How do I uninstall browser backgrounds?

When I installed browser backgrounds, when I open a new tab, I get these images that I don't want. I want to go back to my usual websites when I open a new tab. How do I uninstall this feature that I downloaded?

Do you mean the thumbnails on the default about:newtab page?
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

  • How do I uninstall an add on file from the Seamonkey browser?

    HOW DO I UNINSTALL AN ADD ON FILE FROM MY SEAMONKEY BROWSER?
    Mozilla needs to make their products more user friendly. There is a multitude of people out there
    who are "NOT" very computer literate. Older people like myself, for example, who are old
    school, have a difficult time being dragged kicking and screaming into the electronic generation.
    My grandchildren are better at this kind of stuff than I am; yet we really don't have much choice
    but to try and make the transition, because I have found that there are a lot of types of business
    that you cannot get done unless you are willing to do it with a computer, going online.
    My problem is not with Firefox (I don't use it because it is too slow) , because I use the Seamonkey browser. The problem I now have is that when I try to download some software, I get a message that says I must first uninstall a certain “add on” file, (npfdm.dll.), a "Free Download Manager" file. When I get the list of add ons through the “help” drop down menu, there is “NO” link or any way I can see that will allow me to uninstall this file from the add on list. Therefore, Seamonkey becomes useless to me. Someone please help me with this. Thank you.

  • How do I uninstall anything running in background that I don't need?

    I am having problems (iMac OSX 10.6.8) with my searches being intercepted.
    Could this be caused by applications running in the background?
    If so, how do I uninstall anything running in background that I don't need?

    But whatever I search on Google, within moments my email box is crammed with spam on a related topic.
    If that's true, then it would seem you have put your email addrress out on the Internet somewhere.
    At the same time, it's possible that you have inadvertently got some malware on your system and that it is what is intercepting your web searching and then sending you email on that or related topics. I'm not suggestng this is likely, only that it's a possibility, however small.
    Who is your Internet provider? Some of them actively intercept searches and foist ads on you, especially when you try to go to a web site that doesn't exist or one that isn't cached in their DNS servers.

  • How do I make a background browser photo be full page, not tile format.

    I want to make my pages more dynamic by adding a browser background photo come up as a full page and not as a repeating tile format. In iWeb'08 help, they say a pop up menu will appear where I can specify dimensions of the photo and, yet, it doesn't. If it makes a difference, I am using iWeb's template called 'Watercolors'.
    Anybody know how I can do that?
    Thank you in advance for your help...

    GG ~ You're welcome. On a related note, according to design professionals, empty space is important:
    One of the biggest mistakes typical business people make with documents is going out of their way to seemingly use every centimeter of space on a page, filling it up with text, boxes, clip art, charts, footers, etc. Space, often called "white space," is good. Embrace it. Use it. Often, the more space you don't use on a page, the clearer your message becomes.
    Empty space is beautiful, yes. But empty space also implies importance, elegance, professionalism. This is true with graphic design, but you can see the importance of space (both visual and physical) in the context of interior design. Think of the retail space, for example. Target is dedicated to design although they are a discounter. They know about space. Target stores are well designed. They have more empty space than other discounters, Walmart, for example.

  • Browser background - how to rotate image?

    When I insert an image for my browser background it rotates itself 90 degrees when I publish the site. In iweb the image is correct, it's only when I publish that it has the wrong rotation.  How can I control this?

    Try publishing your site to a local folder and launch it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file...

  • How can i change my Browser background image size in Iweb???

    Hello,
    I am trying to upload a picture to use in iweb as browser background which will be fixed.
    The problem is that when i upload the image it doesn’t appear in full. It zooms in a portion of the image.
    This is really annoying and have been trying to change it for days.
    Have a look and it might give you a better idea http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you. A

    I really do not know what resizing the browser windows means.
    Perhaps I must go back to school again.
    Ah, I remember. Drag the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window to resize it.
    Anyway, here's the widget page :
    http://www.inthepocketdrumstudio.com/InThePocketDrumStudio_files/widget0_markup. html
    You should move the image out of the InThePocketDrumStudio_files folder.
    With the code i provided the image will display in the webpage.
    Also remove the image as background in iWeb.

  • How to maximize a browser window?

    Can't seem to figure out how to make a Safari window fill the entire screen.
    Or how to vertically or horizontally tile Safari windows.
    Or a keyboard shortcut to maximize a window I'd hidden previously.
    Or how to get my browsing history to display in a convenient always-on-screen tab. Or even how to access the History dropdown menu without using the mouse constantly, which used to save me so much time and hand/arm movement.
    ...All things that were remarkably simple in IE and that I took for granted until a day or two ago.

    Hello par:
    Sorry, incidentally, for my snippy post. It was 11:30 last night, and I think I was tired. Apple users who have been through the bad and good times tend (me too) to be a bit defensive (and yes, superior) to any comparison of Apple software to the stuff from the behemoth from Washington. As a bit of background information, Microsoft used to support a version of IE for the Mac. They dumped that about three years ago. Many of us (me too) hunted for options and I fell in love (figuratively speaking) with Safari.
    I use Firefox once in awhile as an alternate browser. There are a very few web sites that do no play well with Safari. The developers either do not write to standards or, worse yet, use code that is Microsoft-specific. Firefox is pretty friendly and has a feature that, when you first install it, allows you to import all of your bookmarks.
    F9 allows you to show all of the open windows at once (ones that are hidden under other windows.
    F10 brings all windows (except the active one) to the front.
    F11 hides all open windows.
    I am the world's slowest typer, so I use the mouse extensively (for me, oddly enough, it is faster).
    One nice thing you will find about software written for Apples (OS X) is that code is not shotgunned all over your system (unlike Windows). When you wish to uninstall something without an "uninstaller," a simple "find" will locate all the pieces of the program. Then dragging to trash dumps it. By the by, while I am giving gratuitous advice, do not delete any system software unless you are sure it will not harm other parts of OS X.
    I am like you in the sense that I avoid cluttering up my iMacs with a whole bunch of code. In my case, (touching wood) I have not had a software problem for a couple of years. Apple's pre-release testing has significantly improved.
    P.S. Ask away if you have questions in the future. You will find, I think, that this is the best on-line community anywhere - and virtually everyone is a volunteer.

  • HT1923 How do I uninstall itunes 11 and revert to itunes 10?

    Hi,
    How do I uninstall itunes 11, which I find a chore to use, and revert to itunes 10? Is it possible? Or should I just get on with it?
    Thanks
    Spudzulyke

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    N.b. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1 or later. Do not downgrade iTunes if you have already upgraded your devices... Roll back of iOS is not possible.
    If you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • I have windows vista. i downloaded firefox - now I need to uninstall and I cant seem to be able to. how do I uninstall and go back to windows 9 like I was befo

    I list my pets on petfinders. it came up that my edition of windows exlorer 9 would not work and to go wtih firefox. I downloaded firefox and now it wont work and I need to uninstall but cant seem to be able to- how do I uninstall so can go with the windows version

    The uninstall instructions for Firefox are here
    *[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
    However <s>Firefox is obviously working, and </s>it does no harm to have more than one browser on a computer. In fact it can be a distinct advantage. For instance it allows you to use the alternative browser if the primary one has a fault.
    Maybe what you are in fact trying to do is to set Internet Explorer (IE) as the default browser again, so that for instance the IE icons appear on some files and links. You can do that from IE
    * see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-10
    * if you do; or do NOT, want Firefox as the default browser also note the information here [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]

  • How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

    How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
    Here's my favorite scenario:
    1. User clicks button
    2. Save As dialog displays
    3. User chooses location
    4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
    Background:
    I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
    Concern:
    1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
    2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
    FYI:
    I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

    Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
    Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
    I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
    Yes but that's only part of it.  Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
    Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
    Yes. 
    <?php
    /* This short script forces a file download.
       For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
       You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
       with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
       Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
       file on your server.
    // full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
    $Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
    // the filename
    $theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
    //the work gets done here
    header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
    header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
    readfile($Path2File);
    ?>
    Name this file zip2download.php.
    Add a link to your HTML page:
    <a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

  • How do I uninstall Google Drive so that I can reinstall the upgrade?

    I have a Mac Air, Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.9.3)
    I have been using Google Drive to share files with friends and family but this week began getting a pop-up that I need to upgrade my Google Drive software.
    I downloaded the file from Google but when I try to install/replace, I get the following two messages:
    The operation can’t be completed because the item “Google Drive” is in use.
    The operation can’t be completed because a required item is in use.
    My browser is closed so I don't know why it appears that the software is in use.
    So, I checked this forum and found that because of some problems with Google Drive and OS X, I need to "uninstall" my current Google Drive application but I don't know how to do that.
    Can someone please tell me, step-by-step, how to completely uninstall this software so that I can reload the newer version?
    Thanks so much for your help!
    Chris Carbaugh

    Open Google Drive window. Click On "Settings" at top of window. Select move to trash. Then Empty Trash.
