How can I get rid of multiple tabs when I open Yahoo

When I open Yahoo.mail, I get many tabs for Yahoo.
I should only get one.
How do I fix this so I'm not getting all these tabs. This started when I switched from Mail Classic to the New Mail & back again. Many of the excess tabs are for the Yahoo page that describes the two different versions of Yahoo mail.
I'm using a MacBook & both Yahoo & Mozilla are up-to-date.
Thanks!

The suggestions didn't work HOWEVER I found a solution to my issue with this. So far it seems to work.
Go into Firefox Preferences>general
I reset the opening page from Yahoo In Box (which seemed to be the problem) to the default. Opened it all up then returned to Firefox Preferences & reset it back to Yahoo In Box.
Now it seems to be working ok without all those nasty tabs slowing me down.

how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

How can I get rid of a vertical ad section in Yahoo games that has popped up on the right and takes 30% of the game window away. I can't get rid of it.

A few days ago, Yahoo decided to put up a vertical section on the right side of the game window that takes up 30% of the screen in the game. I have not been able to get rid of it.
I asked the Yahoo Customer Care rep and she said that it is not supposed to happen as the game should not be stopped by the ads and that I should try with another Browser. I tried it with Chrome and that ad section was not there with Chrome.
I was told that it was probably a browser issue and I did disable most of the add-ons and plug-ins but it did not work.
Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of that vertical ad section?

This problem is not a pop-up. First of all the problem did not start until Yahoo changed their set up for ads in Yahoo Games.
Once it did start, the ads do not "pop-up", it is a vertical bar that is there all the time. You cannot get rid of it.
By the same token, it is not a Yahoo Problem since the problem does not exist using another server.
Yahoo says it has to do with some add-ons or plug-ins in Firefox that is causing the problem.
As you can see by the screen picture, one third of the game screen has a vertical ad area. I want to get rid of it.

How can I get rid of multiple versions of the iTunes Folder

I am using Windows 7 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Multiple iTunes folders have been created on my computer (on both my C: drive and my D: drive under Users and My Documents) and they all have different content. Some albums show up in one instance of the iTunes\iTunes media\music folder and some show up in another. How do I get all the content synched up? Can I simply drag and drop all these iTunes folders into D:\My Documents\My music\iTunes (the D: drive being where I store all my documents and photos) and then delete the rest of the iTunes instances?

Several remedies may apply:
For media files that are correctly linked from your iTunes Library, i.e., they will play without reporting something like this:
you can make sure that everything is contained within your main iTunes folders by selecting File > Library > Organize Library... and when you get this prompt:
check the Consolidate files box and, if not greyed out, the Reorganize files ... box and then click OK. This will move any media files that are in other locations to the folders under the setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced:
This is the location of your media folder. By default, this will be C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, where your iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file) is stored in C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes. In general that relationship between the database and the media folders should be preserved - in the example above the complete library is stored on a external drive, with the database in K:\iTunes and the media folder location being K:\iTunes\iTunes Media. Note that this setting doesn't tell iTunes where to find media files (that info is embedded in the database); rather, this setting determines where new media is placed within the media folders.
Checking this causes iTunes to automatically place media in folders, and (re)name media files, based on the metadata associated with the files. For music this means that everything will be in folders following the pattern iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_title and files to be named using the disc number (if present), track number and song name.
Checking this makes iTunes copy all new media into the media folders, independent of the method of adding it.
Second case ...
For songs that are listed in your library but you do get the "missing file" error, right-click on one of these songs - there will be a "(!)" symbol next to its name, right-click > Get Info. When you get this prompt:
click No (there's a bug in iTunes 12 such that you actually have to click No twice). Then go to the File tab and look for the Location information - sometimes you have to scroll down or expand the editor window to see it. You'll see something like this:
The "file://localhost/" prefix indicates that iTunes can't locate the file. The rest of the entry is the path to the file that iTunes holds in its database, i.e., where iTunes "thinks" the file is. This may be enough of a clue to determine where it actually is - close the editor, right-click > Get Info again, but when you the "... cannot be located ..." prompt click Yes then navigate to and select the correct media file. In many cases iTunes will then be able to adjust its location info for other songs. Otherwise there are a number of techniques that you can use to track down and repair these broken links - often using scripts running against the iTunes database.
... and the third case:
If you have folders that are labeled as "iTunes" but their content doesn't appear in your library within iTunes itself, add these to the library by any of these methods:
select File > Add Folder to Library... then navigate to and select the folder(s) containing the "missing" albums/songs
drag and drop these folders from Windows Explorer into iTunes
copy these folders into iTunes' Automatically Add to iTunes folder
Once you've been through these steps its probably worth running the Consolidate Library process again to make sure everything's in the right place. Once you've checked that to be the case, you can delete any stray "iTunes" folders that are outside the hierarchy rooted in the folder where your database and your standard iTunes Media files are located.
Two final points:
Moving files and folders around yourself never fixes anything in iTunes - in most cases it'll only make things worse by creating (more) broken links
A couple of turingtest2's valuable user tips also apply here:
Make a split library portable describes the optimal layout for an iTunes library, easing the processes of moving it between computers and maintaining a backup of it, as well as the steps needed to bring a library into that shape
Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy describes a suitable/recommended method to create and maintain a backup ... when you've gone through the effort to make your library just exactly perfect you don't want to lose it all as the result of a virus, hard disc crash, or other fatal failure!

In can't get rid of new tabs/popup windows opening up

I cant get rid of pop up windows. Whenever I am on a web page a new tab will open up and will be some sort of advertisement. I have run CC Cleaner, McAfee, Spybot and advanced system cleaner several times. My pop up blocker is on and there are no exceptions listed under it. I also have the adblockplus addon installed but they still keep hijacking my browser. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and still nothing. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

TS3899 How can I get rid of a wrong email count on inbox?

I have set up my BT email account in settings, and it works fine. Except that although the inbox if empty there's a constant icon on the home screen showing 13 emails in the box. I can't get rid of this, even though I have set up the email twice now. What's going on and how can I get rid of the score when the box is empty? It just counts up from 13. (ipad mini)

Thanks.
I tried that, waited for the Apple to appear. But when the home screen appeared - just the same. So I deleted the account (bt internet). Re-set as before. Then set up the account again. still have 13 emails showing and nothing in the in box. Annoying. I think this is because I delete some (13?) emails from the online access to the inbox (on a laptop) but it's out of synch with the ipad. Neither account has any emails but the ipad thinks it's got 13 I have deleted. But they are not there!!!
Thanks anyway.

ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

Yesterday, a search tab comes on when I start firefox. How can I get rid of it?

I seldom use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. starting yesterday, when I opened firefox A search tab is present. A single tab is also present. The search tab is very similar to the search button on the right of the navigation bar. So it is redundant.
How can I get rid of this search tab?

Can you uninstall the "Default Tab" extension as that is considered malware and is causing this search bar? 
Otherwise just disable this extension.

Every time I start the internet two tabs open, the firefox welcome page and my normal search page. How can I get rid of the firefox tab as I don't want this everytime I open the internet

How can I turn off the Firefox tab before it opens. At the moment everytime I start the Internet two tabs open. I want to turn off the firefox tab before it opens.

Hi davesummers,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.
