When I visit certain web sites, a "cash back slider" appears; how do I prevent this from happening?

When Firefox opens certain sites, a "cash back slider" appears near the top left hand side of the screen. I have to move it to the middle of the screen in order to close it. I thought it was an add-on that I had inadvertently installed, but it is not included when I search the ad-on list. This feature is very annoying and I would like to disable it, but I can't figure out how to do so.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

  • When downloading as a PDF, my entire page turns blue. How do I prevent this from happening?

    Help! I've completed my flyer and everything looks great in Illustrator, however when I save the document as a PDF the entire thing turns a dark shade of blue. It almost looks as though the whole page as been highlighted. This only happens when it's opened as a PDF and not in Illustrator. Can someone help me figure out what I did wrong here?

    Nobody can know. You have not provided any technical details, starting with system info and what versions of the programs you use nor have you told us anything about what's going on in your documents. From using a specific color or appearance to using a specific PDF preset that wrongly flattens stuff to Acrobat's hardware accelerated page display not working properly this could be a million things.

    If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

    Hey there 79usma79!
    I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

How do i prevent this from happening? I have looked in system prefereces....maybe i am over looking something, Thanks

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General -> Connecting Camera opens.... And select your preferred app.
    You can also make the same choice in the Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and Aperture preferences.

  • Windows 7 crashes when I visit certain web sites

    I have been running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium since it first came out. I have a HP Pavilion desktop with 8 gb of memory and 700 gb of hard drive. It has worked fine with no crashes since day one. Recently I got my first blue screen with a notice that the system had crashed and a "crash dump" was going on. I rebooted and the system started up again and I have no problems. Now it has happened six or seven times in the past month, most of the time when I visit an ESPN page where there is a video that starts whether I want it to or not. Usually while the video is loading is when the crash happens. One other time it started happening when one of my desktop applications (Weatherbug) was very busy updating itself; after a couple of crashes I uninstalled Weatherbug and now it only crashes when I go to ESPN. This can't be a problem exclusively caused by ESPN, I wouldn't think, and I suspect that if I went to more sites with similar video features it might happen again. But this has never happened before, so what has changed in the past couple of months that has caused my computer to crash so often?

    Please Mention the website...
    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • When I 'Tab Groups,' the search function immediately pops up (and it won't go away) every time, preventing me from accessing my grouped tabs. How can I prevent this from happening?

    Using Firefox 5.0 with Windows 7 on a laptop, whenever I click the 'Group Tabs' icon to the right of my tabs, the search function immediately comes up over my grouped tabs, preventing me from using any of them. When the search function comes up, the screen goes semi-dark and the search bar appears - any text I type at this time is entered into the search bar (the search function works normally). If I click any section of the screen at this time the search function disappears and the screen regains color - but only for a fraction of a second, and then the search function comes up again, along with the darkened screen. Hitting 'escape' or 'backspace' produces the same effect. Is there any way to disable this unceasing search function?

    This is something you need to report via the Feedback button (or use the link on the Help menu).
    Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA and not slated for release until June 21.
    Reinstall the full version of the current release which is v4.0.1, download link at the top of this forum.

  • My home page is MSN and whenever I scroll down the page, the "Bing Web Search" menu drops down and covers part of the page in Windows XP. How can I prevent this from happening?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811325''
    This only happens on the home page. The drop down appears as soon as the "Bing Web Search" at the top of the page disappears as one scrolls down the page and remains visible until I scroll all the way back to the top of the home page.

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

    That is a bug on Mac.

  • When I try to add Chinese as a language to use on my macbook, I get an error message saying that system preferences quit unexpectedly. How can i prevent this from happening?

    Is there some reason you cannot update to the standard 10.6 install?  The combo updater to use is at
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Otherwise you might try setting up a new user account and see if you still have the problem when logged into that.
    Most likely you have a bad .plist in Home/Library/Preferences

  • I get a file upload popup when composing an email using Godaddy webmail. How can I prevent this from happening?

    When I try to compose an email from Godaddy's webmail in the Firefox browser. My steps are as follows:
    -Open Firefox.
    -Log in to Godaddy webmail.
    -I hit the compose button.
    -New window pops up. This is the window that I would compose an email in.
    - Right after the compose window loads, I get another window that pops up. This window says "File Upload" in the upper left corner.
    If I exit that window I can then compose my email, and life is good until I want to compose another email. Then the problem repeats. I have contacted Godaddy support and the problem is not on their end. Also the problem DOES NOT happen when using another browser (Internet Explorer).

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I get redirected to a different site based either on my locale, keyboard language or product language. How can I prevent this from happening

    There are several sites that I access where I type in www.xxxxx.com or support.mozilla.com expecting to get the American site but due either to my "locale" which is set to Germany or my "Keyboard Language" which is set to German, I get automatically redirected to the German site. As all my software is in English but I have a German Laptop, I wish to go to the English sites. Conversely there are sites where I type in www.xxxx.de wishing to go to the German site, but get re-directed to the UK Site because my software is in English. Many of these sites then allow you to chose the country you want thereby correcting this behaviour, but unfortunately there are a host of sites whose programmers have not foreseen the need for this and the sites are thus unreachable. An example of this is www.proidee.de which automatically redirects me to the UK Site.
    What I am looking for is some way to prevent these sites from imposing their will over my decisions. I see this as a direct infringement of my rights.

    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.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
