How do I get rid of x-notifier as I neither asked fot it nor want it

I have just upgraded to Firefox 18 and once more (Firefox is not the only one by the way) there has been stuff added that I neither need nor want.
I have neither the time nor inclination to go hunting for it to remove it.
1. Please stop doing this
2. Tell me how to get rid of it

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#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.

    How do I get rid of an apps in iPad that does not have an x on top left corner as it is blinking?

    It is known as newsstand and is a part of iOS.
    It is per installed and cannot be removed. Just ignore it as it does not take a lot of memory. It is just a folder.

  • How can I get rid of the prompt to update firefox? I don't want to update

    A box appears when I try to connect to the internet that says there's an update for Firefox. I did that previously and got stuck with Firefox 4 which took me forever to get rid of and downgrade back to 3.6 I do not want to upgrade but this box has appeared constantly for 4 days now. I keep saying 'no' but wonder, will it go away by itself eventually?

    1. Uninstall Firefox
    2. Download Firefox 3.6.20 from the first link provided by cor-el.
    3. Install Firefox 3.6.20.
    4. In Firefox, click the Tools menu > Options. In Options, select the Advanced tab. UNDER the Advanced tab, click the Update tab. Now under
    "Automatically check for updates to" , un-check Firefox and under "When updates to Firefox are found", select the first option "Ask me what I want to do".
    This way Firefox will not check for updates and you wouldn't be prompted every time to update.

  • In email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

  • How do I get Firefox to check addon compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update?

    How do I get Firefox to check add-on compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update? The update process currently only tells me that an add-on has been disable after applying the Firefox update. The Options > Advanced > Update tab switch, "Warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons", does not seem to work.

    How do we check that new versions of FF are compatible with our existing Add-ons? I'm really quite over always having half of them not working after updating FF. It's very frustrating. Couldn't there be an option in the Add-ons menu that checks if they're compatible with a new version? Thanks.

  • How do I get rid of a strange symbol where I ask for a website that won't let me access Firefox & tells me something about "ownership"?

    The symbol is not a padlock. It kind of looks like some sort of bird. I believe it mentioned something about encryption.

    Can you attach a screenshot?

  • How do I get rid of annoying text at end of yahoo email?

    Using Safari and Yahoo email.  No signature has been set yet every email ends with a tailing set of characters, one character per line as follows:
    Preferences § 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = Backspace Tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] Return capslock a s d f g h j k l ; ' \ shift ` z x c v b n m , . / shift English alt alt Preferences
    What is causing this and how can I get rid of it?
    I am actually asking for my daughter.  This has been going on for a long time and I am stumped.  I have gone into both Yahoo email and Safari preferences and can find no reason for this happening. 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • A pop up window saying Java Runtime Environment keeps coming up. How do I get rid of it?

    How do i get rid of a pop up window that asks me to run Java Runtime Environment?

    If you're referring to a Mac and not an iPad, then most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it, including its automatic update mechanism (if any) according to the developer's instructions. Otherwise, install Java.

  • What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

    What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?

    robynlwitheridge
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Disabled Yahoo icon. How do I get rid of the icon without hiding it?

    Okay so on my previous BB I had my work and Yahoo e-mail set up.  Later I disabled the Yahoo e-mail and I remember then it was tough to figure out how to do that and delete the icon.  I figured it out though.
    Now I synced to my new 8900 and the Yahoo icon is there again.  It's not receiving or sending e-mail which is fine, but how do I get rid of the icon without having to hide it?  I want it gone forever!

  • When starting up my computer, I get a window that says - apple sync notifier.exe - entry point not found.  how can i get rid of this window?

    When I start up my computer,  I get a window that pops up that says  *  AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found.  it also says    the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll.   .  What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?

    When on FB or a website, etc., on my iPad 2,  a page from this website (Lemode-MGZ.com) keeps popping up and taking over the page I am on. Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?

    These kinds of problems are typically caused by visiting a page that is malicious or has been hacked. That page displays a malicious scam message of some kind. The immediate solution is to clear website data from Safari, according to the instructions at the bottom of this page:
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    To keep the problem from recurring, be sure to avoid whatever page you visited that caused the pop-up. If this is a legit site, it may have been hacked. Notify the site owner(s).
    If this continues to happen with a wide variety of sites, you may have compromised network hardware. See:
