latest updates changed my home page to pages I hate im getting fed up
Until the 2 latest updates, I liked Firefox & has never had a single problem, I was happy for the years...
Now, I'm afraid of updates & turn down them because Firefox has started to change my home page & etc, forcing me to waste configuration & restoration time settings.
Why is it you are updates to the application and governs me on im content 100% indifferent (such as the India Yahoo or MSN India)?
Do you interested to the disappointment of the user and lose our loyalty to your product formerly great?
Dear support people.
Sorry! I know that this has nothing to with you and you can not help me.
If there is a forum more appropriate, please direct me.
Note that there is a pref startup.homepage_override_url Firefox can set to display a page that Firefox has updated.
You should always have your original homepage located in tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage
If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
cbrsarahChange the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
and OK reboot.
Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Any improvement?
While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.
In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

User is unable to change the home page when I put one in default mozilla.cfg
I have this in mozilla.cfg:
Pref ("browser.startup.homepage", "http://internal.intranet.tld");That of our intranet as a default home page. But it is not locked (I don't use lockPref()), so I want to allow a user to change the home page if he wants.
But it does not work. Change the home page is not saved.
Hi ohmer, you must use defaultPref() for the parameters that users should be able to change and have full control over - pref() allows to deviate from the default for the current session...

How can I keep Tuvalo or other sites invasive to change my home page?
Why Firefox can not add a simple question opt-out or the protection password to change the home page?
«X is trying to change your homepage to X.com.» Allow? O/N.After you add that, add: "permanently block access by X.com. O/N.
Web sites do not have permission to change your home page. If you find that it is turned, consider the possibility that you have somehow an extension of thugs.
Try this:
Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or if it is clearly badware, delete).
Typically, 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.
Leaving you to restore your homepage?
Some related questions:
(1) if there is no Remove button to an extension, see the control panel. In Windows Vista and 7, the relevant dialog box is "uninstall a program". don't know how it's called point 8.1 of Windows. By clicking on the column heading "installed on" sort by date and unmask possible grouped items that you did not know were being installed. Remove all the nonsense that you can. (If you find something named research protect or BrowserSafeguard, remove it.)
(2) software from third parties can create a file named user.js that Firefox reads at startup and which will replace the saved settings from your previous session. This article describes how to track down and remove this file if you have one: How to fix preferences that will not save.
(3) some utilities such as Advanced SystemCare have a feature to restore your settings changes, allowing lock unwanted parameters. Them is called surf Protection. If you have this or a similar Protection setting (etc.) of the home page that prevents you from making the changes you want, turn off temporarily (or permanently).
(4) in order to mop up unwanted software, try the scanners of other Firefox users have found useful in this article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.
I hope that it will control.

I get on the Internet with Firefox, and someone changes my home page of this web site of conduit. I think it's a search engine. In any case, I change back to Yahoo as I want, and they change it right back. I spent the last two nights my antivirus running and try to change my passwords and all that fun jazz and it still happens. Can you do stop, please? I'm tired of resetting my Firefox so that I get rid of this problem too. It's a recurring problem. This is officially the third time, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to get rid of this problem, and I'm tired of it.
The Conduit Plugin and associated preferences changes become installed by themselves, the user is involved due to the installation of the extensions of 'shit' or other garbage programs. You must be more careful when they decide which modules or programs you install.
For correct Firefox the first thing to do is remove this extension has entrusted the toolbar through the Add-ons Manager Extensions tab.
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/remove-toolbar-has-taken-over-your-Firefox-searchThen install the extension search Reset - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Then fix everything: newtab - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off - preference and instead of double-click that preference, right-click this pref and select ' Reset. "

It seems that you might have downloaded some malware or adware. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to get rid of him. In the future, avoid the following types of sites to prevent it happening again:
- XXX sites
- torrent sites
- Group download sites (CNET, Softonic, download (dot) com, MacUpdate, etc..)
- MP3 download sites (Mp3 Skull, mp3monkey, etc.)
- No matter what website says you can do or download something for free you know otherwise you would cost money

I want to change the browser home page to be google... How can I do this?
It just won't let me.

Hi urumilton,
Turns out that ATT had me on their business plan and not the personal (with tethering the phone and the whole software Setup was weird - including the browser... that didn't go to page net media (don't ' don't ask me how).)
Send them a maintenance book and now it works - oddly enough!

I work in a company of about 250 people, of which most have laptops. Boss wants to know how people plusieurs/who take home systems or their use for other sites (on the road, etc.). However, he wants to spring for the tracking software.
I asked a solution to the system service tag in the Navigator platform in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Settings\5.0\User Microsoft Platform) and then change the home page of our site of the company (via GP) so whenever a user opens the browser, it will automatically connect to our page and we can read the serial number in the web logs. Easy, isn't it?
Unfortunately, we are not having much luck for a few reasons, mainly political. users are not forced or locked up in our site as their homepage and I am not allowed to do so.Y at - it somehow I can make a change in the registry in my computers from the company who would say systems to shoot silently a gif or even a non-existent file, so all our machines will be reaching out to our Web site (even in silent mode) and can be connected from anywhere where they are connecting from?
Could you have a startup program that browser history log copy in a hidden folder, which could be consulted when they connect website or during maintenance of Windows?
I don't think you could tell the boss to read Dilbert and try not to be as the boss pointed cabbage. :-)

I can't open Firefox. Home page comes up, I get just the reporter Crash asking me to restart/quit but every time I do the same message always comes back. I was not able to use Firefox for days now.
In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.
You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop
You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.
http://www.Trusteer.com/support/en/report-problemIf you do not report, so we have a crash report ID. When you send a report of the Mozilla crash puts it right in a gigantic database. We have no way to seek without the ID of the report. I don't know what the problem is without searching the crash report. Please get the ID of your last report of the accident report.
