I have used absolutley every instruction for restoring iGoogle which disappeared yesterday. It can be loaded on my android phone so I know it still exists however, it will not restore as my home page on desktop. I tried being signed in to Google and being signed out. I type http://www.google.com/ig into home page in Firefox options and it goes back to Google Classic. If I type http://www.google.com/ig into browser I get classic.

wightgal, are you saying that everything is working okay now for you? If not, I'd suggest that you download Firefox from http://www.firefox.com and reinstall to make sure you have a trusted installation.

If everything is okay on the other hand, could you come into the forum and mark my previous post as the solution? Thanks!

Hi there,

That's a really odd behavior. iGoogle shows up just fine for me, but it is supposed to be shut down on November 1st by Google.

Maybe you have an Add-on installed that redirects you to the standard Google page whenever you type google.com in the address field. Unfortunately there are some rather nasty add-ons that might try that.

You can either have a look into the add-ons list and disable any add-on that might do that, or you can simply reset Firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

It worked but not without oddity. When I clicked on Finish the re set I got a warning that mozillafirefox was not trusted. I took exception and I Google loaded without my mail, calendar and task list showing and with a warning that google.com wasn't trusted. I re booted and all is there. So either I made a big mistake or there is a hiccup.
