My browser won't stay on commissioning, and home pages I want.
I can't get Firefox (v38.0.5 and earlier) to let my homepage and start empty page set: as soon as I closed and restart it, it comes up with a page of Yahoo! search.
I even tried to change in "subject: config", does not.
Is your start option on "when Firefox starts: display a blank page? And it keeps changing "when Firefox starts: show my Home Page" with a page that you have not selected?
These settings no doubt should not change between the time you exit Firefox and the time that you start it up again. The most common reasons they might do are:
(1) you have a file user.js in option in your settings that Firefox is discovered and using substitute your preferences on startup.
Please see section user.js our support article technical "How to fix preferences that will not save." By default, Windows hides the .js extension, so if you see a file named user with a type of JScript, which is probably the user.js file. Or to facilitate the task, set Windows to show all file extensions by following the steps in this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions.
(2) you have the privacy/security/utility software such as Advanced SystemCare that prevents unwanted changes to the settings of the browser (sometimes called protection of homepage).
Try turning off all this software until you have Firefox works correctly. Otherwise, the program will keep undo your changes.
(3) you have the malicious program or an add-on unwanted which continues to change your startup settings.
This is my procedure suggested to track down and cleaning of the bad modules. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.
(A) 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 undisclosed items bundle smoker who 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.
B 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. Do not forget that all extensions are optional; no ship 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?
(C) 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?

Every time I have to connect to my home page or open a new window, the bar of the add-on shows. I have manually "uncheck" the box to make it go away. I tried customizing and saving my home page and with the add-on bar feature disabled, but it is not unchecked.
I would like to permanently, difficulty or program or customize this feature so the bar of the add-on isn't keep appears at the bottom of the pages of my site. Thank you.
The modules bar may open automatically if you have installed the extensions that place content this toolbar.
If this is the case, then just disable extensions works if you can't move this content to another toolbar or disable it via its settings in the Options.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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

It took more than homepage on IE, google chrome, foxfire. I did everything the recovery of what I understand to fix and get off so, but as soon as I open a tab or a window or restart the back. It makes me nervous. I've even considered doing a factory reset, but I can't because it won't let me. He stops to where you need to backup and he said to all my Flash drives are not valid for data or something. Please help me. I live on my PC since I was disabled and I can't afford expensive software and stuff to fix it. There must be a way down for good.
Such programs are usually installed when you download a program from the internet and install it on your PC. They are delivered with the software installed, and you must be careful during the installation of the programs so that they do not install unwanted programs and toolbars so.
It's free to download the program below, and click on the "Browser Plugins" tab, then check if "Mysearchdail" is displayed. If so, put a "tick" in the box next to it and click the "Delete" button to remove it. If not consult the 'Programs' tab and do the same thing.

You use a bookmark?
This also occurs if you try to open this URL via the address bar or in a window in incognito mode?
You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.
Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.
You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.
It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

Today, I had a lot of trouble with my computer. I think that he was attacked by something underhanded, but I managed to stop it and fix everything. Everything about this thing.
When I open the firefox browser, it will not automatically to my home page, despite having followed all the instructions to do this. Instead, it opens in an engine search called 'awesomehp' that, previously, never heard and never installed. When I click on the 'home' - button, it goes to my real home page, and everything is ok.
I tried to uninstall it... "awesomehp" engine of research, but it ALWAYS appears automatically when I open FireFox. Why? And this is even after I have reset FireFox settings by default once.
Why this happens, and what can I do about it?
Looks like you picked up a pirate of the page. See this for help to get rid of it:

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?

Tor Browser won't let me set master password
Tor Browser won't let me set master password
Thank you FredMcD for your time and effort. I spent all morning going through the number of entries in the link you provided. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem--directly.
However...
I learned so much about all the obscure and esoteric settings available and how to handle that I was able to synthesize a solution intuitively:
- First of all, I carefully removed all traces of Tor with an advanced uninstaller.
- After reinstalling, the browser made his usual routine of Premiere and opened.
- An information bar first time upward offered access to privacy and security.
- I AGREED and unchecked the first box (disabling Private Browsing).
- The program itself given running and I was able to set my master password.
Private browsing, but also permanent Private Browsing, can be manipulated, turn it back on, then back to the convenience of the user, according to the needs of any particular situation. Note, however, that, under any form of PB, storage and use of password is removed.
Note that I did all the steps above (and many other things) throughout my diagnosis, but only AFTER I had already started using the browser (by playing and by checking the various options), which I think automatically some of my preferences of profile defined until I could do it manually. Alternatively, it could be a bad installation in the first place (questionable), or a combination of these factors. Whatever it is, it worked.
Regarding support in Mozilla, I am impressed by the volume and diversity of the information contained here, as well as the good Samaritans like you caring nature. However, almost all the documents that I have met is Firefox/Thunderbird-centric.
A search for Tor showed very little data and nothing similar to my case. By its very nature, a software like Tor would naturally by default an option like private browsing. But how many people know that it kills so the ability to use passwords? Even if the Tor Project is based on the Mozilla engine, I think that the people who run the project should be implemented their own support system or lend a hand here and may not return the ball to well-intentioned donors like you and your employees.
But in any case - problem solved, thanks to you and those who, as lend you time and advice to a complete stranger.
Now all I have to do is to find extra time to monitor these pages so that maybe, someday, I can return the favor.
