| 768156 | 2009-04-24 22:47:00 | Hi and hoping someone can help, please. A few days back Firefox updated itself to the latest version. However everytime it starts it goes to:- en-us.www.mozilla.com My home pages is set to About:blank, and has been for a number of years. I have checked under Tools, Options, main and it says, about:blank. I had this problem last time it updated and I was able to stop it by undeleting, running C Cleaner and reinstalling. I have done that and it still goes to it home page, as above. Any advise greatly appreciated. Ian.:thumbs: |

| 768158 | 2009-04-24 23:10:00 | Yer, I done that. As I've said I have used Firefox for years, so know all the settings, but I just can't stop it changing the home page on start up. If I click on the home page icon it goes to About:blank, as it should... | ianhnz (4263) | ||

Then delete its folders under C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox, C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla, and C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data. You'll have to show all files, to see the above folders. Use this the free version (http://www.glaryutilities.com/) update it then click on scan for issues. Remove whatever comes up. Then reinstall firefox |

| 768162 | 2009-04-25 00:03:00 | No probs, hope its working now :) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 768163 | 2009-04-25 00:05:00 | Yep all good. You wana try this one? www.trademe.co.nz :help: | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 768164 | 2009-04-25 00:29:00 | Ccleaner is OK, but I dont think its as thorough as Glary utilities. Thats probably why one cleaner may pick up more than another. Altho, I would be careful with some of these programs, as some can delete / remove valid entries to whatever. And can / will totally kill a system, if you delete a valid entry (if its needed) I'm not on Trademe, and I've got enough passwords to remember :p |
