Bogus web site pops up in FireFox tabs during use

I recently had some virus problems on my computer. I erased some registry entries, and Trend Micro confirmed that my virus problems were solved. However, shortly afterwards, tabs unexpectedly pop up in my FireFox browser. They all open to the same web site:
http://xn--czsp}ko!my {h-h-hta4h5c38e7b9i3da7xt65c0hf441y/
I then get a message from the browser:
"Alert The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."
This happens as many as 4 times in a row.
Could you please tell me what is going on here, and what needs to be done to stop it?
Thanks!

Gee, I guess I have another problem. I clicked to upload a screen shot of less than 200K and the spinning wheel upload progress indicator appeared to be stuck. I tried a second time but it still just continued to spin so there's no screen shot available. Sorry.

If it works in Windows Safe mode then you have a problem with other software, possibly security software or a system driver, that is running on your computer.<br />
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

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.

icon/web site popped up on the screen, i can not delete it or put it in the trash. how do i get rid of it without opening it?

Open your Browser Preferences and uncheck [√] Javascript (and Java as well if that is checked).
This will disallow any scripts, and give you back control. This works for the "FBI" ransomware as well.

How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored

Is there any way to make Firefox 4 display the web sites originally pinned in each tab upon restart of Firefox instead of the last web site viewed before ending Firefox?

After pinning a particular web site in each tab that I want to use in Firefox 4, the tabs work as expected for the initial session. However, after ending and later restarting Firefox 4, each tab starts with whatever page was displayed upon the previous close of Firefox. Upon restarting, I would like for Firefox to display the original pinned web page. Any suggestions?

You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)

I just installed 7.0.1, but when i go to open a web site, it cannot find firefox to open the web address.

I have been trouble having trouble with my browser and actually had to get to the Firefox web site by going through Safari since my shortcut was not getting me there. i saw that there was an upgrade to 7.0.1 so i downloaded it, installed it, and now i can't get in to any web sites through firefox at all. by browser says it can't find it. when it was installed, it was save to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

The problem is with desktop shortcuts or links in external programs?
First, turn off Firefox's setting to check whether it is the default. This is in the Advanced Options as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]].
Next, go to your preferred browser, and use its internal feature to have it make itself your default browser. For Internet Explorer, see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser (there is a version selector on the right side of the page if it opens for an inapplicable version)
Does that fix it?

Firefox quits after I go to a web site and open it. firefox crashes

I don't understand I just can't work with firefox. it is always quitting and crashing. and/or it says it cant find the web internet access. Plus loading takes forever
== Crash ID(s) ==
Don't ask me because it will quit if I ask for detailed instructions

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

After updating to Firefox 16, all of the saved web sites in my speed dial tabs have been deleted. How do I get them back?

All printing from Firefox (web sites, pop-ups, email) is very light. Docs (Word, iPages, etc.) and pdfs print fine. Problem with update?

Printing from Safari is good. Prints good when sent to another printer in house (not updated to 7.0.1).

Certain web sites try to open a tab for billing or other info. fire fix 3 worked fine , 4 & 5 bring up a box asking how to handle a aspx file and nothing will work. am running XP service pack 3. how do I reload 3 again?

with firefox 3 everything works fine. with 4 and 5 when I try to complete billing info I get a question about how to handle aspx files. nothing works. all I get is a new tab with a blank screen, not data no nothing. When I loaded firefox 4 and had the problem I reinstalled 3 to solve it. I hoped when 5 came along it would include a fix, no such luck. I read many questions about AOL logon that is the same as my problem and have tried all the suggestions with no luck.

What are you expecting when the aspx window comes up, a PDF or a regular web page?
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (it usually worked with Firefox 4) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

I can no longer print web site pages from my Firefox browser. I can still print web site pages from Internet Explorer.

I tried the steps in the Firefox support area of resetting Print.Print_printer but that did not work. Whenever I try tp print a webpage the print preview page is blank and it freezes up. I then have to close the browser and start over. I can print webpages from Internet Explorer.
