A window has begun to pop-up when I open Firefox. Purple box with about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

It's a purple box that has about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

As far as I know, this has never been a feature of Firefox's core. Do you have an addon such as New Tab JumpStart or New Tab King that gave you this feature in Firefox 4? It's possible that whatever addon gave you this feature before hasn't been updated to work with Firefox 5. If you don't want to wait for that addon to update, you could try either of the addons I mentioned above.
Here's NTJS: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-jumpstart/

  • Why is there a popping noise when I cut between angles in a multi cam edit? How do i get rid of it?

    I shot an interview. I recorded it on an h4n-One person was on channel 1 and the other was on channel 2. When I cut between them in a multi edit it creates a popping noise. How can I get rid of this and/or prevent this from happening?

    I had this..  I didn't cure it I just slipped the edit until it went. Not always possible.  What I would do on avid or fcp 7 is add a dissolve to the audio tracks.. So you could do that in the fcp x way

  • My sister's email pops up when I turn on my IPad and it is annoying. How do I get rid of this pop up? My email is also available but she registered my IPad as it is a gift from her and she had an apple ID.

    I bought an IPad4 in Virginia, USA, as a gift to my brother who lives in India.  I registered it when I purchased it and may have entered my email at registration per guidance I got in the Applestore.
    When I gave it to him I remember setting up his email.  However, he says that my email pops up annoyingly and he is asked for an Apple PW but if he ignores it, it goes away--it is a minor irritation and he wishes he could either stop it from popping up or hide the pop-up.
    Is this possible?
    What are the steps?

    Hi MalathiVA,
    Have him go into Setting>Notifications>Mail, and turn the Notification OFF, Badge App Icon = OFF, New Mail Sound = None. (or, he can leave the sound on if he wants to know when new mail comes in). Unfortunately, with both email accounts set up on the iPad, you can't tell it to tell you about one without the other.
    Things can get fairly complicated if iCloud is involved. If it is your iCloud account that is set up on the iPad, then he will just have to deal with the two emails.....
    Cheers,

  • When I open firefox it says something about proxy settings! how do i fix this so I can start using it again

    It won't let me do anything! All it says The proxy server is refusing connections
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    * Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
    * Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
    working.
    I clicked the button to reload or whatever and nothing happens just the same old thing over and over!

    Check the connection settings.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
    See "Firefox connection settings":

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

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

    I had a pop up which turned out to be a malware virus on my iPad how do I get rid of it

    I didn't know you could even get one with an iPad.  Are you sure it installed something?  I see them pop up for my computer occasionally but they will pop up for any computer whether or not they can actually do anything or not.
    I'll let more experienced heads answer this one but they will certainly want to know the name of what it was you saw, unless it really is a case of nothing to worry about.

  • My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    In my case, this must be me. My iPhone has a bug - it's not any of the other things that are considered "other". It's just an issue. I've researched for over an hour, reduced every settings imagineable (Other doesn't go down - in fact, it goes up, almost like, because I freed up space, it wants to fill in the remaining space). I called Apple - after one hour of being inadvertently hung up on twice (they took my number to call me back in case disconnected and never did - amazing) and then talking to another 3 reps, they just "guessed" which I find offensive to my time - just say "I don't know but if you are willing to take a chance, here's a thought..." rather than not be able to say "I don't know".  Warning: Resets DO NOT solve this problem unless you do a clean wipe out and start from scratch (w/o restoring your stuff).  Two hours later, I've resolved to wipe out my phone.

    Someone before you must have done it. Connect your iPod touch with your computer. In iTunes, under Devices, select your iPod touch, click Restore button and set up your device. Everything should get back to normal.

  • INBOX has taken over Mozilla homepage when I open Firefox. How do I delete it?

    I was browsing for a map of Berlin and opened a site. I closed it when it didn't provide the information free.
    Now when I open Firefox, I get their homepage INBOX.
    I tried closing down the computer and restarting, but this does not work.
    How can I delete INBOX as the default browser and restore Firefox as the browser when I click its icon in the dock.
    I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8.

    Firefox can open multiple home pages. They are separated with the "|" keyboard character. Easiest way to set multiple home pages:
    #open only the pages you want to be set as home pages
    #go to Options > General
    #set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
    #click "Use current pages"

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • When I open Firefox, my computer goes into safe mode. How do I fix this problem?

    When I open Firefox to do some browsing, my computer goes into safe mode. When I close Firefox browser, then it goes back to normal. I know there has to be a simple fix, but I have not found it.

    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can check that in the "Compatibility" tab in the Properties via the right-click context menu of the Firefox desktop shortcut.<br />
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
