Google links to Ad Sites and unrequested audio plays in background

1) When I click on links from Google searches it redirects to Ad websites...
2) When I have Internet windows open suddenly audio (that sounds like it is coming from other unopened websites) will start playing.

If it's an ad site on Google, it would probably be blocked the "Adblock Plus" with the right subscription filters, or a filter you make.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances
:the links for extensions are near the bottom of the page
That will probably stop your problem there are other things you can try:
"Stop Autoplay" extension (I have it disabled, think it would not show the first frame)
<br>media.autoplay.enabled &nbsp; user set &nbsp; boolean &nbsp; False (have that, shows up in about:config but not in about:support)
nothing for stopping autoplay in these
:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash
:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances
see [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/load-tabs-progressively/ Load Tabs Progressively], Load tabs one by one.&nbsp; Limit the number of concurrent loading tabs and/or unread loaded tabs. (too restrictive for me)
I would certainly take a look at, the second link requires Stylish extension.

  • Could firefox developers use some other company besides google to block attack sites and web forgeries. Google are leaving zombie cookies.

    Google is using the the "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" to leave a zombie cookie. This setting is under Menu/Preferences/Security. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/reviews/676076/
    Could the developers please use some other service besides google to perform this function? I want to block these issues but I don't trust google. What has google done for firefox anyway?

    If you discover anyone else offering reputation data that Mozilla could use, I'm sure someone would look into it. But I think Microsoft and the security companies might not be inclined to offer theirs for free...

  • Using Google Analytics with Muse site and /blog

    Hi there,
    I have a simple website that I have put together using Muse: movingpictureTV.com
    For the site I have added analytics code to pick up figures etc.
    The sites Wordpress blog is found at movingpictureTV.com/blog
    Does this mean I need separate tracking code to pick up data for the blog or will the code used on the main site URL pick up the blog traffic too?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Usually, when google spiders visit your site, it index all the hard coded links on the home page. However, you can add analytics code to every page. It will expedite the indexing of the pages.
    Regards,
    Aish

  • When I select a link on a site and this opens a new instance of Firefox, the link page is blank; but OK when the link is displayed in a new tab on same instance of Firefox.

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/775444]''
    This happens on many sites eg just went to Virgin Media
    http://www.broadband-finder.co.uk/broadband-directory/virgin-media/?li=3
    and tried to click on one of the 3 More Info boxes (Just Broadband, Broadband and Phone,... etc). Each time I click the More Info box, a new instance of Firefox is opened with a blank page showing and 'Untitled' in the tab heading.
    Is there a setting somewhere where I can stop these links opening a new instance - or at least display the information if they do?

    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I think I downloaded a fake Firefox update from supportfirefox.perl.sh - ever since I have had I/E popups and now audio playing with no programs running. What do I do?

    I use the Firefox Google as my homepage. I searched for something and it went to the "you need to update your firefox" so I did...then I realized that it wasn't processing the update the way a normal update from Firefox would. Ever since then, I have had Internet Explorer PopUps and now I have audio running even though there is no program for it to be running on...like a webpage running in the background.

    Do a full scan with your Anti-Virus application.
    Then do scans with different Malware applications.
    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />

    Firefox 11. Although the same problem happened in earlier versions.

  • On the PCH slot machine site, Firefox continues to play the background audio from one game to the next until all the audio is playing at the same time.

    Firefox isn't crashing and there aren't any error messages. V19 just installed today. It was doing this in v18 as well.

    This may be a problem with the plugin-container process.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

  • Suddenly, the security warnings have changed. The look, the option to temporarily allow data from a site, and videos are playing automatically. Is there a way to restore default settings? Did the most recent update jusdt change how these items work?

    Is there a way to reset items so they appear as they did last week?

  • Links between some pages and pdf's not working: muse

    I have two sites with the same muse business catalyst name for preview. How do I create different names? Is it necessary to preview site?
    I am have a lot of pages that no longer link on both sites and I cannot get pdf's to link. Please help?
    erin pashelinsky

    Hi Erin
    I believe you have published same Muse file with 2 sites on Business Catalyst , you can update the same sites with the modifications you made in Muse.
    In publish window , click on options and select the same site from drop down , publish the site and old pages will be replaced with new content that you have added in Muse.
    Thanks,
