• my homepage is set to google, but it shows up as a yahoo avg search engine. How can I fix it?

  my homepage is stuck on a yahoo avg search engine.

  Hello

  You can change your homepage settings:

  • Tools (or the menu button

    

    ) > Options > general

  You can also change your search preferences by changing the provider search engine to your search bar - what will change the home page search bar and the search engine used in your address bar when you enter a query instead of a web address. On the default interface, the search bar is the bar to the right of the address bar, just click on the logo on the left side of this bar to open a drop-down list of search engines and change to whatever you want.

  If those who do not change your home page, go to:

  • Tools (or the menu button

    

    ) > Addons > Extensions

  And remove the AVG bar tools/all other extensions that you don't want. If you want to reset all default settings, your search preferences, you can install the extension search reset reset your preferences and then uninstall itself.

  If you restart Firefox, and you find that your settings changed to AVG, you have a software that prevents your preferences to change. See the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

• When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search.

  When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search. How can I change this?

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  When you change the search engine using the icon beside the search bar, which should "stick". Don't you think that it changes randomly, or the next time you exit and restart Firefox or notice any other model?

  For problems that occur when quit them and restart Firefox, see:

  • How to fix preferences that will not save
  • Consider if use you any utility or security software (e.g. Advanced SystemCare) who have a function like "Surf Protection", "Protection of the Home Page", etc.. These features can undo changes to your browser settings to protect you against unwanted changes - and yourself. Not always useful...

• Search engine default change to Google won't go away.

  Search engine default change to Google won't go away even after changing all default values Google search. It's bugging me.

  If get you rid of the blue bar, Google sets a cookie to remind itself does not show it again. If you block or erase cookies from Google, the site continues to display the bar.

  You can use a custom style rule to hide. Some people use Adblock Plus or an addition of related. Here's an old NET with suggestions: How can I remove the 'Get to Google faster. Switch bar you have by default search enging to Google"at the top of Firefox?

• How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?

  Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.

  So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page

  How can I stop this now and forever?

  I look forward to your solution.

  Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.

  You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

  • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
  • the default homepage is Subject: Home
  • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

  The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• When opening a new tab, there is a search screen of Yahoo showing rather than a blank tab and I want to stop it, how do I do this? Thank you

  somewhere on the update, I got a yahoo toolbar, I did not like. Tasks was to bring up a search box and yahoo news, when you open a new tab each time. I was not able to uninstall it or turn it off, no idea where to start. When you open the new tab, it starts to 'click,w3i.com'and then "search.yahoo.com" and has some research trends and the latest news, my network is slow with waiting for all these things happen. No idea how to eliminate it or turn it off. It is not listed in the toolbars or options or modules or plugins or anything. Here are the two links of that tab through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

  A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).

  If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

• I use google search. When I click on a suggestion contained in the results tab of the search, I want it to open in a new tab and keep the search results in the original tab. How?

  For example, when I enter the search term "cabinets" and get a page/tab search results with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and open the Sears page in a new tab/page. I want to be able to close the tab to Sears and use the search results tab.

  Google offers a framework for this. What it does, it adds a HTML (target = "blank") statement to every result link, which causes Firefox to open in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows in new tabs, Firefox will then open the result in a new separate window.

  This preference is stored in a cookie, if you clear your Google cookies often, so you'll need to reset every time. You can do so here:

  https://www.Google.com/preferences

  (On this page, Google refers to a new window.)

• When I start a new tab, a "Yahoo" search field appears. How can I get rid of this nuisance...?

  The details are that you listed to them.

  Try to reset default preferences with the SearchReset extension:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

  If there is a problem with the search through the default value: home page and then try to reset the search engine used on the subject: homepage.

  Reset the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone through the context menu by default on the topic: config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the on: default home page.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config
  1. Open the topic: config page through the address bar
  2. Type in the filter bar: mstone
  3. Right-click on the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line, and then select: Reset
  4. Close and restart Firefox

  If this did not help, then remove the button Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and repeat the foregoing.

• Somehow my search engine has been changed to yahoo from google, and now I can't get google search to stay as search engine, how can I solve this?

  I don't know how it happened, but can not get google search to stay as my search engine. I use the version the most recent Firefox is here. I deleted all the other search engines, but it always goes back to yahoo. Not like yahoo, I want my back lol, google. Please tell me how to solve this problem, thank you.

  Unwanted modules can take control of your settings in Firefox (search engine, home page, the new tab page) and make it impossible for you to fight them. Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. 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 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.

  (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. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  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) 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?
