When I upgraded to Mozilla 8, an add appeared on my browser page and the mozilla search bar is gone

I upgraded to firefox 8, then an add from mozilla popped up on my browser page and won't go away. I can no longer see my mozilla search bar due to the add being there.

I solved the problem by restarting Firefox in safe mode and choosing "restore default search engines" on the restart menu. You can restart in safe mode by choosing "restart with add-ons disabled" in the Help menu. Firefox will close, then a window opens with several options. The one on the bottom is "restore default search engines". Click it, then click OK.

    when I sign in to hotmail, my emails appear then I have errors and the page goes blank. Any help ? I'm on OS X 10.5.8
    Sorry should have said, when I log in my emails pop up momentarily. Then, it seems as if the pages aren't loading. A message comes up on the bottom left that the pages are loading, then errors occur and nothing happens.
    Thanks

  • When i select and try to load a page from the google search bar firefox freezes - firefox 4 win 7 bullguard antivirus.

    When I search for something in the google search bar, the search completes but if I select a result firefox freezes and will not load the page. Pages load ok from bookmarks.

    Were you typing in the search box on the Navigation Toolbar, or in the search box on a Google page?
    Did the entire browser turn upside down, or just the page content?
    Because you posted from IE10, the forum didn't capture any information about your plugins or extensions. Rather than compile a list, you might just try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Can you replicate the problem?
    Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule those out as well, you can disable them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any difference?

  • I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

    Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
    update as described here:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

    This is usually a problem with hardware acceleration.
    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    When I open Firefox 2 tabs always open. One is my homepage and the other is another page that I have bookmarked. I do not know why this happens or how to fix it.
    == This happened ==

    Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

  • TS2565 when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

  • Somehow my firefox icon at the google search bar is missing. it happened once before. don't remember how I fixed it. had to do with add-ons or plug-ins. it was a real easy fix to restore but don't remember

    Somehow my firefox logo is missing at the google search bar. I used to see the firefox logo when I opened firefox. Now all I see is the box to put the search terms in, nothing else. This happened once before and there was a real simple fix - but don't remember. it had to do with plug-ins or add-ons. I'm using xp

    same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
    Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
    Create a new profile and check it out.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Also '''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.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''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.

    When I try to open Adobe Reader, it just opens a gray page and then closes by itself. This also applies to any pdf files I try to access; they'd all follow the same pattern: Gray page-->automatically closes after 2 to 3 seconds time. I have tried accessing the Eula.exe via C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, however, the only available button for me to click is the "Decline" button and not the "Accept" license agreement.
