Mozilla add for android product is now my start page when I open FF

[jd50ae]

I don't know if this is the right place for this question. My apologies if it isn't.

When I open My browser, the one I spent hours to get the way I wanted, (FireFox) it now shows an add for a Mozilla Android app.
How do I get rid of it?

I have tried tools/options/general to reset and it does me no good.

If you go to tools>options>general under startup click in Home page box and type the url of the homepage prefixed by http:// and click ok. then click on home button and it should go to the new homepage you have set.

 

[jd50ae]

done that

I have already done that.
I have put in about:bland which it has always been, click OK, close it and as soon as I open up again it
goes back to the android ad.

Is the android app still installed and do you have an internet security package susch as avast mobile installed?

try going to the page you want as your homepage and drag the url onto the home button it will give you a message about making it your homepage.

"about:bland" isn't correct ... about:blank, would be the correct word (and spelling)

about:blank Returns a blank HTML document with the media type text/html and character encoding UTF-8. This is widely used to load blank pages into browsing contexts, such as iframes within HTML, which may then be modified by scripts.

I don't even use FF it is a Bad Bad Browser

if you want a good browser without all the junk just use opera or Dolphin never had to customize ridiculous adds also should be using droid wall and Virus protection

I assumed it was a typo, one of the options to set home page on the drop down is Show a blank page, and he said he had tried that. A Guy
