I've had Mozilla Firefox for a long time...now it's infected with Searchnu and I'm trying to get rid of it! What is your recommentdation?

I can work around this by asking Foxfire to open the News Headlines, but goodness knows where else this bug is going. I'd really appreciate help direct from a Foxfire Tech.
I understand this is a browser hijacker....I just want it GONE...
Any help you can give would be appreciated.

  • I have had Mozilla Firefox for years...now it won't load, but Int.Explorer will. What is wrong?

    When I click on the icon or the program it self, or right-click and press OPEN, I get an hourglass, then nothing. It will NOT open. I CAN open Internet Explorer, then open Mozilla Firefox, but what's the point in going through all of that.
    This has happened 3 or 4 times before and after a few days begins to work again.
    Once I was trying out Google's Chrome, and it quit, but after I uninstalled Chrome, Mozilla started again. Is it that fragile? I really don't know of anything that might have stopped it this time. I am about ready to just give up and uninstall it and go back to Internet Explorer...even though I don't really like it...at least it works every time!
    Thanks for any help you may have.

    This is most likely because of a recent Flash update (11.3) which has been causing some problems in Firefox recently.
    You can try reading the following articles to see if there is a good resolution for your problem:

  • I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

    That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

    I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?

    First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
    But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too.

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • I was using firefox to play mirror ball Casino in facebook for a long time then it updated to version 13 and now today 14 and still it is choppy and dont work a

    I have used firefox for a very long time now. all of a sudden like when it went to version 13 or 1.3 it slowed my mirrorball slots down on facebook so slow I had to download Opera to play it but it plays great in opera and IE. was wondering what changed in both versions to make this happen cause it worked fine up till the 13 and 14 update. the page loads sluggish and game plays slow motion and crappy now. and I changed nothing about FF.

    Hi,
    You can try right-clicking the game window > '''Settings''' and deselect '''Enable hardware acceleration'''. If the problem persists, you can try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-plus/ IE Tab +] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab/ IE Tab] to open problematic sites inside Firefox.

  • Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and hogs memory.

    Since one of the recent updates that started using plugin containers, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back it, it tells me it is still running. I liik in Task Manager and about seven plug-in container. exe's are running and I have turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, even Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and has made it sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin containers in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or doesn't offer me, rather, it uses way too much RAM and is too sluggish. And takes a very long time to close out when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it used to.

    Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
    See "Hang at exit":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

    … the funny thing, this article and all other profound advice been found on the net, miss to mention a very basic advice:
    first of all, a MC is clip as any other !
    … sounds perhaps a bit … too basic , but  - as an amateur like me, and using MCs almost any day - you should keep that in mind for your workflow.
    After creating a MC, which can be done in seconds!, you get a single clip in the Events browser - and you should treat it as any other clip:
    select parts of it, add it to your timeline, you can add it to secondary (for pic-in-pic for example), you can split it, shift it, nudge it, ...
    aaaand you can select a diff. perspective = camera (or mic…), without losing synch.
    I'm noticing, people spend way too much time in the multi-track timeline view of an MC, in hope, this gives them back those 'tracks' FCPX doesn't offer (for good reasons...)

  • I have been a user of Firefox for a long time but it seems to have gotten really slow. IE will open web sites much faster than firefox on all 3 of my computers. Is there something wrong, boged down or do I need to reinstall it?

    It seems that it is taking twice as long for firefox to open the same websites as ie. I run updates but seems to just be taking a long time for it to open sites and I can open with IE in much less time?
    == URL of affected sites ==

  • How to get storage on my phone again. PLEASE HELP this has been an issue for a LONG time now.

    almost ALL of my iphones memory is being taken up by "other" i only have 1 GB of pictures & under 1 GB of apps. I actually had to delete all my apps just so i would still have space on my phone. I am not looking to buy more memory. My family cant really waste our money on that kind of stuff right now. I have tried restarting my phone but when i back up to icloud my phone is full of memory still. No i have no problem with getting all my pictures off my computer. But is there a way to reset my phone and ONLY keep my contacts. No other memory stays on my phone just my contacts. that way other will go away? If i need to go to the apple store i will go there. I just need to know what to do. another question i had was, now that i downloaded the icloud pannel, if i were to delete my icloud backup account, would all my information, like contacts, notes, reminders, etc, still be saved on icloud.com ? so i could just reset my phone completely. Get all my contacts off of icloud.com. & download all my pictures from my laptop onto my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER. this has been a major problem for me for about a year & now its getting to the point where theres nothing left i can do. It's really stressing ALWAYS having to get online to try to find a way for my phone to not run out of storage. Please and thank you.

  • I've had Firefox forever. But I hate Bing. I've uninstalled firefox 3 times but Bing installs along with it. If I can't get rid of Bing, then Firefox has to go

    There is no trace of Bing in any program or default. Is Firefox loading it onto my computer? How can I keep Firefox but get rid of the Bing?

    ''cja2 [[#answer-724751|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    I removed the Bing toolbar immediately, and I removed it as a default search engine. But it stayed as the default for when a tab is opened. I uninstalled Firefox but Bing came with Firefox every time. Has Firefox partnered with Bing in a way that Bing is part of the package? I hate Bing and will remove Firefox if it includes Bing
    </blockquote>
    If you are getting Bing when you click on new tab try this: Type '''about:config''' into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to '''browser.newtab.url''' and make sure 'Value' is set to '''about:newtab''' (right click to change it if necessary).
    Also, if you haven't already, please run the malware removal programs in my original answer.
