How do I get rid of vidx on Firefox?

I accidentally got vidx on my browsers, I was able to remove it from Safai and Chrome, but I don't know how to remove it from Firefox. 

Hello emm194, see if there is a vidx folder in /Library/Application Support/firefox, and delete it.
or
Go to Firefox--> Tools--> Add-ons. Add-ons manager will popup then you can uninstall it

  • How do I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium

    I got a message I thought was from Mozilla Firefox saying I have to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.
    I went to control panel/programs and Features, found Astromenda, and uninstalled it. I then adjusted my options for my Firefox homepage and got rid of Astromenda on the open of Firefox. However, if I hit the "+" on the tab for a new tab I get a Astromenda search tab. I went to "searchplugins" in the Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced with safesearch.xml. Didn't help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.
    I go to the web and found websites on how to get rid of Astromenda but they want me to download various adware cleanup tools but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.
    Thank you

    The one final step I did not do was the easiest, open Firefox menu, select "Add-ons", click on "Extensions", find "Astromenda", and then click on "Remove."
    Problem solved.
    PS: I read other blogs that claimed after remove all traces of Astromenda there regular search engine did not act the same... no such problem for me, Google search is acting completely normal.
    Thanks everyone for your interest.

  • How can I get rid of  'Vidx'  adverts on MacBook Air?

    Vidx has been everywhere in literally any page whenever I use safari. They popped out annoying ads and direct me to their own webpage when I clicked some other safe links. My internet has been slowed down because of Vidx. I couldn't find any solutions. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone have any solutions that helps? Many thanks! 

    You installed the "VidX" trojan, perhaps under a different name. To remove it, first open the Applications folder by selecting
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the Finder menu bar, or by pressing the key combination shift-command-A. Look for an item named "VidX," "MacVx," or similar. If present, drag it to the Trash and empty.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extension you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. You may well have more than one that's adware or spyware.

  • How do I get rid of a permanent Firefox Homepage Change Notification?

    A Firefox page came up that said well this is embarrassing and then on top of that another small page came up that says Firefox homepage change notification and everytime i click on OK to revert to my previous home page nothing happens and it won't go away and I can't use Firefox because of it so how do I make it go away?

    This is on Windows, Mac or Linux?
    That notification may be from an add-on, and it probably can't do anything useful until you have dealt with the post-crash session restore page showing your previous session windows and tabs. Can you cancel the notification instead of clicking OK to see whether that works any better?
    If not, try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode, which deactivates extensions and probably will bypass that change monitoring feature. Here's where there are some OS differences...
    When Firefox is not running, to start Firefox in Safe Mode, hold down the:
    * Windows: Shift key
    * Mac: option key
    while launching Firefox using its shortcut. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Can you get through the session restore screen successfully?
    ''Linux users can use Terminal to start in Safe Mode.'' See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode

  • How do I get rid of the orange Firefox thing in my Location Bar? I want the interface to look just like Firefox 16.0.2

    I installed Firefox 33 after Tumblr stopped working on 16.0.2, but now everything is jumbled. i tried Classic Themes installer and most things worked great, except for one thing: the orange Firefox thingamabob in the location bar. I can't change it back to the short, unintrusive globe it was in 16.0.2. Here is how it looked then and looks now, for comparison. (Also, the open tabs now have no border and the bars are a different color!)

    Also, the Awesome Bar doesn't work anymore! Before I could type, say, the letter 'i' and it would show my a bunch of imgur pages. Now it doesn't do anything when I type anything, and won't work when i hit Enter to search. What is going on?

    Hello, I have the same... well... "opinion".
    The Firefox logo in the address bar is intrusive and takes away a lot of sorely needed horizontal space in it, for no reason but to display the Firefox icon a third time (in the address bar, on the tab, and on the window in my case where it doesn't bother me).
    The screenshot the starter of this topic made illustrates perfectly what I mean - it unnecessarily clutters and overcrowds the horizontal space within the address bar. This is especially a problem for people who cannot use high screen resolutions due to being damned to forever keep using old CRT displays since all flatscreens cause excruciating eye pain (a minority no one cares about, I know - still where's the harm in making it optional?).
    Does anyone here know of any Add-on that can remove this said clutter in the address bar? I would really appreciate it and be grateful. Or any (other) way to remove it for that matter... make it an option, whichever...
    Kind regards

  • How can I get rid of the "hoax" Firefox window telling me to upgrade?

    Every time I open Firefox 3.6.13, I get a window which tells me I'm running an old version and should update. Googling this, I found out it's some kind of hoax. It's really irritating and I'd like to find a way of preventing it from opening. Any ideas?

    well, you ARE running an old version, so maybe you should update. Just saying...

  • How do I get rid of "Welcome to Firefox!" page on startup?????

    This is a pain in the neck.

    You can check the home page setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences then also see:

  • How can I get rid of the ber at the top of the screen that shows allow it is driving me nuts

    At the top of the scren there is a bar acress the top of the screen the has a window that says allow, some time I have to hit the allow button to let a page download, & it is driving me nuts. How do I get rid of it.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • I accidently installed vidx extensions on my computer. Although I think I deleted the program the adds still come up on my firefox browser. How do I get rid of it?

    I accidently installed vidx extensions on my macbook pro. Although I thought I deleted it I still get the adds coming up. How do I get rid of it on my firefox browser?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.
