A box with "browser settings change" keeps popping up. Can you please tell me how to permanently get rid of it? Thank you

When I open up Firefox the box pops up immediately & can only be closed by right clicking on the box down the bottom of the screen & clicking close. It started happening after uninstalling Firefox & then reinstalling it yesterday. I Was able to uninstall it completely yesterday but not today. It will not allow me to remove it from program files.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps and allows to delete the Firefox program folder.

  • When I downloaded to iPad, it removed my icons, how do I uninstall? It is not helping me with the program I need for homeschooling. Please tell me how to uninstall from my iPad. Thank you

    I downloaded firefox to my pc to sync to my iPad. However, when it downloaded to my iPad, it removed all my desktop icons and is not working with my homeschooling program. I need to uninstall it from my iPad. Please let me know how to do this. Thank you.

  • I keep getting a notice that it is urgent that I download an update and the green hbar goes forever and nothing happens. All real updates seem to happen automatically, yet this keeps popping up. What's up and how do I get rid of it.

    I don't know what more I can provide until maybe it pops up again....which I'm sure it will.

  • HT5961 My iCloud in setting doesn't have the account option so I cannot change my number? Can someone please tell me how I am meant to change this so I can set up my keychain

    everyone is saying go settings>iCloud>account
    but but my phone doesn't have the account option and I can't change my bl**dy number and it's really beginning to drive me insain.
    Someone please help :,(

    If your trying to change the number used for iCloud keychain, you change it on an iOS device or Mac that is using your keychain as follows:
    iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    Otherwise, please explain what number you are trying to change and what version of iOS you're running.

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

    AppleWorks is a very old application and requires Rosetta to run under recent systems.
    Lion does not include Rosetta.

    Some tabs keep coming back that I don't want - how do I get rid of them?

    See these articles for some suggestions:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to sign in to my iCloud account. It tells me it recognises my Apple account but it isn't my cloud account. Please keep answers simple as I've looked at other responses and they completely lose me.

    Simple I was led to believe I could store stuff in iCloud without the need for a Mac thereby making space on my laptop. You live and learn.
    You can, iPhones/iPads and Macs work, as do PC's once there is an open account.
    This is typical Apple to be honest. The only reason I use iTunes is for my iPod. Perhaps I need to find another mp3 player.
    You do not need iCloud for iTunes, I am sorry that you misunderstand but iCloud and iTunes do not require each other.
    I'm certainly not paying the inflated prices that Apple charge for their laptops that are quite frankly no better than my Dell.
    I've had Dells, they are worth what you pay, no more.

    Keynotes '09
    Version 5.1.1 (1034)

    How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
    If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
    It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

    hello rodale, what you're seeing is probably a side effect of firefox not being able to save certain preferences into its profile folder.
    go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js'''.
    in case this didn't solve the issue yet please also refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
