How did FACEBOOK get details of an obituary search I made in order to suggest me as a friend to a relative of the deceased?

Only one day after I searched for the obituary of my spouse's deceased relative, Facebook suggested me as a friend to the deceased's brother-in-law. We have no connection other than that, no one who is friends to us both. Somehow, the information about the family of the deceased, which included this person's name, was linked to me and thus prompted Facebook to suggest me as a friend. I consider this to be a serious invasion of my privacy. Please give me an explanation.
Thank you,
Nancy Brownlee

This is a Firefox support forum, not a Facebook forum. FB uses a multitude of algorithms to suggest friends and news stories, and most of them are secret. I'd suggest complaining to them.

How did CoolChaser get on my browser & how do I get rid of it?

While searching for an answer to this problem, which I am also having, I realized coolchaser might be attached to my "Gamers Unite" toolbar I have installed for FarmVille on facebook. No idea why it occasionally pops up in my browser though. Might have been one of those 'automatically installed' programs that came with the toolbar.

I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode in Aperture 3. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it?

Just fishin' ...
Is by any chance "View→Show focus points" checked?
Does the frame persist after closing and re-opening Aperture?
Notice anything else different?
To post a screen shot, you first take it, them upload it. To take them, I use and recommend Skitch -- one of the best little apps ever. But this ability is built into OS X. Use Grab or Preview (search OS X Help for full directions). In Preview, use "File→Take screen shot ... →From selection ... ". Save the file in Preview to your drive. In the Discussion forum click the "Insert Image" icon (a camera) and select the file you created in Preview.

How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

Just drag it off the Dock and it will go "poof"
Look at the Options... when you click on it. Unless it got set to stay there, something you did or an app did caused it to be open.
Are there any windows open attached to it?
Is it set to "open on login"?
I use it but I do not have it or keep it on my Dock. It is found in /Applications/Utilities and installers may need to use it.

The font must either be installed normally on your system, or it can be placed into a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the .indd file and it will be available for that file for editing.

How did I get a 16 GB iPod touch 4g

I ordered an iPod touch 4G on Amazon for just under $200 and it was listed as an 8GB white. However, I recieved it in the mail yesterday and it said 16GB on the plastic box. I was confused. So I oped it up and noticed on the back of the iPod itself it also said 16 gb. So then I turned it on, set it up, amd went to setting, general, then about. I hsaw that my total memory was 13.7 gigs. How did I get a 16 GB iPod? I thought the 4g only was available as an 8GB, 32GB, and 64gb.

Not exactly. Apple has discontinued the 4G 8gb, 32gb and 64gb iPod and replaced them with the 16gb model and the 32 and 64gb iPod Touch 5.

What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address and how did they get there?

What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there. I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single white horizonital and vertical lines appeared on my photo off center connected to a little white box. How did they get there and how do I get rid of them.
Thanks,

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines

I don't know if you have been there, but a very suspicious icon! (Like this one on a NSA satellite: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite-logo-for-spying.jpg) Yikes!
Are they after the French too?!? I thought we were allies?!? Wait a minute . . . I'm an American citizen with the Constitutional Right (which they vowed to uphold when they took their job!) of privacy!!!
What do you think of all this?
How did you find it in the OS?
Do I just trash it with "Secure Empty"?
