OS X :: Why Browsers Redirecting Back To Hotmail
Jun 12, 2009
So here is the deal, I am a Facebook addict. I log in more than I should. Lately I have been trying to log in, but the browser (Firefox) redirects me back to Hotmail. This also happened with me and Adium, and I used Safari to browse the Adium site. The Xtras link redirected me back to Windows Live login screen. I have ran scans with Onyx, and iAntivirus, and they have found nothing wrong. Could it be bugs from the browser's end? Or did my machine (late 2007 blackbook) be infected with something. (No I did not use the word Virus) This is really starting to get aggravating. I asked someone from Adium, and he said I may have downloaded malware, or a virus, which I highly find doubtful.

How do I revert back to hotmail classic? It used to have an option. I don't know how I screwed this up again.

I upgraded to Yosemite very recently. Am noticing that ALL my browsers are NOT displaying page titles at the very top of the browser window. I've checked settings in each of the browsers I use (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) and have not found a setting to bring page titles back.

I was wondering if in Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.6) If there is a way to redirect web addresses. My Wife and I's anniversary is coming up. and I wanted to redirect an everyday site she goes to (say, Facebook) to a custom address (to a page saying how glad I am to be married to her, love her etc.)
If I could preferably write a script and schedule it with chron that would be awesome. (so that the redirecting starts during the day when I'm away at work, and then a few hours later it can switch back)

For some reason every time I go on Google and do a search it redirects me. Even if it takes me where I want to go when I close the window there is usually another page or two open that I never launched. I am using Safari.

I have Roadrunner through Bright House Networks, and every now and then, my Macbook won't be able to load a webpage (completely random, both the time and the page itself). I thought this was just an issue with Bright House's DNS servers, so I set up OpenDNS. The issues persist. This also seems to be happening on another MBP in the house. When I boot into Windows via Boot Camp, everything works just fine.

I was browsing on Twitter.com, and when I tried to follow someone there, it redirected me to Facebook.com. Now, whenever I type in twitter.com in Safari or Firefox I'm immediately redirected to facebook.com. In fact, twitter is being replaced by facebook in the url, so that if I type www.twitter.com/someone I get redirected to www.facebook.com/someone.

Just bought a new used macbook and when I open google in Safari it redirects me to another random site. Not sure what is going on here. But after I search, and click a link which I searched, thats when it re-directs me. in a new window, but I noticed if I close that window and click the same link, it takes me to the correct site, most of the time?

I have a MAC OS LION and our lawyer uses the font "Garamond". Unfortunately the version which is in my mac does not support some of the "Czech-special characters". How do I make my Mac or Office Word use Arial instead of Garamond so I can read it correctly?

My Macbook is brand new but I have been having some trouble with the keyboard. Out of nowhere it seemed the keyboard started to act up. There is something wrong with both the "a" key and the delete button. They aren't working. They continuously redirect my initial strokes and cause my computer to be unresponsive. Some other icon always comes up instead of n "a" or the material being deleted. I did notice that I have that stupid Universal Access thing BUT I had gone ahead and turned off sticky and slow keys.

I have tried 3 of them. Firefox, Flock and Safari. All seem to crash after 3 minutes or so but can last up to 10. It started happening when i was watching some videos on Youtube and then when i went to go and watch another it wouldnt load it up. And since then i have came across this problem. I tried phoning Apple but at �35 just to fix this seems a bit steep. does anyone have any ideas?

Just curious how many Browsers do you have downloaded, and list them In order of usage. I recently switched to Firefox 3.5 to be my default from Safari 4. So I'm only using two, but probably will try Opera and looking forward to Chrome when it comes out.

Still getting to grips with the change from Windows to Mac. All the years I was on Windows. I have used MSN and Hotmail all my friends use it and has been the norm, now on Mac I read MSN is not that great. Ok a lot of the posts I've read are pretty old but most seem to recommend Adium. I see you can get a beta version on MSN 8 for mac which includes webcam and audio chat, but full of bugs still? As for hotmail, what's the best way to run it through OS X mail? for example izymail?

All three of my browsers (Opera 10.10, Firefox 3.5.6, Safari 4.0.4) crash repeatedly when accessing www.nytimes.com (most common site). I am running OSX 10.5.8 on an iMAC G4 with 768MB RAM. I ran Onyx and repaired the permissions but to no avail. Other websites have failed but the nytimes site causes instantaneous failure.

I'm very new to the MAC scene. I have only had my iMAC for a bit over a month. I'm fairly comfortable with using it as it's much like a PC in many ways. I do have one issue though, I do not know if you can open several Browsers at the same time like you can do in the Windows environment. I know I can use the alternate search panel at the top right but I have to use the back arrow to return to the previous panel. Must be a way, I'm just not finding it and maybe a bit dull at this point..

I searched for this, but I have not been able to find any solution to the issue of Flash freezing browsers on Leopard. A number of people seem to be having this issue with Flash 10.
I have a MacBook with 10.5.6 and all updates, and the latest flash from Adobe.
Using Safari or Firefox, I am unable to display sites with flash. For example, when going to [URL] the page begins to load, and hangs at the end, with a spinning cursor. Only option is to force quit.
Deleting flash allows the page to display, but obviously w/o flash.
Reinstalling flash (version 9 or 10), brings back the freeze.
Other machines I have (MBP) with the same software, work fine.
Creating a new user has the same issue.
Restart, and Repairing permissions has no effect...
Everything was working fine last night, and nothing significant has changed since then.

Neither Safari (v4) nor Firefox can connect to the internet. However, my internet connection is fine, and iTunes is currently downloading a video podcast no problem, in fact I can see under Activity Monitor that it's downloading at 110KB/sec, which is blazing fast for where I live (Indonesia). I can also get email no problem. And the other weird thing, is that I can use Safari for Windows no problem on my Windows side (through Parallels), which I'm using right now.
I did recently update to Safari 4, but up to now I've had no problems. And the fact that I can't use Firefox either leads me to believe it's not just a Safari problem. The only thing I can think is my ISP has recently been updating their system, and I have had some issues recently connecting, but right now my internet connection is otherwise great. Does this have something to do with DNS servers or something? Why can I use Windows browsers on my Mac no problem (through Parallels on Windows XP) but not Apple browsers? I'm on OS 10.5.7 FYI.

For the past week or two my internet browsers (safari and firefox) have been acting very strange. They are both constantly freezing (spinning wheel), which I can live with, but the worst part is that they both seem to be losing their internet connection all the time. I don't use safari a lot, but I use firefox every day. If I completely close the program (so, Quit Firefox) and then open it again it works fine for a couple of pages but then it starts just loading forever without something actually happening. If I close it, again it's fine for a couple of pages. This all started happening after I downloaded Hotspot Shield and Freedur, both of which I uninstalled within an hour of installing. I can't find any residuals of these program. In Firefox my search history has also been almost completely deleted and for some reason the suggestions in Google and Youtube have been turned off. I don't have any extra add-ons or plug-ins.

All of my browsers, Safari 4.05, Chrome 5.0.375 and Mailplane, freeze upon going to certain sites or when I check my mail. Like, when I go on Youtube, it would freeze on the huge banner ad, yet when I'm linked to a video and go to it, it doesn't freeze and the video plays back fine. Email doesn't work either, both GMail and Yahoo Mail. And it doesn't work on my mail application Mailplane. And sites like [URL] both freeze up.
