How do I block unwanted 'sponsored' emails? Was ok until new Mozilla Firefox installed yesterday!

Ad blocker is already ticked. But since Mozilla updated yesterday I keep on getting 'sponsored' emails that I don't want. I cannot mark these as spam because that option is not available. I can only open them (which I don't want to do). However if I refresh the page they vanish for a while and then suddenly reappear!!
Please help.

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart. 
Any other problem with your e-mail you may have to take up with your e-mail
provider. Firefox is just a browser that displays the web page as the sender
wants the page displayed.

How do i block unwanted emails or contacts

how do i block unwanted emails or contacts

Hi :)
I have the same problem. All of the sudden I receive tons of unsolicited ***** invitations. You can do two things:
Forward emails to: [email protected]
Put them in the Junk folder. Apple is supposed to check that and do something about it.
I downloaded a little app called SpamDrain. They give you few weeks of free service but after that they will charge you for removing your unwanted stuff.
Anyway this problem started about three weeks ago and I receive about ten unwanted ***** mails every day. It's a real pain. Hopefully between apple and the little app I will get rid of it.

how do I block unwanted senders in my e-mail?

Hello:
Your ISP should (most of them do) have a capability to block senders. The Mail application does not (as far as I know). If you get unwanted mail, mark it junk.

Hi Martin,
MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.

How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?
On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes. Have tried restarting iPad but this didn't help and because its a pre-installed App am unable to re-install it. Is this a universal problem or just affecting me? Tried searching for support in both App Store and on Apple site and can't see how to report this.

How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

How can I stop unwanted scam emails ex: someone wats to give me $2,500,000.00

How can I stop unwanted emails? Here is an example:
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact via, personal search while seeking a reliable but obscure individual to assist me in this pending transaction. It became necessary for me to seek your assistance as i want you to assist me in investing my share of the money in your Country.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Wong Cheng director of operations of the Bank Of Japan,United Kingdom . I have an Obscured business suggestion for you . In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boj/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. A client of ours informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf and i was the officer assigned to his case.The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments,this yielded funds in just 2 Years.
In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe.I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm,He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.
I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of japan.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something,there is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so,i alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOJ is concerned.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail.I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience,this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
If you find yourself able to work with me, Contact me only through this email address (XXXXX),Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children.I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
I await your response,here is my Email again (XXXX)

Unfortunately, spam is a disadvantage to having an email address and there isn't much you can do to stop receiving them. However, you can filter these messages using a spam filter. Check with your email provider to see what options they offer to deal with spam. If you are using apple mail, turn on the junk mail filter in the settings (Mail, preferences).

How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
Over to the Forum and Allan.

Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
Buy a Mac!
Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
Hope this helps......

How can I verify that an email was sent?

I was an Adobe SendNow Outlook user until early this morning, when I had to send an important document for a meeting this morning. SendNow for Outlook informed me that it just retired, and so I was directed to this Adobe Send cloud version. I was able to go in and send my document. And later I found the new Adobe Send Outlook plug-in.
But in the meantime, my recipient has not yet retrieved the document (according to the status). I'm wondering how I can verify/see the email I sent through Send. I don't see anything in the Adobe Send Cloud interface that allows me to see either the recipient email address or the text of the email. This seems to be an important component missing. Or am I missing something?
Keith
p.s. My recipient did finally view the document and I received my email verification, but I still can't seem to find the original text of the email!

How can I block unwanted calls? (Besides Do Not Call List)

We just moved into our new home and have Verizon's home phone service (and everything else). In less than the month we've been here we've been BOMBARDED by HUNDREDS of solicitors! Half are non-profits, half biz/telemarketers.They're all unwanted (I don't even do charities over the phone). I've never been so overwhelmed with unwanted calls before! (Must be a California thing? We just moved here from Seattle). Our number is on the National Do Not Call registry, but of course that doesn't stop the non-profits, charities and politicians from calling (they're excluded). Nor does it stop the ones who just don't care. I see that Verizon no longer provides the option of blocking unwanted numbers, and it also discontinued the Do Not Disturb feature. There used to be other options from many of the various phone providers to block all calls except those on a pre-approved list of your choosing. Why aren't these options available to us anymore???
I'm thinking... with all this advanced technology... there MUST be some way to block all those unwanted calls!!??!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello rednorsk
There are a couple of options, including one that is on done through your account online, or by calling customer service and requesting the block. Customer Service can tell you how many of these blocks can be done for free, and whether you will need a specific plan to cover more.
Here is a thread on just your issue.

How do I block unwanted incoming controller messages?

This is a followup to How do I prevent the patch from advancing multiple times per switch press?
The Mainstage 2.2 release notes list blocking unwanted incoming controller messages as a feature. However, I can't find anything in the docs about it and I've been poking at the UI for a while now trying to find it to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Hi
Further to this, the 'new' (MS 2.2) way requires the use of the new Assignments and Mappings pane in Edit mode. The advantages are that you can map, and block, MIDI without needing a Screen Control in the layout.
1) Click on the Action gear on the right, and make a new assignment.
2) Activate the Assign and Map button by clicking on it (goes red)
3) Send in the MIDI message you wish to block
4) De-activate the Assign and Map button
Alternatively for Step 3, you clould manually set the MIDI message to be blocked by clicking on "no Assignment" in the left column.
Note that the default is to have "None" in the Control Inspector (which does the 'blocking'). I vaguley recall that is does not block everything?

Ok, I called AT&T/Cingular, the 1st person I talked to was not aware there was spam coming into the iPhone. He connected me to a product specialist, he said that I should call AT&T directly, and there was nothing he could do because he just supports the iPhone not the carrier. He did give me the number to call. I will try to call them tomorrow evening; I have run out of time for today, (just got back from dentist).
Anyway, he did confirm that even though I have unlimited data plan, if I go over 200 text messages in a month AT&T will charge me for the messages over 200.
I also mentioned to him that I live in CT and I have my house phone and cell phones on the CT "No Call" list, and that the CT attorney General has stated that it does not matter if the phone is a land line or cell, No Call is No Call. The product specialist added that since the SMS is coming over the phone via my "No call" phone number I should be sure and tell AT&T.
Of course if these spam’s are coming from out of the country, which many do. There is probably not much we can do.
But I will call AT&T tomorrow and update this post. Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
