How can I eliminate the constant attempt of add-ons opening in new tabs and tabs redirecting everytime I open a page or website that I DO want??
No matter what page or website I am on, as soon as I go to another website or want to open a page of my choosing, multiple unwanted pages try to open wanting me to add on, install, etc. or additionally, get tabs opening that say redirected. Result is that the whole time I spend on the net, I keep having to close 2 or 3 tabs of wanted pages constantly trying to open before I can stay on the one I actually want.
In addition, is there any way to modify or eliminate the constant popups opening on the sides, the bottom, and tops of pages...all over the place, while I'm trying to view a page. I spend more time trying to close all that junk before I can read something and then it even comes back and I have to do the same thing again.?????????
please HELP!!!!!!
Sounds like you have have inadvertently picked up a dose of Malware.
Sometimes a perceived problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.
There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:

Are you shooting raw? With what camera? And what version of Photoshop are you using to convert your images?
Seems to me Camera Raw got a LOT better about developing images without that unnatural "aura" around the time they embraced a full floating point internal workflow... As I recall that was Camera Raw version 7 (with Photoshop CS6).
Assuming you're shooting raw and not using Camera Raw version 7 or newer, do you have a raw file you can put online somewhere? I'll be happy to run it through the mill...

iCal was linked to a gmail account I canceled. When I open iCal, a message says iCal can't connect to the gmail account server. Clicking OK repeats the message. Clicking OK again causes iCal to quit. There is no opportunity to delete the link. How can I eliminate the problem server or otherwise get iCal working again? (OS 10.6.8)
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".
