I guess i updated to latest version of Firefox and now i have a bunch of crap at the top of the screen that i want to get rid of. can't find any way to do it. i want my old opening window.

Don't want "newspapers," "real estate," etc. at top of window. Unnecessary stuff. with previous version of Firefox it wasn't there. don't want it. no noticeable way to get rid of it.

Is that part of the web page or is that positioned on a toolbar?
*Firefox > Options
*View > Toolbars
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

    I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now I can no longer download facebook videos with realplayer as I formerly could. How can I downgrade to my previous version of Firefox?

    Many thanks b Noir
    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
    The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting  GEAR drive is from:

  • The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

    As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

    On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
    You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
    The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

  • Downloaded latest version of Firefox and now can't open any Excel files

    The problem started right after I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (4?). When I try to open my Excel files I get a Windows error message and then it says that Excel can not find the file.

    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.

  • I installed the latest version of Firefox and now cannot pull up my Gmail account. I keep getting an error message about a cookie problem.

    I can switch to my IE site and it comes right up but never on Mozilla. I do not know a lot about cookies to try them and not cause a more serious problem.

    It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    You may need to do a clean install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I just installed the latest version of Firefox and now the Google search engine won't work. Why?

    I just installed Firefox 30.0 and now my search engine isn't working. Is there something in the new version interfering with Google search?

    Are you using the Search box located at the top right corner of Firefox or the actual Google homepage?
    I see that you have a user.js file currently active in Firefox. It's only there if you or a 3rd party program created it otherwise it's not normally there.
    You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
    or
    *Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

  • I recently upgraded to the latest version of FF and now when using a webmail client I am routinely logged out when I try to search e-mail. Why? I go to IE and it works... but, I hate IE.

    Unstable means it can vary in stability day by day as it can be crash prone to being stable. Features can be a work in progress for a while. The May 24 Nighty build was crash prone for a lot of testers for example.

  • Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0

    Thanks

    Personally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
    The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
    FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version.

    What you should see on a restart is a black screen followed by a screen with the Apple (at which point you let go of the two buttons). There is no progress bar, just the Apple. The Apple will stay there for 15 seconds or so, then the "Slide to Unlock" screen will redisplay.
    But, I don't think the reset will fix it for you. I just tested it, and it comes back on with the zoom still on. The only way to get it to zoom out is the tapping with the 3 fingers.
    I said to double-tap....MY BAD! You need to triple-tap with three fingers!
    Try that and see if it will display the zoom menu for you, or if it will zoom back out.

  • I just recently installed Lion and now my 27" imac thinks it's a 24". I can't find any way to correct it, help?

    Pretty much like it says up top.
    I have a 27" imac that was running 10.6. Now that I upgraded to 10.7, it thinks it's a 24" for some reason and the resolution differential is making my mouse track annoying slow while inside programs. (But not on the desktop, oddly.)
    I can't find ANY way to correct this thing's assumptions about how big it is. Can someone help me convince my computer it's not that small?

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM, and recheck the Display preference pane:
