  • How do I remove programs or add-ons?

    I use Firefox as a secondary browser. I installed "Bring me Sports" by Mindspark Interactive and I want to remove it. I installed it through Firefox and it is not showing up in my start menu. I use Windows Vista and my primary browser is Internet Explorer 9.

    Programs and plug-ins are third-party software. You uninstall them from the Windows Control Panel.
    Add-ons like extensions and themes are uninstalled from Firefox.
    # To open the Add-ons Manager, press the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons, or press Ctrl+Shift+A.
    # Click Extensions on the left.
    # Click the Remove button next to the extension you want to uninstall.
    # Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.

    How do I install Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro?

    Virtual Box free, Windows 7 Home Premium System Builder SP1 $92.
    IE9 is and can be secure and work just fine and I do prefer it to others, but Firefox lets me work in Apple Community easier is all.
    Safari still bogs down trying to open multiple tabs, isn't multi-thread efficient, isn't memory efficient or well behaved - beyond the advandages of keeping code in memory it is still a memory hog. Open the same 20 tabs in any other browser is the best way I know. I also don't trust Google that much for security, I consider Google tracking and adsense to be a nuisance. Firefox gives some semblance, especially with add-ons, to tracking, cookies, privacy, and blocking content the best.

  • Can I remove internet explorer 8, after installing Foxfire

    I just installed Foxfire. I like it very much and want to keep it as my permanate browser. My question is can I remove Internet Explorer 8.
    Thanks
    Walter Spain

    No. I am not sure that IE can be totally removed from Windows XP. As I recall, it is interwoven into the XP operating system. Removing IE8 in ''Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs'' will simply back up to the previous IE version until you end up at IE6 (full of security issues). If that is the case, it is best keep IE8 on your system. If you ever need to do '''''manual updates''''' for Windows, you will need IE to do so.
    You can change your default browser to be Firefox:

  • Since installing Firefox as my default browser, and removing Internet Explorer 9,which was awful, my Homepage screen is just in the middle of my screen with very small print and empty space on each side of it. Can the be fixed?

    Three days ago I installed Internet Explorer 9 as my browser. When I tried to sign in to my email on my homepage I couldn't.
    I contacted my service provider and they said that Explorer 9 was not compatible with them as it is in Beta form and also in test mode.
    They suggested that I remove Explorer 9 and install Firefox, which I did. Then they said it was a good idea to have more than one browser at a time and to go into the Microsoft site and download Explorer 8.
    I tried this and it would not let me go back to Explorer 8 only forward to 9 which I reinstalled.
    After all of this my Homepage only fills up the middle of my screen and I have empty space on either side of the picture. When I browse, the site I go to opens up to full page, but the print is much smaller than before.
    I don't know what I installed to make my viewing so much smaller or my homepage to shrink.
    Also do I really need 2 browsers or can I just go with Firefox?
    If so, how will not having Internet Explorer affect my browsing?
    Firefox is set as my default browser and I am enjoying using it, I just wish I had my Homepage back to full screen!

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

  • How do i get internet explorer on my iMac

    how do i get internet explorer on my iMac

    If all you want  to do is use IE because some sites insists on it then what is suggested above may work, i.e, change the user agent to make the site think you are using IE.  Most browsers support that feature either directly as in Safari or with add-on/extensions.  The only things that may go wrong is some drawing or a few other things may not work properly  if the site uses some non-standard IE-only html conventions.  My opinion of that is if a web site is going to take that kind of windows-centric attitude in this day and age of multiple browsers then screw 'em.

  • Right now I'm using version 3.6 somthing, but I would love to update, but I'm nervous cause last time I did my Add ons and Ext that I use didn't work. How would I know if my add ons and exts are compatible with a new version?

    I'm using version 3.6.24 (whatever the latest update was that just took place 2 days ago for the 3.6 Version) What I would like to know is if I update to a newer version like 7 or 8, whichever is not a Beta, how will I know if my add ons and extensions will work? Last time I had updated to a newer version, non of my favorite add ons or extentions would work, so I went back to 3.6. Can you please help cause something needs to be done cause my Firefox crashes a lot when Adobe is being used.
    I also don't know if any of my add ons are crashing my computer. Either Adobe crashes or my whole computer crashes. Can someone please help me?

    you can find which addon are compatible with Firefox 8 by here

    Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on

  • How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air

    How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air

    Internet Explorer is for Windows only and could be considered to be malware
    Therefore the only options to do this are -
    Install Windows in to a virtual machine using either VMware Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox, and then you can run Internet Explorer as normal
    Or, install Internet Explorer via CodeWeavers "CrossOver Mac" - see http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=12714 however while older versions of Internet Explorer are working newer versions look like they don't work with this method.

    How can I install internet explorer on my macbook pro? Thanks!

    Install Windows 7 into a virtual machine program (IE comes with it), I suggest VirtualBox as it's free and gets updates for near forever. However VMFusion and Parallels has more features but then to drop you if you don't upgrade OS X.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Unfortunately no, you can make a change in Safari to allow it to appear to be IE to the website but if any Windows specific services (such as Active X) are needed it still won't work.
    If you absolutely must have IE you should install Windows, preferably in a Virtual Machine, like Parallels.

  • How do I get internet explorer

    How do I get internet explorer for MAC.  I am only able to access a military site for work via IE.

    IE for Mac hasn't existed since OS9 days.  I think there are some browsers that will fake their identity, telling web sites that they are IE when they are really something else.  The site may then work providing it doesn't really, really need IE.  I don't have a list in front of me but browse the web for something like browser emulation (user agent).
