I don't know why, but firefox is oppening Adds in almost every website i open and shows me on wikipedia " URL" link shortcuts for certain words, sudenly

Almost 12 hours ago, after opening the browser ( home page is https://www.google.ro/ ) I navigated to wikipedia to search for a airplane and suddenly it opened by itself a new window with a " Mozilla annually survey ". I took that survey, which was consisting of 4 questions.
After that survey, randomly firefox started opening Adds.
I'll post here the link which i think might be " doing" this, if this is some kind a virus.... I'm just saying, because i can't find any explanation.

I have uploaded a Print Screenof my firefox and the Windows 7 Task Manager. You can see that firefox is using a big amunt of RAM and the Flash Player plugin too, half a gigabyte. I don't think it's normal, because it has never used so much memory not even when i opened 10 videos simultaneously on youtube that uses this plugin.
I hope that the picture has been uploaded, because in the last 10 minutes that I've spent writing this the square picture where the uploaded file should be has been loading all the time. Even now it is saying ""Uploading "Firefox Problem 3.png"... """ .
if you need more from me to tell you, i will.
Best regards
Cosmin

I bought an album on itunes of my ipod touch 4. I don't know why but the album is deleted of my ipod and it isn't on itunes of my computer. With my computer, how can I re-download my album without having to buying it again???

read my question. also, I don't know why but I cant click on "achat" or purchase on itunes store...

It can take a day or even two sometimes before the transaction is processed. Paypal is then the first to inform you by email and later it is Apple. I have a credit card in my Paypal account which means that I don't have to put money into Paypal.
And if the purchase is not billed at all, no problem at all I guess.

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I don’t know why but I create a WEB site and my friends who use a pc windows, have a lot of trouble when they open my movies. The other friends who use Apple, they don’t have problem. I have iMovie11 and my extension file is .m4v. Is it because the extension .m4v is bad for windows ?

No web site expert here but I would suggest changing the .m4v to .mp4 and ask one of those friends if they still have problems. .m4v is something I always associate with iTunes and don't really see it used elsewhere.

Images loaded fine in the previous version of firefox, but now do not open in firefox 5. It is our business' website. it opens and looks fine in explorer and other browsers.

Images (actually graphics) loaded fine in the previous version of firefox, but now do not open in firefox 5. It is our business' website. it opens and looks fine in explorer and other browsers. However, please goto www.trinitystone.biz (using Firefox 5)and look at how the top menu bar has a black box surrounding it and the bottom menu also has this black bar. It is not supposed to be there, if you view the site from IE, you will see what it is supposed to look like. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

I don't know why but suddenly Firefox won't open anymore. I discovered that it will open again as long as MSIE is running. Why and how can I fix this?

I've been using Firefox no problem for a long time but suddenly it stopped running today. I click on the icon and nothing happens. I updated to the most recent (just in case) and it still isn't loading up. Out of frustration I opened MSIE to search for this problem and I noticed that Firefox was working again. But, when I closed out of MSIE I couldn't get Firefox to work.

Not sure what you mean then. Is QuickTime still open and playing the video? If so, do you mean you can't even get back to QT to shut it down?
Check the Dock for the QT logo. Click it to bring that app to the foreground. The menu bar then should say QuickTIme Player next to the Apple logo. Close the app and the video will shut down with it.

I don't know why, but everytime I open my browser Bing pops up.

I uninstalled the search engine, I started my browser with the add-ons disabled, and I don't have the DIV add-on so I don't know what to do! But every time I open my browser Bing pops up. However, when I hit my home button, it takes me directly to my homepage (which should have came up first), so I know my homepage didn't get reset.
It also happens when I let my computer sleep, and I re-open it, Bing pops open another tab and its the first thing that opens. I don't know what to do to get rid of it, but it is driving me insane!!! Please help!!

My computer is running extremely slow, especially the internet. I don't know why, but I need it fixed. Help?

Okay, I have restarted and shut down my computer to help it act right. I have reset safari, deleted my history, everything and it is still running slow! I have full bars of the internet as well, so I don't understand why it is running so slow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Go step by step and test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.

I have an MPEG4 movie running. I don't know why but Quicktime Player will not let me open this file now to shut it down. Any tips on how to do this? I've tried installing an older version QuickTime Player 7. OS Maveriks

I have an iMac with an OSX 10.9.5. I have an MPEG4 program that is running. QuickTime Player can't open it up for me to stop it. What are my options? I've tried downloading QuickTime Player 7, an older version but that hasn't helped.

Not sure what you mean then. Is QuickTime still open and playing the video? If so, do you mean you can't even get back to QT to shut it down?
Check the Dock for the QT logo. Click it to bring that app to the foreground. The menu bar then should say QuickTIme Player next to the Apple logo. Close the app and the video will shut down with it.
