Every time I access the internet through Firefox I get a box with the message "Firefox could not download the search plugin ///c:/Users/Patton/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/b2qcb69.default/extensions". How do I get rid of this thing? Thanks

How do I get rid of or fix this problem?

Thanks - I just deleted the ASK toolbar - don't use it anyway. It fixed the issue - thanks again.

  • How come File : C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\F\Profiles\h4n7abn.default\prefs.js still registers as infection even though uninstalled Firefox?

    Already asked but at the time did not register to see if any reply forthcoming, so here is the simple question again:
    "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\h4nh7abn.default\prefs.js" keeps coming up on my computer as a malware item even though I have completely uninstalled Firefox.
    How can this be?!?
    I uninstalled all Firefox remnants with a good uninstaller. Re-booted. I've also run scans, including the JRT scan recommended on another mozilla support page, yet it still keeps coming back as though Firefox is still on my computer, even in relation to the "JRT scan"... This is weird...what to do?
    --Avast antivirus, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Hitman Pro, JRT scanner, CCleaner, etc., installed, Vista - 32 bit.

    Sounds like a false positive.<br />
    The prefs.js file only stores modified prefs and no code (data) that can run and be harmful that way.
    It is usually best to exclude the Firefox profile folder from scanning to prevent such software from corrupting files in the Firefox profile folder.

    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • TS2756 iam using iphone 4S with win 7 PC and i cannot connect to the internet through my phone but i tried with my other 4S and it works but what should i do for the first iphone 4S???

    iam using iphone 4S with win 7 PC and i cannot connect to the internet through my phone but i tried with my other 4S and it works but what should i do for the first iphone 4S???
    as i said i have two iphone 4S,,,,,
    1st one --- has os 5.1
    2nd one has os 6.0
    i tried 2nd one with carrier reliance gsm nd it works with that personal hotspot setting using USB...
    but i want to connect the first 4S with carrier TATA DOCOMO GSM but its not working with the same USB feature????
    plz reply asap...!!!
    thnxxx in advance!!!

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Firefox could not download the search plugin from

    I have installed Firefox 24.0 recently and I am trying to install youtube Search Engine by opening www.youtube.com and clicking the Add "YouTube Video Search" in the search toolbar , but I get the following error message:
    Download Error
    Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
    http://www.youtube.com/opensearch?locale=en_GB
    Is it a Firefox problem, or a youtube error?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I don't want to install addon for youtube search. I just wanted to know if I can install the youtube search engine as before.
    After some reading on the internet I found that search engine is described by a small XML file that is available through a link on the page. All other pages with working search engines like Wikipedia or IMDb generates XML content or refers to XML file. But the link of youtube opensearch descriptor points to an opensearch.osdx file.
    I don't know if it is the extension, or if there is unsupported tag in it but Firefox is not willing to handle it and add youtube to the search engines.
    I found this page: http://www.tobtu.com/customsearch.php I copied the relevant tags to the input fields and added YouTube Video Srearch. Now it works fine.
    But the question remains: is it Firefox that cannot handle youtube's sandard opensearch descriptor or is it youtube.com that provides a faulty descriptor?

  • I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

    I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S.  I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".  I just purchased the iPhone 4S today so I know it's not the phone.  How can I get my information back?

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • Safari could not download the file "Firefox 20.0.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.

    What does this error message mean. I have pleanty of free disk space - Safari could not download the file “Firefox 20.0.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.

    That misleading error message can be the result of moving a download while it's in progress. Right-click the download package and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. The file you downloaded may be in the folder that opens.

    If you are using Windows 7, go to:
    Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
    Look for a program called 'Apple Mobile Device Support'
    Right-click on it
    Click 'repair'
    Wait until the repair operation is complete, and voila, your problem should be solved, itunes will recognise your iphone/ipod once more. This worked for me.

    I just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
    I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
    If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
    1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
    2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
    3. No visual voicemail
    4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
    We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
    Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
    Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
    We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
