Out of the blue, Firefox keeps forgetting my settings Options, and I see the home page every time. Profile Manager IS used.

For the last three days, Firefox opens as if for the first time - forget all setting Options I record every time. It is a waste of my time and money. It worked properly for years.

This indicates a problem with the file that stores the preferences, for details, see How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • A person continues to change my home page every time I'm on the Internet, how can I do so they cannot do more?

    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.

    Then 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. "

  • Firefox automatically opens the addon page every time you start

    I knew the App market/flue virus on my computer, so I got rid of him--or so it seems. Now every time I turn on or restart your computer, Firefox opens automatically, about: newaddon? ID = {64d64833-9296-421b-a362-83cfbd6291b6}, and the name of the addon shows empty; a few seconds later it closes automatically. I knew that this url has to do with the App market. But when I open Firefox, once again, it is as if nothing happened. Wherever it happened, there is no accident report on this point, despite the many times. I tried to scan my computer several times thereafter with no luck. There is no user.js file, and I deleted all of the extension and a driving-related program.

    I found the solution! It turns out that my computer put adware so she would go to Firefox at startup. Now, when you go to your normal Windows startup entry things, it is said that Firefox, nothing else.

    Then, I installed CCleaner and looked at startup entries there. In the Firefox section not only was it the program, but also the URL it redirects me. I deleted it, restarted, and it worked!

    Now, for what is BackgroundContainer.dll... ^^;

    I downloaded CCleaner from a site named Bleeping Computer. I think my mistake was CNET Download, which is a shame, because I always thought that the site was honorable and trustworthy. But don't be fooled... MyWOT.com said CNET's is more than sure. Bleeping Computer, however, is much safer and confidence. Actual

    Officejet L7680 all in one worked years on Vista, today moved to new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, HP technical support me just buy a new product.

    ericelectrician, I would like firstly to uninstall the printer from the computer entirely. First unplug the USB cord (if one is used). Then make sure that all related files or programs are completely deleted or removed from programs and features, devices and printers and Device Manager. Then, restart the computer.

    Do not connect the USB cable until the software asks.

    Then go to http://goo.gl/lnSmX and find your appropriate drivers and software for your particular printer model. They are all available as free downloads. You will want to use the "Full Feature" of the software version.

    I would like to know how it goes!

  • How can I get the search bar on the home page of Firefox to stop mirroring of what is in the search toolbar?

    This seems to be something new, but I usually use the built in the toolbar to search at the top right of my Firefox window to search eBay and I usually go to the Firefox default Home/Start for searches on Google page. Now, it seems that whenever I try to search from the home/start page, I get the results of any search engine is specified in the top search bar. So if toolbar is set to 'eBay' and I search something on the homepage, only eBay results appear.
    I don't want to do. I want that the Google search home page every time, no matter what is on my search toolbar. It's really annoying to have to go to the search bar engine resume Google and then my search. I often open new tabs quickly find something relevant to what I'm working on because it requires less effort to hit Ctrl + T to open a new tab that is already on the cover with my cursor in the search field, than using the toolbar where I have to take my hands on the keyboard to use the mouse. How can I fix it. This "improvement" sucks.

    I forgot an obvious solution to this problem. I just changed my homepage of "www.google.com" rather than use the default Firefox homepage. In hindsight, it makes little sense to use the default Firefox homepage as an intermediary to Google anyway.

  • I want Firefox to open my iGoogle page every time I open Firefox. How do I do that?

    Firefox allows to open with my iGoogle homepage, when I opened it upward. I created my homepage, and that's what I want, when I open it. Suddenly, he started opening with the last page, I was in a previous session. When I noticed it, I made sure to close all pages that has been opened until I signed up on Firefox. Yet, it will open with the last page of the previous session.

    All I want is for Firefox open my page iGoogle as my home page, every time when I go online with Firefox. How do I do that? I think I checked any box that I didn't intend, but I can't find what it is. Is that what I'm doing through Google? If so, sorry, but it's boring and waste a lot of my time to find how to make my life "easier.".

    Follow these steps.

    • Go to the site you want to set as your home page.
    • Click on the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General.
    • Make sure that it says in the first drop 'show my home page'.
    • Click on the button called "use current Pages' to set the home page to the one you have on the screen.

  • Police that says "HOME" (for the Home Page) will not match rest of fonts on the site

    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?

    This is what he said in the code, but then, it's the same message that I have on all other pages, except that they have the correct font. The page that I have a problem with does not work.

    < 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.

  • How can I get rid of the Orange Fox in the middle of the page every time I have pull up of Firefox. Very annoying.

    I pull up to Firefox and jumping me out of my socks by a huge orange Fox. I hate this. I want just one page to pull up that has a search engine in the middle of the page, so I can start surfing. The Fox is attention grabbing and boring.

    To do this, the easiest method is to simply change your homepage. If you change this https://www.google.com/ or your local variation, you will get a search box of Google, no messages of Mozilla.

    Menu (top-right) > Preferences (gear icon)... In the tab "General" just change the address of the 'Home Page'.

    If you do not know what is the right address, open Google and then simply click "Page current use."

    Tip: you can actually set multiple tabs open as your 'Home Page '. So if you Google open research, and your box to the letters or facebook in a second tab, you can define who has your 'Home Page' and all 3 tabs will automatically open when you start Firefox. Neat.

  • Firefox makes me redownload the game flash every time

    The problem is probably with the cache.
    If I clear it, for a while, everything works fine, but after awhile, when the cache stored on my pc has reached a certain amount (near maximum), this problem reoccur.

    Each time compensation and redownloading all are honestly really boring.

    Is there a way to make Firefox delete cache longer than a certain amount of time on its own and keep more recent only? Honestly, I use Firefox to play 2 games only, and for some reason, the cache continues to grow even if I do the same thing every time and I find it weird. They are the Japanese Flash games and doesn't seem to work that well on Chrome and I don't use IE if I only use Firefox for these 2 games... I think that how the Firefox cache works is weird...

    I know how to set correctly in homepage. I'm an experienced user. My problem is when I start Firefox 20.0.1 it always starts two tabs. The first is the correct home page. The second is a blank tab switching to. I want only the first tab that is the home page. How to stop the second tab to open. The homepage is defined only with a URL and is correct.

  • cannot set the home page to about: blank, it keeps loading google search page

    After trying a small utility, I'm stuck with the toolbar of Babylon and the home page... Yes... I place the small checkpoint to disable installation...
    No problem, I managed to remove all that...
    But since then I can not get my homepage to stay together about: blank... it continues from the Google search page. I managed to link the homepage about button: empty, but when I add a new page (by clicking on the + sign next to the tab on the right most) I get the Google search page...
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello l.j.claessen, please perform the following steps - they must remove the remaining bits of Babylon:

    • Go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this window look out for a file named user.js, delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards. This will get rid of the file which is crushing your custom setting homepage.
