When clicking on an address firefox gets redirected or "jump"ed to another.

After searching a topic, and then clicking on a selected web site my browser gets redirected or is jumped to another unrelated web site. Sometimes I am not able to use the back button and have to click on the home icon and start over. Is there a setting I need to turn off/on either in the tools toolbar or in Internet Explorer properties which is the window's browser that I don't use? Thank you!

You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.14 to Firefox/2.0.0.16.
* Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/2.0.0.16;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.<br />
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
Filter: <b>general.useragent</b><br />
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

  • When ever I click on a link I get redirected. How can I prevent this?

    When I do a search on Google, or Yahoo, a page comes up filled with all the possible links. When I click on a link I get redirected to a website that isn't the one I chose. By copying the web address under the description, and pasting it in the address bar I'm able to go to the right site. But this method is awkward, and I'd like to find a way to stop being redirected.

    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />

  • OTM launches IE when clicking "run test" not Firefox

    Hi
    How can I configure OTM so that when clicking on "run test" it runs the test in Firefox not IE?
    I've recorded the script in openscript using firefox and the openscript browser preference is set to Firefox.
    But OTM still launch IE?

    Got the answer from Oracle support
    Hi Clancy,
    If you click 'edit this test' in OTM,
    there is a field "Command line run setting :"
    Here you can specify additional settings that are described in Appendix A of the OpenScript Userguide
    from section A 2.2:
    Setting Description
    -browser.type type Specify the browser type to use for script playback
    where type is one of the following (use exact case and no spaces):
    ■ InternetExplorer
    ■ Firefox
    The default is InternetExplorer.
    I hope this answers your question.
    Regards
    Marijn

  • When clicked on an icon in the infopath form, it will open another infopath form from another file. How do?

    When clicked on an icon in the infopath 2013 form, it will open another infopath 2013 form from another
    file. How do?

    Hello Eugene Astafiev!
    I need the following scenario: 
    I have a Sharepoint library with items created by Infopath (form A). 
    I developed another form (form B) that will query items created by form A. 
    The form B will be in a static "webpart" page navigation (Sharepoint). One of these fields returned by the query library that manages the items created is the URL responsible to load the item data . I would like to parameterize the URL into form B.
    So that when the user clicks on it, the form A with their respective data in a modal is returned (which may be a native modal Sharepoint)

  • When I search via Yahoo or Google and then click on a link, I get redirected to a general website but never the one I've clicked on

    Let's say I'm searching for a specific recipe. When I find the result and attached link that I want, I click on it and get a "submit query" message on the screen and then am redirected to something completely different. This is usually not even a valid web page, but more of a "did you mean one of these" kind of things.

    Even though you create your PDFs with Acrobat 9.5 your students most likely use Reader X or Reader XI to open them. The message that they see is a security feature to prevent malicious PDFs from being downloaded and doing some harm. In Acrobat/Reader XI once you choose "Allow" by default it remembers it and does not ask the same question for all PDFs that come from the same domain. So, if you post your PDFs on the same site each student will see this message only once. There are ways to automatically deploy Reader pre-configured to trust certain sites but this is not that can be done on individual machines. This ability is used mostly by big companies that own the hardware and installed software.

  • For several weeks now, when I click on items on a mozilla page, I get redirected or jumped to some other site. Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?

    When I click on an entry it doesn't take me to that entry -- it takes me to another website. The only way I can seem to get directly to the entry is to cut and paste the URL directly. I never used to have to do this. What is happening?

    This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
    * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

  • When clicking on a link Firefox freezes, the and clock appears, but one cannot get any further or back.

    I open a page in Firefox. I click on a link. That is OK. Then I click on another link. Firefox keeps loading but nothing happens. I try to lick Back or to another link, but this does not help. The only thing I can do is close Firefox.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • When I enter "honeymark" web address, I get redirected to a search for convertglobal

    When I use IE8, I can go directly to honeymark. Firefox goes to the honeymark website, but then reconnects to an unsuccessful search for convertglobal.

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • When clicking a WEB address in an e-mail, instead of opening the address in Internet Explorer, how do I get Thunderbird to open it in Google Chrome?

    Internet Explorer does not work right in my system, so I use Google Chrome.

    Thunderbird uses the browser you have set as default. Have you set Chrome as your default browser?

  • When clicking an email address on a website FF opens 355 tabs and then freezes.

    Upgraded to 3.6.12 on Mac using OSX 10.6.5. Every page I've clicked on an email address gets me 355 tabs trying to open all blank. I even accessed those pages on Safari and it opened Firefox and 355 tabs.
    Is it a bug in the OS or FF?

    If Firefox tries to reopen all those tabs then you need to remove the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js to prevent Firefox from restoring a previous session.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs.<br />
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Change email program that opens when clicking an email address in Safari?

    Can I set Safari to open Microsoft Entourage as my default email program? Currently Safari always opens Eudora when I click on an email address. I found a place in Firefox to set it, but I can't find a place to set it in Safari. Safari Help was useless as usual.

    Thanks. It didn't occur to me to open Mail, because I don't use it for my email. How many programs let you select their competitors? Usually they ask to be selected over their competitors. And the fact that I could set my preferred mail program within Firefox suggested that I should be able to do the same in Safari...

  • I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked.  I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button.  I need the actions script code to make this happen.

    I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time.  I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen.  I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code.  It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
    Thank you in advance
    AP

    It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description.  If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work.  Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

  • When clicking links from Thunderbird, Firefox creates a new link with no data, I have to click again to create a new link with the correct url

    When I click a link in thunderbird and also on firefox it creates a new tab with nothing in it, a blank web page. If I click the link again it creates a new tab with the link. If i click it again, a blank tab, click it again,new tab with the correct info. It seems to work only on the even numbered clicks not the odd ones.

    If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.
