How to prevent any website from bypassin firefox

I use FF15. Whe I have any web site open, a WANTED site, ANY other UNWANTED web site can either open on top of my current site, or open in the desktop BEHIND my current site. The only way I know these sites are there is the tab in the system tray, they are stacked on the desktop, or any audio, mostly ads, makes its way to my speakers. Not only is this annoying, but it interferes with streaming videos by making the stream slow to open, or JERKY in motion. The audio superimposes itself on the steams audio. How do I prevent this? OPERA and IE are not affected. Is there a stting I am missing? The pop up blocker is ON. There is no info in these HELP pages. HELP PLEASE!!!! [email protected]

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

  • When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

    You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
    I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
    Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • How do I prevent a website from opening another window

    A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
    I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
    If not, why not?

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
    Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
    There are only two possible answers:
    (A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
    or
    (B) It's not possible.
    If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

  • Enable "Prevent this website from creating dialog boxes" for a page

    Firefox has an option to prevent a website from creating a any more dialog boxes. I have a website which creates too many of them, so I want those to be disabled whenever I visit that website.
    So, is it possible to disable dialog boxes permanently for a page, or even something that I can do everytime before visiting that page..

  • How do i block website from my macbook pro

    how do i block website from my macbook pro?

    It's an very old and simple question! There are two ways that you can use to block websites on your Macbook Pro:
    1. Enable the Parental Control on your Macbook Pro, choose the app you don't want your kids to use.
    2. Install the Internet filter software for Mac that can help you block any unwanted websites automatically.

  • How can i stop preview from opening firefox?

    How can i stop preview from opening firefox? I'm on a late 2007 macbook pro running Mountain lion. I would rather have it open Safari when I click on a link within a pdf not firefox. Help?

    Thanks Kappy! Tho I feel a bit silly that it was that easy.

  • Unable to open any websites from the search engines. the ones I have tried are google, yahoo and ask. They opened until recently. The popup says" Firefox can't establish connection to the server." Ask worked last night but is not working now.

    When I try to open a web site from one of the search engines a pop up shows stating that Firefox can't establish connection to the server. I can't open any websites through any of the search engines.

    I just started using a new Windows 7 computer with Office 7 installed. I can no longer copy from any webpage opened in Firefox and paste into Word.
    I can paste into email. Word to Word is OK. And copy from email and into Word is OK. But not from an opened webpage into Word.
    Any help GREATLY appreciated!

    it sure would be nice if Firefox had technical help that customers could call for help.

  • How do prevent HTML snippets from being listed on search engines?

    I just created a new website using iWeb 3.0.1. On a couple of my pages I embedded flash music players and video players using the HTML Snippet widget. I did a quick search of my website on google and noticed that the HTML widgets were showing in the results as separate pages. I then clicked on these HTML Snippet pages and up came the widget on a separate page by itself. How do I prevent search engines from listing any HTML Snippets on my iWeb site as separate pages?
    Thanks
    athafran

    Paste this in the HTML Snippet.
    In the <body> ... </body> part you paste the code you currently use for your Snippet.
    I haven't tried it, the noindex part, but the code itself is accepted by iWeb.
    <html>

  • How do you disable TheFreeDictionary from Mozilla Firefox?

    My browser was updated yesterday to 14.0.1 version, and now every time I double click on any word in any website, TheFreeDictionary opens in a new window defining that word. I did not download it as an extension, and if I do look it up on the Add-ons Manager, I even get the option to install it, not uninstall it. It is extremely pesky since I tend to, for various reasons, copy and paste words, and it's annoying having TFD window open each time.
    How can I disable it or get rid of it? Would I have to perhaps download the extension (again, apparently?) and then disable it?

    Hi,
    You can try to delete the files named '''extensions.*''' in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] after exiting Firefox, and then start Firefox. At startup Firefox would ask for permission and you can select '''Allow this installation''' and '''Continue''' for the needed ones, and leave the unwanted ones deselected, Click '''Restart''' only on the last tab. Afterwards you can '''Remove''' it from the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20extensions%20with%20Firefox Add-ons Manager].

  • How to prevent a user from entering characters into a number field

    How do you prevent a user from entering characters like A or B into a field that is defined as a numeric field?
    Please note that
    - we use block validation (for other reasons)
    - we are not able to convert these numeric fields to character fields
    We want to avoid a user being hasseled with the FRM-40209 ... message.
    This message is
    - not very helpfull because it does not inform us what the problem field is
    - not suppressable
    Any hints ?

    I went back to the drawing board on this one.
    You are absolutely right : the message can be catched !
    By writing an on-error trigger you can check for the error number. Sadly enough my first attempt on this used the on-message trigger which never fired hence my desperation.
    Anyway, the on-error trigger in combination with :SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM or :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM enables me to display a more meaningfull message to my users.
    Thanks for the hint.

  • How to prevent internet sharing from turning itself of automatically

    There is any way to prevent internet sharing from turning of itself automatically wen the analog modem is disconnected?
    At home i have to use an analog modem to connect to the internet (no adsl coverage), under Snow Leopard i was able to create a wi-fi Network to share files and connection between an iMac (connected directly to the internet), an iPhone, a MacBook and a Ps3.
    With lion, apple introduced a new feature in the internet sharing tools: in fact the wi-fi connection is turned ON only when the modem (or the selected internet source whatever it is) is connected to the internet, when i disconnect it all the network is turned Of.
    So, there is any way to keep alive the network also when the modem is disconnected, like when i was under Snow Leopard?
    tanks in advice or the help and sorry for my terrible english

  • How to prevent the User from loading more than one seq file?

    Hi,
    I would like to prevent the tester operator from loading more than one test sequence.  Any ideas how to do it?
    Thanks

    Hi Marty,
    Marty_H wrote:
    Hello mhousel,
    Testexec.exe by default loads the sequence files that were last open when it runs.  It is often desired behavior to have multiple sequence files load automatically. 
    [Mark Housel] Maybe for some but certainly not for me. 
    This should be easily handled by TestStand without any problems.  What do you mean by "chaos ensues"? 
    Certainly Teststand doesn't care a bit how many sequences are open.  But, when my sequences open they initialize HW of the ATE associated with
    that sequence file during the sequenceFileLoad callback.  e.g. I allocate TELNET handles to a terminal
    server that connects to multiple console within the system and als for
    the UUT.
    If a second sequence opens it knows nothing about the other sequence and again tries to open a TELENT session to the same port of the
    terminal server and obviously fails, so my sequence reports that it
    can't properly initialize the ATE HW.  Bad juju!
    Are your sequence files set to run automatically when they are loaded?
    I guess so.  Other than the trick of logging in as the special noExecution user and having special code in my sequence and modified Process Model I have no idea how to prevent a sequence fronm "runnin" when opened.
    If you want to prevent Testexec.exe from loading multiple files, you should be able to close out one of the open files when it loads and that sequence file should not load in the future.  I hope that helps.
    The trick I read somewhere else of modifying the Testexec.uir file to never re-load a sequence file automatically seemes to have covered up solved the problem.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • CFmail errors- how to prevent error message from user?

    Greetings
    I have an app in which the admin user sends notices to Vendors who have signed up to recieve emails when a new bid is posted.
    Even though I have "required="yes" validate="email"" at intial Vendor sign up (I think email validation is better served using Javascript, I've heard anyway) inevitably, contact emails go bad- and there are about 5000 vendors in the system.
    When a user (admin) sends the notices, if there is a mal-formed or dead email address in the DB, it dislays my default error screen even though the send transaction was successful.
    Any advice on how to prevent this?
