How do I get rid of a sidebar that pop ups no matter what webpage I am searching?

I have a sidebar that pop up on the left hand side of my screen whenever I am on the internet. It does contains a X and will close with you press that, but reopens as soon as I click on something else. It is very annoying and gets in the way of looking at pages. I've accidentally clicked on it and it takes me to weird websites. It is not listed in my toolbars or sidebars as an option to turn off. My virus detector hasn't detected any viruses.
I have Firefox version 23 and Windows 7
I have a copy of the screenshot, but not sure how to post it in this question. Any suggestions will help.
Thank you,
Jess

Here is a image of what the sidebar looks like:

if that doesn't help, in Safari, throw away your history from the days since you had the issue. that may get rid of it. If it doesn't you may need to throw away your cookies (which isnt' any fun because it'll sign you out of any site you regularly sign into)

How do I get rid of the ads that pop up down the side of outlook

Hi There,
I would like to know how to get rid the ads that appear down the right side of Outlook. They are annoying.

Hello,
There are add-ons that will block ads for you: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Add-ons for Firefox].
Try something like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus].

How do I get rid of a box that pops up saying Account expired?

There is a pop up box that comes up on my desktop that has a red stop sign shape with a white exclamation point. It says in bold at top "Account expired" and below that "Renew subscription now to resume service". The only option is to click a button at the bottom that says "Renew Subscription", there is no button to close or minimize it. When I do click it, it goes away, but comes back again. Nothing apparently opens or happens after clicking it. If I ignore it, it multiplies and I get a whole cluster of them on my screen. I've tried restarting the computer, emptying the trash, etc. It pops up as soon as I restart it or wake it up from being asleep. My computer is a desktop running version 10.9.5 OS X.
I've tried searching the internet for a similar problem and didn't find much. Any help or insight at this point would be so helpful.
Thank you!

I think I've isolated it to the Cisco webex plugin. Have you done an online conference recently? In the finder go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and thenfind the webex plugin. Remove it and restart safari. In chrome go to chrome://plugins and disable the plugin.

How do I get rid of Yahoo sidebar?

How do I get rid of Yahoo? When Firefox starts up Yahoo is the home page and I hate it. How do I get rid of it?

Got this fixed.
I deleted Yahoo as a search engine.
To do this: on the right hand side of a toolbar there is a pull down menu which contains "manage search engines". Select this and remove "Yahoo".
BTW: the "Tools" - "Options" - "remove hardware acceleration.. " did not work.

Make a temporary backup of your library (if you don't already have a backup of it) and launch iPhoto with the Command +Option key held down and rebuild the library with options #1, 2, 3 and 6 selected.

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

If Firefox has already downloaded the 30.0 update, how do I get rid of it so that it won't upgrade Firefox when I restart my browser?

Please don't try to encourage me to use the new update. That is not what I am asking. The layout of Firefox 30 is not user friendly at all, and if I cannot continue to use 28, I will change to a different browser.
What I need to know is how can I get rid of the update that just downloaded itself without warning and permission? I have ALREADY selected in the options menu for Firefox to not check for updates. Thanks to another user's post I was able to learn how to disable this completely in the about:config menu (why can't it be done in the settings? Why doesn't Firefox listen to its users? That's a whole other problem!)
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to delete the update, that appeared against my will, so that I will not be FORCED into using version 30 next time I run my browser.

I have heard there is a bug with that version where the
update options are ignored.

How do I get rid of an app that has an automatic weekly charge

How do I get rid of an app that that I don't want that I'm being charged for automatically each week?

There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If you also want delete the app from your iPad (you will also need to stop the subscription, just deleting an app won't do that) : press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
