Any idea why a "Special Savings" bar with similar items for sale, keeps popping up on my screen anytime I'm shopping online now? Seems like this started after a firefox update and it's super annoying. Please help!

Anytime I'm shopping for something online now, a bar pops up over the product image with suggestions for buying the same product or similar products online from other websites. It's got "Special Savings" in the bar as the title and says it's powered by "superfish" when you open it. I've not signed up for anything like this and it seems to have started when I updated firefox the last time. I can "x" out of it, but it's a pain and I'd like to get rid of it. Anyone else know what this is and how to get rid of it?

You might have an add-on doing this. Try to see if you have any add-ons doing this. To see if an add-on is affecting it please start firefox in [[Safe Mode]]

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.

    Peter.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

    You can not get help here per the terms of service. Discussing jailbroken devices is forbidden.
    The ONLY thing we can advise you to do is try putting the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it.
    Beyond that, you're on your own.

    Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
    Please help me in solving this problem. 

    Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
    Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
    Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
    Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
    jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

  • Laptop doesn't turn on after re-assembl​y and replacing thermal paste. Please help!

    Hi,
    I hope anyone can help me. I took apart my laptop HP HDX16 to replace thermal paste and clean up the fan. I did everything very carefully as showed in manual. I cleaned the old paste and pads off and replaced thermal paste but not the pads as someone in the store suggested that there is no need for putting pads and that the thermal compound is enough to have it on there. I left only one pad on the heat sink in place where it services Northbridge as it was in good condition. On the Northbridge itself I put thermal compound as well as on the GPU and CPU.  I put back every screw and connected each cable as it was before (I am pretty sure about it). I was quite happy with my job but after I tried to turn the computer on it wouldn't start at all. Did I do something wrong? Please help me because I don't have any idea what to do now.

    I am a little confused here, it sounds like you removed all the thermal pads except for one, if this is so, you need to put all the thermal pads back in place.
     Anyways aside from that, if you plug the adapter in you will have a steady light where it plugs into the laptop. The light will always be on whether the machine is booted up or not.
     If you don't have a steady light then you need to check the DC receptor where it plugs into the MoBo. Sometimes a cable may look like it's fully seated, but isn't. It still will boot up with the battery in place even if the DC jack plug is not correctly seated.
     Check the small ribbon cable on the power button board where it connects into the MoBo.
     Check that the processor is correctly aligned with it's key and that the locking mechanism is fully locked.
     Make sure the RAM is seated correctly.
     If these suggestions sound obvious, I have to start some where.
      The problem here is that only you can help your self because you disassembled you machine, I can only make suggestions as what you may have missed and obviously something was missed.
     If your thinking that you incorrectly applied the thermal paste, then that's not the problem. Even if there were no thermal pads or paste in place, the machine would still boot up, but it would heat up very quickly.
     If the fan plug was plugged in incorrectly you would get a message in the BIOS upon boot up saying that the fan has a problem and it would shut down, but it sound like it's not even getting that far.
     There is also a secondary fan that is used to cool the hard drive bays, check that plug as well. You may not get a BIOS message if this fan is not plugged in.

    Spammers have probably hacked your mail account. Change the password, to something much harder than it was before and see if it happens again. If it does then you may need to talk to the provider or take more aggressive action.
    Usually they hack, send spam and  move on.

    You can export the bookmarks to an HTML file to have a backup.
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
    You should always backup important personal data at regular intervals to prevent dataloss.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Backing+up+your+information
    You can also use the Profile Manager to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    Then you can still revert to your current profile in case that is doesn't help.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I started a software update and iphone 4 crashed! Please help!!

    Now all I get is "plug in to itunes", how do I retrieve all my data if no recent back up?
    It's my business phone, I've lost everything but most importantly my diary!!! It's been plugged into the computer relatively recently but doesnt seem to have backed anything up since I got this phone in October 2011...
    I was going to try putting the sim into my old iphone 3gs but they are different sizes..
    Thanks!

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Why do I now have a Yahoo toolbar after the last update and how do I get rid of it? Also, get rid of the popup asking me if I want to change my homepage?

    About a week or so ago, I received the familiar pop-up message asking if I wanted to update Firefox. I said yes but since then I have acquired a Yahoo toolbar (I never use Yahoo but don't know how to get rid of the damn thing). Also I am now getting a pop-up box asking if I want to change my home page. How do I stop this as well?

    Tap the bookmarks icon in Safari (looks like an open book), then tap "Favorites".  Edit the second row out of there.

  • HT203175 How does one fix the  problemd.... "application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing  MSVCR80.dll" ?  This started after the last "update" of itunes

    With a recent update of itunes, ( a couple weeks ago), when plugging in my iphone, itunes did not automatically launch...and when manually selecting itune to open I recieve the statement ...
    "application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing  MSVCR80.dll" ? 
    I have gone to the itunes site and reloaded itunes....and did not fix the problem. ....help

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
