When I opened Firefox, I was taken to the Firefox Home Page and all the bookmarks, history, etc. disappeared? What happened and can I retrieve lost, history, Favorites etc.? How to make
It seems that Firefox and all content have been deleted and then it has been reinstalled Firefox as a completely new program. My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Google Chrom) have not changed.
Everything was OK when I closed down Firefox last night about 11 pm and I left the computer on.
Glad to see his work...

How can I get rid of all that have hijacked my homepage in Firefox 12 and replaced by a login page "Bank of America"? I have reset my home page in Options, but it does not help. I suspect that there is an entry of thugs in my Windows Vista registry. I tried to get rid of it with several antivirus programs, including MS Security Essentials, Avast, Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes, but none removed the offending attacker. Help would be appreciated.

The two toolbars have uninstall instructions in their help on the toolbars section. I pasted in the section of troubleshooting below. When I try to find these programs in the menu START, in my settings or in the "Add/Remove Program" section of my control panel, they aren't there. The two toolbars have pre-eminence over gmail, which is my favorite of the navigation toolbar, etc. So even if I can do what I do, I have to firstly my way through the face of Pogo page and then the intrusion of louts on the websites to spawn. Why can't I get rid of these two toolbars? I never intentionally asked for them and I still don't know how they were allowed to be there, but it is clear that I must have done.
Go to: view > toolbars to see if they are there. If they are, you can uncheck the.

How can I change the home page that appears when I open Firefox?
I just had to reinstall a program that was damaged, and somehow the process changed my Firefox home page. Not only is the new not what I want, when I try to open Firefox I get a notification of WOT that the new page is dangerous.
I'm a Firefox window. I would use it to change my default home page to the one I had, but I can't find how to do this.

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 did my browser Bing and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message: Ref, then a long string of characters. I click on the Home icon and string changes. After doing this several times, I get the Bing search page. I don't get the startup of Firefox bookmark with the toolbar that has my book, history etc.. I can't clear the cache, if I can't the history tab. If I'm going to the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there are a tool bar but can't erase recent history, etc. it. I don't have an administrator and a password on my home desktop. It's just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I don't really know if it is a firefox problem or bing. I've used google before bing and had no problems; I just wanted to try bing.

Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot.
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).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

There are / were three problems:
1. why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the most recent when version help > on Firefox said I do?
2 also, with version 8 of xx, I was unable to open a new window with a right-click, until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I'm curious).
3 when I tried to uninstall the old version of the uninstall program told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.1. you are using the latest version which is Firefox version 9.0.1
From your description, it seems that if you still have the old start page for Firefox http://www.google.com/firefox hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default home page is no longer used as topic: Home is in use since Firefox 4.0
Ignore the message, change the homepage of topic: Home, replace it with another page or leave blank.

I keep my Firefox constantly updated, but in recent weeks Gmail has been telling me that I use an older version that she can't stand even though I have the updated version. I was warned that Firefox could be updated to the latest version, I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to upgrade to the latest version that I had already done. How can I fix?
Having both versions is a possibility. The other is that the user agent is stuck to the old version of Firefox 3.5.3 due to some extension.
Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
You can open the topic: config page through the address (address) bar just like you open a Web site.Filter: general.useragent
If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.
We could probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent as the extension toolbar to Fast Browser Search added at some point and therefore the uptight version of Firefox. This problem has been resolved from Firefox 4.0.

Type of topic: preferences #general< enter > in the address bar.

view. Many of us choose view my homepage.- Homepage
When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.
