Something called "Fast Browser Search" by Infospace comes up when I type a URL. How do I get rid of this annoyance?

If I type an incomplete URL into Firefox, instead of anticipating what the URL is and going to the site I get this annoying search result page called "Fast Browser Search" by Infospace. I hate this detour! How do I get rid of it?

  • Yesterday, a search tab comes on when I start firefox. How can I get rid of it?

    I seldom use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. starting yesterday, when I opened firefox A search tab is present. A single tab is also present. The search tab is very similar to the search button on the right of the navigation bar. So it is redundant.
    How can I get rid of this search tab?

    Can you uninstall the "Default Tab" extension as that is considered malware and is causing this search bar?<br />
    Otherwise just disable this extension.

    Good morning Ipster33.
    I am having the same problem and was wondering if you resolved your issue.  I noticed no one replied.
    I spend yesterday working on a project and today it is all gone.  I have the same "1" instead of the year.
    I tried to start a new movie but when I chose the theme and added a title I got this message...
    "No other information is available about the problem.
    The operation could not be completed."
    It would be nice to know what is happening.

  • To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How do i get rid of this message? or do i need to just drop firefox all together?

    To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How do i get rid of this? it keeps pop n up and screw n up my stuff... if there is not a fix I will be dropping fox and going back to internet explorer.. this is not worth the headache!

    Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
    This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
    If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
    This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
    However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

  • How can I get rid of this totaly useless gbp search window?

    How do I get rid of the gbp toolbar home and gbp search box

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
