when I click on firefox I get a blank page powered by Ask.com why is this happening
I have had Firefox as my webpage for a long time now with no problems however just recently this page powered by Ask.com has appeared which is a blank page with 2 columns but no words. I have now had to use Google chrome to access the web which I prefer not to.My email account is not affected. Why is this happening?

Did you post this from the computer with the problem?
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder Linux:
- Ubuntu Unity {web link}
- Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
- options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to ask.com. You can reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
