Why can I get to my home page (http:\\my.msn.com) on IE9 but suddenly not on Firefox?
My home page is from MSN (http:\\my.msn.com). When I try to access it on Firefox (which I greatly prefer to IE9), I am taken to a generic MSN homepage. However, if i use IE9 (which I still have on my computer) I can get to my home page. I've seen some messages that say MSN is down right now, but how can it be down for one browser and not another?

Sometimes, when you install programs on your system, they change your settings.
======================
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type about:Config.
If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter browser.newtab.url
and press enter. browser.newtab.url
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select Modify. You can change the
setting to;
about:home (Firefox default home page),
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),
about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page you want.
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
browser.startup.homepage.

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.
