I have set my home page but the "drag this icon to the home symbol to set your home page" box will NOT go away each time I use Firefox. How can I get rid of it now that I've done what it wanted?

This little box near the top right started showing up recently, and after a few times I realized I did want to change my home page to my most frequently used web page, so I followed the instructions and it works, but that @W#$ popup box continues to show up each and every time I start, every time I log out of the web page, and so on. Since I've fulfilled its requirements, I'd like to get it to STAY GONE and not get in my way.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    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 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?

  • How can I get rid of promotional ads that are preventing me from expanding my email folders?

    Today for the first time, I am getting two promotion ads that regularly change, on the left side of my screen when I am in email, right where my expanded folders normally appear. I tried "expand" and just get a tiny line at the top of these ads with one or two expanded folders named. How can I get rid of these promotion ads?

  • Somehow I have AcronisMigrateEasy on my Mac - it causes Safari to crash several times a day.  How do I get rid  of it?  Or, does it do anything I want?

    Somehow I have AcronisMigrateEasy on my Mac (I do not remember installing it - it causes Safari to crash several times a day (I get a message blaming the crash on this plugin).  How do I get rid  of it?  Or, does it do anything I want?

    There are three popular methods of uninstalling apps on a Mac.
    Contact the developer and see if they have an uninstall routine. You can also look in the Apps folder to see if that app has it's own folder and look in the folder for something that will uninstall it.
    Drag the app to the trash
    Use a utility such as AppCleaner.

  • How can I get rid of McAfee SiteAdvisor that has installed itself on my Firefox browser screen?

    An uninvited McAfee message flashed up on my screen when I was on the net and I mistakenly clicked a button that installed the McAfee SiteAdvisor on my browser screen. I have tried to uninstall the McAfee program and to delete the files that McAfee has stored on my computer, but when I try to delete those files a box comes up saying that they cannot be deleted because they are either write protected or in use by another program.
    I do not want to have to read a McAfee SiteAdvisor bright green notice on the bottom corner of my computer screen every time I use Firefox. Does anyone know how to get rid of the files McAfee has stored on my computer? Thank you.

    I used to have McAfee site advisor on one machine last year. I do not remember major problems un-installing it presumably it uninstalled easily from the Windows XP control panel -> remove programs.
    I also seem to recall it created a long list of files possibly totalling in the GB range of memory use, if I remember correctly I had no problems in removing them.
    If you have McAfee security products on your computer you may need to be careful about what is uninstalled.

  • A square with numbers stay on screen and in a document using Firefox, how do I get rid of those? THANKS

    "A fresh ramp up on your bottom line is establishing an online business from home11, easy to start,..."
    Have a look on the second line ''"business from ''home11''
    This is actually a link to a website and an extract form an article I wrote. No matter what I do can I get rid of that ....11 after home. On my website http://www.WomensOnlineBusiness.com/five-fundamental-steps.html on the left sidebar buttons I have the same problem and a lot of other places. Weirdly enough not on the home page, but on all the other pages where I have the sidebuttons.
    I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of these numbers - think-just guessing- it has something to do with the add-ons but in that case don't know which one.
    If anybody can help me out here that would be great, as I like Firefox a lot and would hate to leave it.
    Hoping for the best

    I can't make out from your low-res screenshot what those gray images in the menu at the left are, but I do not see them and there is nothing int the page source that accounts for them.

  • How can I get rid of negative numbers that is showing as my wifi icon

    My iphone 4 is jail broken . randomly now my wifi icon is showing negative numbers

    This may not have been done by jailbreaking, you can also do this from field mode which is perfectly legit from Apple's point of view.
    Dial *3001#12345#*
    1. Your iPhone is now in the Field Test mode. Do you see a signal strength value on the upper left hand corner? You can still switch to the old strength bars instead of the number value, by taping on it.  You can revert to the bars any time by closing the app by pressing the home button. If you want to have the number indicator permanently (which is again reversible to bars), proceed to step 2.
    2. Hold on to the power button until you see the bar that says ‘slide to power off’. Here, do NOT power off your iPhone.
    3. Now press the home button again until the app is exited and you’re on to the home screen.
    4. To revert to the original signal strength representation, dial *3001#12345#* and press ‘Call’ to enter the field test mode again. Then press the home button once.

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • How can I get rid of obsolete addresses that come up in auto fill in iCal?

    I want to send an invitation to a calendar event.  I start typing the person's name and autofill always comes up with an obsolete address first, then the correct one.  I did a search of this problem and one suggestion was to move the plist file to desktop and restart, that didn't work.  Surely there is a solution to this problem?  I am running OSX 10.7.5 on an iMac (2007).  Thanks for any help!

  • How can I get rid of UXL so that I can run Firefox ?

    When I try to start Firefox I get an error message
    "XULRunner, Error: Platform Version '20.0.1' is not compatible with
    minVersion>=20.0
    maxVersion<=20.0"
    This error occurs with Version 20, I have had to go back to Version 18.

    Hello FrancN,
    This error will happen from time to time. The common solution is to do a clean install.
    If you see the message, "XULRunner - Error: Platform version <x.x.x.x> is not compatible with minVersion <x.x.x.x>"" ("<x.x.x.x>" depends on version number), after a software update, use another browser to download the Firefox installer from [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox mozilla.org/firefox], save it to the desktop or other location, delete the Firefox installation directory and then [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac Reinstall Firefox] .
    If Firefox still does not start, see the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-wont-start-find-solutions?esab=a&s=XULRunner&r=0&as=s#w_firefox-will-not-start-after-updating Firefox will not start after updating] section below.
    Please let us know if this solves your issue.
