Latest update of SwagBucks has hijacked my Open New Tab and uninstalling does not fix... so what now?

The latest auto update of SwagBucks now locks the Open New Tab page into swagbucks.com.
I've lost my TILES page.
My HOME page is still correctly set and regardless of what that is, the Open New Tab page always goes to SwagBucks.com.
I've removed everything I can find that is SwagBucks, including add-ons/extensions.
Since that update, there is NO LONGER the usual/stated "cogwheel" for the TILES to turn them back on/set their level of function (classic, enhanced, etc.).
I use Windows 7 and the latest Firefox Browser, 35.0.1.

Install this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
It will reset the new tab page, among other things, and then disappear once it has done its work.

I cannot open new tab and get rid of the annoying tool bar. Help!

I click on plus sign, it says "open new tab", but it does not open
Also, I want to uninstall the tool bar, but the message says it does not exist.
At first I thought I got a virus, but I uninstalled and re-installed M.Firefax twice already and the issue remains

Help: Just finished shooting a wedding and Aperture crashes constantly during editing. All pic's in RAW and even after making sure I have the latest Aperture update, I have had to rebuild my library twice and "repair" does not seem to fix the issue. Help?

Well!
If you have ThunderBolt, I would go with such for an External Working Drive, spinning platter or SSD depending on your budget
This does not have to be huge just big enough to house your most current Jobs
Once the Current Job is put to rest I would move it to a larger multi bay hard drive unit, USB or FireWire nothing fancy, no RAID, set up as one single Disk
This would only be accessed when something is needed from a past Job so the connection does not have to be speedy
The Drobo would be relegated to Vaults and backups
You can set up a Vault on the Drobo to back up the External Working Library and then Reconnect it when you have moved the Library over to the other Enclosure
This has worked for me pretty smoothly for a long while, but I have found over the years that one can not assume all people work in the same manner! :-)

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now. HELP!!!

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

Computer says 'one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it'. what do i do?

i have an ipod nano 7th gen and when i plug it in for itunes my computer says 'one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it'. what do i do?

As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users. Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

The only time i can get a new tab to open is if i go to "Help" and click "Firefox Help" then a new tab with firefox help opens.

I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does not start now

i updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 and it does not start now

That message usually means you hacked the phone to unlock it.
When you updated your IOS it locked back up to the original phone carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
Is this the case?

I cant open new tabs and instead have to open new windows - vert frustrating

I cannot open new tabs in the firefox browser. (this has only just started happening. previously it worked fine)
I have tried a number of different ways and it doesnt open.
Internet explorer does not have the same problem

Disable the Ask Toolbar extension - it is known to cause a problem with opening new Tabs in Firefox 3.6.13.

Safari setting on iPad "Open New Tabs in Background" is not working

A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to see the tab bar in Safari, on my iPad, just like on my MacBook.
So, I went to...
Settings >> Safari
...and I turned OFF the setting "Open New Tabs in Background".
Then, the tab bar appeared and every new page that I opened displayed across the tab bar in a new tab, just like I wanted.
Today, I devised that I liked the pages in the background a lot better and I changed the setting to ON.
PROBLEM: the Tab Bar remains, no matter how many pages are open.
What's worse is that, in the menu bar, next to the bookmark and box-arrow icon, the numbered icon is missing (the icon that displays the number of the pages that you have open).
How do I get that icon back and the Tab Bar to disappear?

Looks like some confusion here.
Safari on an iPad running iOS 6 as your signature implies does not open separate pages and the box with the number of open pages is not there. This was how Safari on an iPad worked in an earlier version of the iOS but safari presently only supports tabs.
When you select to turn on Open Pages in the Background, select a link and opening it in a new page will create a new tab and the link will load there BUT Safari on your iPad will remain on the original page. You'll need to tap the ba to see the new page. Turning off Open Pages in the Background will let Safari switch to the new tab immediately.
An iPhone, however, retains the old feature of separate windows and there is a box with a number at the bottom of the screen letting your know how many windows you have open.

Upgrading to Firefox 28 has given me issues opening new tabs. How do I fix this?

I'm on Windows 7 and regretting the fact that I downloaded Firefox 28. Before this, I had no issues at all. But now, if I go to File, then New Tab, nothing happens. If I click on the plus sign Open a New Tab button, nothing happens. Using CTRL + T doesn't work either. However, if I exit Firefox entirely and open it right back up, several new blank tabs appear. The only working way to open up a new tab is by using the right click menu. How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Opening new window from applet does not pass session

I have an applet which has a function where it opens some jsp pages in a new window. The jsp page checks for a session variable to very the user is logged in and some other variables that are required on the page. My problem is in IE 6/7 the new window does not have the session variables from the parent window.
I'm using
context.showDocument(new URL(host + "?" + params.toString()), "_blank");
to open the new windows.
How can I open a jsp age in a new window while carrying over the session variables from the parent/applet window?
Thanks for any assistance!

We experienced the same thing with Java 6 Update 18 on IE 7. As for IE 8, if the user is a local administrator, then the session is kept in the new browser windows opened via showDocument. Check out the following URL for related discussions:

Our clients are forced to roll back to Java 6 Update 17. Firefox works fine.

I use high contrast mode (am visually impaired); just upgraded to 8.0. When I open a new tab, the background does not high contrast, showing white until the page loads. Is there a setting that can be adjusted to fix this, or is this permanent?

I use Windows Vista, and I use the default Alt+Shift+PrtScn high contrast mode for white text on a black background. I only notice when I click a link that opens a new tab or open a tab via the mouse wheel that becomes the main tab. I can't switch tabs fast enough if I click a link that doesn't open as the main tab to tell if the problem persists. The duration of the non-high contrast background is only as long as the page takes to load. There does not seem to be much lag, but the lack of high contrast is painful enough that I have to close my eyes, so I'm not sure. On a related note, the new status information does not high contrast either, making it impossible for me to read.
