How to complain about bad web site

A web site came up when searching for another website. The website pretended to have the name of the site I was looking for. When I selected the false link I was taken to www.mawords.com which showed a header that implied it was the site I was looking for. When I clicked to exit the page another page blasting an ad opened in a new tab that took over my screen. I was forced to endure the unwanted advertizement until I found a way to escape (close) the tab.
This is a bad experience especially for the average (novice) web user. How can mozilla users complain about these kind of pouncing and abusive web marketers?

Hi agitator, there are a few things that you can do to report that site. The first thing that you can do is to report it to Firefox/Mozilla. You can do this by going to the area where you can get to the settings on Firefox. You do not want to click on Firefox. Insted what you want to do is click on the question mark. This is the help area. One of the options on this is "report a web forgery" . That information will go to Mozilla so that we can help other people avoid that site. If you want to report it to law enforcement and you live in the USA you can go to [http://ic3.gov ic3.gov] .

    How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

    hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
    you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

    If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
    Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
    The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
    In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
    Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

  • How to Display a complete Web Site ?

    hi , I need to know how to display a complete web site using Directly from DMM or DMP ?
    anyhow i dont want any dynamic updates, but i need to display the whole page with flash and picture contents ..
    Please guide me
    thanks

    This particular problem has been reported at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622472 I have just voted for that bug.
    Since my last report one month ago above, I have found the "Report Broken Website" appears under the Help menu item, is clickable when a webpage is displayed, but just endlessly displays a "Sending Report to server" dialog. It has never worked for me since several weeks ago. The moving blue bar under "Sending Report" just keeps moving but nothing happens.
    Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 , the latest version according to Check Updates. Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Expected behaviour: I guess the Report menu item should be grayed out or invisible until the reporting mechanism works.

    Hi Ginette,
    The site that you are referring to does not appear to be a template that you can get your hands on, however, I will suggest that you contact the owner via their contact us page and see what can be done.

  • Help on how to import static HTML web site in Portal v2

    Hi I am new to Portal and I would like to know if there is a way to upload an entire static HTML Web site (pages and images) into Portal (v2) or do I have to re-create each pages one by one.
    Thanks for your time,
    Louis-Martin Rivard
    Covansys Canada

    Louis,
    Static HTML pages cannot be mapped to Portal pages. The Portal page concept revolves around
    providing a customizable container for content, rather than a HTML page which contains text
    and images.
    I am assuming that your website has the following structure
    /htdocs
    /sitennn
    /pages
    /subsite1
    /subsite2...etc
    /images
    /scripts
    You need to upload the zip file as an item and then unzip the zip file. When you unzip the file,
    Portal will create the folders and populate them. So, if you have a root HTML file called
    index.html, then you can access it as http://<server.domain>/pls/<dad>/docs/folder/<sitennnn>/pages/index.html
    Assuming you have specified relative links, all images/content should show up correctly.
    Once again, I would like to suggest that unless we are talking a 100+ pages and megabytes of
    content, consider recreating/redesigning your website using Portal Pages, instead of upload and unzip. You will have to spend some resources (time, people) and redesign, but it will
    pay off in the long run.
    hth
    ps: Next time, could you please provide the Portal version and platform. It helps a lot, while
    trying to come up with a soltion
    I read and try to upload a zip file in Portal but the only thing I found is how to upload a single web page in a page group. Can you direct me on how to upload the entire web site?
    Thanks for you help, the documentation is very poor...

  • How to delete GE Capital web site which is on top of Fox App. in Ipad2

    This morning I opened Fox News App and the GE Capital web site was on top of it, using up 75% of screen.  Can't get rid of it, don't know how.  Thought it would go away but it's still there.  Anyhow else having this problem?

    Have you tried closing the Fox News app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Fox News app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Fox News app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
