Every once in a while my Firefox just jumps to Yahoo! and displays Yahoo! 404 - Page Not Found handler

When I type in a URL in the address bar, for example http://www.LinkedIn.com sometimes I am forced to Yahoo!.com and an error is displayed:
Yahoo! 404 Page not found
Sorry, the page you were looking for could not be found
Showing related results for: http://websearch.ask.com/redirect?client=ff&src=kw&tb=FW...

Under "Tools" on your Firefox browser, select Add-Ons. On the Add-Ons page, select the Extensions tab. Scroll through the list until you find the Yahoo toolbar add-on. Disable, and then remove the add-on. I've had no problems since I did this earlier this evening. Easy fix!

    I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
    Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
    404: Page not found 
    This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
    Troubleshooting suggestions:
    Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • Error message of "404 - page not found" after downloading and installing Firefox 15

    Error message of "404 page not found" after downloading the latest version of Firefox.

    This sometimes is the result of firewall software protecting you from changed applications. Or it might be something else. Can you review this article and see whether it helps: [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]].

  • Without any prompt from me, Firefox is continually redirecting itself and displaying a 404 Error message. What can I do to correct this?

    Upon laptop start-up, with Firefox as my web browser, I generally visit news sites beginning with with CNN. Aside from updating Adobe Acrobat Reader to the X version, I have not added anything to my laptop (A Sony Vaio A/W series 64 bit operating with Windows 7) recently, but I am continuously being redirected via the 404 error message without clicking or while reading an article. Firefox has also been crashing daily despite efforts to keep the cache clean and a minimum of programs running during use. I use Norton 360 for antivirus protection and update daily and have not found any bugs to suggest adware or malware. I do have Chrome loaded as a secondary browser, but Firefox has been my browser of choice until recently. Help.

    Hello WhiteDove2043, try to UNCHECK the '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''', go from : Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab > Accessibility > Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page [ ]. Don't forget to click OK to save it.

    Have you checked port in Netweaver Administration?
    See which port is mentioned there. (If you are using PI 7.1)
    Check in SXMB_ADM transaction, and in your RFC Destination, where it is pointing.
    Thanks,

  • Why is Firefox continuously defaulting to Yahoo 404 while I'm on a selected site and haven't directed any action?

    Whenever I use Firefox and open a selected site (CNN, MSNBC, Sports Illustrated, etc), without any prompting on my part, Firefox defaults to the Yahoo 404 page. I go back to my desired page but an continuously redirected to the 404 page. I have cleared my cache, my history, and even reloaded Firefox (I'm using 6.01) but the results are the same.

  • Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols.  Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center.  I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

    Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center.  I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

    A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
    First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

    I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting).  My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't.  I am super frustrated at this point.  So any suggestions would be great.  Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

  • RMBP - external screen turns black for a few seconds every once in a while

    My external screen (Dell U2711) connected via Thunderbolt to Displayport cable turns black every once in a while. The rMBP is in clamshell mode. When it starts it randomly blackens the screen for 2 seconds with an interval of 10 seconds to 5 minutes. A restart usually fixes the issue but it keeps coming back after some time.
    Has anybody here experienced something similar?
    What can be the cause of that?
    This really starts to annoy me, because it seems I have to do reboot everytime I connect my laptop to my screen.

    Never had the sort of problem - but then I've an Apple Thunderbolt Display and it just 'works'.
    Could be that you're adapter is shot. You could buy a (or some) new ones from Monoprice (much cheaper than what Apple's third-party solutions sell for) and see if that's the problem.
    Sorry I can't offer a more helpful solution...

  • The new iPad looses conection to cell every once in a while

    The New iPad looses cell connection every once in a while even thought my iPhone stays connected constantly. M carrier is AT&amp;T for both the iPad and the iPhone. It just goes into searching more for a couple of minutes and then it connects again.

    First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen.  Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left.  Does the flashlight work?  If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
    If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.

  • Z87 MPOWER: the motherboard hangs up at code A2 every once in a while

    I just built this computer...my first build in about ten years.
    the motherboard hangs up at code A2 every once in a while. 4 out of 10 reboots it wont post and gets stuck at A2..... if it makes it past that it works fine. 
    I searched and that code appears to be SATA related. I swapped sata cables, no effect.. I'm using the cables that came with the Mpower mobo.
    Computer spec:
    MSI MPOWER Z87
    i7 4770K processor
    2x Crucial Ballistix Tactical 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 8 Dual Channel Kit 1866 (PC3 15000)

    Quote from: demo slug on 16-December-13, 15:25:03
    I've already swapped cables....
    I've got a better handle on the symptom. and its very repeatable.
    It only posts when I use the reset button.
    A power on or reboot from windows will hang it at A2.
    it wasn't doing this when I first built it... but I installed a bunch of drivers. for the mobo and the video card.
    For the mainboard drivers, using Live Update or did you download and install them manually?

  • Most of the times my saved tabs open, but every once in a while they don't and I lose them

    I usually have a bunch of links open, so I have the settings set so my previous tabs always open. Most of the time, they do. Every once in a while, like today, though, Firefox decides to open to my home page instead. I never know when it is going to do this, so I never know which links to save in case it happens. Often, therefore, I lose several of the links I had open.

    The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager] add-on may be helpful - it uses a more complete and fail-proof method, generally, and has a number of advanced features for session management.

    If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?
