installed firefox last, won ' t hold home page, will not be updated from kaspersky

I updated Firefox to worm. 40.0 and now my laptop, which is a HP with Windows 7, has all sorts of problems. I use Yahoo as my homepage, and it will not hold my homepage. He continues to go to a page of Yahoo search instead of yahoo page I use. I continue to restore, but it won't stay. I restarted Firefox, I restarted my computer and nothing works. Also Kaspersky will not update. I never had any of these problems before the update to Firefox. And the Pocket will not work on any of my three computers. Two desktop computers and laptops are all HP PC running Windows 7. I have connected to the pocket with [email protected] and have tried all the things you me in previous emails and still contributes nothing. Also have minor changes to some other software I have, but I can work around these. All computers have been checked against viruses and malware and are clean. What grit? [email protected]

PS: I tried to connect to my other accounts of Firefox and have reset password several times but always rejects password and I cannot connect. It is a completely new account, my 3rd email account. If it stops working I can't communicate with you, so how do you?

public email Edition and robots to spammers. You should get an email when someone replies to the thread.

How did you check for malware? It certainly seems malware-ish. Here's my method to track down and clean the bad Add - ons and other hijackers. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the surface elements undisclosed bundle which snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

(2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Any improvement?

(3) check an optional parameters file called user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. Unless you have created this file, it may contains settings of an add-on or external software. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

If you find a file named user but not user.js, Windows can hide the extensions of file on your part. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest showing all file extensions. This Microsoft support article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions.

(4) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

Success?

  • Home page will not save

    I tried everything to get Firefox (v. 26 I think, he has recently updated) to save my home page. Nothing works. I tried reset, change config, addition of profile, the antivirus, remove cookie scans, reinstall, everything from simple fixes to the most complicated, all that are in the pages of support for this issue. And yet, I can't save my home page. I used firefox as long as I remember and have never had this happen.

    The only thing I notice is that there is no user.js file in my config. There is one pref.js file but I don't know what to do with that or if it would help. I activate a new profile well and that did nothing.

    Hi Tigerbite, it was genius to do this research. I think that the ascsurfingprotection.js might be the problem. Advanced SystemCare is a program that can clear your changes because it is to protect yourself against unwanted changes. You may have (temporarily or permanently) shut down its surf protection device to make the change.

    Note: I do not recommend to modify these files manually.

  • home page will not be displayed

    I downloaded firefox 12 now, it will not be displayed when I try to open that a page with lots of info but no home page

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

When I click on 'tool', 'options', 'general' always happens http://www.rogers.com/smartkey as "show my home page".

    Not sure what I did, but now on one of my web pages, where all other fonts are Verdana, the word, the home page, is Times Roman now. No matter what I do, I can't change the font type to match the rest of the site. ideas?

    < p align = "center" > < a href = "index.htm" > < strong > home < / strong > < /a > ' "

    Suzette, you must remove this line in the head section / styles section of your page:

    The browser does not know the font whose name is a facebook address, so it takes the standard Times New Roman font.

    Delete the line and everything will be fine.

  • FRUSTRATED! Changes to the page will not be updated

    So I had to upgrade a customer site (in the region which were not editable by them).

    Using Dreamweaver, I've made the changes, downloaded the file.  When I goto the site, it displays the correct page, but when you go to InContext Editing, he continues to show the old version of the page.  I tried to remove all of the site in the Site Manager, no luck; I tried to remove index.html, downloading the same file as index2.html and then renaming index.html index2.html and still no luck!  I'm extremely frustrated... If anyone has had this problem?  All solutions?

    Hello ripriani4,

    Looks like you see the (old) version of the page that has not been published. When you enter InContext Editing editing of a page, it searches a draft version of the page. If a project of the page exists, it is what you are presented with when editing. You should be able to "Throw the project" in the lower left corner of the editing environment. If you throw the project, InContext Editing will create a new project (which contains the most recent version of the 'live' page) the next time you edit the page.

    Please let me know if this can help, or if this isn't the case for you.

    Best regards

    Corey

  • I'm under Firefox 9.01 yet my home page says that I use an older version?

    I have re-installed 9.01 several times but my home page has not been updated to the new version and there is an error message that I am not using the current version, but if you go to help on firefox it says it's 9.01

    It - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded message 'upgrade' in this page - all versions of Firefox see this message.

    From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

  • How do we install the folders named on my home page.

    I try to install the folders named on my home page to store favorite bookmarks groups, for example, the case of astronomy, etc. I had them before I've updated for Firefox 8, I have to do something wrong because just as much as I try I can't find a way to reproduce again. Kind regards

    Looks like you can use an add-on that is either disabled or is not compatible with Firefox 8.

    If you go to tools-> Addons, then look in the 'Extensions' list, are there who are disabled?

    If you find that it is an addon that is not compatible, more information is available here: reactivate the modules that have been disabled when upgrading from Firefox.

  • Text looks washed out when I launch Firefox or return to the home page.

    When I start Firefox, the text on my home page looks like it is washed out or as when a printer is out of black ink and print only the color. If I update then everything is normal. I found that it only does so with Firefox. IE and Chrome are ok. I tried safe mode and removed my extensions one at a time, and she always does.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration:

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
