How can I re-install FF without any imports from other browsers?

I initially installed FireFox because supposedly it allows me to run Sky Go which sadly Chrome no longer does. When I did so, I thought it would be wise to allow it to import my bookmarks etc. However, since I was not able to run Sky Go, they suggested that I unistall FireFox and reinstall it without any imports, this I have now tried twice without success to do; hence this question. All help gratefully received and greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon Fred,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I had to re-think the sequence of events yesterday following very helpful support from the Sky Go team.
Sky Go had originally been installed on my laptop because I used it with Chrome.
Sadly and somewhat unexpectedly, (like overnight) last week, Sky Go no longer worked with Chrome. My first on-line Chat with Sky revealed that this was due to an upgrade by Chrome and it should soon be once again available; however, after a week, when it had not been resolved I contacted them again. I should say that in the meantime, Sky Go continues to work very well with Internet Explorer.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed FireFox with the option ticked to import bookmarks etc. when Sky Go was still loaded on the laptop. However, upon the advice of the Sky go Adviser, I did uninstall both Sky Go and Firefox, and reinstalled the FireFox and the FireFox version of Sky Go and when this did not work, repeated the attempt. Again the adviser was incredibly patient and helpful. He put this down to the original installation of FireFox during which I exercised the import bookmarks etc. option; hence my question. Is there any way I can reinstall Firefox now without it remembering that I originally chose to include the import option?
In the meantime, I continue to use IE for Sky Go but think I would really like to use FireFox instead.
I hope that this information will help you to help me Fred, and thank you for your kind attention and assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Sharon Pendorf

  • How can I re-install firefox without losing my data. It is Infested with ADS BY bame.

    Firefox is infested with "Ads by name".
    How can I get rid of it or how can I
    Re-Install firefox without losing any data?

    Couple other suggestions:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Add/Remove Programs. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface innocent sounding bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Also, could you check whether Firefox has a non-standard '''connection setting'''? You can do that here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default "Use system proxy settings" should piggyback on your Windows/IE "LAN" settings. But you can try "No proxy" to see whether that makes any difference.
    Finally, our support article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] lists '''cleaning tools''' other Firefox users have found useful. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • How can you search this forum without searching all the other forums

    how can you search this forum without searching all the other forums at the same time which is a big fat waste of time.

    Follow this tip to create a bookmark to a search page that searches only the forum you want or...
    Browse with Firefox and enable this Greasemonkey script, which forces all searches from a sub-forum to be local.

  • How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    I am making a book in Aperture 3.  I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page.  How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below.  So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up).  If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted.  This seems unwieldy.  I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album.  The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page.  This seems to call for an extra step.

  • How can I re-install iTunes without losing my music?

    For some reason or another, I haven't been able to update iTunes for a long time now. I want to reinstall it but I am afraid I will lose all of my music.
    How can I delete iTunes and still keep all my songs?
    Thanks
    btw...I have iTunes currently on an external hard drive so it doesn't eat up space on the computer.

    just go to the store and log into your home country's store again.
    It happened to everyone's update I think. Just different countries.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize information imported from media as audiobook vs album?

    I imported a series of audio cd's that contained lecture material into iTunes.  It sees these disks as albums not as a single set of audiobook portions.  Therefore, everytime I listen to a portion of the lecture material, I have to remember exactly what disk and track I left off on.  However when working with audiobooks, iTunes apparently knows to place a bookmark where I left off so that when I choose the book, it starts where I left off.  How can I get this behavior for my lectures?

    If they're MP3, use iTunes to convert them to AAC (M4A) and then use a batch renamer to change the extension to M4B. THEN they'll stay where you left off.
    If they're AAC already, then just change the extension to M4B.

  • How can i make Distiller autoname file ( when exprting from other application?)

    hello everyone,
    i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
    we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.
    in the preferencesd i unchecked ( ask for PDF .. ) but the problem is that all files saved were overwritten because distiller was imporing the file name from Laser Fich!
    how can I make distiller ( autoname files like 0001 0002 0003 and so on) ?
    forgot to tell you that i am using acrobat version 5 ( and windows xp + laser fiche at work )
    thanks in advance

    thanks Bill@VT -
    it didn't work
    I opened the properiteis of the distiller and uncheck the ( prompt for the PDF file name) so that the distiller can save files automatically . it did but by overwriting the files because the original files in the LASER FICHE have same names so the distiller saved one file only by overwriting ....that's why i want to make distiller to name files when saving them ( the distiller are imorting the files from Laser fiche only but i want it to autoname them )
    i also opened distiller properites and unchecked the ( ask to replace existing PDF filename ) the distiller was always asking me to replace file ! and I can't do it this way because I have more than 100.000 docuents!
    sorry , I know this is a very difficult question
    but I would very happy if you can help me

  • SCCM 2012 R2 CU4, how can we make sure clients without any CU upgrade will continue to communicate?

    Hi,
    We're about to upgrade the SCCM 2012 R2 server from CU1 to CU4. However no clients were ever upgraded (don't even have CU1). Is there any way(matrix or other) we can assure ourselves clients will keep on communicating (f.e. for SCCM R2 CU4, clients need at
    least to be at CU1)?
    Please advise.

    Go through each one and see for yourself. Note that they are cumulative so you only need to deploy the latest. CU4 contains all the others. The issues that are fixed are listed.

  • How can I display Flash Videos without any Flex application decoration

    I develop a flv video player with Flex3 and have problems to
    get rid of the application decoration (frame, border and the like)
    that is part of a standard Flex application. My video player is
    200px x 200px and I only wanna see what the video shows, so that
    the Flex application allocates 200px x 200px.
    It is not clear to me if this can be reached through special
    tags resp. attributes or if I have to do something in the CSS
    area.

    copy and compile this one taken from www.theflexteam.com with
    a couple of extra things, is that it?:

  • How can I get a date without the hour from sql server 2000 ?

    hellou!
    I have a JTable, and one of it's columns has to show a date. This date i have to show is specified as datetime on the Sql Server 2000 database where I have to take the data.
    the query of the dataset attached to the JTable is something like "select * from Table".
    The problem is that the JTable column that displays the date shows the date and the hour, for example:
    7/10/04 0:00:00
    and I need to show the date without the hour, only the 7/10/04. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    thank you very much! : )

    The easiest way to format a date is with java.text.SimpleDateFormat. When creating it you pass a format string which can be used to parse or format date objects.
    SimpleDateFormat formater = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yyyy" );
    // Get date objects directly from sql
    Date foundDate = result.getDate( 1 );  //where result is the ResultSet and 1 is the date column
    String formatedDate = formater.format( foundDate );Now the JTable's table model can be adjusted to store a formated String instead of a Date. If for some reason it is required to store the value as a Date overload the table model to return the formated string when getValueAt is called.

  • How can I move an email without deleting it from iCloud server?

    I have local rules on my Mac to move emails from certain people into their own local folders, and sound a unique alert.  The problem is that it appears that moving it causes it to be deleted from iCloud's IMAP server, and therefore not delivered to my iOS devices.
    When I changed the rule to copy rather than move, I'm left (of course) with duplicate emails in the local Inbox folder.
    I tried creating iCloud Mail folders and using iCloud Mail rules to move certain emails into those folders.  The problem is that I can't sound the alert: it appears that Mac Mail rules only apply to mail coming directly into the Inbox.  (Also, only iCloud Inbox items get 'pushed' -- the mail in my John folder can only be retrieved when Mac Mail polls every N minutes.)
    I'm new to IMAP, so I may have missed the solution.  Can anyone suggest how, using iCloud Mail, I can:
    See the same email in my Mac and all my iOS devices
    Automatically route certain email to special folders and sound an alert, at least on the Mac
    Thanks-
    Chap

  • How can I delete an .ics that I imported from FaceBook?

    Ok so I had an event planned on Facebook, and I was wondering if there was a way to add it to my IPad/Iphone calendar without having to enter all the info again. I found on Facebook you can export an event. It gives you the option to export to a calender (example, google calendar or Outlook) or to export to an email address. Since I do not use any online calendars or Outlook I selected email. I emailed the event to myself and then I opened the email using my Ipad 2. It gave me the option to add to my calendar and I did. I thought this was really cool, until I updated my event on Facebook (I added more people and I made some comments on the event). I then tried to see if I could just update the calendar and not only can I not update it, I can't delete it either. On my calendar where it normally says "edit", it says "details". I'd really like to get this off my IPad 2/Iphone 4s calendar now and I can't figure it out.
    Please HELP.
    Thanks

    Have you tried tapping on the icon to see if you can pause the download, then tap it again to resume the download?
