When opening a new tab, Pogo with Yahoo search pops up first - how do I get rid of this

When clicking on a new link, the page changes to Pogo.com with a Yahoo search bar mid screen until the new tab starts to load, then it reverts to the originale page. Im using vista with yahoo as a home page, links open in a new tab. Tried changing home page to Google and reloading different releases of ff 4., started after latest updates of microsoft vista - help!

It took me most of a day to figure this out, but I finally did, after uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar all over the computer, including Internet Explorer but when I went back to Firefox it was still listed on my toolbars, and continued to produce the Pogo search screen whether the toolbar was enabled or not. I found the answer by accident by phrasing it slightly differently on Firefox help. I have XP, but the basics is go click on Tools, then Add-ons, then Extensions. Uninstall Yahoo toolbar and that should do it. Mine is now free of it. The point being that the download came in with something else (in my case a game I was trying out) and you need to get rid of the download on Firefox.

My safari stopped letting me open a new tab in the same window. what happened and how can I get it back to normal?

When I try and open a new tab in the same window, it wont open a new tab. It leaves the page I am on and goes to the "top sites page."

Hi,
If you have got to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 and therefore Messages version 7.0.1 then double click the individual chats.
Once they are in separate windows you can chat like that (That's the way I used to chat - I didn't even use the tabbed chat)
It is impossible to create a separate Chat window each new chat (you have to separate them off from the main window which also keeps a "copy")
New chats are added to the main window even if you have used the red button to hide it. (CMD + 0 from the Window menu brings it back)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When ever I try to open something up in Safari, it says blocked plus in. How do I get rid of this

Whenever I try to open something in Safari, it says blocked plug in. This did not happen a month ago. How do I correct this?

If it is the flash plugin go to this Adobe website, Adobe - Flash Player, and check to see which version you're running. The current version is shown on the page. Click on the Player Download Center link and download and install the latest flash plugin for Safari.
Don't download flash from any other soruce as there are scams and malware sites out there with the Flash download as the hook.

When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks
