How do I stop the Firefox pop ups on the Firefox 4 homepage, now?
I uploaded the new Firefox 4. My default page now just appears with non-stop pop-ups that ask me to be sent to various places to learn stuff. There seems to be no way to get rid of them. I will stop using Firefox altogether if I cannot.
Here is a sample of text within the box. There are embedded links that take me to the site if I click. If this one does not pop up another one does. They seem endless. I don't want them.
Take Firefox 4 anywhere you go! Firefox 4 for Android and Maemo is live and ready for you to enjoy. Get it now.
I do not want it or anything else now! I just want a home page without demands. How do I get rid of these pop up boxes. Or should I just go to explorer. By the way, I went through the procedures to stop Firefox pop ups and it had no effect whatsoever and was unclear about how to fix the problem.
Help! Thanks

buddy, obviously you got some attack from bad websites. 1st, stop browse those sites. 2nd, re-set your firefox homepage through, firefox main window -> tools -> options -> general settings tab, change the mainpage settings to about:blank and, if you firefox go panic, try to use this start firefox, 1st, start menu of windows, then choose "run", type in this, "firefox -safe-mode" without the quotation marks, to start firefox 4.good luck, buddy, and don't go to those bad websites again.
if this don't help, buddy, it is not firefox problem, it is your windows, do some antivirus, or reinstall your windows.

What the hell are you talking about? I have the same problem and this has nothing to do with malware or bad websites. I just upgraded to firefox 4, and everytime I reload google home page (house icon), mozilla posts and displays a stupid advertising message right below the google search bar (incorporated into google code page display). Message such as "Take Firefox 4 anywhere you go! Firefox 4 for Android and Maemo is live and ready for you to enjoy. Get it now - you like firefox 4? learn more etc...". Refresh google.com on f4 and you'll see them too. I don't know how you browse but you must have less sophisticated habits.
This can get very aggravating for people that use very often the refresh icon in order to refresh or launch a new search, which makes more sense for me for a few reasons:
I like to be looking at the center point of my screen and not on the little Google window on the top right. I'm not looking INTO my screen's corners. But INTO my screen.
I very often refresh, almost in between every page since I do rarely navigates from one page to another, but usually launch my own search.
I do a lot of searches. Image... text.. articles. Mostly worked-based.
I have this habit and I am not going to drop it.
Anyway.. Please drop the condescending "buddy" every two lines, and be assured that it is a Firefox problem. I have the same problem as drmiller333.
Does anyone have found a way to stop this? Does it stops after a few days? I just downgraded back to firefox 3.6. I would like to benefit the new engine and updates coming with f4 but I won't as long as Mozilla keeps posting those aggravating messages. I don't give a f... about "android, maemo" or "how to learn more about how awesome is mozilla".
I may move to chrome is they don't do something for it.
this is f.. retarded by the way. I'm very disappointed in mozilla.
Mozilla is retarded?
If you had looked at the address of the new Firefox 4 homepage, you would have seen that it is about:home, not http://www.google.com/firefox as with previous versions of Firefox.
AND you would have realized that Web Images Videos Maps News Shopping more and Sign in was missing from the top of that "local page".
I am having this same problem and so far none of the above info has helped me. inf fact I cant understand much of what the he-l you are talking about.If this does not stop I am going to drop firefox altogether! i want to look at stuff witrh nice pics and these stupid pop ups keep interfearing with whatever I am viewing! I hate this crap!
