Block unsolicited ad banner behind home page

Evidently a banner "Theme missing? Click "Theme Help" at: www.personasInteractive.com" rode into my Firefox settings on the back of a site I visited. I think it happened when I made the mistake of downloading a video helper attempting to resolve an issue with YouTube video errors. I uninstalled that application and is still appears as VisualBee. Perhaps that is the malware that I thought I uninstalled.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    Question
    delta.edu patially hides behind home page until I CLICK ON it and its the only site that does this, other computer does not do this. i see .25 of ther home page.

    Did you disable all the extensions before restarting?
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
    *all extensions are disabled
    *the default theme is used (no persona)
    *userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
    *the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
    *the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
    *hardware acceleration is disabled
    *plugins are not affected
    *preferences are not affected

  • I set home page. Firefox then says it has blocked an attempt to change home page and it reverts to firefox setting

    The note on blocking the change comes the next time I open Firefox rather than when I first attempt to change the setting. It occurs whether I drag the setting across to the home symbol or go into preferences and set it there

    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • What is open dns, and why is it blocking my home page?

    I don't know what "open dns" is, but when I try and open my home page, a news site, I get a message that says "This domain has been blocked by your network administrator." This is my own computer, and I didn't block anything. It just started doing this today and goes to http://block.opendns.com/ when I try to open a window. I can still access other sites. I flushed the cache, which didn't change anything.

    Hello g:
    I clicked on that link and got a message that access was blocked by my network administrator. Since I do not have a network administrator, something is bogus.
    Open DNS is explained here:
    http://www.opendns.com/start/
    I used to use it, but have not found it necessary in my own world.
    Somehow something has changed your settings.
    I have not used it, but some people have had success with this software:

  • When I try to open some web sites i am blocked by MOZILLA and redirected to a site I did not want and am unable to close or go back without going back to the home page. Help help help

    I have removed the check from the pop up blocked in the MOZILLA options but still get this problem of not being able to open certain sites. The MOZILLA icon appears with the three options available, but before i can click on one I am automatically redirected to a site I did not want, and when I try to go back it will keep coming back to the site MOZILLA put on the computer. I have to close and go back to the home page and start all over again. I have installed a new virus protection system STOPZILLA and could this have any bearing on the problem. After awhile it becomes very frustrating trying to get on line information and being continually redirected. Any ideas?

    There are other things that need attention:
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
    *Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

  • MSN keeps coming up as my homepage. I do NOT want it as my home page. How do I block a site in Firefox?

    I was perfectly happy with my Comcast home page. Recently, MSN has been loading as my home page. I have changed my home page 6 times in the Firefox Options menu, however, it does not stay. MSN keeps coming up. I want to block MSN.

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

  • How do I change the background behind the home page

    My home page has a design behind it............. I would like to revert to its original plain design. The design it has now came through an email as a addition.

    Sounds like you installed a Persona. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Personas#w_removing-a-persona-in-firefox-3-6

  • Home page banner is slow loading

    I am creating a new corporate web site which has two .swf files on the home page and at the top is a small banner file (30k). For some reason, this banner takes 5 - 10 seconds to load and it happens well after both .swf files have loaded. Here's a URL link to my site:
    http://newsite.keystonewalls.com
    Can someone tell me why it is loading so slowly?
    -bbfrench

    I wouldn't say it loads slowly, it looks more like it is just last in line.

  • HT204416 safari though I blocked the pop tabs I keep getting the home page is always unconfigures and does not let me banks I do?

    safari though I blocked the pop tabs I keep getting the home page is always unconfigures and does not let me banks I do?

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Pipeline block on full width of Sales Home Page

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help to check the feasibility of separate assignment block on Sales Home page to be displayed across whole page width (not the right/left column). If you refer any Sales Home Page, the assingment blocks in sales home page are seperated in 2 coluumns here. We can move any block from left to right (and vice versa)  & move any block up/down but how if we want to show a block to the full page width?
    You must be wondering why we need this? u2013 User will have view of Pipeline BI report on CRM Home page and the pipeline width will not fit in the right/left column so it will enable the horizontal scrollbar which is not user friendly. We have to have a full page wide block for BI Pipeline report on Sales Home Page.
    Componenet/view u2013 WCC_SLS_HOME/SalesHome
    Please suggest,
    Thanks.

    Hi Abhishek,
    If you are using CRM 7.0, this is a standard feature. Just go into peronalize on Home Page and select checkbox for full page.
    I am also trying to display a BI report (open as a chart) on the Home Page. Could you please share how did you achieved this?
    Thanks,

  • Hi i am working on my web site and it appears to have blocked the ip from my server i can't open my web sites and i cant open the server home page but can do this on my iPhone i have trend micro running on 2 other desk tops all from the same router please

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • My home page changed and now I can not print . i need to do this now I have been trying to print since last week fire fox is block

    I can not print from my emails, since my email page changed fire fox is blocking them Please call and fix this I have not been able to print since last week i have business paper work I need to finish I can not spend any more time on this I have also been on the phone yahoo
    <sub>edit: removed personal information for your protection. please note that we cannot offer support via telephone, so please continue in the forum. thanks for your understanding! (philipp)</sub>

    Hi Vicki, you also mentioned your home page changing. If Yahoo is your home page, this is normal as they keep updating things.
    In some cases, if your home page is a specific server address instead of a more general address like
    * http://www.yahoo.com/
    * http://my.yahoo.com/
    * http://mail.yahoo.com/
    then Yahoo will need to redirect your browser to a different server.
    Users have reported on this forum that this can lead to email problems like broken features as well as display glitches.
    To make sure you get the server that Yahoo intends for you, please go to one of the above Yahoo addresses and follow the link to your email. Hopefully this will resolve any problem with the redirection and you can save the new address in place of the old one (home page, bookmark, etc.).
    Also, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. If Yahoo support did not already recommend this, here are the steps:
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • When i open my computer the home page is displayed but blocked, it is not possible to open any application

    when i open my computer the home page is displayed but blocked, it is not possible to open any application, even if my mouse is moving correctly

    You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
    Did you install any programs yesterday?
    If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.
