A bunch of ads have been appearing in my firefox browser; when I view the same page with other browsers they do not appear.

I can provide a screenshot to help illustrate my problem. Every page I load has numerous ad boxes embedded into the page from "Ads by Browse to Save". Does anyone else have this problem? Is this something that firefox added to their browser or do I have a malware problem? (I see no option to post a screenshot of the problem, as is advised on the community help homepage. Maybe I will have that option once my question is posted.)

I think I see where it is from your system details:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If there is no Remove button, then it is an externally added extension and you may need to visit the Windows Control Panel to get rid of it. (But go ahead and at least disable it now.)
Does that work?

  • I have a iPhone4 acquired in Portugal. I will be moving to the EQUATOR (South America). Whenever I have visited the country before, with other cellphones, they did not work (different band) forcing me to buy a local cellphone. Will my iPhone4S work there?

    If it is unlocked it will work if you get a SIM from the carrier you will be using. Note that Apple does not and cannot unlock phones. Only the carrier it is presently locked to can unlock it.

  • I have not been able to go to links when in Firefox. When I open the same page in Internet Explorer it works.

    Since I upgraded to the latest Firefox a few days ago I have not been able to access certain links. When I switch to Internet Explore those link work.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • HT1386 I just downloaded four books through iTunes. I tried 5 times to sync the books onto my iPhone. They do not appear on the iPhone. Previously purchased books had synced fine. I selected sync all books; and also tried selecting all books individually.

    I just downloaded four books through iTunes. I tried 5 times to sync the books onto my iPhone. They did NOT appear on my iPhone. Previous books synced without problems. I tired syncing ALL books, and also selected book by selecting the new books. No luck. What do/can I do now. iTunes prevents me downloading again. The books show on the computer. I cannot redownload direct to my iPhone now as iTunes indicates the books are already downloaded.What do/can I do now?

    You got the new iphone?????   I have same problem.  I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was).  Have you found a solution?????   I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked. 

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

    This seems to be an annoying part of the newer OS.  When I first got my Pearl in 2008, I didn't have that occur.  However once the OS got upgraded, and now with the Tour, it seems like that is the way it works.  Not clear to me why they would have thought this is preferable.

  • If I am viewing a page with the words date or match, the words are hyperlinks to a dating website. This is not so if I view the same pages in IE and has not been picked up by Norton, Spybot or malware bytes etc. Is this a Firefox bug?

    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

    I have had voice mail set up on my phone for 10 years. When I did the last iOS update before 7 I guess it wiped out my voice mail. Can I not set it up myself? I haven't changed my message in years.

  • I have had three seperate credit card charges from itunes but I haven't ordered anything and they do not appear on my itunes purchased list.

    Why do I have mystery charges??!!
    Hi I have been charged three seperate transactions on my credit card statement from itunes. I did not make these purchases and I have checked on my itunes purchase list and they do not appear. How or why did this happen? What can be done to prevent further false purchase transactions? I have already informed my credit card company.
    Thanks :/

    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account in which case it will be up to your bank to handle. I would, however, suggest that you change your password to your Apple ID, using one that will be difficult to guess, just as a precaution. You can also go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store, though if the false charges didn't come through them, there will be nothing they can do.

  • I have been trying to install firefox but when l get to the setup type, firefox tells me to close firefox to proceed with installation, when l do it ask me if l want to cancel, l want firefox but l can't get it. tell me what to do next.

    I am trying to install firefox and l can't get pass setup type on the type of setup whih is standard and then it tells me to close firefox so it can proceed with installation, when l do, it ask me do l want to cancel installation, if l say no then it tells me again to close firefox.

    I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
    This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
    If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications?

  • How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

    I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
    Is there any way to accomplish this?
    Thanks.
    chuck b.

    Hi Chuck,
    Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
    Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
    Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
    The formula in C1 is pretty simple:   =A1
    So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I tried to download FireFox and when I hit the second run to start it an error message appeared stating the file could not be extracted why?

    I did the download for FireFox and when the download was complete a screen appeared asking me to run the program. I clicked on run but at 14% it said file could not be extracted error message. I don't understand why this happened and what do I do now?
    thank you
    Linda

    Don't try to run the program directly when downloading with IE, but save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double click on the desktop icon.

  • HI. I have been receiving an error message recently when opening itunes the message says "itunes has stopped working. Windows will close theprogram and notify when a solution has been found." Anyone able to help?

    Any help you could give would be awesome!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

  • HT1386 I am unable to sync music to my touch IPod. No matter what I try, nothing works.  When I plug the IPod into the  laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device'  with my Ipod listed does not appear on the left side of the screen,

    ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?
