I have a blue bar above the internet page tab that says "downloading the latest applications." It hasn't finished the downloading in the 2 weeks since I loaded Firefox. How do I get rid of it?

After I loaded Firefox and used it the 1st time, a blue bar appears above the internet page tab that says "Downloading the latest applications". No matter how long I leave the internet and compute on, it never finishes downloading. And every time I restart Firefox, the same blue bar appears. How do I get rid of this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I loaded Firefox the 1st time, and every time I open the Firefox browser.

This can be a problem with the Silverlight plugin.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

In the library there is a cirlce with a exclamination point next to a random number of songs. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it?

In the I tunes library next to a random number of songs there is a circle with an exclamation point. The songs won't play and how do I get rid of this and what does it mean?

Hi rjs317,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there are some songs that iTunes isn't able to locate, the songs may have been moved to another folder or disk. The article linked below provides more information about the exclamation point symbol and provides suggestions that will resolve most missing media issues.

A square with numbers stay on screen and in a document using Firefox, how do I get rid of those? THANKS

"A fresh ramp up on your bottom line is establishing an online business from home11, easy to start,..."
Have a look on the second line ''"business from ''home11''
This is actually a link to a website and an extract form an article I wrote. No matter what I do can I get rid of that ....11 after home. On my website http://www.WomensOnlineBusiness.com/five-fundamental-steps.html on the left sidebar buttons I have the same problem and a lot of other places. Weirdly enough not on the home page, but on all the other pages where I have the sidebuttons.
I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of these numbers - think-just guessing- it has something to do with the add-ons but in that case don't know which one.
If anybody can help me out here that would be great, as I like Firefox a lot and would hate to leave it.
Hoping for the best
PIA

I can't make out from your low-res screenshot what those gray images in the menu at the left are, but I do not see them and there is nothing int the page source that accounts for them.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Malawarebytes flags hkcu\software\conduit\ff which appears only after I have started Firefox; how do I get rid of?

Malawarebytes detects and flags the above and says it successfully removes. This appears to be true if I rerun a scan. However it continued to appear in later sessions. I finally think that I have tracked it down to firing up firefox. If I turn on my desktop and just run a scan, all is clean. I load firefox and run a scan and the pup is detected. I did in the past pick up the search facility Conduit but thought I had got rid; there is no outward sign other than the HKCU, and that was months ago.

Hi ibru, if you still have a Conduit-created "Community Toolbar" extension, those preferences will keep coming back. Make sure you've removed the extension.

AOL HAS GRABBED FIREFOX, HOW DO i GET RID OF IT?

I down loaded a PDF reader which turned out to be from AOL and AOL grabbed Firefox. I am left with the AOL search engine and Firefox is minimized in the top left hand corner of the screen. I have tried deleting Firefox and reloading. But the same thing occurs. I use AVG maintenance to take care of my PC but this doesn't get rid of AOL. Can you help?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I am using ver 6.0. I continually keep getting the search engine "ASK" as my primary search engine altho I continually either drop it down the list or even delete it! How can I permanently delete it? It comes back after a shutdown of firefox or a computer reboot.

Hi
I had this issue too after installing a couple of fileserve download programs.
It is pretty simple to stop firefox jumping to this earch engine.
In your firefox browser type
about:config
It will ask are you sure that you are going to be careful.
Select yes
In the filter bar type fileserve
For all of the results that it shows Right click and select reset
This will take your system back to normal

TS4036 my ipad is locked with a box that says icloud backup. This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi. I can't get the ipad screen to unlock even if plugged in.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Since upgrading, I keep getting a pop-up box which says "Exc in ev hl: TandypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function" What does this mean and how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance for your help! in English

The pop-up box starts when I use firefox and it keeps popping up every time a page changes or every time I do anything in Firefox. I press "okay" and multiple boxes with the same message pop-up. Again, thanks!

This issue is caused by McAfee SiteAdvisor extension. Disable or Remove it.
-> [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.

I have a blue bar above the internet page tab that says "downloading the latest applications." It hasn't finished the downloading in the 2 weeks since I loaded Firefox. How do I get rid of it?
