When I scroll over content there seems to be "pop-ups" that come about. Why is this happening with FireFox and not I. E. ? How do I fix the problem?

I'm using Firefox as my browser, the web content has content that is double underlined and when I scroll over it it pops an image up or some other sign up stuff. How do I prevent this from happening?

Most likely caused by one of your extensions. If the above doesn't get rid of it, check here next:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Bear in mind that's it's probably not clearly labeled "annoying advertising" but may have an unrelated or innocent-sounding name. Disable everything that you do not use daily; if in doubt disable. Then use one of the links that appears above a disabled extension to restart Firefox and see whether that helps.

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

Facebook freezes when trying to open with firefox but not other browsers, how do I fix this?

I have two users on my pc. The main user has no problem accessing facebook using his windows account and firefox browser. The second user, however all of a sudden, cannot access facebook with his windows account and firefox browser. Firefox freezes and says not responding. Other browsers, however work. I have loaded and run a windows registry repair which did not fix the problem. I have also run my virus scanning software. I cannot find an answer to this issue. Can someone please help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

You haven't a problem. You simply did not read the iWeb Help :

I have iphone 5c. Having email problem. Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23. When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox. What is going wrong? How do I fix the problem?

Ihave iphone5c. Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox. When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty. However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox. I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return. What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
Deleting the index
I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

I have error code 2330 when i tried to download itunes 10.5, how do I fix the problem?

I have error code 2330 when I tried to download itunes 10.5. Different sites I have visited give different solutions and most seem to indicate removing the current itunes program then reinstalling the new 10.5. I did try to remove the program but it took a long time and I had to reboot the computer. Has anyone had the same issue and how did they fix the problem?

I was having this problem with my wife's computer today so I did a Check Disk from the command prompt. (start/run then type chkdsk) let it do its thing then restart windows and it does some other BS on the start up. Relaunch itunes and then retry to download. I went to the apple website and click on the download and saved the file to my desk top then ran it from there. Let me know if you have the same luck. -Mike

I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one

I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

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.

The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
