Wiped out Firefox my homepage update which was a custom configuration for a site that I can't come back. Why what happened?
A Firefox update yesterday, November 22, 2016, wiped out my home page setting. The home page was a complex URL with some custom settings for a site. Why this get wiped out in the update and where can I find this setting to restore? This is unacceptable behavior for an update!
Your Firefox perform a refresh during the update? If so, you should find your old profile folder (settings) on your desktop in a folder called old data from Firefox.
If you find that the file prefs.js will have your old home page setting.
Don't double-click a .js file, because Windows will be executed as a system script. Instead, right click > edit the file to open it in Notepad or right click > open with choose a different text editor. Then find the line starting with:
user_pref ("browser.startup.homepage"
and who should have the setting you need (do not include the beginning and end "when you copy / paste to the Options of Firefox page").

I'm not sure of what has past. I don't have firefox reset or clear my history/information. My computer was in trouble the other day (had it made for many and it froze) but I don't understand how that could impact firefox I have yet all my documents on my computer. I'm more interested in recovering the information I had on my firefox, I got a lot of important Web sites and saved passwords. I would also like to know why this happened.
Thank you!

Toolbars used to have ordinary white background with black text but not I have a black background with a black writing made only to stand out a bit by a blur of white around the typography which is not enough to make it easy for me to read.
Thank you.

In older versions of Firefox, there was a small rectangular window at the bottom right of the screen which got progressively filled with green squares, that your last order has been processed. This allowed you to know that the computer had received the order and close about how it would carry out the requested task. No such window does appear in Firefox 4. That has been omitted or what I have to do something to get it back?
Click on View - Toolbars - then the module Bar, and your progress bar will be there.

I'm having a problem with my Opnegl ver 1.1, must be updated 1.3 for some reason that I can't seem to update or to locate in the profile of my hard drive... ERRRR... of suggestions?
Update your video card drivers. Bring:
1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor

When I updated the shock of the clans for my daughter on his iPad, it has its own apple ID. and iCloud, my ID apple came on his id for the update, where it has its own apple ID now. Please can someone tell me why the update came not through its ID thanks
It seems that if the application has been downloaded on his iPad while it is connected to your Apple ID. If so, he'll always want to be updated with your Apple ID.
You must remove the application from his iPad and then download it again while it is connected to its own code of Apple.

If I accidentally deleted everything that was in my trash, is there a way I can get it back? I really need to, it is VERY important! Help, please!

"Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
the unrecoverable file.So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
be very poor now.But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
expensive and may or may not work in your case.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

Update of the creative cloud app screwed me over. How can I return back photoshop 2014
I can't go back to photoshop 2014 even go through the app CC 'older versions' option like the app updated and just installed latest version only where I got off auto updates and also not to remove the old version when updating. Stop making decisions for me Adobe you bloody idiots. If you released a perfect software then it wouldn't be a problem but you seem just to serve your paying customers testing ground.
Solve this problem and tell me how can I come back I want to use the version of the software. The amount of parameters presets/brushes and settings, I had the installer is a ballache to sort again!
just after the point 1/2 towards the bottom of the page is a portal showing how to install previous versions, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/download-install-app.html

From morning to evening I tried repeatedly to connect w/Mozilla Firefox nothing helps, the question wasn't w/my computer that I was able to connect to Internet Explorer. I used Mozilla years & this is the 1st time I was not able to connect at all, sometimes it may take longer than others, but nothing like this. Today luckily I have not had any problems. I am located in Scottsdale AZ if that makes a difference & use Windows 7 starter on an ASUS eeepc 1001 netbook. Also is there a support phone number in case it happens again and am unable to access the web support?
Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.
Under Advanced, select network.
Search for configure how Firefox connects and then press the settings button.
Check the settings.Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
- Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see
Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

"Living foods" to Twitter and Facebook on a site that I use frequently have only a title but no content 'feed '. I think that this problem started 3 days ago, when Firefox has been updated. The problem is not present in using another browser and not on the phones or tablets.
One of the changes in Firefox 42 title adds a blocker follow-up in private browsing windows. That type of filtering may affect integrated features of the social site.
If you use private windows, you can disable the functionality of anti-tracking on the Options page as a test. This article contains more information on where to find this setting: the Tracking in private browsing Protection.
If the problem occurs in windows common, hmm... I think you have already tested in Firefox Safe Mode, but if not:
In Safe Mode, Firefox disables extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features to help you determine if they are at the origin of the problem.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start 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?

I just posted a question on the last update automatic 38.3.0 it is possible to log into different e-mail accounts in a profile, only the first e-mail account. My support mozilla account is linked to one of the email accounts that I can NOT connect to. Can't connect to this email account to check the issue. Your last 38.3.0 Thunderbird is useless because it is no longer possible to log in different e-mail accounts in a profile, and your support solution is useless because you need to connect to the e-mail account to check the issue.
How to proceed?You can change your email associated with your media profile.
I have 38.3.0 and I can access all my email accounts I suggest you try the initial tests:Start T-bird with disabled modules.
If it works on your module is to blame and you need to activate one by one.Start your operating system in safe mode with active network.
If it works probably your antivirus is blocking or delaying. (Or driver).
