Search add ons popping up when opening internet explorer

had a verizon tech work on this for hours said must be in a registery file could not resolve with premiuym support

Hello again bwt80144,
Thank you for responding to my post requesting additional information. I am going to provide you with some steps to try below to see if we can get this issue of Search Add-Ons popping up on you.
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer
Step 2. Click the Tools button
Step 3. Click Internet options
Step 4. On the Advanced tab, under Security, select the Enable Enhanced Protected Mode check box
Step 5. Click OK
Step 6. Restart your computer
***NOTE: Enhanced Protected Mode helps protect your PC and personal data from malware and other attacks. When it's turned on, add-ons such as toolbars, extensions, and browser helper objects can only run if they're compatible with Enhanced Protected Mode. You'll be notified if an add-on is incompatible.
Now if you are still having issues with the pop-ups you can try the steps below to remove the Add-Ons:
Step 1. Open Internet Explorer
Step 2. Click the Tools button
Step 3. Click Manage Add-Ons
Step 4. Click All add-ons
Step 5. Select the add-on you want to delete
Step 6. If the add-on can be deleted, you'll see the Remove option. Tap or click Remove
Step 7. Click Close
If none of the above works I would check my computer to ensure that I did not have a virus. I am providing you with an HP Support document: HP and Compaq Computers - Resolving and Preventing Viruses on Your Computer, which I would recommend that you review and apply to your computer to ensure that you are not infected with a virus.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

How to make 32-bit-only add-ons work with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Enhanced Protected Mode enabled?

Hi everybody,
in IE10 I had the chance to use 32-bit-tabs even with EPM. In IE11 my 32-bit add-ons are all marked as "incompatible".
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards, Don

Hi Don,
The ”Enhanced Protected Mode ” feature of Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 has been simplified and it doesn`t provide the “Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode” feature. The Enhanced Protected Mode is based on the 64 bit process.
So that may be the reason.
Here is a link for reference of Enhanced Protected Mode :
Enhanced Protected Mode

When i run firefox setup all that shows up on my pc four shortcuts that open internet explorer

I downloaded and saved firefox set up and when i ran it a window showed the extraction but then nothing happened. i searched for mozilla and found only 4 shortcuts that open internet explorer.

If your Firefox is in FullScreen '''press F11 key''' OR move your Mouse cursor to the top of the window, right-click and Remove Checkmark from '''Hide Toolbars'''
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar'''
-> press '''CTRL + B''' for '''Bookmarks Sidebar'''
Check and tell if its working.

I cant install any search add-ons for firefox becuase I get this message "This search engine isnt supported by firefox and cant be installed".

Hi
I have downloaded the latest version of Firefox 3.6.13 from the mozilla website, (I definatly dont have firefox 4 beta). When I try to add any new search add-ons such as Bing, Youtube, IMDB I awlays get the same message "This search engine isnt supported by firefox and cant be installed".
I have uninstalled and re-installed firefox same problem persists, I even re-installed my OS as I needed to do it anyway and same problem.

I have found a fix for myself, but i still would like to know what caused the problem.
If i get the error message, all i have to do is go to the address bar and type in random letters, then when i click install, they install and no more error message.
anyone able to explain please?

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites. I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar. This problem only started
a couple of days ago. Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

Hi,
Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
doesn't shown up in IE?
I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

Trying to install search add-ons (top-rated, safe). I click install, restart and nothing happens. They do not appear in the search plugins folder.

Starting up with a new computer, I've been trying to install two search engine add-ons: easy youtube video downloader and
search IMDB. They are top rated so presumably safe and approved. I go through the whole process of installing them, and restart Firefox as instructed but nothing happens. I looked in the search plugins folder in Firefox (Program Files). I can see the search add-ons that were there when I first started on this computer, but none of the ones I'm trying to add are there. I've gone around and around on this repeatedly with no success. Please help.

Addon search engines aren't in the Firefox program files \searchplugins\ folder, they are in the \searchplugins\ folder in the user's respective '''Profile''' folder.

How to remove Open/Save prompt when using Internet Explorer

Acrobat XI Pro was deployed with custom MST that had When using Internet Explorer prompt for Open/Save. Is there a hack that will disable this prompt without having to re-install Acrobat XI Pro?

An engineer gave me a possible solution, but I don't have permission on my machine to test it. You can try the following:
-- snip --
This is because of not having necessary permissions to edit the registry. To obtain the permission, follow following steps:
Right click on “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroPDF.FDF.1” and click permissions.
On permissions dialog, click Advanced.
In the new dialog, select Owner tab and make current user as owner.
Click Apply and close the dialog.
Close the permission dialog.
Try editing the registry as suggested.

Firefox 10 Add-Ons Manager does not open in a tab

In later versions of Firefox 9 and now Firefox 10, the "Add-Ons Manager" refuses to open in a tab. Instead, it opens as a window with no border that will not move and cannot be moved or closed except by closing it from the Start Bar at the bottom of the screen.
This occurs on 2 separate PCs, one running Vista, one running XP.
I know it should open as a Tab, but I see no way to do this.
Do I need to change some setting to get it to open properly?
Thanks,
Ken West

updates 9 and 10 have caused me problems as well with add ons and the extra tab appearing welcoming me to firefox.
With update 10 all my add ons disappeared.. upon going to tools /add ons I found half my add ons were incompatable and the others were closed! I just opened them again and all was fine. Luckily the add ons I use often were still compatable.
The other option is to just add them again if they are compatible.. if not you can get around it by googling and comming up with a solution there somewhere.. One I use a lot is download helper and I had to do this about 3 versions ago to get it running.
There could be a solution in Help/trouble shooting and looking at extensions.. your add ons should be listed there and all be True..
If not you will most probably have to open Containing folder in top block and do something there.. Not sure what but will leave it up to the experts..
Seriously it would most probably be quicker to reinstal you add ons.

I just reinstalled firefox, when I open new tabs it opens internet explorer, but the firefox ICON is in the top left

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Hi konee,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

HAD MY MICROSOFT OFFICE 2011 loose a bunch of its add ons and plugins when i used a mac keeper software how do i get it back

MacKeeper, being poorly written, acts like highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off, offering nothing that is not available for free.. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.
Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.
This is also worth reading:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=245
Equally phoney is iAntivirus:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=341
* The expression ‘malware’ is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software.

Can't open internet explorer

When I updated to Firefox 3.6.3. I can't open Internet Explorer anymore. Clicking on the icon just dies, and going through the Search function also fails. If I do a system restore back to before the update, it will open, but Firefox will NOT.

how did you solve this

Adobe Flash player add-on missing from Windows 8 Internet Explorer

My Adobe Flash player add-on appears missing and I have followed all the trouble shooting but the add-on is not listed in the internet explorer add-ons list even when viewing them all. How can I fix this?

It's called Shockwave Flash Object; is that also not listed?

Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].

Hi! Elvis,
Thanks for your response , I try those settings but still not work. The current IIS setting is as below
Authentication :
(a) MDS Website : Enable Windows Authentication. Disable Anonymous Authentication.
Under Windows Authentication > Advanced Settings > set Extended Protection = Accept or Required
(b) Service Folder : Enable Windows Authentication. Enable Anonymous Authentication.
I trace by Fiddler
and Green arrows point out the bad request when I access Explorer.
Detail error is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12915406/MDS/fiddler-log.html
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized is still the same even apply the suggestions from the links you provided.
I wonder what \Service.svc\bhb is , find bhb in Web.config and set some Authentication to None to test if I can bypass it.
Now the Fiddler has different error.
a:DestinationUnreachable
The message with To 'http://mdsdev.tw.companynet.org:88/Service/Service.svc/bhb' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to an AddressFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. Check that the sender and receiver's EndpointAddresses agree.
This link has similar problem but I have no idea where I can apply his workaround in my environment.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b5ae495b-f5fb-4eed-ae21-2b2280d4fec3/address-filter-mismatch-wcf-addressing
Append my Web.confg and applicationHost.config snippet for your reference.
Thank you so much!
