default homepage in Firefox is Subject: Home

• Taskeng.exe malware turn away from my Firefox at Yahoo home page and I can't understand how to remove.

  I ran scans using Norton Security Suite and Microsoft Safety Scanner and cannot get rid of the malware Taskeng.exe. My guess is that because it shares the same name as a legitimate file, the antivirus software does not recognize it as a malware. Also, I went online to get suggestions and tried to open the computer in Mode safe to look for a second file with the same name, but it does not appear. The malware Taskeng.exe turn away from my Firefox at Yahoo homepage which slows down Firefox when opening and it slows the opening of other sites as well. Suggestions?

  FIRST BUT cela;

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
