Blocking websites on it's own but letting ads through that should be blocked by my Add-On

Firefox keeps blocking websites with the "mixed content". I can't watch Netflix and it is even blocking things on this website. I also have an Add-On to block ads but now ads keep getting through everywhere I go. I have ran multiple anti-virus and anti-malware scans but nothing has come up.

In the last several versions of Firefox Pop-up Site that should be blocked are creating new windows. Why?

I have several computers. On each computer Firefox operates different. On the system I am writing these words. Every time I open a link Foxfire opens a new set of windows instead of a new tab. On my laptop Firefox opens a new tab when I want to open a new link. I think that this the way it should be. I have looked in the options to try and fix this but there is NO option to correct this. Both the computer are running the same version of Firefox. On the system I am writing this when new window pops up it creates two windows, one with a web page and one with tiles. I am running Windows 7 on all my systems not Windows 8. The laptop does not do this. If a unwanted page pops up; say a Web Cam site or Dating site that Pop-up Blocker use to block appears there is a race to close it because Firefox switches back to the page you were on before the new windows appeared. The Firefox on this system I am writing on also does not allow scrolling when something is being highlighted anymore.
I use Firefox because it allows me the configure it to use Applications on my computer to open, view, and save material from the Internet unlike the other browser that are available. Can someone fix these bugs?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also,
check the programs that are on your computer
'''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.<BR><BR>

I need to deauthorize three computers I no longer own, but keep my computer authorization for my current computer and add a new laptop. Is there a way of doing this without having to unauthorize my current desktop which is my main music storage devic

I just purchased a new Win 8.1 laptop and want to authorize it for my iTunes library. I operate this library on a Win 7 desktop. I have three other Windows computers that I no longer own which were authorized under my iTunes account, but I can't unauthorized them because they are broken or sold. I want to have Computer Authorization for just my current desktop running Win 7 and my new laptop operating Win 8.1. How can I selectively unauthorize a computer if I no longer have it in my possession, and if I have to unauthorize all of my computers, how do I get my iTunes library of music back onto my current desktop system?

Deauthorizing the computer will not remove the content from your library. You deauthorize all, then authorize the ones you want. See this support document. Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support

Is it possible to block websites on Firefox (i.e. Facebook)

I can't figure out how or if I can temporarily block websites.

Firefox doesn't have any means of doing that, but you could either use your Firewall to block it, or install an add-on like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxfilter/ or possibly this one: http://www1.k9webprotection.com/
Incidentally, your Flash player is out of date which exposes your system to exploits. See: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html Update link at the foot of the page.

If you block someone's number, can they still text you through iMessage by using their Apple ID?

I recently blocked someone who was harassing me, but I'm concerned that they might still be able to get through by using their Apple ID in iMessage. Is this a possibility?

Yes, so block their Apple ID as well: Settings>>Phone>>Blocked>>Add New...

Sophos uninstaller says "Sophos Anti-virus is not installed" but sophos still blocks websites.

Hi, I downloaded the free (trial?) version and didn't like it blocking websites. I dragged the app to the trash and, of course, it didn't uninstall. Looked it up and got a (I think there are more than one) remove tool for sophos but it says it can't find sophos on my MAC. Yet, when browsing the internet, sophos still blocks websites. Any suggestions? I'm a little frustrated. Thanks in advance, Willie

Hi Willie,
Sorry you're having trouble. If you uninstall by dragging the app to the trash instead of using the remove sophos tool, this sort of thing unfortunately tends to happen.
One thing I wanted to mention is that if you don't want Sophos to block websites, you can actually disable the web filtering feature. All you have to do is click the sheild icon > preferences > web protection and toggle the switch to 'off.'
Another question, I was just curious if you were having trouble with Sophos blocking sites that you thought were safe? We should only block you from accessing malicious websites, so if we were interferring with accessing "regular" sites, you can let us know which sites were incorrectly blocked, and we'll take another look at it.
All that said, if you just want to remove Sophos there's a couple things you can do.
1. Restart your mac, reinstall Sophos, and then once it's working properly, use the 'Remove Sophos Antivirus' app to remove it
2. Manually remove Sophos
- Open Activity Monitor and stop any processes with "Sophos" in the name
- Open Finder, and remove everything in the following list:
/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus
/Library/LaunchDaemos/com.sophos.*
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.sophos.*
/Library/Preferences/com.sophos.*
/Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus.log
/Applications/Sophos Anti-Virus.app
/Applications/Sophos Remove.app
/var/db/receipts/com.sophos.*
Note: You'll need administrative rights to remove most of those files. Then reboot, to ensure everything is cleared from memory too. Then run through the list again, to ensure you got everything.
Warning: Be cautious when deleting things in some of those directories. Not everything in there is related to our software - our files contain the name "Sophos".
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any trouble!

How can I get itunes to download on my PC. I just got an ipod classic for Christmas and can not get Itunes to download. Website goes to downloaded page but i never get a downloading popup. I even turned off my popup blocker.

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

I have a cooliris wall embedded in a website I built. IE shows it but Foxfire doesn't. I've looked for an add-on but the cooliris one goes to its own wall. I updated to ff4 but no difference. Is there a plug in I need?

I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow. I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

When I bought my iPhone 4s, a friend activated it for me using his email. Later I changed it to my own email on iPhone website (iCloud A/C). But when I try to update, I found it still shown my friend's email and I don't have his password. What can I do?

In addition to what FelipeV is telling you, I advise you to contact your friend and have him remove the iPhone from his apple id through icloud.com. Otherwise, if in the future you want to update the iOS or restore the iPhone for troubleshooting a problem, you may find that you cannot activate it again due to the feature Activiation Lock in iOS 7.
Once your friend has done this, you should deactivate Find my iPhone on your iPhone iCloud settings and then activate it back with your own Apple ID.

Im trying to log into a website. When I log in, a message appears that the website has been blocked for my safety. Allow button appears but I cant click on it

I type a website address and go to that website. I try to log into website and message appears on top screen that I am blocked out for my safety. An Allow button appears, but when I click on it, I am still not allowed to log into website. How can I be allowed to log into website?

Thank you for responding madperson. No, the message didnt say connection was untrusted, just "blocked for my safety." Allow button quickly appeared/disappeared, I couldnt click on it. This is a webpage in which I am a member & needed to log in my user & password. I deleted my cookies & cache and went to internet options & where you can choose which websites you dont want cookies, I entered website address, clicked OK & then was able to log into website. It was frustrating, but now solved.
Thank you for your help, madperson, appreciate it. Madison2013

A website keeps transferring me to their site even though I've tried blocking it how do i stop it?

So I've tried blocking this website to keep from it transferring me to it but that hasn't worked and also add the do not let the pages redirect me to another but that still occurs on all different sites that i visit for a prolonged amount of time. So how do i keep from the page buzzya.com from transferring me to their page no matter what page i am on?

hello SalvdrnG24, this sounds like an issue caused by malware on your machine. please perform these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# 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] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Block websites from detecting window size

It seems that many websites are able to detect the size of the browser window. This creates two major problems for me:
1. If I resize the window smaller than some unknown threshold width, the site switches to a mobile version.
2. If I resize the window beyond a certain dimension, video sites like Youtube will shrink the size of the video player to some proportionally smaller size.
I have a 42-inch monitor, so I like to work with multiple windows open at the same time, in non-overlapping positions. I might want to watch a video in a window perfectly resized to the dimensions of the video player plug-in only, in the corner of my screen, while working on a Word document side-by-side with a webpage and an Excel spreadsheet. I like to resize things in tall, narrow dimensions because this is what documents look like in real life and it minimizes vertical scrolling.
How can I either block websites from detecting my browser window dimensions or pass a phony value to them so they display the full-size page (including larger sizes of media players) no matter what size I actually make the windows? I'd prefer to do this in the about:config rather than installing an add-on.
Why do web designers put so much effort into avoiding scrollbars?!?! Is it so that we have to look at their stupid ads and banners along the margins of the real content?

<blockquote>
I don't know of a way to override that and report a higher value without actually changing the zoom level of the page to make the text smaller. Hmm...
</blockquote>
And that's precisely what I want to do. How many different ways can a website query the user's screen size? (JS, CSS, etc.) If the list of methods is short enough, is there a way that I could block those specific methods, or better yet force a return value of my choosing? I don't know anything about user stylesheets, but based on some casual research I suspect that I can stop CSS-based queries by creating my own user stylesheet.
I suppose an extreme measure is to block those scripts entirely, but that would break a lot of websites these days.

My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter's MacBook, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account? (We currently share the same Apple ID and iTunes account). Hope someone can help... Thanks

Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID. Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account? It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts. If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

When I open a link for another website Firefox opens a new tab but puts a line on the top of the new page saying that Firefox has blocked the website from transferring me to another page.
