I have a strange toolbar called, "My Web Search Toolbar." I do not know how it got there and I have tried everything to remove it. Can you tell me in detail how remove It?

I think that this toolbar came with a program which I downloaded called Dictionary Boss. Each time I bring up Firefox this "My Websearch Home Page" come up and replace Google. It seems to me that this websearch thing has become a part of FireFox. I have tried everything including deleted Dictionary Boss and this toolbar will not go away.
Please help me.

This is from a good looking answer to a similar question, from the Search Firefox Help box at the top of this page -

    I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

    Bill,
    I know your case well. It comes with the Antec SL350, which has enough power for your system.
    I would try different RAM just to see if you have a bad stick.
    Take Care,

  • TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi.  This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help.  I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

    My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem.  It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey.  I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e.  network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing.  I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem.  Please please what do I do?

  • HT1695 i recently upgraded to ios6 on my ipad and now i cant connect to my wifi. all my other devices work. i have tried resetting network settings. please can you help this is now getting riduculous. i am currently in tanzania and i have no access to any

    how can i relsolve my wifi issue with ios6 with my ipad. its been three days without internet. my ipad is having trouble detecting a wifi signal it finds my home network and then disaapears within seconds

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I cannot run the 13.0r0 flashplayer with the 28.0 firefox. I have tried EVERYTHING! I also can no longer run an archived player just tell me to update.

    running firefox 28, trying to run flashplayer 13.0r0, have windows vista. At this point I can't even pull up the logo to disable the acceleration - that is the only thing I have not been able to try. All I ever get is that the flashplayer has stopped and windows is searching for a solution..... I also did the firefox reset which did not work. Is this fixable or do I need to purchase a new modem????

    You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0. Spellchecker is included and I have downloaded English Dictionary as Addon. It does not work on website. Spellchecker does not show up in Context Menu. I have tried every other source. Can you help please?

    I understand that Spellchecker is pre-installed but I cannot verify this is the case with v.4.0 Firefox. I have right-clicked on webpages and it does not say Dictionary is missing, so I assume the problem remains with Spellchecker. I expected to find Spellchecker and Languages under Edit in nav bar but it does not show up, What must I do? Richard

    That should work on a Mac as well.
    You did download and install the French version?
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • I'm English but live in Germany.I have version 3.6, but cannot get Google to load in English. It see's my IP address and opens the German version. I think I have tried everything, nothing works. Can somebody help

    I have set www.google.com as my home address, this always opens the German website, but at least there is a link to Google.com. If I open any other page before changing, it is always the German version, and there is no way to change it.
    I don't have this problem with Explorer 8
    Any ideas?
    Regards

    It is not the solution for me. I have a second pc witrh FireFox 3.6plus running on Windows XP service pack 3 This works fine, I get Google in English as normal.
    The problem is with my Windows 7 pc, as the Google setup is the same, it must be something local.

  • I purchased "Pages" on my ipad and have it on my iphone. Can you tell me if I can get on my Dell laptop.

    I purchased "Pages" on my ipad and downloaded it on my iphone and the data goes between both. I would like to have the ability to use "Pages" on my Dell laptop. Is is possible? Or do I need an Apple laptop? I appreciate any help you can provide, as I've been learning to use these things, through trial and error.
    Not the best way, I know.
    Thanks

    Indeed. You would actually have to buy an Apple computer (it doesn't have to be a laptop, depending on what you plan, a mac mini or an iMac would work of course). But, the version of Pages that you bought is for iOS only. You would have to buy the Mac OS X version of Pages for your Mac. But compared to the price of the Apple computer itself, this might not be the major issue ;-)

    If I gift an App,....
    How do I know it has been delivered and how do I know it has got there?
    Do I get an email or message?

    You can try reaching out to iTunes support and see if they can tell you if a purchased code has been redeemed or not, but I don't know if they track that.
    I'm guessing you cannot ask the gift receiver?
