A new Windows 8 opp.system. It has Google all through it, I don't like google, but google is who Wildblue uses for mail. Right from the start I tried to set some short cuts to get to mail, but the google stuff already in there would intersept my efforts, so I would have to type in wildblue and thenI would get there and I'm guessing, that Firefox started automatically do the rest. Now that the igoogle start page has gone away, they are fasing it out, it is suppose to go right to my mail, instead it keeps trying to go to igoogle start page, over & over & over & ...... 

 I see now that my other tab shows that it finally got to my mail.  Will this be the norm, or will it self correct?

When you start typing in the address bar, Firefox may suggest your most frequently used site address, and show other frequently/recently used sites in a drop-down list. To get Firefox to stop suggesting a particular site, try using the down arrow key on the keyboard to go down and select it, then press the Delete key, then arrow up or down to the site you really want to clear that unwanted address from the address bar.

If you haven't already, you might want to create a bookmark for your new mail site. Not only does this provide one-click access (or two-click, if you use the menu rather than the Bookmarks Toolbar), but it helps speed access when you start typing in the address bar.

Some related help articles:

With respect to iGoogle, it's possible that going to this page is a Google setting. Two things to check:

(1) While you are logged in to your Google account, check whether you've somehow specified you want iGoogle instead of the main Google page or Gmail.

(2) Remove your Google cookies. This will clear out preferences related to Google that are stored on your computer (separate from the ones stored in your account). You can do that as follows:

First, save any pending work such as draft messages or Google Docs documents you're editing. While viewing a page on Google, try either:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Hopefully now Google will forget your previous interest in iGoogle.
