When I downloaded Firefox somehow Ask took over, its not not listed in programs, How can you remove it if you can't find it?

Ask.com took over as my browser, I don't want it, it inter fears width my email. & I got Firefox download for my browser, It makes everything slower also. I tried several different things recommended on web sights, nothing works.

Some of these toolbars and helpers are simpler to remove than others. Often they install global software that needs to be removed from the Windows control panel, rather than just from Firefox. (Sometimes the names are not obvious).
* see [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
** the firefox reset feature mentioned in the above article may help,but it removes all your extensions, and personally I try to avoid using that.
Once any rogue software is uninstalled the Firefox settings are likely to need sorting out. Luckily there is a restartless add-on available that is often able to handle that part of the problem.

Post back with how you get on. Please give as much information as possible about what it is you installed, and what if anything you have found and removed.

Are you asked for the password, when you run the installer for iPhoto Library upgrader?
Then the installer is asking you for the password of your administrator account. You need to authorize the installation.

404 is a http status code meaning it could not find the link, presumably the subscription link is down or has moved.

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton Safe Search Tool Bar. How do I get it back?

When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton safe search toolbar which not only told me what sites were okay to look at, it also contained all of my logon information for various sites and now, all of that is gone.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

When I close Firefox it asks me if I want to clear history. How do I stop this from happening?

Whenever I close Firefox it asks if I want to clear the history and gives me a list of options. How do I stop this from happening?

Firefox doesn't show such a dialog by default, so it might have been added by an installed extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

HT1923 I had to restore my computer to factory restore. When I downloaded and installed my itune, none of my music is there. How can I get it back?

Hi,
I had to restore my computer to factory setting. When I was finished and reinstalled itunes. None of my music showed up. Where is it and why didn't it show up when I reinstalled itunes? I even plugged in my apple shuffle and it didn't appear.

This user tip should be helpful. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

I am getting an error message when I open Firefox 5 (Win.Vista) "TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined." How can I get rid of this? Thank you.

Only started since the upgrade. Windows Vista Home 32 bit.
The error message reads:
"TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined."

Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

I get a message bar saying "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." How can I find out what page it was trying to redirect to so I know whether I want to "allow" it or not?

I've used Firefox for a long time, but recently this message started appearing every time I open Firefox.

See:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
