Ver16.0.2..How can I get rid of an annoying pop up in the lower left of the screen that is difficult to remove. I t began with an update last week.

The pop up appears with every new tab. It has an extremely small delete "X" icon if you can find it...The pop up interferes visually with every tab and must be carefully manually deleted each time. It is always located in the lower left bottom of the screen. It is a window about 3 inches square. It began last week with an automatic download. I want it removed or I will be swiftly returning to Explorer or perhaps Google Chrome...Thanking you in advance

Can you attach a screenshot?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How can I get rid of this irritating pop-up?

Hello to all!
I am facing this vexed problem for the past two days: whenever I quit Safari, this pop-up is turning up:
I am aware of the malicious effects of this application which, far from cleaning and protecting our precious Macs does the opposite!
Can I be informed of how I can close Safari smoothly without having to see this malware?
Dr. Somanna

You can force quit an application using the task manager. Press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC keys together to open it. Select the Safari application then click on the Force Quit button. Relaunch Safari while holding down the SHIFT key.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

hello rscherr, you have a LOT of malicious extensions present in your profile and using an outdated and vulnerable version of firefox.
* first i'd recommend to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]
* then [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/update/ update firefox to the latest version] (that's firefox 23 at the moment) as soon as possible
* run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
* finally after you've completed the steps above please report back in the forum and include the then current troubleshooting information again, so that we can have a final check that everything in your profile seems clean.
thank you

How can I get rid of this constant popup "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier"? Thanks

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/810630]</blockquote> 
I'm an avid eBay seller and shopper. Every time I move from one of my items back to my eBay main page I get this pop up "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier." How do I disable the message? Running current version of Firefox for windows and Vista.

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.

I am getting spam to call someone for a virus alert and to purchase MacKeeper. How can I get rid of these annoying popups?

Hi All:
Which virus control software or malware product(s) or other strategies are suggested to install on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks OSX 10.9) to eliminate annoying popups and spam?

That is spam. Ignore it.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How can I get rid of unwanted persona? I choosed a new one but the old one apears everytime I open firefox and I can't remove it because it isn't in my adds on anymore.

I tryed to choose the unwanted persona again, so I can remove it properly but it doesn't work. When I choose a new persona, it works until I close firefox and when I open it again I wear the old one again.

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

How can I get rid of those annoying icons on the side of each Safari page for 'sharing' to Facebook, etc?

When I open a page in Safari, there is a bar to the left side that obscures some of the text on the page. It contains icons for different ways of sharing a page, such as Facebook, tweet etc. I would like to make them go away. But they seem stuck there.

I couldn't agree with you more! I just reposted the question, hoping someone will know how to say "adios" to them!

I have purchased an app and then I decided to delete it...but still apple is charging monthly...how can I get rid of this...

It sounds as if you purchased the app, but you also purchased some subscription within the app. You say "Apple is charging monthly", but it's probably the app writer that is charging you monthly for some subscription you purchased within the app. Contact the app vendor and tell them you want to stop the subscription.

How can I get rid of Euro symbol in text?

Euro symbol show up in front of Copyright symbol when I test it in Internet Explorer but doesn't when I check it in another browser.
How can I get rid of it?
Thank you.

Does it show up in the code?
If not it's probably a charset in the page encoding that's being misinterpreted by the browser, or a "web-unfriendly" font...
I try to stick to UTF-8 and avoid any font that isn't in the default list in DW.
If you have a link to the page online it would help a lot more though. Without that everything I just posted is a guess.

how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless. Feel like I have been robbed

There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.

How can I get rid of "locked items" in Trash?

I am deleting old Time Machine files from my external drive, using my MacBook Pro (2007) to do it. I've been doing this for several weeks, but now when I'm in Trash and click "Empty Securely" I get this message: "There are some locked items in Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?" Regardless of whether I click on "Remove unlocked items" or "Remove all items", the process stops almost immediately and the Trash remains full. What might be the "locked items" and how can I get rid of them?

You might try restarting and then try to empty the Trash.
If that doesn't work, see -> Solving Trash Problems.
