Links go to wrong websites

If I search something on Google or another search portal, my request brings up a bunch of links like normal. Then when I click on the link it brings me to totally different websites than it's supposed to. This only started after downloading the new version. It does this every time. For instance I just searched sams club chesapeake, va. The links showed up like normal, Samsclub.com came up first. I clicked on it and it brought me to this junk consumer search website. It's like the browser has a virus or something. Very weird. It does this with every site I go to since I have downloaded the new version... If I were to type samsclub.com in the url it works fine. Just can't click on any of my search queries. Any help?
Thank you

  • Three questions: (1) hard to get firefox to close; (2) can't download linked PDFs from journal websites, as I can with safari; (3) how do I migrate my complete firefox setup from old mac computer to new mac.

    I am running firefox on a 4-year-old macbook. When I want to close the firefox application, for example when I am shutting down the computer, it hangs, will not quit. Sometimes I get a prompt about continuing a script and after I click on that, then it closes. Often, however, I have to do a force quit ("firefox not responding").
    I am going to be setting up soon on a new macbook.
    My firefox has been elaborated with several add-ons, including read it later and a couple of feed add-ons. I have an elaborate bookmark and tab group setup. Will it be possible to migrate all of that to the new computer.
    Will my having a fresh new computer resolve the problem with getting the application to close? Or should I be concerned about importing the problem along with the application?
    The other question concerns downloading of PDF files that are linked at medical journal websites, where I have permission for download of articles. I can do this in safari. But the process is not working in firefox. The blank window comes up like I am going to get a download prompt, but then that does not happen.

    I did that :
    Open Terminal
    1 - wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-8.rpm
    2 - sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-8.rpm
    3 - sudo mousepad /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
    Make sur that in remi section enabled value = 1 and in test section enabled value= 0
    4 - sudo rpm -e --nodeps firefox
    5 - sudo yum install firefox
    It was successful for me after many hours to look for the right answer

  • I am asked to select an app each time I attempt to open a linked file via a website. How do I tell firefox to use the same app every time?

    I have a website; www.designed4submariners.com. On several pages, I have created links to images which are located in a upload file folder. Each time I click on one of those links on the active website (using Firefox as browser), a dialog box appears asking me: What should Firefox do with this file? Beneath the question is a pull down menu which has "TextEdit (defualt)" selected next to a radio button. The image file will open in a browser window when I select Firefox from that pull down menu. I can not tell Firefox to open all similar files using Firefox. How can I resolve this issue as I must go through the same process each time I attempt to open one of those links.

    Your response identifies the issue exactly! My website is hosted by GoDaddy. I have forwarded your linked information to their tech department. The URL below my signature is the site having the problem I've outlined when attempting to access linked images.

  • Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

  • TREX Search : static HTML pages in KM with links to other intranet websites

    Hi there,
    we have some static HTML pages stored in KM. Besides text, these pages contain links ot other intranet websites, pdf or word documents.
    I have defined an index, according to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">creating an index</a>
    Following parameters have been added :
    IndexInternalLinks = true
    indexContentOfExternalLink = true
    showWithoutDatasource = true
    Already had a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Crawlers and Crawler Parameters</a>, tried by creating a new crawler profile and setting
    Maximum Depth = 3 (we want to search three levels deep)
    There is also <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Resource Filters</a>
    The html pages itself are included in the index, but the content of the external links is not included.
    Would this be possible? We don't want to define an <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">HTTP System</a> in the system landscape, as we don't need to index the whole external website and some parts of it are obsolete - we only want following the links and included the external content in the index.
    Portal version is NW2004S SP10.
    Thanks & best regards,

    Hello Kevin,
    If you don't want to create a HTTP system then you can create a simple web repository.
    For details you can follow help guide:

  • Link tree is wrong

    Link tree is wrong. This is what is displayed at the top of the screen.
    Forum Home » Java Essentials » Java Programming
    What should be there is
    Forum Home » Java » Java Essentials » Java Programming
    And that is obviously what it should in fact be because if you are in Java Essentials and hit the Up Category link then it sends you to the Java page.

    Dude, we covered this (twice) already.
    Of course I can't be more specific because there are no F!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!'n

  • Why, after selecting it as a link to an external website, does the word disappear under a black box

    I would like to create a link to an external website.  But when I select the words and then type the url containing http:// in the "Link" field, the words disappear under a black box.  How do I correct this?

    Hello Nancy O:
        Without the link applied, the page looks fine in the browser.  But I am trying to figure out what is going on in the CSS file that would cause this.  When I move the mouse over the design view, I notice that outlines forming boxes appear.  They overlap the text that I want to create a link with.  I tried deleting a box that overlapped the text, but doing so didn't work. I tried increasing the z index, but that didn't work.  I tried applying an id instead of a class, but that also didn't work.  I'll keep working on the css file.  Thank you.

  • Find: hard link count is wrong for /:

    I am facing this problem.
    I just installed arch linux on one of my box and I have got this error message if I do find on the root:
    find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
    I have searched through the forums and I found threads which discuss the same problem happened on /proc. But in my case it is /.
    After checking the link count for /, I didn't find anything strange.
    "ls /" shows 16 subdir in /.
    "ls -ld /" shows that / has 18 hard links.
    Is this a bug with find?

    Thanks cactus.
    You always reply fast don't you? 8)
    I seem to have find the reason from the findutils bug report mailing list.
    And this is a quote from the mail.
    Although find made me aware of the issue, the message it prints could be more useful: it doesn't show an accurate location of where the incorrect count exists (instead, it seems to use the path that you gave to find on the command line),...

  • Linking iWeb to another website

    Hi All,
    I have read the previous post about linking iWeb to another website, but I am a complete newbie to web design and need it explained to me in extreme basics.
    I purchased a name from a company called 123-Reg in the UK. As part of the setup they allow you to create a web page using simple software. I have created a page with them and simply added a link to the iWeb page.
    This works, but ideally I would like people to be automatically connected to my iWeb page when they type in the url I bought.
    Has anybody else bought a url from 123 Reg and managed to do this?
    Any comments welcome.
    Thanks
    Iain

    I think you want to check out domain forwarding. I just looked at the 123reg web site and it looks like they offer it. Click on domains and then see if there is a web site forwarding or domain forwarding option. I do this as well. I purchased aztecwrestling.com from GoDaddy, but it brings up my iweb site www.mac.com/aztecwrestling. This way anyone who types in aztecwrestling.com is directed to my site. It is up to you whether you also want to show your iweb URL or your purchased URL after they are redirected to your site.

    I'll highlight the important parts from that link for you:
    Question wrote:I routinely use "find / -name ......", so how do I eliminate /proc from the search path?
    Answer wrote:
    I almost always use the "-xdev" option to prevent 'find' from descending
    into file systems other than the ones I explcitly specified, e.g.,
         find -xdev / /usr /var ...
    It's pretty rare that I actually want to search my entire system, which
    would include a news spool, a seldom used MS-Windows file system,
    possibly a mounted CD or DVD, ..., and of course /proc.
    why_no_proc wrote:The problem with the link count in /proc is that it changes every time a
    process is created or terminates, so the number of directories that
    'find' sees during processing might not agree with the link count that
    it read at the start. I admit that doesn't seem terribly likely unless
    the system is quite busy, but it can certainly happen.

  • Having Trouble Linking mySQL Database to Website

    I am considering a move of all my websites into Azure and setup a test account this afternoon with the free trial.  I've been able to setup the website; however, I'm having issues with the creation - more specifically the linkage - of a MySQL database
    to the site.  I've tried to link the database in a number of ways including both the existing and preview portals in addition to trying to create the new resource instead of linking. In each scenario the database is created but the linkage fails. 
    The message I keep getting is:
    Could not link resource '>DB Name>' to web site '<Site Name>'.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    hi sir,
    Thanks for you posting!
    Firstly, please make sure your MySQL database in host on Azure, not in your project.
    Secondly, if your database is create on Azure, I suggest you could try those step:
    1.delete the entire website
    2.create a new website and select add the existing MySQL database as a Linked Resource .
    Also, please see this similar issue post:
