Upgrade firefox and the bookmarks quadruple on the upgrade from the old version how can you stop this it would be nice to upgrade?
I am running windows xp and firefox 2.0 and when ever I go to upgrade to any version of firefox my book marks will quadruple and I have no idea as to why I have even tried to move my saved book marks onto a disk and it still will do the same thing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. cw
I went into the profile folder and found these files but it will not allow you to delete them so now what do you do. I am wondering if I go in and search the hard drive and delete everything that has to do with bookmarks then try to down load the up grade and then load my book marks from a disk would that work? cw

Over and over again: port scan TCP issuing from my mac. How can I stop this
I have set our router to send me an alarm whenever it is attacked.
I have noticed before that when I use Google Maps, Google Earth, Google's Picasa my mac attacks other IP's with a port scan TCP.
As of this morning my mac has startet to attack our router about every minute, and none of the above applications ist running.
How can I get this to stop?I'm experiencing a similar issue with some of the systems I support at a University. One was issuing tons of outbound ICMP requests to address 0.0.0.0 and another was port scanning a (seemingly) random name server. The systems themselves are behind a pretty aggressive firewall, as far as inbound traffic goes. Any thoughts?

Everytime I click to update then restart FireFox update 35.0.1 it pops needing to be reinstalled again. How can i stop this? it is annoying.
Hello mth24car, please try to '''download and install firefox''', do the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

After the last upgrade the tabs will begin refreshing at times it slows my movements the page freezes til it catches up. Or if flashplayer is running it will crash. One of the previous versions had this problem but there was an area to go to, to disable it. Ive tried about:config but it still refreshes. Im using Wimdows 7
Thank you both so very much for your quick replies. that is what I thought but the your assurances help me ease my anxiety. And yes the credit union has made a change because now it no longer recognizes my computer as a personal computer when I am using Firefox after the latest Firefox update, and requires me to answer a security question to log in, which is why I had been using Safari, but as I was in Firefox I was lazy and didn't switch browsers.

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I stop this from happening?
Go to Settings/ Messaging/ Send & Receive on each device to set the contact points to be reached at, and to set the "from" address when you start a new message. It sounds like your iPhone might be sending messages out as one thing (e.g. an iCloud address) but set to not receive replies only to your phone number. Make sure you review settings on each device since you may, or may not, want to have them common.

When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.
You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior. -

when i open safari the bookmarks page pops up. how can i stop this from happening?
Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

Often when I do a search and then click on the link I am redirected to a fake or phishing website. How can I stop this? Thank you!
Usually you would get to a phishing site directly by mistyping, or from the search itself.
You can avoid a lot of phishing sites with the following:
'''Tools > Options > Security'''<br>
''Known attack sites can be blocked here, uses information reported to Firefox and to Google.''<br>
[x] Warn me when sites try to install add-ons<br>
[x] Block reported attack sites<br>
[x] Block reported web forgeries
Having a good '''hosts''' file on your system can protect your entire system cross-application and all browsers and all your Firefox profiles against a lot malware. The '''hosts''' file must coded for www.example.com, example.com, anything.example.com -- '''Adblock Plus''' is more generic and can do more with less coding. See links below.

Just so you don't miss important information about Adblock Plus, be aware that it does nothing by itself -- it needs filters. Be sure to install the "EasyList (US)" filter subscription.
In your google search settings (preferences), you can filter adult content, but that is not phishing

Phishing protection comes from your browser using collected phishing data -- not from the Google search itself where you might see a warning.

I use iPhone 5s and iPad Air to take photos. They download automatically to my iMac. However, I often get dups, triplicates or more on the iMac. How can I stop this and how can I get rid of the extras that are already there?
Try upgrading your Mac to the newest version of OS X Mavericks, and try upgrading your iPhone and iPad to the newest version of iOS 7.
OS X Mavericks may not be in the Mac App Store by now, but you can find the newest version of Mavericks here at download.com: http://download.cnet.com/Apple-Mac-OS-X-Mavericks/3000-18513_4-76018588.html. Note: Download.com it a safe website to download free software. -
