I booted up my laptop and go to mozilla and ask.com comes up. All my pages from the last session are gone and I cannot get mozilla to come up at all unless I search it on ask.. I want to know why this happened and if there was a change on your end I need to know and I will remove the program. I HATE ask and will not use this at all..

That does not make sense. Ask is a search engine, not a browser. I think your problem is with the homepage.

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.

There are two settings;

  • When Firefox Starts

When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.

  • Home Page

When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.

  1. Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
  2. Use Bookmark
  3. Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.

You can use any of these that you wish;

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 or about: page you want.

I made sure mozilla was set to the default browser, I right clicked on the mozilla icon and the ask home page came up..
