Growl & Notification Center conflict on Firefox: how do I remove growl ghost files?

Hi everyone,
I'm exeperiecing un unpleasent issue with Firefox. Not working appearing in Notification Center!!!!!
- I have the latest version of Firefox, so I'm sure it's supported.
- I had Growl 1.2, which is the most updated version of the "non-App store" version of the software.
- Never bothered to buy the super expensive version for the App Store.
- I removed all the software in Growl preferences so that they would appear in Notification center instead, and that worked fine, except for Firefox.
- I also uninstalled Growl, and checked the website for instructions on removing every single file (http://growl.info/documentation/growl-package-removal.php#1.2easy). But that didn't work either.
- Firefox seems to keep generating some files when I start a download in order to run growl, so even if I erase them they still show up the the Library.
- I tried reinstalling Firefox, didn't work.
- Tried reinstalling Growl 1.2, but Mountain Lion won't allow it, so I can't even reinstall it and run the uninstaller later.
What on earth am I supposed to do?
I hope someone outhere knows.
thank you

You want to Hide the app in the App Store (as seventy one suggested). This will stop you from recieving notifications about updates.
In Mountain Lion, fnd the app in Purchases. Right click on it, and choose "Hide Purchase..."

How do I remove or delete files within a document folder? I have tried dragging the files to the trash and it does not work

How do I remove or delete files and image files within a document foler? I have tried dragging the files to the trash, but that is not working.

Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a file. If the "move to Trash" option is greyed out, select "get info" and read the permissions at the bottom of the info window.
Wat are they?
Do the same for the enclosing folder - what permissions does that have?

I cannot view any weather info in iOS 7 Notification Center. Any ideas how to turn this widget on? Stocks and daily calendar are there, just not weather.

Location services are on. Weather app is installed. I can get weather info if I go to the app. That info is completely nonexistent in the pull down Notification Center.
Any ideas?

Never mind.. I turned off location services for the weather app, turned it back on and now it's magically working.

Notification center crashes - the possible fix for me - remove Twitter.

I recently updated to a new Mac, and the only issue I was having intially was Notification Center hanging and crashing the computer when I slid it over.
I don't know if others were having this problem, or just me; most of the threads I had seen about the issue were dealing with older versions of OS X (Mountain Lion or Lion) When this hang occurred, the only way around it I had was to hard-reboot the computer, or use the "KillNotificationCenter.app" I downloaded from an older post in this forum. The computer basically became entirely unresponsive, and often the Notification Center was half slid out when this happened.
It appeared at first to be more frequently an issue if I started the Notification Center right after waking up, but that ended up not being the case.
After experimenting a bit, I think I've figured out the problem (for me, at least), after playing around with things a bit. I have not had a single Notification Center crash. There may be something else at play, so I can't confirm this, but for me, all the Notification Center crashes stopped after I removed Twitter from the Notification Center. This is the default, built in Twitter from OS X, not any Twitter applications. I have not tried any of those. It was not incredibly useful for me, since it only returned a minimal amount of information, and I don't in general receive a lot of DMs or mentions, etc.
I believe what originally drove me to try this was something I saw in the crash logs, but I can't find my notes. But I can say I haven't had any problems since doing this.
Again, maybe I'm the only one, but I thought I'd pass this along in case anyone else was still having problems with Notification Center crashing.

If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

How do I remove an old file from the Finder Favorites list?

Good Afternoon.
I have a shiney new MBPro with 10.7.1.
On my old machine running Snow Leopard, I had two .xls files I used often that I had dragged to the left side into the favorites. The truth is, I hadn't used them in months, but hadn't bothered to remove them. Then about ten days ago, the Bad Thing happened, and I had to replace my laptop rather suddenly. The nice folks at the Apple store transferred all the data and I was off an running in just a few hours.
Now, I thought to myself, I should remove those two files since I don't use them any more. But how?
If I click on them nothing happens. If I right-click on them, nothing happens. I can't drag them out because they don't drag and they aren't listed on the list of favorites that can be toggled on and off in preferences.
I checked. The files did still exist but deleting them didn't remove their names from the favorites list.
Any suggestions as to how to remove these two .xls files from the Finder's Favorites list?
Thanks. A picture is below.

The msot amazing person ,just posted an answer to my other question which worked here too.
Three cheers for Kappy!
Just hold down the CMD key and drag them off. How simple is that?? They didn't klnow this at the Genius bar when I asked this morning. I am amazed.
I wish I knew how to send Kappy cookies.
Thank you Kappy.

How do I remove "All My Files" icons from the toolbar?

Good Afternoon:
I have A shiny new 15" MBPro that came preinstalled with Lion that I have updated to 10.7.1.
If I open a finder window, there are two "All My Files" icons on either side of the toolbar. I asked a Genius about it and they said they had never seen that. I can remove "All My Files" from the list of Favorites on the left easily enough. I can open up the window to customize the ToolBar, but in that window there are no "All My Files" icons available to add or delete.
How do I remove the "All My Files" icons from the toolbar?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Below is a screenshot of the problem.

Sort of surprised they didn't know. I'm lost as to why that even appeared on your computer unless you had put them there yourself which, clearly, you didn't if it was brand new out of the box.
Glad it's sorted out.

PCPowerBoost has taken over FireFox; how can I remove it?

When downloading Adobe Flash, I got a bundle of other stuff (unwanted). I was able to uninstall all but PCPowerBoost 1.0.5. That seems to have infected FireFox. When I open FireFox, the search engine that comes up is Astromendia. I deleted that from my list of programs but I believe it's embedded in PCPowerBoost. I have uninstalled and reloaded FireFox but with the same result. How can I get rid of PCPowerBoost?

Hello,
Please see one of these guides:
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-astromenda-virus/
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/astromenda-removal/
If you have already uninstalled it, likely there are just some residual files leftover. You can first check your extensions to see if that didn't get removed:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
Try running the scans outlined in the guides above (download links here as well):
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool] extension to reset some of your settings. Installing this will set your home page, new tab page, and search preferences to the default settings and then the extension will uninstall itself.

If "Special Savings" is part of Firefox, how do I remove it from my computer, if not any help would be welcome.

When browsing Ebay, on each photo there is a [See Similar] button on the window. If I just brush the button a large window opens with a group of junk items for sale. In my opinion, this is a completely worthless piece of crap that I DO NOT WANT ON MY COMPUTER.
If this is part of Firefox and I can't remove it then I guess that as much as I like Firefox, Firefox will need to be replaced.

If "Sweet" IM is "riding" in on Firefox, how is it removed from Firefox? I have removed it from my laptop via Windows Controls, but it continues to display on FB.

I recently downloaded the Sweet IM emoticon app to augment my Yahoo Messenger app. I later removed it from my list of Windows pgms using the Control Panel, remove pgms feature, and I deleted all the Sweet IM cookies. All that appears to have worked. But the Sweet IC toolbar continues to appear embedded in the body of my FB page at the top just above where new statuses are entered. It also continues to appear in all my chat windows. Any ideas on how I can get rid of these displays? They are now unnecessary page clutter. Thank you.

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, profile folders are in this location, by default:
C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.
The AppData folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
On Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7, you can also use this path to find the profile folder, even when it is hidden:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
%APPDATA% is a variable represents the C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>Application Data folder on Windows 2000/XP and the C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming folder on Windows vista and Windows 7. Image:Appdata.png
To find a profile folder in the default location on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7:
Press "Windows key Image:Windows_Key.png + R" to open the Run box
(or, you can click "Start → Run..." on Windows 2000/XP)
In the Run box, type in %APPDATA%
Click OK. A Windows Explorer window will appear.
In this window, choose Mozilla → Firefox → Profiles.
Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer.
