How come when i start my firefox i get these advertisememts. how do i stop them there is no opt out button

When I start my mozilla page i get these advertisements and can not figure out how to stop them. It causes me to click no then leave this page etc. I can not find an opt out button.Thank you for helping me.

Firefox does not have Ads included, so it is most likely either your home page, or some software (possibly a virus) that is making these adds appear.
Try to run a few programs to remove any viruses:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
After that, Run a Firefox Reset:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Then, finally, I suggest installing something like Ad-Block Plus to fully remove ads. [https://adblockplus.org .adblockplus.org]

When I start up firefox I get two windows that open in succession, one with my 'home page' and the other with the site I am seeking. How do I stop this?

This only occurs when I first open Firefox. Using tabs once I am down to one window does not open a new window.

Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

I have Firefox 3.6.2 on my Mac. There are newer ones - 4 & 5. How come when I search for updates, I get the message that there are none?

I installed the latest version of 1Password 3.6.5 but its extension is incompatible with Firefox 3.6.2. It wants Firefox 4 or 5. The 1Password extension does work, however, on my Safari 5.1 browser. I want 1Password on both browsers but Firefox is preventing this due to inability to automatically update to Firefox 4 or 5. That option is checked in the Firefox preferences.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

How come when i use personas firefox does not open to homepage, i just get a blank page?

when i use a persona firefox does not open 2 my home page, but rather to a blank page.

Thanks for responding Chris.
I hadn't restarted after disabling SearchMenu. Having restarted, it would appear that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. Which was my suspicion. Once Find highlights a "word" SearchMenu interrupts to offer its services. I guess I'll post on their board, to see if there's a solution.
I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Rookie move.
Thanks again, Chris.

How come when i plug in my ipad2 itunes gives an error "itunes has stop working"

evrytime i pen itunes it works just fine untill i plug in my ipad. everything does what it normally does untill it starts to back up. thats when itunes gives the "itunes has stop working" error. help anyone please!

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iOS: Device detected but not identified properly on iTunes for Windows

All of a sudden, when I start up Firefox, I get the 'opportunity' to go directly to such sites as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube.

I would much rather be able to reload my previous session of tabs without having to waast over an hour laboriously reloading each tab piece by piece. How do I get round this

See this, for how Set more than one website as your home page:

HT4847 I had to upgrade my iCloud storage plan, but I was still charged for the original $20 a year plan. In addition to the new $40 a year plan. How do I remove the $20 plan and get a refund? Can I stop them from charging both plans?

I upgraded my iCloud plan from $20 to $40 a year. However, I am still being charged for both plans. How do I get a refund and or remove the original $20 a year plan?

I have the exact same situation as you mattiger18. I cannot install Lion or I will disrupt programs that I run on Snow Leopard that are critical for my work. Apple is not providing a solution for us. Last time they migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud they lost months of emails and had emails bouncing to my accounts. They destroyed 8 weeks of my business. They have done it again. They have already lost several months of my emails and they are bouncing my business email. It's outrageous!
I spent thousands of $ on my software and I have no intention of installing Lion or other OS iterations. It is bad enough that Apple's service patches are crippling some of my applications. My biggest regret was not altogether getting off of iCloud and setting up all my business email on other email servers like gmail, etc. It is so outrageous what Apple is doing it is beyond words. They are supremely greedy and totally uncaring for their customers.

How come when I stop and start an audio clip before its done...

How come when I stop and start an audio clip when before its done, that when I play it it only plays part of the file?

I'm not sure if I got you right, but do you mean that it's like pausing...
I have never played an audio clip with java, but if this is the case, maybe you have to rewind the clip.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How to remove auto start of firefox plug in page

1) how to remove auto start of firefox plug in page. we do not want this site to open when openning firefox.
2) we proceeded with a few updates as requested, but firefox did not show the update once complete-still said need to update.

First of all your Flash plugin is out of date: Use Adobe's own page to test your version of the plug-in and to update it www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -- evidently the same information is not getting to the Mozilla plug-ins test. That might fix your problem if your home page uses Flash such as a news site.

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''
