I installed something and it changed my home page to bing AND whenever I click the button to open a new tab it goes to a site http://search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3281675&octid=CT3281675&SearchSource=15&CU Instead of the normal options for new tabs, like recent pages visited. I uninstalled the stupid entrusted add-on and I reset my home page to what I wanted, but I can't get rid of the new tab opening option to that site instead of the default. Can someone please help me fix it.

SUPPOSEDLY this issue was solved; it wasn't, not by any of the answerers. I solved it. I tried Search Reset 0.2 and found that it did NOTHING. Same problem: Every time you open a new tab, Bing opens the accursed thing (I blame Mozilla because when I installed the package I got from their site, it informed me during installation that it was optimized for Bing and I LOATHE Bing and was pissed because no non-Bing alternative was offered), NOT the default New Tab page with recently used page panes on it. I removed a disabled toolbar incompatible with this newer version of Firefox, uTorrent Community Toolbar, and Webroot toolbar (keep in mind that the Search Reset is supposed to be a No Restart Required add-on). I restarted, opened a new tab, and was gratified to see NO BING BULLCRAP.

One might argue that this was covered and closed already. Not exactly, not specifically. Generalities are NO GOOD for specific problems. I can't explain WHY this worked, because NONE of the toolbars had anything to do with Bing, and none of the toolbars in question had been active (uTorrent Community Toolbar had been removed in Control Panel> Programs & Features, yet still showed up in Firefox's toolbars list; this seems to happen with Firefox sometimes).

I don't need an answer...NOW, but I think a few others might find this works for them. For a variety of reasons, not everyone will get the same results, or even SEE this problem on their systems. I would have added this to the question that didn't satisfy me, but someone CLOSED it.

Problem started when I had a few windows open and I closed them and tried to open firefox in quick succession.

When I used to close firefox, it used to save my 800 tabs automatically, no message popped up when I closed, and when I opened firefox up again, all my tabs were there.

Now, when I close firefox, it warns me that I am closing 800 tabs. It gives me no option to save. When I open firefox back up, it doesn't let me "restore previous session," it is greyed out. However, I can go "recently closed windows" and use that to restore my session. Restarting firefox is also really slow now (I am not sure if it is closing or opening, but I suspect it is closing).

I have "show my windows and tabs from the last time" selected in options. I am not having it clear history on close. I set showQuitWarning, all options with "warnOn..." in them to true (only changed warnOnRestart), and privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions to false.

I am not shutting down my computer until this is solved. These 800 tabs are important (will be about 500 after I finish culling, was 1365 yesterday).

I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

I am a member on a ProBoards forum and have spent the past 24 hours discussing this issue with them assuming it to be fault at their end. Okay here's what happens. I have several tabs opened on my firefox browser the first one being my ProBoards writing forum. At the top of the forum I have random banners that load in. Now these banners should load in immediately and when they do, they should stay there the whole time. What is happening when I go to another tab, for say Facebook for any length of time, I am talking at least a minute or more sometimes less, when I go back to my initial tab with my forum the image at the top of the site is no longer displaying. The only way to get it to show again is to either scroll a fraction on the site, or click on another tab and back to the site again within seconds. I know it shouldn't be doing this and in fact only started last night. I have terrible OCD and this isn't helping me. Can you please give me an ansewr or at least fix the issue. ProBoards after 24 hours deem it to be a Firefox issue as I can't recreate the issue on Google Chrome but I really don't like or want to use that browser. Thanks.

Hi. Since updating to Firefox 20, I've noticed that the "Tabs" are right along the very top of the screen now, which I can't access becasue I use Dell Desktop to have my shortcuts in, which drops down in front of them. It used to be fine when it was just a little lower, but at the same time I don't want the "Menu Bar" on as it pushes them TOO low for my smaller sized screen. How can I get the back to the position they where, right below the organge "Firefox" button as apposed to the side of it without resorting to disabling Dell Desktop?

I can open & close tabs just fine, except when I try to close the final tab to close the browser & get off of the internet. This problem seems to prevent me from then turning off my computer using the Windows menu. In order to close the internet I have to turn off the power to my computer manually. When I say manually, I mean I have to turn off the power strip that it's plugged into. Then when I get back on the internet the same problem occurs. What is preventing me from closing the final tab? I never had this problem previously, now all of a sudden I have it chronically. Is there a way to fix this? Incidentally your help pages are terrible. The questions it tried to relate this question to weren't even close to the same problem.
