When I open Firefox a screen comes up that says register for "Inbox". I do not want to. I cannot deleate this and cannto figure out how to uninstall. Is it possible that I could speak with a live person that can help me.

I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Everyday when I open Firefox a msg come on the screen that says "It is stronly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox ASAP." The connectivity server will not connect. Is there some way to disable this request?

    Everyday when I open Firefox a msg comes on the screen that says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox ASAP. When I try to install, it will not connect to the connecting server so it just clocks forever.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!! No help link or anything!!?

    I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
    I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
    You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
    I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
    Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

  • I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.

  • Macbook:  How do I uninstall a game on the macbook?  I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

    I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.  I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

    This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash.  Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
    Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run.  Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too. 
    You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
    Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

  • My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. No one knows the unlock code can you soehow reset the device

    My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. Now it is locked and noone knows the unlock code, Is there a way to master reset/wipe the unit?

    Gretchen,
    What iPod model does she own?  If it's a Nano, simply connect it to iTunes and restore it. 
    If it's an iPod touch, you will need to connect to iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • When I open Firefox my homepage comes up (good!) but often a second page/tab comes up with an annoying ad. My pop-up blocker is enabled and there are no exceptions listed. How can I stop this?

    I recently had a virus attack and have cleared them with Malwarebytes Anti-malware. This problem didn't happen before the attack. In addition to happening when I open Firefox, occasionally an unwanted ad will pop-up in a new tab while using Firefox.

    Firefox can store multiple home pages, check to make sure that the ad site is not listed as a home page. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
    You should run a scan with some other scanners to ensure that malwarebytes did not miss any. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]

  • When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

    When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

    Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.

  • I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

    I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
    The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

    Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
    My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
    Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

  • I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

    I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

    Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
    Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
    Thanks

  • I literally cannot figure out how to remove songs from my ipod touch 2nd gen. with itunes 11.  Please help.

    I can't figure out how to remove songs from my ipod with itunes 11.  And dragging songs to the ipod is rejected as well.  Please help.

    I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL

  • Why when I open Firefox does it come up "not responding"? When I attempt to close I get a windows window to check for the reason for no response. Magically, all of a sudden Firefox "POPS" back to life. Any thing I can do about this??

    Firefox will open and then "freeze" (Says Firefox not responding). Have to attempt to close from lower bar and then get message from Windows - options
    1. close window now
    2. windows will search for the reason
    When I click on either option I have to wait "magically" Firefox will "pop" alive. May stay responsive for full session or may again "not respond" when I try to access another site.

    I have also found that unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

  • When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

    I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

    This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.<br />
    Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.
