Unwanted urls load every time I open a new Safari window. How do I stop this? Is this spyware?

I have 4 unwanted urls that load every time I open a new Safari window. How do I eliminate this? Are these spyware or other malicious code?
I have trashed cache.db, history.plist and LastSession.plist and these did not solve the problem. Thanks for any help I can get.

b noir,
That looks like where they are. How did this toolbar appear? Can I remove the entire toolbar?

I'm having trouble keeping up with this topic ... every time I've finished a post, there's three or four new replies showing up and the troubleshoot has moved on.
The toolbars can be (silently) installed by a number of different packages/websites, although I fear I'm well behind the times on what packages/websites are most commonly installing them for folks nowadays. There's a lot of variations about, as it's a platform rather than a specific application:

I'll defer to Carolyn on the state-of-the-art when it comes to removing the toolbars.

Every time I open a new Safari page, it loads the one(s) that are already open, instead of taking me to a new start page.

Every time I open a new Safari page on my MacBook Pro, it load the one(s) that are already open, instead of a new page. it's 8.0.2. I already went to Preferences and it says new page will open to Favorites....but it doesn't.

Hello beany1818,
Also check in Safari Preferences and look in the Safari Opens with and make sure that it is set to “with a new window” and not “all the windows from your last session”. Take a look at the article for more information.

Every time I open a new Firefox window a dowload dialog box opens

Every time I open a new Firefox window, a download dialog box opens with the last youtube .flv file that I converted to an mp3 from www.flv2mp3.com and the box offers the options to open it or save it. I have to click cancel it every time (or try opening it or saving it) to make it to go away. If I open a new tab or new window while I still have the original window open, it doesn't do it. Is this a glitch in Download Helper or did I get a never ending script from flv.com, or what?

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window

I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.

i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.
thanks. Alex Dove

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I accidentally let Firefox download the version 7 update. Unfortunately I do not want to install it. Now every time I open firefox it asks to install the update. How do I get it to stop?

I have nothing to add.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder. 
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml that stores the update history, if present.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page 
'''about:blank''' - blank page 
'''url''' - a page that you want

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.

Black window is open in background every time I open a new file

Hi There,
Every time I open a new file in photoshop CS6, it forces another window in the background to open.
Please can you tell me how to disable this, as it is very annoying and I hate working in tabs.
Also, how do I open all new files at 100%?
Thanks

I do not use a Mac but I do use floating windows on a PC. I also know that there is some way to turn off Photoshop's main windows frame on a Mac. That frame may be what you see as the black window. Try turning off Photoshop's frame.
To have Photoshop Open new and existing documents from Photoshop's are 100% you need to set up a open event and have ir use an Action or Script the will set view actual pixels 100% zoom. Look a menu File>scripts>Script Events Manager.... that is where you enable events and set up their handlers.

Why is every time I open something in safari it will always opening a new tab?

Why is every time I open something in safari it will always opening a new tab?

Ordinarily a link will open in the same tab, however, the website can specify that a new tab is to be created.
Of course, you can specify that you want a new tab if you press and hold on the link and select open a new tab.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, then an addon (like noscript or autofill) is causing this - you'll have to change that in the extension's preferences...
