Firefox 4 upgrade how do I reset Yahoo toolbar as its does not appear in dropdown VIEW list? Also Norton Internet Security 2011 does not flag up safe/unsafe sites on browser. Help

Just upgraded to Firefox 4. My Yahoo toolbar has disappeared and I can't work out how to reset it as it does not appear in the View drop-down list. Also NIS 2011 no longer flags up safe/unsafe sites when browsing.
Thanks

For the Yahoo toolbar, make sure you have the latest version that is compatible with Firefox 4, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • Why i can use my norton internet security 2011 toolbar in firefox 4 beta9?

    i cant use norton internet security in web when i use firefox 4.

    I spoke to Norton today and according to them they are working on getting the Phishing Protection bar and other things working on Firefox 4.

  • My Norton Tool Bar became deleted somehow. I need it so my Norton Internet Security Auto Fill feature will work. How do I get this back on the menu bar?

    My Firefox Browser page use to have a Norton Safe Search Bar within the tool bar area. It has to be active thereon otherwise the Auto Fill feature of Passwords for websites I visit - which require my user name AND password - will not be filled in automatically by the Norton Internet Security 2011 software that I have on my computer.
    My Question: HOW do I get that Norton Search Bar back on my Firefox Browser Page?

    I had the same problem before, but i figured it out. This answer might be a bit late now....
    1. Open the Norton program.
    2. Scroll under PC protection and select Run Live Update
    3. Repeat step 2 until there isn't anymore updates available.
    4. Restart the PC
    5. Open Firefox browser
    6. If the toolbar isn't there, press Ctrl+shift+A
    7. Under extensions enable the Norton toolbar.

  • Does Firefox disable my current Norton Internet Security?

    If Firefox is the security software for Google Chrome, what happened to my current security software, Norton Internet Security 2011, for my Windows default browser, Bing? How do I enable Norton Internet Security 2011 for Google Chrome?

    One other note. Firefox allows two situations in which some or all toolbars may be hidden:
    * Full Screen Mode. The F11 key switches between normal view and full screen view.
    * Script-generated windows. Sometimes when you click a link you launch a window that does not have all of the features of a normal window. This allows sites to present a simplified display, more like a dialog box. If this happens, pressing Ctrl+n should always open a normal window with the full complement of controls.

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • How do I remove yahoo toolbar I didn't install from Firefox, 4 is clean. I like clean.

    Just recently started using FireFox 4. Is a great browser and I intend to install in my new computer later this afternoon. How do I remove/delete yahoo's toolbar? Yahoo is my email but I don't need their toolbar messing up FireFox.

    I removed it by clicking on the "Tools" menu, then select "Add-Ons." Once the list populates, click on "Extensions," then locate the Yahoo Toolbar. Off to the right hand side you can click either "Disable" or "Remove." I disabled it, restarted Firefox 4.0 and no annoying Yahoo toolbar :)

  • Firefox 34 and Norton Internet Security (Version 21 ff) Don't Like Each Other and It's Not the Toolbar!

    I have discovered that Norton Internet Security (and Norton 360 as well) version 21 and after conflicts with Firefox version 33.0 and later. I have been running the latest Firefox 34 version. When I upgraded on two of my computers to the latest version of NIS (version 21) Firefox (version 34) froze; indeed it locked up the entire computer. I therefore installed Google Chrome and everything worked fine. I can reproduce this error with Firefox like the flip of a switch; it is very consistent! The conflict, by the way, does not go away by disabling the Norton toolbar. I want to continue to use Firefox, and not Chrome, but I don't want the browser to freeze the machine. I run Windows 7 Professional. Do you have any suggestions?

    Oh... I spoke too soon. I went into my office today and ran Norton 360 (Version 21.6) and Firefox 34.0.5 thinking that all would be well because I shut off Hardware Acceleration. Boy, was I wrong. Norton 360 crashed with the Windows message: "Norton 360 has stopped working; it will be shut down." I immediately shut down the computer (even though someone was actually in my office at the time), rebooted, no longer ran Firefox and did a complete virus scan. All is well if I do not use Firefox 34. And so.... I am going to make my life easier and simply move over to Chrome at least on my office machine. I just don't see any other way out of this predicament. I do this reluctantly because Chrome is much slower than Firefox is especially the way I run it. Firefox 34 and NIS Version 21.6 just don't like each other.
    Thanks for your help. It's been a good thread even though I could never figure this out.
    Needs more help.

  • How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
    Before you do the above check out the following;
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.

  • HT1212 How can i reset my iphone 4s if i forgot my restriction passcode and apple id password and security question answer

    Hello guys..
    How can i reset my iphone 4s IF i forgot my restriction passcode, and apple id password AND security question answer?..
    AND I also forgot the email that i used to create the apple id.. Thats why i cant reset my password using the "email authentication"...
    PLEASE HELP.. Thanks... I cant use my iphone properly.. im stock with my OLD Apple id..

    Its simple - if you honestly cannot remember a single piece of security information associated with the account, or even the name of the AppleID itself, the only possability of help is to call Apple and ask them if there is anything they can do.  There is nothing anyone here or elsewhere can possible do to help you.
    Apple offers several means of ensuring you can recover an account or AppleID, but if you cannot remember a single one of those security features, then only Apple can, if at all possible, help you and only then if you pick up a telephone and talk to them.
    The strong odds are that even Apple will not help you.  I know that with the two step verification option, if you cannot at least remember two of the three security features used with that system, they will tell you the account is simply lost to your for good.  They can only be help responsible for helping you recover information up to a point - at some point, it all comes down to you remebering at least some of your own information.

  • How do I get rid of Norton Internet Security?  Migration assistant problem

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I used a firewire connection and migration assistant to transfer files. Unfortunately, the assistant transferred all my applications, even the ones I didn't want, like Norton Internet Security, which slowed down my old G4. I deleted all the Norton files, but there are still icons for Norton Auto protect and Norton Quick Menu on my System Preferences menu. I'm afraid they are responsible for the messages I get on booting up saying the system detects Norton but can't open the application. I'm also afraid its the reason that suddenly my new superfast MacPro is less fast. I can't figure out how to delete it from the system preferences - any ideas?

    Please let me reassure you. There are NO viruses effecting OSX to date. There was one virus effected OS9 ten years ago, but nothing since. The fear of viruses is a residual effect from using that other OS, which shall remain nameless, but not shameless. The only danger a Mac user faces is, spreading a virus through a network by forwarding junk emails with an infected attachment, not that anybody is that stupid, or are they? If you are using one of the main email providers, Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc, all he attachments are scanned automatically as these organizations cannot afford to have viruses in their systems.
    In a nutshell: Relax and enjoy the freedom of using a Mac.
    Furthermore: Most ex-users of the nameless OS feel the need to run defrag programs on Macs. Unnecessary! Just leave your Mac turned on overnight and it will do it itself.
    You may remember the Mac slogan, 'Think Differently'. Well, Macs do!
    Enjoy your clean install.

  • Firefox either closes suddenly when I click on the address bar after startup or it hangs and also blocks internet explorer from loading

    On my Windows XP sp3 system the current the last two releases of Firefox both exhibit the same behavior. When I launch Firefox it will either shutdown within seconds with no crash reporter or other error logged or it will hang completely and indefinitely. When it hangs it also blocks internet explorer 8 from loading. I have tried and followed all the steps in the crashing FAQ including safe mode, uninstalls, re-installs, profile deletes (even the profile dialog closed suddenly). I use Norton Internet Security version 18.6.0.29. A full virus scan does not find any problems. I have disabled all toolbars, plugins and addons and the problem persists. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera all work fine. Only occasionally does Firefox load and keep running. It's as if it is failing on some check at startup and either crashes or hangs most of the time.

    That is a Flash Player that plays an MP3 file.
