I have AOL email but prefer to use mozilla search engine - do I have to load AOL on my computer ?

having both loaded on my computer just takes up too much space. my problem has been that when I try to send email via a website I have visited, it automatically tries to use OUTLOOK even though AOL has been designated as my preference. to solve this, I loaded AOL as well and have not had the problem since.

Can we suggest any what? I'm not sure what you're asking here.
It looks like you're already using the newest versions of Firefox and Flash player, so you should be able to use YouTube just fine (even on an old Mac).

  • Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)  Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories

    Safari Version 6.0.2 (7536.26.17)
    I believe my problems stem from the public side of Yahoo where I go to open my Yahoo Email account, and/or from the file I get in
    email.
    Yahoo security - Using Yahoo search engine: while logged into Yahoo my entire screen gets taken over by a full page popup add/i've cleared histories & cookies & flash cookies but the problem returns, sometimes right away, sometime on the next log on … what to do … . I’ve heard of this problem being called a form of ‘yahoo mail hijacking’.
    Yahoo is better than Google right now. While using Google as a search engine and logged into Yahoo-mail the page elevator (up& down) bar actually freezes, a dead giveaway that something is up. So far nothing I do will stop the page elevator from freezing when I'm using the Google search engine. I either have to use the Yahoo or Bing search engines.
    MacPro w/OS X ver 10.7.5 & Norton Internet Security 5 for Mac ver 12.4 (73) /  I update Norton security at least 3-times a day. I thing I get the bug when I log onto my Yahoo Email and go through my emails. When problems get constant I Reset Safari then run flush to burn flash cookies. What else can I do?
    Yahoo wanted $58-bucks for a consult, that’s ********. You would think Yahoo would want to be advised of ongoing Yahoo Searchengine / Yahoo Email problems, and want to help there users with ongoing problems. Sure they will help me with their problem for $58, and probably even suggest even less than what I am already doing on my own.

    It's hard to tell from your description what is going on, but try this first.
    Quit Safari. If it won't quit in the usual way, select
     ▹ Force Quit...
    from the menu bar, then select Safari from the list and press return.
    Relaunch Safari by holding down the shift  key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the bad page from reloading automatically. From the menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Also get rid of the useless Norton crapware, after backing up all data.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

  • LOve Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

    Love Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

    Please do the following.<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options''' | '''Privacy'''.<br><br>
    #In the dropdown menu at the top, change it to "'''Use custom settings for history'''"<br><br>
    #Checkmark the option: "'''Remember Search and Form history'''".<br><br>
    #Remove the checkmark from: "'''Clear history when Firefox closes'''".

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Why does the message '500 internal server error' appear when I use any search engine?

    I am able to type a web address and use the internet successfully but when using ANY search engine I get the '500 internal server error' message. This appears if I type in a word to search '''bold text'''and the result is the error message. I have recently uninstalled rapport and hitman pro. Please help.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    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.

  • Why, when using a search engine i.e. Google or Bing does Firefox 'hang' and not allow any input

    When I use a search engine i.e. Google or Bing, the site and Firefox crashes or 'hangs' and does not allow any action to be taken. Even if the window has been closed, Firefox continues to run but cannot be seen by 'Task Manager' resulting in me having to restart my Laptop in order to use Firefox again.
    Note: This only happens with Firefox, other browsers work fine with these sites.

  • When I use a search engine in Firefox, the links redirect me to some spam, and not the site the search engine found.

    When I use a search engine in Firefox, whether it be google, or Yahoo, the links found by the search engine, re-direct me somewhere else. For instance when I searched for Places to Buy PC Games. www.gamestop.com popped up. When I clicked the link, it took me to some laptop hardware site. But if I type in the url for Gamestop, it takes me to their website. This has happened for several searches, several different links. I tried Internet Explorer thinking it may be a problem with the search engines. But IE is working fine for this.

    This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

  • Help ! I am connected to my WIFI and receiving email but I cannot use any apps that require  internet  including Safari, What do I need to do?

    I am having a problem with  Internet  on my ipad, I am connected to my WIFI and am receiving emails but any App that requires internet connection will not work, this includes Safari. Everything worked fine until yesterday.

    I too, am having this problem. I have the new iPad. I have a full strength wifi signal (currently at home and with my personal hotspot) but apps that need the internet including google chrome and safari do not search. Safari says "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." other apps just spin like it is searching for a signal or something. Frustrating, because it was working, it seems to have taken this route after uploading some new apps, but can't pinpoint. Help! Please!

  • We have an adword(vioolverkoop.nl) account at Google. If i use the search engine of firefox all our competitors are shown except for us. When i use IE or Chrome the problem doesn't occur. What do I have to do to appear as a sponsored result in the results

    We pay for our adwords at Google just as our competitors do. However they appear(e.g. violinshop.eu) but we(vioolverkoop.nl) don't
    Please help us.

    I don't think I can replicate your results without knowing your keywords. I tested using ''used cars'' and got quite a bit of variation.
    If I search from the Firefox about:home page, I get this results page URL:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=used%20cars&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&source=hp&channel=np
    If I use the search box, I get this shorter URL:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=used+cars&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    I get slightly different ads, and in the right column, a different order; in some cases the same advertiser has different text.
    In IE 8 using the search box, I get:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=used+cars&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=
    The ads are slightly different again. In all 3 cases, Google is detecting my IP address city and effectively serving localized ads.

  • It seems to freeze EVERYTIME idk if this is due to fire fox 4 being incompatible with the yahoo browser. but it freezes when it uses that search engine

    Ahh, the toolbar is still on system. I thought ComboFix got it. I think I'll uninstall Mozilla prior to initiating the fix procedures you linked. The extracare service tech support I'm paying Frontier (ISP) isn't worth a lick. After I thought I had removed, I called them and had my system scoured by them. May need to cancel that $14.90/month service...seems to have been a waste.
    Thank you so much.
    I will be back with an update. Cross your fingers for me.

  • Firefox default start page uses facemoods search engine instead of google

    Hi, I have issue with Firefox. Today I’ve notice that when I’m using search option on default Firefox 4.0 start page (about:home), results are displayed with Facemoods search engine instead of Google. I have uninstalled Facemoods from system and Firefox, yet it didn't work.

    I haven't heard of this one before. The uninstall must have left behind a few settings.
    The page corresponding to "about:home" must be set in a hidden preference. You can search for and reset it using the about:config feature.
    (1) Type or page '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please be careful)
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''facemoods''' and pause while Firefox searches
    (3) The bolded lines show changes from the original Firefox setup. Some you might want to save, but mostly you would want to reset them to default. Right-click each one you want to change and choose Reset.
    This blog post describes an additional fix for the address bar search feature if you use that: [http://www.flywithmysoul.com/2010/09/remove-facemood-from-firefox.html Fly With Me: Remove Facemood From Firefox].
    Finally, I found a very long cleanup guide on the Spybot S&D forums which might be useful if the above doesn't solve it: [http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=61616 Manual Removal Guide for Toolbar.Facemood - Safer-Networking Forums].
