WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND HOURS GETTING MY COMPUTER BACK TO WHERE IT IS ACTUALLY MINE AGAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SO ARROGANT TO THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT ON MY HOME PAGE AND TOOLBAR. I AM GOING TO CHROME YOU GUYS HAVE PISSED ME OFF FOR THE LAST TIME. YOU MAKE IT HARD TO ROLLBACK TO A PREVIOUS VERSION. I WISH I COULD CALL YOU GUYS AND VENT MY ANGER OUT ON EACH ONE OF YOU ASSHOLES. FUCK YOU I HOPE FIREFOX LOSES ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Firefox and Mozilla do not change user settings. However, some installers and mal-ware can and do change things without the user knowing

If you need help, just ask.

Bookmark and use this; Download the Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
