Every time I load firesfox a "Shopt to Win 1.0.27" add on installation prompt tries to get me to install this rogue add on. I can't get rid of it. I've been looking atg it for months.

Every time I start Firefox an add -on window pops up with a question, do I want to add "Shop to Win 1.0.27" as an add-on.
I've been saying \no for months and I';m getting tired of looking at the question and having to un "X" it every tome I want o have it go away.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

  • I have created a table on pages.  Somehow I have set something so a blue dot appears every time I press he space bar.  How did I do it? and how do I get rid of it?

    two questions-- I have created a table on pages.  Somehow every time I press the space bar, I get a blue dot between words--How did I do it? and How do I get rid of it.  Also, I created a template on pages--How do I "save as" for a new file using that template?

    All you are seeing is the word space (from the spacebar).
    Menu > View > Hide Invisibles you had Show Invisibles on.
    When you are using a template it should be named "Untitled" and it will ask you to save when you go to close or you simply go to Save under the File menu.

  • Every time I open Firefox another page of Firefox opens that has adds. What can you do to help me fix this issue?

    When I boot up Firefox, my default web browser, Firefox appears and then it loads another page of Firefox that has adds. How can you help me with this issue?

    This unwanted page opens as a second tab, or as a second window? The usual cause of this problem is a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and removing bad add-ons. I know it seems long, but it's not that bad.
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. ''Don't be fooled by seemingly innocent or important names if you do not remember choosing to install them.'' Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    * in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions. (Note: you might not be able to manually Disable extensions in Safe Mode because they are disabled automatically.)
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • Help my logic keeps crashing every time I load it..

    hey I just downloaded 10.4.9 and at first my computer kept crashing then it work for a bit but now logic crashes every time I load it. I have tried to restart many times and it still crashes. Should i go back 10.4.8? And if so how do I get 10.4.8 back? Please help...

    Hi Phillip,
    first one questions - How did you update ? Was it the Software update app? If so - you need to undo it by reinstalling this:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html
    for intel
    or this for PPC
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
    If you wanna be safe dont ever use software update for system updates. Always go and get the combo updater...
    Now - though you have installed 10.4.9 already you can still install the combo updater over it... Please do so...
    When you reboot go to the following locations and delete all contents of those folders:
    Home/library/Caches
    MacHD/Library/Caches
    MacHD/System/Library/Caches
    also delete these two files
    Extensions.kextcache
    Extensions.mkext
    in MacHD/System/Library
    go to your preferences folder in your home and search for Logic - delete all Logic's preferences.
    Now repair your disk permissions again. and reboot holding atlapple+pr until you hear the chime 3 times (Intel) at least 5 times (PPC)
    Once rebooted make sure you have taken your autoload out of the folder where it resides. Now boot logic and see if it works.
    I guess that since your 10.4.8 system ran, you are dealing with a typical error of having installed the wrong updater...
    The great thing about digidesign's support forum is that they post such compatibility alerts so that their users dont get caught with their pants down:-)))
    Anyway - good luck.

  • Photoshop CS5 crashes every time I load it

    Steps you can try:
    Ensure Windows is fully up to date via Windows Update.
    Visit the web site of your video card manufacturer and download/install the latest driver for your hardware/OS.
    Update Photoshop to 12.0.4 via the direct download.
    Reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults by pressing and holding Control-Shift-Alt immediately after cold-starting Photoshop.  If you're quick enough Photoshop will prompt you to delete the preferences.
    Review any 3rd party plug-ins you may have added since reinstalling.

  • Firefox beta 18 "not responding" every time I load a page. This didn't occur as much with FF3.5.4.

    I have tried various upgrades/updates of Firefox (4 and above). I currently have Firebox beta 18. EVERY TIME I load a page, the browser will always hang and I get "Not Responding" in the status bar. The hang time is usually more than a few minutes or I'd have to end the program through the task manager. Sometimes after the freeze, I'll get a "warning: script was unresponsive" popup and then it will freeze again (I can't even press 'stop script' or 'continue') because the popup is "not responding".
    I don't seem to have this problem with FF3.5.4 (only this version has deemed compatible) however I can't view flash plugins/media or certain features of a webpage because it's not updated. Therefore I would not like to downgrade back to 3.5.4 because there's no point if I can't view half the things on a page..

    If you've updated from a version as ancient as 3.5.4, then you run the risk of encountering problems. You should start with a fresh profile to ensure old preferences, data files and changes made by extensions are not interfering.
    First, create a backup copy of your profile folder, just to be safe.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Then use the Reset Firefox feature.
    * [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    If the problem persists, see the following article.
    * [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    Do not reinstall old versions of Firefox. They contain security vulnerabilities and shouldn't be used. Very old versions might also be unable to handle data files in your profile folder in their new formats, which can lead to all sorts of problems. And lastly, many websites require a modern browser to work properly.

  • Firefox will not keep the "no proxy" setting. I have to select every time I load Firefox. How can I get it to keep the setting?

    I have to select the 'no proxy' setting every time I load Firefox. It will not keep the setting. I cannot find a way to get it to retain that information.

    Hi,
    Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved see this.] To open your profile folder: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''.
    You can also try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart'''. This is the same as deleting prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], which erases all the manually set options as well as those set by extensions.

  • Firefox was infected with a virus or spywar and now tries to pop up a certain site every time I load a new page or refresh.

    A few days ago my computer was infected with a virus from my antivirus license running out without me knowing it. Ever since then every time I load a page in firefox or refresh it a pop up window to a site that my ESET antivirus blocks comes up. This will not stop and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've deleted all temporary files on my comp and tried reinstalling firefox from scratch and still won't go away. I'm running out of things to try and not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
