How do I get Ghostery off Firefox - I am sick of the purple box ?

I installed this, didn't like it and now I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It doesn't appear on the Control Panel list.

You can disable and usually remove unwanted extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then they should be in alphabetical order, with the currently disabled ones all at the bottom.
Can you remove it?

  • How can I get it off FIREFOX 5.0 extensions?? And when will it be available for firefox?

    Unfortunately I tried to install Smart Web Printing as an extension on Firefox (back at FF version 3,5 or so) -- and now cannot seem to find a way to remove it since it is still 'incompatible'!!  
    Also, when will HP have a version that actually does run on Firefox?  (I currently use FF version  5.0) and very seldom use IE v.8.
    Thanks

    Doing so, go to the Windows Start menu and search field type "Run (A Windows program)" In him the following type "regedit" now go in this order"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Extensions" folder you seethis extensions installed under Firefox, there click the right mouse button and select delete. And start your browser.
    P. S.: Firefox can not be running.
    The improvement of this feature HP no gift news, but apparently strives to support IE ​​9 to get an update on June/2011.

    Unless you are 100% sure about what you are doing, don't try to open a flash drive as it the best way of destroying it.

  • How can i get adobe off my mac and make preview the default PFD viewer?

    that.

    Trash the adobe app (not necessary, but satisfying),
    trash any adobe pdf plugin in either Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ or HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    restart any browsers, & you should have built-in pdf support within Safari, just as before adobe reader or acrobat was installed.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

  • When starting Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message.

    When starting up Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message?
    The error message is: what happened: Type Error: Components. classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined.
    It appears all the time already from the beginning after installing Firefox 4.

    Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar created this problem. Another problem is: When searching on the web via Google, normally it is possible to type a few letters and then look what appears and then click on the wanted word(s). A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.

  • Accidentally scheduled printable on hp7520 how do I get it off

    I accidentally scheduled a printable on my Hp7520 printer.  It will print each day.  How do I get it off?Thank you.

    Hello,
    Check your addons by entering "about:addons" in your address bar and click Extensions, or:
    * Click Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
    Look for any suspicious add-ons that could be causing the problem.
    If you cannot find it and just want to restore Firefox to the default settings, try the Reset Firefox feature. It can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How do I get bing off my mac. Safari keeps defaulting to Bing when I search. Thank you. Peter Morse

    How do I get bing off my Mac. Safari keeps defaulting to Bing when I search. Thank you.

    You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is dishonest, you can't use it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
    Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
    Step 1
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /etc/launchd.conf
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may not exist, in which case you'll get a message that it can't be found. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Then restart, empty the Trash, and continue as below.
    IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash and restart before continuing. Otherwise the system may become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system. If you're not completely sure you can complete this step, stop here and ask for guidance.
    Some variants of Genieo don't include the launchd.conf file. The absence of that file doesn't mean that Genieo is not installed.
    Step 2
    Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
    Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way as above:
    /Applications/Genieo.app
    /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    There's no need to restart after each one. Again, some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Your web browser(s) should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Step 3
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should deactivate Genieo. Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install it. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

  • How do I get tunes off of my daughters I pod (not associated with my account) - onto my account. Her old computer is dead along with that I-Tunes account

    Got a new PC. Took the tunes off of my old PC - transferred to new one and opened new account. - Tossed out old PC. No nione of the tunes I bought and paid for are accessable anymore. What's worse - when I plug in my daughters I pod to add to her songs the system wants to dleate everything on her ipod...which would be fine except none of the songs on her ipod seem to be on my comoputer anymore - where the heck are the songs I paid for? If they are only on my daughters Ipod - how do I get them off of there and back onto my computer?

    You misunderstand.
    If you lose a credit card, the account is not gone. You call your credit card company, report the loss, and they issue you a new card. You still have the same account; just a new card which you use to access that account.
    Since your old computer is stolen/sold/thrown away/lost/not working, you can no longer use it to access your iTunes account. But that iTunes account, associated with a particular Apple ID, still exists. All you need to do is enter the account information into iTunes on your new computer.
    You said you already transfered the "material" from your old computer to your new computer. So if that's already done, there's no need to transfer anything from the iPod to your new computer. All you need to do is authorize your new computer for the old media and apps, and the way you do that is by logging in to the iTunes Store within the iTunes application on that new computer using your previous Apple ID and password.
    You can recover Apple ID information here if you don't remember it:

  • How do I get my old Firefox back

    How can I get my old Firefox back for my Windows 7. I'm not sure what version of Firefox I had before I downloaded this new one. With this new Firefox it comes with a Yahoo search bar which I cannot stand and a lot of other buttons I don't want. With my old version I had everything the way I wanted it but now it is all gone. Please help and show me the path way back to my old Firefox.
    Thank you, Mike

    The Yahoo toolbar may have been added by an extension or other (security) software on your computer.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!!

    Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

    When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.
