Next to the mozilla icon in the startmeny is an arrow for a sub menu how do I get rid of this annoying submenu with irrelevant things?

It is so freakin annoying. I will never want this shortcut to do anything but start a new browser.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • Messages icon indicates that there is an unopened message but when i go into it the message is blank and no option to delete it. Any ideas how i can get rid of this and stop it from opening up in the blank message each time i open my messages?

    The message icon on my iphone indicates that there is an unopened text message, but when i go into it, it just opens up a blank message, and there is no option to delete it. Any suggestions how i can get rid of this message, and prevent my phone from always opening up in the blank message whenever i go into my messages, rather than just opening as my inbox?
    Many thanks

    Hard restart..  While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button.   Hold them down and keep them held down.  the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen.  keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release.  This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process.  If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off.  Good luck

  • When I access AOL on Firefox a "plug in tool bar" appears on the right side of my screen obliterating my scroll bar. How do I get rid of this annoying plug in bar?

    AOL says it's your browser that is causing this, not AOL and it makes AOL pretty useless to use on Firefox. Much easier to use Windows Explorer. Can you get rid of this "browse or add plug in" bar? How do I get around this? Using Firefox on a Windows Vista operating system.

    Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

  • How do I get rid of this annoying tag at the end of my wordpress posts: // ![CDATA[ div id="" class="_mp3rocket_overlay_style" style="left: ; top: ; width: ;

    Whenever I post on my blog, this shows up at the bottom:
    <pre><nowiki>// <![CDATA[
    <div id="" class="_mp3rocket_overlay_style" style="left: ; top: ; width: ; height: ">
    // ]]>
    </nowiki></pre>
    How do I get rid of it?

    Does the name mp3rocket ring a bell?? It may be related to a browser add-on. You could check for and possibly disable or remove such an add-on here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons
    Try both the Plugins and Extensions categories.
    If it doesn't seem related to an add-on, perhaps it's something added by a Wordpress plugin, or your blog theme. If you provide a link to your blog, a volunteer here could take a look and see whether they get the same text.

    hello rscherr, you have a LOT of malicious extensions present in your profile and using an outdated and vulnerable version of firefox.
    * first i'd recommend to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]
    * then [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/update/ update firefox to the latest version] (that's firefox 23 at the moment) as soon as possible
    * run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
    * finally after you've completed the steps above please report back in the forum and include the then current troubleshooting information again, so that we can have a final check that everything in your profile seems clean.
    thank you

  • Why do I keep getting a pop up box asking me to enter my apple id and password - and the id in the box is not mine? Is it phishing for my password?  How do I get rid of it?

    I keep getting a pop up box on my iPhone asking me to enter my password - and the apple id does not match mine.  I click 'Cancel' but it keeps reappearing and interfering with other apps.  What did I do to get this and what do I do to get rid of it?  Is it someone or something phishing for my password?  The only app I recently downloaded was PF Chang's and I got that directly from the App Store.

    Try signing out and then back in again by going into Settings>Store>Apple ID:>Sign Out>

  • I constantly get the message "uninstal set javascript application since downloading new version of Firefox today - how do I get rid of this

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox today and ended up with the error box or message -javascript application - uninstall set. I cannot get rid of it and it appears with every key stroke. It's on everything I use on Firefox.

    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.

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 4 I now get the message: "There was a problem sending the command to the program." But it goes ahead and does it anyway. Is there anyway to get rid of this annoying message?

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

    Your post doesn't mention whether you are getting any errors from your iPod or that it's a case where deleting in the usual ways doesn't work so I'm unsure what your issue is. In normal use, how you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

  • AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

    Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
    How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
