Using Firefox, how do I block side pop out ads/links?

When using Firefox I continue to get these left hand pop-out strips for links to Facebook, Email, Twitter, Reddit, Stumblupon and more. This strip of links covers the text on the page making it impossible to read any article.
How do I get rid of it? I've installed AdBlock, AdPlus, NoScript and still can't get rid of the thing. Here's a picture:

<blockquote>
I only get the overlap if I zoom the page using full page zoom.
I some cases "Zoom Text Only" causes issues and full page zoom causes issues, but in this case the opposite happens.
You can hide that bar with this code in userContent.css or Stylish
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document domain(www.towleroad.com){
#at4-share { display: none !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>
Yes but I would have to do that with each page I view. I want a resolution to remove that option permanently.
Please understand, my browser(s) appear on a five-foot display (two-30" Cinema displays) and because of poor eyesight (which can't be corrected with glasses or surgery) I must Zoom the page to a readable size. But that is hampered now by this ridiculous left side link pop-out. A pop-out that is there for the convenience of the website to help promote their business through social media.
I DO HAVE the option to ban this side pop-out using Safari - so why can't the Firefox people offer the same option? I dropped Firefox years ago and returned just a few months back hoping the problems with Firefox had been corrected. They haven't yet day after day we keep getting new upgrades disabling our addons until those developers can catch up.
I like Firefox but I now like Safari much better. I can search for anything directly in the url bar and not in a separate search box. I am removing Firefox from my systems.

  • When using firefox, how do i zoom in and out on a page?

    example: when i use internet explorer i just click on the tool tab if i need to zoom in or out. however, with firefox, i cannot figure how do zoom in and out on a page?
    thank you,
    kim

    I don't think Firefox has a slider to do that but it uses shortcuts.
    '''CTRL + + (plus sign)''' is to zoom in<br>
    '''CTRL + - (minus sign/dash)''' is to zoom out<br>
    '''CTRL + 0 (zero)''' resets the percentage to default (100%)

  • Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary systaem for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

    Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary system for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

    iCal is designed for personal use, and isn't really meant to handle this sort of situation.
    The best suggestion I can offer, though it's a trifle untidy, is: create a calendar for each therapist, giving each a different colour. Enter the availability for each therapist - if it's on a weekly basis you can make them repeating events. Then add the individual appointments, which will show alongside in the daily view. In this example, the 'purple' therapist is available from 1030 to 1700 and has appointments at 1200 and 1500.
    If you have more than a few therapists available at any one time it's liable to look a bit messy, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.

  • Internet provider wants to provision my modem when using FireFox, how can I do this.

    I bought a Surfboard modem (SB6121) so I would not have to lease a modem from Time Warner Cable any longer. When I use FIrefox to navigate the web, TWC asks me to provision my equipment. I talked with their customer service rep, who was able to see/ping my equipment with no issues. I can use IE8 to surf with no issues.

  • Firefox has taken over as the default browser ... I dont want to use firefox, how do I switch back?? Thank you

    I downloaded Firefox to try it recently. Today I noticed that every time I tried to open Facebook it was acting as the "default" browser. I'm having trouble using Firefox and would like to switch back to my original browser.

    Firebug has development versions that should work in Firefox 4 beta builds. Try the latest version (1.6X.ob1) available from http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X/
    This is a beta version of Firebug.
    For other add-ons marked as incompatible, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 Add-on Compatibility Reporter], this will enable all of your add-ons and you can test to see if they work. If the add-ons do not work you can disable them. Note that the current release version of Firebug will not work, you will need to use the beta version.

  • I cannot open PDF files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

    I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

    I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
    Go to Tools/Add-ons
    You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
    On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
    If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
    There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
    If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

  • How to create an Interactive pop out window in inDesign CS 5?

    Happy New Year everyone.
    How do I create an interactive pop-out window in inDesign CS5? I want to have a filled content frame which has image, text and a border. when the user clicks on that frame, a pop-out window frame appears slightly over the previous frame in with a drop shadow fx. Then when the user clicks the pop-out window, it closes and the original content frame appears. Attached is a screenshot for reference.

    For what end product? HTML? SWF? PDF? Offset print? (I don't think so, but I might as well ask.)

  • How to disable Web Camera pop out menu on my Satellite?

    I have a Satellite laptop which has an annoying pop out menu on the left side of the screen. The one with four icons marked, Photo/Video, Settings, Effect, and Face Recognition.
    Is there any way to disable it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    In most cases the camera software starts automatically while booting up the windows OS. To prevent this you can disable the webcam software in Startup of msconfig.
    Type msconfig in search and choose Startup tab.
    Here you have to remove the check from webcam software entry.
    Save this, reboot and now webcam software should not start automatically.
    But xavers advice should work too.

  • Upon updage, I cannot use back button on new windows that pop-up on link clink but back button is available on the browser window and google toolbar stopped working.

    I just updated my firefox and would really like to uninstall the update. My google toolbar is no longer compatible and I am having other issues. When I visit a site that links me to other parts of their site via new windows, the new window i get to has back and foward buttons, but I am unable to use them. Even though I have changed pages, the back button does not go bold and I am unable to get back to any previous pages. I dont have this problem with IE using the same site. I really want to keep using firefox but the new update is making it really hard!

  • How can I prevent CD popping out when installing Leopard?

    I'm trying to install Leopard on my G3 iBook, which has been in the closet since March 2007. It starts up OK and desktop aps work. When I try to install the CD for Leopard it pops out. Before I put it away I wiped the hard drive clean and reinstalled system software plus extra aps like Photoshop. I can't get the CD to stay in the slot.
    What can I do to keep the CD in so I can install Leopard?
