Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

I found that after Firefox v29, and v30, a LOT of my settings and add-ons were changed / reset. Try this; Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then check ALL of your settings; Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.

OPIE {web link} Import/Export extension preferences

Normally, an update does not change your home page...

What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.

I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:

Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:

  • Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
  • Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
  • Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
  • Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?

With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.

I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?
