When I use Firefox I get several low key tracker infections. How do I stop these?

Everytime I use Firefox I end up with 37 or more infections. Some are low risk other medium. They vary from tracker to adware.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I started using Firefox as a preferred browser having had trouble with MSN

Tracking cookies (cookies are just text files with some data in it) are not worth the trouble of having to deal with corrupted files caused by cleanup software that is working properly.
See e.g. AVG: http://www.avg.com/us-en/faq.tpl-empty?num=2353#num-2334 (What are tracking cookie files?)

Ever since my wife and I upgraded to iOS 8 all of our devices now ring on incoming calls. She also gets all of me texts. How do I stop these actions?

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 all of my apple phones and IPad now ring when there's an incoming call. My wiife now gets all my texts on her phone. How do we fix these issues?

The phone ringing issue has to do with all of the devices being logged into iCloud with the same Apple ID and being on the same Wi-Fi network. While in proximity like that, go into Settings>FaceTime and turn off iPhone cellular calls. It is part of the continuity feature.
The fact that you are receiving messages is some of the same doing. You need to go into Settings>Messages on both devices, go to Send & Receive and make sure that just your phone number is selected on each of the devices. The phone number for that particular device. Do the same for Start conversation from, and make sure that it is the phone number only.

When I use firefox and have several tabs open, I can only navigate between them by minimazing and maximazing FF in the taskbar and then clicking on the other tab. When I want to click on content on the website (say a link) I need to mini/maximize again.

If I want to switch to the other tab again, it only works if I do that again. It seems that I can either use the content of a website or use the functions of firefox, (like navigating between tabs, using favorites, typing in the address bar) but not at the same time. I always need to minimize and maximize the program by clicking on the task bar. This goes back and forth forever.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When i use Firefox and do a Google search, find what i need and click on the link I keep getting automatically redirected to another search site called http://www.scour.com
Can someone tell me if this is a problem with Google or Mozilla? or both? or neither?

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
This link may help - http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/02/remove-google-redirect-virus.html
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message 'An error as occurred. Please try again later'. It has been this way for some weeks. I don't have this problem using Safari or Opera.

I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

I'm getting strange files on my desktop "0A75SC100" & "0CFSC100" when I use Firefox. Can't open or trash them..

I'm getting strange files on my desktop when I use Firefox. They have no extensions, won't open, & can't be trashed. File names such as 0A75SC100 & 0CFSC100. When I restart my computer they disappear. There does not seem to be a correlation between a website and when these files appear.
Do I have some type of virus?

Hi Midnight
When I got my imac and used it for a while, for some reason I get .exe, .rm, .mov, and some other files on my desktop
These can safely be ignored as they are probably left over files from something you may have downloaded or only partially download or leftovers from a failed download. The same applies for data transfers
and their filenames are like dhdhdhdhdhd or sjakdshlj34338 and stuff, and when I open them, they are some of my other files I already have, but they appear for no reason. What causes this and how can I prevent this from happening.
Looking at the repitition of letters its more than likely that you are the cause – yes you! You may find it hard to believe but its more than possible that when you think you are typing something and nothing seems to be happening its because you have in fact accidently selected something on your desktop and typed there instead.
I know they are viruses because they loaded just fine
This must be a grammatical error as it does not make sense.
Hope this helps – Tony

I can't seem to use the 'Check seats' link on Delta when I use Firefox but Safari works fine. I get the message 'not available at this time' when using Firefox but when I go to Safari it works fine.

It sounds like you have the wrong printer selected.
When you get the Print window, pick another printer from your printer dropdown. You seem to have a fax printer selected instead of a physical printer.

hi vijaysampath, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page in order to inspect the certificate like it is shown on the screenshot attached:
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.
