I right clicked on a web page and apparently activated a "node". Now, I have dimming and a long bar of "inspector options" above status bar. How to delete?

There is a long line of displays at the bottom of the Firefox screen, all starting with "div#" or "iframe.rr" or "html" or "body" --- at the far right is a rectangular box with the word "Style" and an "x" right beside it. The x will not close this bar even though it says "close inspector."
On the far left of the bothersome string is a gear/sprocket icon that is for "inspector options" which, when clicked, offers "dim the node" or "show node info." I don't want a "node" or even know what it is. I would just like this display bar along the bottom of the Firefox page to be gone.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help
== This happened ==
A few times a week

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

I cannot send email when clicking link on web page.
When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
windows live account.
I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
They create more problems then they solve with me.

If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

Every time I click something on web pages, like a link or a search bar, I get a pop-up. It's usually a semi-related pop-up, like on Apple websites, I get a lot of MacKeeper pop-ups. I let my younger brother use my laptop yesterday, and now this is happening. I think he might have downloaded something, but I don't know what it is called or anything so I don't know how to delete it.
I have a Macbook pro.
Thank you!

Your brother may have downloaded and installed something known as "adware." To see if that's the case, visit thomas_r.'s The Safe Mac website and look at the Adware Removal Guide page. You may also be able to use his Adware Removal Tool to get rid of the junk.
Good luck,

Have to repetitively click links in web pages to open in Safari

I notice that in Safari I have to click links in web pages multiple time to get them to open. I watch the progress bar to see if it is loading and look to see if the circle is spinning and it is not. I can wait for a while and still nothing so it is not me being impatient. It does it just about all the time on Facebook and it really seems to go nutz when I click links that are pictures. I constanly empty/clear my cache/cookies and run Onyx to clean up the system and still no luck. The system is completely up to date and has snow leopard 10.6.5 I even put new mouse batteries in just to rule out a clicking problem with it. It's like Safari just does not respond and has to be told twice or more to get going. Does anyone have any ideas or tricks that might help.
Thanks

Hi and welcome......
Login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there.
If you experience the same problem, launch Disk Utility /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk
If Disk Utility reports errors, follow the instructions at this link. You will need your install disc. Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Also, check System Preferences (Applications folder) - Universal Access. See if you have any accessibility features enabled, in particular, Mouse keys under the Mouse tab.

Why has "Pin as App Tab" command disappeared when I right click on a web site?

Very much like FF4 and especially App Tabs. Today when I relaunched FF (1) App Tabs have disappeared (I have been reading how to keep them when I reopen FF) and (2) I no longer have a "Pin as App Tab" command when I right click on a web site I want to pin. Anyone got any clues? I am wondering if there is a conflict with Cooliris?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Every time I right click to open a page in a new tab, it opens in a new window! Not sure why? This never happened before with earlier versions of Firefox.

Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them? When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do. Is this legit? An Ad?

That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix. Thank You very much! HD

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

I right clicked on a web page and apparently activated a "node". Now, I have dimming and a long bar of "inspector options" above status bar. How to delete?
