I am sick of yahoo pages appearing when i even click a web link to get to another page on that site. this is rubbish. i am going to ditch you firefox .

how can i stop these stupid yahoo pages interrupting my browsing i am in NZ and fed up with this.

On Mac, the most common reason to get this is Spigot or Conduit add-ons. You can check for those on the Add-ons page, either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Note that such add-ons may have been part of a bundle with something else and may be re-injected into Firefox if the bundle installer is not removed from your system.

When ever I click on a link I get redirected. How can I prevent this?

When I do a search on Google, or Yahoo, a page comes up filled with all the possible links. When I click on a link I get redirected to a website that isn't the one I chose. By copying the web address under the description, and pasting it in the address bar I'm able to go to the right site. But this method is awkward, and I'd like to find a way to stop being redirected.

Is there a way to change the order of the list that appears when i right click on a link?

In previous versions of firefox, when i right clicked on a link the list that appeareded was in order:
first Open Link in New Window
second Open Link in New Tab
In firefox 4 this is reversed. Is there a way to change it back?

You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

For some reason, when ever I click on a link to go to another page in an existing page like facebook or YouTube, I'm taken back to my main startup home page

I cant navigate inside firefox.... this page here has been the only place that my mouse will take me to any new page... when I try to go to different links inside any of my normal sites, like facebook or youtube, if I click on any link inside them I am taken back to my main home page.... I also can not single click open any of the icons next to the firefox name at the top left of my screen, history, bookmarks, tools, none of those work unless I hold my mouse button down and then scroll down to what I need... I have cleaned my mouse, and it works fine on my husbands comp, and works fine offline on mine... it is only in firefox that I seem to be having a problem... what can I do?

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

This most likely means that either the server is unavailable, or your email settings are corrupted. Try deleting the account, rebooting the phone, and adding it back.

When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

That issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
