When I type www etc firefox suggets websites-how do I turn this off?

When I am choosing a website and begin by typing www etc, firefox suggest various websites-how do i turn off this feature?

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.

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

i need to stop this asap its driving me crazy!

None of the above.
I have no hub (not even a USB one), or any other Firewire Video devices. I have the iSight connect into the only port that is available on my iBook G4.
I have noticed that it stops working when my iBook goes to sleep. I am going to turn it of next time I take the laptop home and see if a cold reboot helps. If so it could be that the Firewire buss is disconnecting during sleep mode and not coming back on once the system is woken up. The only caveat to this salutation is that I never had that problem when I used my Canon Video Camera as a Web Cam.
It’s just annoying to have to fiddle with the thing every time I want it to work.

Since loading firefox 4 2 stage verification is required each time I open gmail. How do I turn this off?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, each time I try to open my gmail account, the sign-in page presents me with an encrypted word (usually which I cannot read) to fill in in addition to my password.
This is infuriating and is slowing down my email access, also the letter string is sometimes illegible. How do I turn this off?

This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
*Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

@apup80
It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

My iMac plays background music when I am using Safari. Right now, as I am typing this message, it is playing background music. When I am watching a movie on Netflix, it plays background music which interferes with the movie. How do I turn this off?

So pause iTunes or whatever application you are using for background music, before starting the movie.

When trying to send a comment to a web site I get a message, Firefox has blocked this site, how can I turn this off?

when trying to send a comment to discussion sites I get an error message that says "Firefox has blocked this site" actions offered "allow"
or "X". When I enter "allow" it ignores the command and the message disappears. A lot of wasted thought and typing. How do I turn this feature off.

Is there a need to turn off my Apple TV when I'm using it? If so, how do I turn it off?

Is there a need to turn off my Apple TV when I'm not using it? If so, how do I turn it off?

Kappy,
I know you said that my Apple TV shuts itself off after about an hours idle time but mine only shuts itself off radomly maybe one every two days even when the TV has been off and the iMack has been off over night. My wife and I both have iPhones and she has an iPad which may be causing the Apple to stay on. Don't know. Incidentally, my Apple TV shows my iMack iPhoto pictures and albums great. Still a little concerned that it doesn't shut off after some idle time.
