Since I downloaded Firefox I am swamped with ads and sites I want don't load properly. Help!

All kinds of "redirect" tabs show up and seem to slow up acces to and the operation of the sites that I want to get to. A lot of ads warning that my system need a product that the advertisers want to sell me.

Go to the

(There’s a lot of good stuff here)<BR>
and get a good add / pop-up blocker.<BR><BR>

Ever since I downloaded Firefox my Norton Identity Safe Logins and Cards disappeared from the toolbar and the logins don't autopopulate anymore. How do I get Identity Safe passwords to work again and appear in toolbar?

I have a lot of logon user id's and passwords created in Norton Identity Safe product. They are still there and I can view them in Norton, but they are no longer on my toolbar and no longer work automatically to fill in the website logons they were created for.

In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do. When a request is posted on my FB page and I click on it to send or receive a gift it just shows that its "connecting" and sits there for several minutes then only sometimes actually goes to the gift. How can I fix it. My other computer that is still on firefox 4 does not have this problem.

Hello AKBOB, if exist a problem with update or permissions then the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

Grzegorz,
I have had WLS6.1 & ADS working ok using LDAP V2. Mind you it did take
a
fair bit of messing around to get it going. MS does have a few oddities,
for example the Administrators DN might look something like this:
cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=eglobal,dc=net
One tool that I found invaluable came with the additional support tools
for Windows 2000. The 'Active Directory Administration Tool' made it
easy to list the directory contents and examine the DNs.

There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones. We all have separate iTunes accounts. How do we do this?

I have 3 iPhones in my house and 1 apple tv.
I do NOT set a password on my apple tv, so any iPhone can send video to the tv.
Any iPhone can use the apple remote option also.
Just play a video and click that square with an arrow and play on apple tv. The video comes up from any iPhone in my house.
Same goes for pics, etc

Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Acrobat family
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
Recommendation to Customers/Users:
For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I've been having trouble with AIM mail. Can I go back to previous version of Firefox?

My AIM mail won't open much of the time since downloading Firefox 4. Can I go back to older version?

I think youre taling about Firefox, not Firefox OS. To remove ask follow the steps below.
# Look and delete a user.js file in your profile folder https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save#w_user-js-file-overriding-preferences
# use the search reset tool => [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool].
# Then uninstall Ask Toolbar from the control panel.
# And run a good scan with Adwcleaner http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner

Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

Cannot update because firefox never gets beyond the "Downloading Firefox" box, the one with "Hide" button in the lower left corner.

the "Software Update" box shows "Downloading Firefox" the blue strip runs across the box in the area that is immediately above, "Connecting to the update server..." I have let it run for over an hour a couple of times - it never gets beyond this step.

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Firefox:

Choose the Mac version in your language.
I have read that Google Chrome is only available for Macs with Intel processors. I haven't been able to find a version for Macs with PowerPC processors.
