BING search is in the middle of my home page. How do I get rid of it?

I don't want BING on my home page. You added it without my permission. Please get rid of it.

Mozilla makes more money from you using Google searches than you using the Microsoft search.
Getting rid of Bing as your primary search engine, and from your location bar has so far been relatively easy. Microsoft made a mistake and Mozilla was asked (maybe with some coaxing) to add the Bing toolbar to the Add-ons "Blocklist". To be having problems at this time would seem to mean that you have turned off or least don;'t have some security in Firefox turned on.

  • I have two firefox icons running horizontally at the bottom of my home page, how do I get rid of Firefox (2)?

    Don't think I need two FireFox icons, especially the one that says FireFox (2)

    I am guessing that this is just something pinned to the Windows launcher, and so someone more familiar with Windows may do better at answering it.
    If you attach a screenshot it may help me understand what you are seeing
    *[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    Note however there is a problem with some Firefox installations on Windows,and that the registry could have been updated incorrectly so that you appear to have 2 copies of windows when only one is present. <br/>In such circumstances do NOT try uninstalling or you loose Firefox, and do NOT use any option to remove personal information,becaause that tries to destroy bookmarks, passwords and other settings from all normally installed versions of Firefox.

  • When i open a new tab, a bing search site pop up instead of a blank tab. how do i get rid of that?

    So i just downloaded CDisplay and thats when it started. So i was wondering if there's an easy way to get rid of the bing search when i click on a new tab

    Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
    UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
    UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

  • I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back, do I need to re down load?

    I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??

    Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
    If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup

  • To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How do i get rid of this message? or do i need to just drop firefox all together?

    To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How do i get rid of this? it keeps pop n up and screw n up my stuff... if there is not a fix I will be dropping fox and going back to internet explorer.. this is not worth the headache!

    Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
    This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
    If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
    This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
    However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

  • I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

    I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. How do I get rid of them?

    I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. The others go away easily.
    How do I get rid of them?

    Have you tried quitting mail and then trying to delete again? Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or resetting the iPad and then trying again? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If neither of these things work, delete the emails from the server in webmail. Go to your email account via a web browser and delete it from the server. Empty the trash folder on the server as well and then see if you can delete them from the iPad or see if they have gone away.

    Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
    ".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
    Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

    I think I've isolated it to the Cisco webex plugin. Have you done an online conference recently? In the finder go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and thenfind the webex plugin. Remove it and restart safari. In chrome go to chrome://plugins and disable the plugin.
