I'm trying to get to my website; all it brings up is a deleted outdated webpage, NOT the current "index.html" page.
It used to act like all my other 5 or 6 webbrowsers. Now it acts strange, no matter how many times I uninstall FoxFire, and reinstall it. How do I uninstall it with NO history left behind. I've cleared all stuff from within Foxfire with no results. Help! I used to use it all the time along with other browsers to test pages out. Now foxfire will NOT show my website pages.

Sometimes the biggest problems have a simple solution. What is the web address of the page you are trying?
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.
Clear the Cache Press the <Alt Key> to bring up the tool bar. Then; Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
and
Remove Cookies Press the <Alt Key> to bring up the tool bar. Then Tools > Options > Privacy. Under History, select Firefox will Use Custom Settings. There is a button on the right side called Show Cookies.
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt Key> to bring up the tool bar. Then Tools > Options > Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
Thanks FredMcD for your info, but so far, problem is still the same only in Firefox 29... I'm using Mac, and I assume you are using PC, so I had to look around to find the items you spoke of.
I'm using the Apple Mac version of FireFox 29.0.1 on Mac OS X Version 10.9.2 on my MacBook Pro 17 laptop computer.
I have no idea how to "Start FireFox in Save Mode"...
Poking around in all the preferences, I finally found where to turn OFF "Use Hardware Acceleration". But it makes no difference. Still displays the following items in all three places, and the search results are all unrelated to the webpage I'm trying to load...
I am typing "http://www.TheRockMCC.org/index.html" into the browser; that is, "TheRockMCC.org" is my home page [in all my browsers]. Only lately has Firefox NOT display my home page.
"http://www.TheRockMCC.org/index.html" is displayed for a second or two, then it immediately displays the following in the 3 display areas...
"http://www.therockmcc.org/!_extra/itronclock/itronclock.js"l is what is displayed in the "Search" bar.
"http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.therockmcc.org%2F!_extra%2Fitronclock%2Fitronclock.js&type=576859" is what is displayed in the "Address" bar.
"Tab" displays "DNS Solution Yahoo Error ..."
I've cleared EVERYTHING -cookies, cache, all possible things that can be checked, I checked all, and cleared them multiple times, but to no avail.
the "itronclock" is no longer installed on my host server, and that whole folder has been deleted from the host server also. Why it still shows up is beyond my understanding. That whole area in webpage has been commented out, since not using it for the time being...
Is there a way to get Firefox that has NOTHING to do with Yahoo! ?
Hi again,
Firefox is now working OK! I had not commented out all of the stuff related to the now non-existent folder in the main church index.html file. But in the backup copy that is on another website, I had to completely delete that whole section dealing with that deleted folder.
Why does Firefox NOT display a webpage when there is an "error" on that webpage? All the other browsers ignore that error...
Anyways, Firefox is now displaying my home page just like it used to...
Thanks for reading, and answering. Bernard Wotton
