Popups blocked on Yahoo. When I close Firefox there is a background advertisement on screen that has been hiding. How do I eliminate this without having to click again to remove?

Annoying advertisement/request is hiding behind my Yahoo home page. I have popup block on Firefox options for Yahoo
Perhaps this is a Yahoo issue? But resides in FF browser.

File > exit is the right answer, instead of exiting from the top corner X.
Thank you

  • My popup blocker exceptions disappear when I close Firefox.

    I just ran into this the other day, but it's become a major issue. The exceptions I enter into the popup blocker don't persist from session to session; as long as at least one instance of Firefox remains open the exception list is there, but after I close Firefox and reopen it I have no exceptions left. I only need a handful of exceptions, but I don't want to have to type them in every time I access those web sites!

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    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.

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

  • When I close firefox, there are two annoying window underneath that I always have to close and they are always there again next time; how do I get rid of them for good?

    When I close Firefox, there are two underlying windows that I have to close every time. How do I get rid of them for good and prevent this from continuing to happen. Both windows were opened by me during viewing at some point, so they did originate from me.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • TS1424 Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Why does my exclusion of a web site in pop-up blocker settings disappear when I close Firefox?

    Every time I go to my online bank site I have to reenter the site address of the bill paying portion of the site, which is a pop-up window, in Tools/Options/Content/Block Pop-up Windows/Exceptions, because my previous entry has disappeared from the list of exceptions.
    Is there any way to save it when I close Firefox?

    What are you clearing when Firefox closes?
    Tools > Options -> Privacy --> History = Clear history when Firefox closes - hit the Exceptions button = what do you have set there?
    '''Site preferences''' - is what you shouldn't be be clearing

  • When I close Firefox why do I get an "Application Error" that states: The instruction at "0x0523f7fc" referenced memory at "0x0000002c". The memory could not be "read"?

    It's a box that asks me to click "OK." I do and it closes. This just started, but it happens each time I close Firefox.

  • Suddenly every time I close a browser window it brings up another window that I have minimized, how do I STOP THIS?

    I often have several browser windows minimized, and suddenly when I close one, one of my other minimized windows pops up rather than just staying minimized. It's driving me crazy, I don't know how it happened and cannot find an option for that behavior.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).

  • Two of our computers using the same emails won't communicate when an email has been answered, how do we fix this?

    My coworker and I answer emails in 2 shared work emails and I have access to my personal email and her's to answer work questions. Lately when she answers an email in our orders inbox, and marks it off as answered with our assigned highlight, it won't transfer the info to my computer's inbox. I'm left thinking they're still unanswered. We've been double-answering many customers which seems strange and shouldn't happen. How can we get them to communicate more efficiently again. This has only been happening the past couple of months.

    Have you followed the rest of the instructions on the TS2446 page that you posted from e.g. you've logged out of your account on your phone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in ?
    If that hasn't fixed it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • When I click the icon to open Firefox it opens the program 2x. When I close it there is another one open behind it that I have to close. How do I fix this?

    see question...

    This thread has some solutions:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/762043
    The most straightforward seems to be: hold Ctrl and Left-Click on the Reload button. You could also Middle-click on the Reload button (e.g. "click" with the mouse wheel, if you have a wheel-mouse.) The thread above also has some other options.
    Edit: you could also hold Ctrl and drag a tab next to itself to clone it, another suggestion from the above thread.

  • Firefox crashed, can't open it at all, having to go thru internet explorer to use computer. Crashed when two firefox updates were done. Refreshing and rebooting didn't work. How do I fix this so my computer runs again with firefox?

    We heard firefox had crashed, friend 4 hours away has same problem. She got hers fixed but even tho I can get a message that firefox is running , its not functioning so I can use it. Had two updates to do, one automatically, one I started at firefox request. Since then, we can't get on the internet or any programs. Unless you can tell me what's wrong, I'll have to have a computer company come in to fix problem.

    It is always a good idea to back up your bookmarks, if you are able to do that now it may help, and if you are considering using them in an alternative browser it may be a good idea to back them up as HTML as well as the default .json files.
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    Have you read the articles shown in my first message above with the blue clickable links. One of the first things to try is using Firefox in firefox [[safe mode]] which should be available from your program list, BUT when trying that on the first dialogue do not make changes just click on continue.
    *Does that work ?
    * did you see the list of options and click on the continue button ?
    * are you seeing any error messages ?
