Today I started getting pop ups while surfing the web. Never had this before. Also I noticed several words on craigslist ads are different colored.

When I open firefox i am getting a new small browser window opening with some kind of ad (different ad each time). McAfee blocks the ad after about 10 - 15 seconds. I also noticed that while looking at ads on craigslist, a few of the words are different colors and they take you to another website when clicked on. How do I get rid of this problem?
This just started today

Have you got Firefox set to block popups? Look in Options > Content and see if anything is whitelisted in the exceptions.
You can block most of the advertising stuff if you use Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription. There is also an auxiliary addon for Adblock Plus to block more popups.
There is a site textsrv.com that adds links to sites to redirect to other sites that you can block with Adblock Plus (if it is not already blocked) by adding that to the custom block list.

Ads Popping Up While Surfing The Web

Hi,
I Have a MBP Retina. It runs OSX 10.9.2. About a week ago I transferred some videos from my friends hard drive and ever since then I been having ads pop up all over my window. The ads even open in diffrent windows and diffrent tabs. It does this to all webpages. It also changes the text to a green color and provides a link to a diffrent ad. It gets out of control. I installed ClamXAv and it doesnt find anything wrong. I dont know if its some kind of virus or malware but I think it is. What should I do? Im to afraid to check my bank statements and make purchases online because I feel its unsafe. Any help would be useful. Thank you.
Here are sample of the pop ups:

If you do a search on iTunes, you will discover a bunch of them.

They are known as pop-ups. To stop them download and install GlimmerBlocker.

TS3274 I have iPad 1 and while surfing the web, checking facebook the scene blacks out then goes to the home screen. Why?

While surfing the web, checking Facebook my screen goes black and the home screen comes up. What is the problem?

The apps are crashing for some reason - maybe an app conflict, a corrupt setting, low memory ....
try a few basic things and see if they help.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Keep swiping in the task bar to get to all of the apps. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This may help as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Try again.

i boght an iphone 4s and it gets hot easily, is it normal? does iphone 4s get hot just for surfing the web?

It all depends on the reception. If you cell reception is bad, iPhone will try harder and it will get warmer and uses more battery.
For your info, iPhone 4S is a dual core A5 chip.

How can I watch a movie while surfing the web?

I've been trying to figure out if there is any way to anchor the iTunes player so I can watch a movie while surfing the web. I've had no luck, Please tell me there is a way! =)

There are two ways I do this.
1. I set the playback in preferences to play the video in a seperate wind. Then I size the browser window so I can see both at the same time.
2. My prefered method is to play the movie on my extra monitor I use. That way I can run it full screen while working with a full screen browser.

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone, but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching contact and name info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones. Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue? Anyone with this problem? Help!

NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
     1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
     2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How long should the battery last while surfing the web?

I'm curious to know how long the battery on my Macbook should last when just surfing the web and downloading music and videos. I'm getting about 3 hours, I have a feeling it should be a lot longer. I don't have the brightness all the way up and I dim the illuminated keys.

It really depends on your configuration and what you are doing on the web.
If you have minimum RAM, the HDD will be accessed more often, causing heat which causes the fan to come on more often, which uses up power.
While I watch youtube and other forms of streaming video, my fans are usually on, so my battery life is less.
While cruising these boards and such, my battery lasts twice as long as streaming.
3 hrs while downloading music and videos is not a bad figure.
What you might want to do is watch a 2 hour movie and document the amount of time you get from the battery.
Do the same while streaming a movie.
Do some typing and or general surfing sans streaming type stuff.
The above spans a different range of CPU and graphics usage.
Then post back your times here. You will get a better indication of battery condition.
Also, post back with how much RAM you have.

Firefox goes offline while surfing the web

While i am surfing the web with firefox after a few minutes firefox goes offline.
why this happens i do not know, but until this is fixed i am going to use an other webbrowser and uninstalled firefox after many years of using firefox.
To bad.

It is possible that your security software (firewall) is blocking the connection for some reason.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I am getting a error while executing the Web Dynpro Application Page.

Hi All,
I am getting a Error while executing a web dynpro application :::
: Navigation in Phase WDDOMODIFYVIEW Cannot Be Triggered. Component: Z_WEP_PERSONAL_DATA, View: OVERVIEW, Window: Z_XXP_PERSONAL_DATA
I have checked this error description in ST22 :
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_WDR_RT_EXCEPTION' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
     along
    the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
     'CL_WDR_CLIENT_APPLICATION=====CP' has to be
    terminated.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_WDR_RT_EXCEPTION', was not caught
     and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Navigation in Phase WDDOMODIFYVIEW Cannot Be Triggered. Component:
    Z_XXP_PERSONAL_DATA, View: OVERVIEW, Window: Z_XXP_PERSONAL_DATA
Can u plz help me regarding this error.
Thanks,

>Navigation in Phase WDDOMODIFYVIEW Cannot Be Triggered
Looks to me like you are trying to fire a navigation plug within WDDOMODIFYVIEW. According to the rules of the WD Phase Model this is not allowed.

My Macbook Pro 15 inch gets super hot when surfing the web... What is wrong?

My Macbook Pro that I got in April this year gets superhot when I'm surfing the web, especially when I'm using Safari. Also when I'm using photoshop, which I can partly understand since it's a heavy program, but it gets so hot that it burns my hand if I touch the underneath, and that can't be right, can it? This is despite having it on a flat surface.
Also, I do not know much about RAM and stuff, but when I'm just surfing the web on Safari it uses 1 GB of the RAM memory, and I've tried with Firefox and it uses 500 mb. I don't even think photoshop uses that much when I'm editing big files. What is normal, and can that have something with my computer getting as hot as it gets? It also gets really, really loud.

Install istat menus:

Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.
When the MBP gets hot, post images of both istat pro temperature display and Activity Monitor for evaluation:
Ciao.

Flash player--culprit for desktop crash while surfing the web?

I can confirm what someone else posted on this forum.Flash player causes random crashes on osx.Upgrading to 9.0.20 fixes that problem.

I am having the same problem. I get the same message whenever I try to download something from certain game websites . I've never had this problem before Flash 10 was installed.
My harddrive got a virus , I wrote zeros to the harddrive and reloaded my Windows Vista (Home Prem) and reloaded all my software. Many of my software stated I needed a Flash Player and my mistake was when I came on Adobe's website and downloaded the Flash 10. I wish I could remember which Adobe Flash player allowed me to enjoy the game websites I enjoyed. Flash 10 have the Global Security Setting Panel which I wish Adobe would allow me to disable because it is my belief that this is what's stopping me from being able to use the websites I once visited.

Can't get personal email set up...never had this problem on BB before.

Hi, I have a new personal email address @zenbe.com that I desperately want to add to the email accounts on my bb. For some reason, though, this one is proving especially difficult. Each time I try the setup and it fails, I get an email to the account (accessed from my laptop) with the subject 'blackberry internet services instructions for configuring an email account', and I'm doing everything it says to do! I've never had this problem before--have been a bb user for years. I also tried to log on and do it manually from my laptop but either the server is down or it isn't accepting my information. When I enter my email address & password (or not, tried both ways) and press enter/next, it does nothing. Tried from mozilla, explorer, and google chrome. I'm not sure what the problem is but I'm super frustrated.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

looks like its supposed to be either imap.zenbe.com or pop.zenbe.com
have you gone the manual way and enter those servers in?
do you get an error?
have called tmobile to get access through my.t-mobile.com and tried from there?

I am constantly getting pop ups saying that The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded even though I am on the web page.

I have version 3.6.13 Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but still keep getting an error message saying that The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. This happens even when I am on the web page, but the message continues to keep popping up.

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 > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Today I started getting pop ups while surfing the web. Never had this before. Also I noticed several words on craigslist ads are different colored.
