An unwanted JPG image of handwashing came into my address bar?

I had not been looking for anything to do with health or handwashing. It was as if I had asked a question about preventing the flu??. I had just finished reapplying for California lifeline service on my telephone and had done it online. I then went back to my Web mail page & sent a message to Zoom panel whom I have done surveys for sev. years about why I hadn't been getting any surveys lately. I had just bfinished this when on my address bar a new address?? came up "1402.jpg(JPG IMAGE,425x338 pixels). When I clicked on it--itwas a picture of someone washing their hands vigorously--like in a medical illustration!. This had nothing to do with anything I had done all day??!! I tried to get rid of it--but to no avail.

If this image is open in a tab, you should be able to close it the way you close other tabs (for example, Ctrl+w).
If this image now appears on one of your toolbars, there are a couple possible ways that might occur:
(1) Is it a bookmarked site? If so, you can right-click the icon and choose Delete from the menu.
(2) Is it an add-on button? You can check whether you have any unrecognized or unneeded extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any progress in eliminating the unwanted image?

Since I downloaded the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes.

Since I installed the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes. If I "force quit" then it seems to download them, but will do nothing else, including verifying and deleting the images from my camera. It worked fine prior to the update.

Dear Steve--
You are the man--a true Apple genius. Your suggestion worked.
Thanks you so much.

How do i stop firefox from automatically opening a new tab when i type an address into the address bar?

when i type a new address into the address bar and press enter, firefox automatically opens the site in a new tab. i want it to just open in the same tab.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

In google searches, selecting the advertised links do not load the page I have to copy the link into the address bar to load, how can this be fixed?

Hi,
When I select one of the advertised links in a google search, the tab flashes and looks likes it's loading but nothing happens. If I copy/paste the link into the address bar it works OK. It also works correctly using IE.

In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
[http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

I AM FREQUENTLY SENT TO WEBSITES OTHER THAN THE ONE I TYPE INTO THE ADDRESS BAR. WHY???

How do I download images from a camera into Photoshop Elements 7?

Previously I've downloaded digital images directly from my camera into Photoshop Elements 7.0 In trying to do that today, I go to "File", choose "Get pictures from Camera", then see a "source" box, with an instruction to "Get Pictures from:" and offers a "source" box for choosing. The single "source" listed is my printer, not my camera! Am I doing something wrong? Is Photoshop defective?
Please help me out.
Gene F.

Hi Gene
Yes Elements is defective.
There are known bugs with the photo downloader, notably if you run the program on a net book or laptop with minimum screen resolution.
Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) will not.
Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?

I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

That works, thank you!
Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.

I am unable to enter a URL into the address bar.

Problem description: I can type an address into the URL bar, but when I hit enter, nothing happens. Nothing happens when I hit the "go" arrow. Nothing happens when I paste an address into the URL bar with "Paste & Go".
The awesome bar functionality seems to work, but when I select an address, it puts the address in the URL bar, but nothing happens.
It's just refusing to actually load any URL I type into the URL bar.
The bookmarks menu works just fine, as does everything else.
This occurred when I upgraded to Firefox 20.0.
I found the problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
I tried disabling all the add-ons, but that didn't help.
The problem did NOT occur when using a fresh newly-created profile. You're probably thinking something was corrupt in my old profile. But that's not it.
The problem occurs when the profile is located on a network share. If I copy the profile to the local hard drive, the problem goes away. If I copy the fresh new profile to the network share, the problem starts occurring there.
I keep the profile on the network share because it gets backed up automatically every night. I have been doing this for at least the last five or six years, and it's been working fine since I don't know what Firefox version. 4 or 5? No idea, not important.
Here is my profiles.ini:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=Joe D
IsRelative=0
Path=\\Splut\joed\.mozilla\firefox-win\Profiles\7ng20p6c.default
[Profile1]
Name=Copy
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/7ng20p6c.default
Default=1
As you can see, profile 0 is on the network share, and profile 1 is on the local hard drive. I copied the profile from the network to the local drive to create profile 1.
But wait! It gets even better!
They are not just identical copies. They are the EXACT SAME FILES. The folder for profile 1 is a symbolic link to the folder for profile 0. (Yes, you can do symlinks in Windows now.)
So the profiles are literally exactly the same, but one works and the other doesn't.
This solves my issue by allowing me to keep my profile on the network, but the other way should still work.
Any ideas?

URLs typed into IE address bar get opened in Firefox.

New Windows XP SP3 reload. I’ve re-installed most of my software, including FF, and also including a “collection” of older versions of IE, used for site development and testing.
But I can’t get Windows automatic updates to work because whatever I enter into ANY IE address bar gets opened in Firefox instead.
This behaviour is not observed in Opera or Safari or Chrome.

Importing jpg images saved in Photoshop into iPhoto'11 albums

I edited some photos in Photoshop, saved them as jpgs and then tried to import them into an iPhoto '11 album without success. Although I saw a green plus sign, the photos did not appear in the album. I have done this without a problem in an older version of iPhoto (7?) on an older computer. Why won't it work now and how do I get the edited photos into my album?
Thanks.

You can't import to an Album. You import to the Library and then you add them to a Library. Check your Library those images will be there.

Not all images from iPhoto came into Aperture

I ran an import from iPhoto and I think I am not seeing photos in some albums.
Is it possible this is due to my hiding the Album in iPhoto and if so can someone tell me if there is a good or a global way to unhide all Albums?
Also, can someone tell me if it is possible that I need to unhide all photos as well?
Are there other things I should make sure to do so that everything I can get to Aperture gets to Aperture?
Looking forward to working in this software but I have to get clear of iPhoto first.
Thanks.

I've been importing referrenced images into Aperture since it was launched. I am also irritated when I set the sort order to Date and as soon as the import starts it changes to Manual.
Are you saying that I have to go back to my hundreds of albums and set each one to be sorted by Date in order for a new import into a new album to be imported already sorted by Date?
Additional trivial complaints follow:
I never import from the camera or the SD card. I move my images onto an external HD where they are arranged by date. The files and the folders are set to sort by date on my HD. Why not follow that protocol when importing?
It was bad enough when v 2.0 came out and decided during the update and "conversion" that my method of sorting and displaying my images which were Year = Project, Month = Folder, Day = folder was incorrect.. Everything was sorted by date because the names of the Project - Folder - folder were all labeled by date : year - month - day. Everything was messed up when Aperture decided I was using the wrong order of storage. So Aperture, without asking, changed the way my images were stored and sorted. It took me weeks to convert them so they would sort & display the way I wanted.

Why can't I just press ENTER to go to the page when I have the complete URL typed into the address bar?

I dunno; maybe I'm just crazy, but I'd swear that before I downloaded FF4, I used to be able to (1) type in a complete URL, or (2) type a partial URL or keyword and choose what I wanted from a drop-down of recent URLs, then hit ENTER to be taken to the page I was looking for--all in the address bar, without having to use my mouse to click the little curly arrow at the right end of the address bar (next to the "favorite" star).

BINGO! SOLVED IT!! It was that rotten AVG safe search. Bravo, and thank you, TonyE! (I often suspect I'm losing my marbles; glad to know that this time it was a false alarm;)

When I type certain letters such as h the cursor jumps into the address bar and sometimes this produces a list of previos searches.

I use a Dell Latitude and run XP. this happened before and I fixed it but can't remember how.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
