When I do a Google Search a very irritating Ebay banner asking me to Compare on Ebay, in multiple, pops up before my search results. The banners interferes with me accessing my google information. How do I get rid of this Ebay intrusion?

The rows of repeat banners take up the whole screen and force me to scroll down to read the info I really want - my Google search results.

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver and any other ones off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

    When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
    I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

    Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
    That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
    i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

  • New download of version 4 has colored snow in the background and it is worse than distracting. How do I get rid of this?

    I downloaded V.4 of Firefox, and it has colored snow all over it. I cannot find the way to get rid of it. It is distracting to the point that V.4 is entirely unusable. What happened. I never downloaded anything from you guys that was this broken.

    The cross indicates an overflow of text. Increase the size of the box as needed. Since you didn't indicate that some of the text is missing it may just be an invisible character or that a little more space is needed below the text.

    I need help my Ipod is stuck and I cant do anything at all. my screen shows the I tunes symbol with an arrow under it then under that is the chanrger. I have tried everything and it does notthing. Can someone please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Next to the mozilla icon in the startmeny is an arrow for a sub menu how do I get rid of this annoying submenu with irrelevant things?

    It is so freakin annoying. I will never want this shortcut to do anything but start a new browser.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • 11.25 gb of "Other"...how can I get rid of this??

    I have an 32GB iPhone 4s with 11.25GB of "Other." How can I get rid of this or at least decrease it. It seems a little ridiculous for that much space to be used. I downloaded PhoneClean which freed around 1GB but didn't touch the "other" folder. I've seen several places on various sites to restore my iPhone.  My question to that would be, if I restore it, will I lose all of my texts? My contacts, calendar, etc are on the iCloud, so I'm not worried about those but I don't want to lose my texts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks so much!!
    K

    First of all, thank you for the information. I'm glad to know my texts will remain. I wasn't sure if a backup only included photos, videos, etc. Sometimes "backups" don't include everything, so I wasn't sure if everything was included with an iphone backup.
    Second, when I received your first response I thought you sounded rude but gave you the benefit of the doubt.  It's hard to hear one's tone when reading. However, upon reading your second response, I confirmed that you are in fact a jerk. It always amazes me that it makes some people feel good to make others feel bad.  Thanks for the warm welcome to the Apple forum by the way. I see you're from Atlanta...glad that southern charm is just shining through!
    Third, I didn't ask your opinion on how to run my business but since you commented on it I'd like to reiterate that my comment said "inconvenient." I certainly don't conduct business via SMS. In my business there are just certain tidbits of conversations that are nice to have on hand when I'm out and about.
    Again, thanks for the information. I hope this will solve my problem. Sorry to trouble you.

  • When I click on my magazines, I keep getting a message "connect to ITunes to use push notifications", how do I get rid of this?

    When I click on my magazines, I keep getting a message "connect to ITunes to use push notifications", how do I get rid of this?

    I spent at least half an hour googling the error message today, perhaps more.
    Thanks for the link. I hadn't found that one.
    I followed the instructions and connected my iphone to iTunes for a sync. I even turned off my phone completely and started again.
    But I get the same error messages.
    What's your next suggestion? You seem a very helpful fellow.

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.
