How do I get rid of sticky pages fm previous searches?

It seems that since the switch to Yahoo browser I'm having problems. Cannot get rid of a sticky web page from each of several sites I've searched, no matter what. There's no "x" in the URL box, and using the red & white x sends me back to my desktop.
I've tried everything, including contacting web site(s), removing cookies, upgrading security. I'm not upgrading to new Firefox because I don't need the new abilities and don't want to lose any old ones, or be forced to take on some I don't want. Am I
being punished for not upgrading? Has Mozilla/Firefox been acquired by the pushy Google? Even when I try one of your Suggestions To Help, when I want to get out I get totally thrown out of the site and have to start all over to before registration page and have to recompose my "question." Which is: How do I get rid of these unwanted returning web pages, even after having eliminated cookies for the sites, rebooted, all of that?

Not sure exactly what you mean but while you are using Safari, just tap the X on the left side of the tab to close a it. Only the active tab shows the X. You have to tap on a tab to make it active or the foremost window.
If you want to clear the history - Settings>Safari>Clear History.
These are instructions for Safari in iOS 5. What version are you running?

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

How do I get rid of internet pages restrictions on...

I have a Nokia 2630 and just applied a free-to-try option that gives 30 days free internet for the mobile phone. The bad thing is that I can't open some pages on the net.... It gives me a restriction that says the page was restricted because my profile is a minor profile. Though, I'm not able to get my profile to be adult because I need to be 18 years old, and I'm 16... This is not about porn sites restriction in any way....... It doesn't even allow me to open Facebook.com (or other popular websites)! And some more sites that I used to visit...... Now I got rid of this. How? I use Opera Mini now. Everytime I use it to open a page that was actually restricted for Nokia's browser it works! But there's one more thing, and that is that I can't download anything from the restricted sites because whenever I click download Opera Mini closes and then the nokia's integrated browser opens in order to download anything...
How do I get rid of this? Is there any trick/hack that can get over these restrictions?
Thanks

You need to contact your network operator. It is them that are imposing the restrictions, not the phone or web browser. Because of the different was that opera works it can get around some restrictions.
The opera browser on that phone doesn't support downloading, thats why it opens them using the default browser.

I have always had Google as my Home Page on Firefox. Suddenly out of nowhere (and I have never used this site) it comes up with a website for a Canadian drugs company. Try as I may I cannot get rid of this website. I have done all the normal things like resetting default, deleting and requesting that Google be the Home Page by clicking and dragging icon to home page but as soon as I click Firefox up comes this rogue website. Anyone any ideas how I can get rid of it for good???? Driving me mad!!!

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:

How do I get rid of 'sweet page' after having used malware softw., reestablishing firefox as hyperlink, rebooting ?

It is not the described ''sweet pack' but 'sweet page' - presents itself as search engine - supposedly from the Netherlands. I have run malwarebytes anti-malware - no malware found - I reestablished mozilla as hyperlink - rebooted twice - didn't help, it keeps popping up whenever I try t open a new tab.
must have happened when I updated Java from the Java homepage.
How can I get rid of that? Thank you very much for your efforts, with kind regards
Irene Fritz

There's also a separate, hidden setting for new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Two gotchas:
* If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:<br><br>orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
* If the change works for the rest of your session but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page, you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

How do i get rid of the page where i sent the message already. it is stuck to that page.

my mail is stuck to a draft that i have sent already a lot of times hoping it will close. but it is stuck on that edit draft. please help me to get rid of the page so i can check on my emails. thanks

Quit the mail app completely and then restart the iPad. Then see if you can cancel the draft.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Pre-owned macbook pro, how do I get rid of app updates for previous users?

I have 2 updates in the app store that are flagged for updating, every time I click update it brings up a user that isn't me and I don't have the password for. How do I get rid of these? and ensure any update (e.g. iphotos is one of them) are for my apple id? Any help welcomed

What you really need to do is wipe the drive completely by repartitioning it as one partition and then reinstall the original version of OS X that came on that Mac when it was shipped from the factory. Otherwise that system will always be tied to the original owner.
How you do that depends on what version of OS X originally came on it when it was new. If Lion or Mountain Lion you use the online Internet recovery system. If it originally came with Snow Leopard then you should of gotten the original system discs that came with every Mac prior to Lion coming out. If you don't have those system discs you can order a replacement set from apple for a small fee.

How can I get rid of this totaly useless gbp search window?

How do I get rid of the gbp toolbar home and gbp search box

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
