How do I get rid of a tab requesting donations for an add-on?

I recently downloaded an add-on for Firefox that I have found very helpful. A few days later, a tab launched requesting a small donation for the developer. Since I was using and enjoying the add-on, I made a small ($10) donation. All well and good, but the tab keeps showing up once a week or so, and I'm not going to make any more donations. How do I get rid of this?

How do I get rid of two tabs opening when I first open Firefox?

When I first open Firefox I get my home page in one tab but another tab opens also. That one is set for Facebook. How do I get rid of the automatically opening second tab?

Do you get both pages if you launch a new window using either:
* Ctrl+n
* "3-bar" menu button > New Window
''If yes:''
Check your home page setting to see if you have multiple home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows where to check this in the Options dialog: [[Startup, home page and download settings]]. This article has more background on multiple home tabs: [[How to set the home page]].
''If no, or if the Options dialog is okay:''
Add-ons may display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, is it the normal Facebook URL ([https://www.facebook.com/]) or a different address?
Do you have any Facebook-related extensions? You can review, disable, and often remove 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, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?

I get a recurrent request to connect by wi-fi to another computer on my wi-fi network, even if I am already connected to this other computer by wi-fi. How do I get rid of this recurrent request?

I have two MacBook Pros on my local wi-fi network. I usually have these connected to each other over my wi-fi network. Normally, I only connect to my old computer (MacBookPro) from the new computer (MacBookPro2), so I can access files on my old computer that are typically not on my new computer. I use the same admin username (John Doe) and password on each computer. Currently, I have Mavericks (10.9.5) on my old computer and Yosemite (10.10) on the new MacBook Pro. All
I am now getting a recurrent request to connect to old computer even when I am already connected! When this request is being made, I am asked to connect to a username (johndoe instead of John Doe). The exact alert:
     Enter your name and password for the server "MacBook Pro".
     connect as     << button is pressed for Registered User >>
     Name: johndoe
     Password: _________
     << Cancel button >> << Connect button >>
When I enter correct user name (John Doe or johndoe) and password for my account on Mavericks computer, the connection fails (whether I connected to Mavericks computer or not), and I get the following:
     There was a problem connecting to the server "MacBookPro". The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name and try again.
If I change to the proper share name John Doe and use the correct password, I still am not connected and I get the same failure message and am asked to use the correct share name again. If I cancel message, the connection message goes away for a while whether I am actually connected to old computer or not. It will then come back on the workspace I am currently using on my new macbook. When I am downloading files using terminal, the connect request comes up constantly if I continue canceling the message which is really irritating. How do I get rid of this constantly recurring request to connect???

It means you must be connected to your computer via Wi-Fi (or cable).
Or wait for iOS 5

How do I get rid of the update request on screen when I am running version 21

How do I get rid of the request to update my version of Firefox below my search request on the front page when I have already updated to Firefox version 21. My search engine is http://www.google.co.uk/firefox
Thanks for any help.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
*browser.search.defaultenginename
Currently selected search engine:
*browser.search.selectedEngine

How do i get rid of the annoying pop up for the adobe trial after i have bought and installed adobe pro?

How do I get rid of the annoying pop up from the adobe trial after I have bought and installed adobe pro?

This isn't an annoying pop-up. Rather, it is seriously telling you that it doesn't know that you have licensed the software, and it will continue to be a trial, and will stop when the 30 days are up.
So you must tell it that you have licensed the software.

My computer company installed new computers and everytime i open Mozilla, tabs appear for my laptop company. How do i get rid of this tab?

I want to get rid of the Lenovo laptops tab that appears everytime I open Mozilla

I opened it up in safe mode, went and reset all settings back to default. I also disabled ALL add ons. Then I went to add ons manager and enabled all the ones I was 100% certain I added. In there, you will find two add ons, one is the yahoo tool bar and default tab 1.2.2. I left those two disabled and started firefox. The tab was gone. I am not sure if it connected to yahoo.com but it is from a company called My Search Results and they claim to be a company that that this is the easiet way to search. Here is the addy for their about me page: http://corp.mysearchresults.com/about-us
I kinda think it may also have some kind of spyware involved. This worked for me. I hope this fixes this nuisance.

Everytime I open Firefox I get a page from Video Download Helper. How do I get rid of this page once and for all?

Since two days, everytime I open firefox an extra tab opens up from Download Helper.
I close it everytime, but it's getting annoying.
I've tried the Extra - Options screen, I've tried the Help with Firefox screen , I can't seem to find a solution.
Please help me get rid of it before I might toss my screen out the window in a few days...

Did you check for problems with the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder and rename or delete the file?
Windows may be hiding the .js file extension, so check the Properties via the right-click context menu to be sure.

How do I get rid of the SPAM Popup Ad for an External HDD

A spam popup ad for an external HDD came down with supposed Lenovo system updates. This ad pops up every few hours and I can figure out how to get rid of it. There is a check box that says 'don't show again' but I check it and it doesn't work. I am extreemly disappointed they have invaded my system with an ad that was part of a system update. I have 15 thinkpad users and it hasn't happened to all of them yet but they'll be screaming at me when it does.
Solved!

Opening premiere elements every time I try to access the video editor I get shunted to a trial program when I already purchased PE12 how to I get rid of the trial request

I purchased Premiere Elements 12 in January 2014 - now when trying to open the video editor I get shunted to a trial request - how do I avoid this trial request coming up every time and just go to the video editor which I already purchased?@

Mooivoel
Are you working with an Internet connect on?
Have you used the program between January 2014 and now July 2014?
When you get these messages are you responding by clicking on the License this Product option or just ignoring it?
If the problem persists then I would contact Adobe via Adobe Chat
Contact Customer Care
If any further questions on this or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
We will be looking forward to learning of your progress.
Thank you.

How can I get rid of multiple tabs when I open Yahoo

When I open Yahoo.mail, I get many tabs for Yahoo.
I should only get one.
How do I fix this so I'm not getting all these tabs. This started when I switched from Mail Classic to the New Mail & back again. Many of the excess tabs are for the Yahoo page that describes the two different versions of Yahoo mail.
I'm using a MacBook & both Yahoo & Mozilla are up-to-date.
Thanks!

The suggestions didn't work HOWEVER I found a solution to my issue with this. So far it seems to work.
Go into Firefox Preferences>general
I reset the opening page from Yahoo In Box (which seemed to be the problem) to the default. Opened it all up then returned to Firefox Preferences & reset it back to Yahoo In Box.
Now it seems to be working ok without all those nasty tabs slowing me down.

How does one get rid of new tab pop ups ?

using google chrome.on a macbook pro.New tab pop ups called MacKeeper
Could anyone in simple terms show me how to remove this bug.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How do I get rid of the tab under my row of tabs, saying "Retrieving buttons from My Web Search"?

Hi,
Under my row of tabs, there is a row that says "Retrieving buttons from My Web Search".
This has been appearing for the past 3 days and I have no idea how to remove it. It is obviously failing to retrieve any 'buttons' from my 'web search'. On the far right side of the row, there is a button which has the options of:
*My Web Search Version
*Enable Offline Browsing
*Colour Buttons Always
Whichever one I click, it stays the same.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks

If the folder is deleteable, then tap on the Edit button at the top of the list of mail folders, tap on the folder that you want to delete, and on the next screen tap the Delete Mailbox button - that should move the folder to the Trash folder.
Edit : spelling auto-correct corrected

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware or malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How do you get rid of default tabs on a document in pages 09?I h

Hi.
I am wanting just one tab on my document, but there are many popping up that I believe are default tabs. I am trying to delete them in inspector but it is not letting me. Any tips???
Thanks!

Select the text you want to apply your tab to and set the tab on the ruler by clicking on it.
In the absence of any specified tabs the tabs will jump to set intervals on the ruler.
