How do I stop Fire fox from down loading adds about fat women and up dates

I use Windows 7 the browser Internet Explorer is troublesome with banking programs, so I changed to Fire Fox BUT there are too many add on's, you never know what it is going to do next one minute it giving out security messages, the next it is using popups to advertise weight reduction and trying to get me to up date something to play music .
I don't want all that shite, I remember years ago I used Mozilla but it made such a big deal out of everything I got rid of it, is there a version I could buy just so I don't have to put up with that rubbish of jiggling adds?
I do not want flashy, look at me sort of software, I want soft ware that is a quiet achiever , just do the job and wait till you ask for help then dangle your adds.
I f you can't suggest a remedy then it's going , the way of the DODO never to return .
And I don't want some " piss in your pocket excuse" fix it or delete
And when I do try to change it and ask for support I get answers like "Firefox prevented this site ( support.mozilla.org) from asking you to install software on your computer"
Then when you press ok I get "The add on could not be downloaded because a connection failure on support.mozilla.org"
I have tried the manual steps but there is no Trobleshooting information on this page , there is no help on this page.
I think you guys are on another planet or you smoke too much weed, I fact I might delete it now and not wait for you to come out of the basement with an answer and i see at he bottom you already have educated guesses as to what is wrong, I know what is wrong, "too many add on stuff" you must have a line in the software that goes something like " when in doubt put another pop up in goto line 7 put another popup in.

  • Need to stop fire fox from asking me to update my browser how do I do this

    Fire Fox keeps telling me I need to update my browser, newer browser is not compatible with my banking system. I updated and could not access my bank account, so I went back to previous version but I keep getting notice to update it is very annoying, how do I stop this.

    You should always use the latest Firefox version for your daily browsing to have the best protection.
    If you really need to use an older Firefox version for specific websites then either install this older version alongside of the current Firefox release by doing a custom install and creating a new profile and desktop shortcut or by using a portable Firefox version.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    You can install a portable (ESR) Firefox version to access websites that do not work with the current Firefox release.
    The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.

  • How can I stop Yahoo mail from automatically loading my user id and password when I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox?

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords]. Moreover, your Firefox version (3.6.18) is outdated. Go to Help < Check for Updates.

  • Why do I keep getting an error code, this is embarassing, Fire fox can't load the last page. And when you to try do anything it freezes. It has the newest version.

    When I open a new page, I get this the error mentioned above. Stating This is embarassing, Fire fox, can't open your last session. When I try to do anything it then freezes.

    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.

  • How do I stop my iPhone from constantly asking for my voicemail password and then telling me it's wrong?

    During my use of my iPhone, a box pops up intermittently asking for my voicemail password.  It then says "incorrect password."  It IS the correct password.  What can I do to stop this?

    Contact your wireless provider, have them reset your password, and try again.

  • How do I stop my Mac from automatically opening multiple programs, ie: iMessage and Mail at startup?

    I have tried unchecking the option "Open at startup" found when you higlight the program while it is in the dock.  I have also gone into Preferences/Users and Groups and none of the programs that I do not want to open at startup are in the list.
    While I am familiar with other Apple products this is my first Mac, and this is just one of the many things that is taking time to figure out.

    Click Restart, and uncheck  "Reopen windows when logging back in".
    You can also try quitting those apps before you restart. Make sure you quit them completely (cmd-Q) and not just closing the window.

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • How do I stop search bar from remembering searches?

    How do I stop search bar from remembering searches?

    You can disable saving form data if you do not want to save search terms entered in the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    Note that the search bars on the about:home and about:newtab pages use autocomplete=off and thus do not save this data.

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success.  Can you help?  Thanks

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
