Active Tab has floating chinese characters as well as the tab name how do I get rid of this?

Previously this seemed to driven by an addin which I removed. Now each time Firefox updates itself every 1-2 days this problem reappears without the original addin. Because the chinese characters float over the top of the tab name it makes it difficult to read the tab name is is plain irritating.

hi, some other affected users tied the issue to the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present.

When I hit the back button twice, it goes back two pages and when I close one tab it closes two tabs. How can I get rid of this issue?

The title pretty much sums it up. Also, I know it's not my mouse.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I can't open any app when I turn the computer on. Mouse has batteries and the screen freezes on 1 app (BBCiplayer) , which obviously is the cause. How can I get rid of this app?

When I turn on the iMac the screen and apps appear as always. However there is 1 app ( BBC iplayer Desktop) which seems to freeze everything. The mouse works OK but when I click on any app or on the apple logo, nothing happens. I can't even turn it off. What should I do?

Thanks very much for this answer. I'll try now but just want to check a couple of things before going ahead. I understand that I should do the following:
- turn off at back with the power button.
- turn on again and as soon as the start up tone sounds I press the shift ket ( the arrow key on left?).
- release key when the GREY PROGRESS BAR appears.
THEN follow noondaywitches instructions:
Then go to System Preferences > Accounts > login Items and remove the iPlayer launcher.
Then restart as normal from the Apple menu.
I've edited your post to clarify what you need to do.
Assuming it starts up correctly and normal service is resumed you may then want to permanently delete BBC iPlayer (there's nothing worth watching anyway )

Bling comes up a new tab. How do I get rid of bling from computer?

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
<br>also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
<br>finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

Go under settings, mail, contacts and calendars and then choose only to sync back 50 or 100 or 1000 mails. Chances are you don't really need the old ones on your device and it'll save room (I have mine set to 50)
