When opening Firefox there is an audio set of advertisements; I can't find where to stop the ad; I've downloaded. How do I get rid of this?

Opening Firefox immediately turns on an audio that contains a series of ads. I have removed the version on my computer and downloaded Firefox 5. It still happens. How did I get rid of the vocal advertisement? It does not happen when I use Safari.

Is that coming from your homepage? Have you tried resetting your homepage to see if those ads don't play? Or tried using about:blank as your homepage?

When I open up a new mail in Yahoo! Mail, email addresses from previous mails stay on screen and block the "copy to" bar. How do I get rid of this?

When you are typing the addresses into a Yahoo! Mail, the browser helps you by suggesting people from your address book in a drop down box.
But when I've finsihed that mail and open up a new one, old addresses remain on screen and block the "copy to" box. You can't click on them or zap them, they are just fixed on screen.
Have had this probelm for a long time, through many Firefox updates and also having moved to a new Mac.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Actually the OP is running Firefox 3.6.8, but has a user agent that is corrupted by an extension (NET_mmhpset)
You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the about:config page. 
You can open the '''about:config''' page via the location bar, just like you open a website. 
Filter: general.useragent 
If '''general.useragent''' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.

Check your System Preferences to see what items you might have set to Startup when the computer is started.
System Preferences > Users and Groups > Select your User Name > Click on Login Items > Select any item you do not want to startup automatically > click on the Minus sign in the bottom left corner.
If the items that seem to open automatically are windows that you had open before shutting down the iMac or before selecting Restart those windows will open again when the computer starts.

When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

What is the purpose of the double click? If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

I don't like Firefox 4.0 and want to go back to the last version.. how do i get rid of this version?

the other version let me access my email on the homepage now i have to go to bookmarks...how do i get rid of this version???!!!

That sounds like the difference between the new Firefox home page '''about:home''' and the previous Google Search page which has '''GMail''' at the top if you used GMail.
You can change your home page so that it points to what you had before, which It would be something like:
* http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
Note on Google pages
* They won't show GMail at the top until you have gone to GMail
Directions to '''reset your home page''':
* http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How to set the home page
More on Search and on Keyword Shortcuts
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/search.htm Search and Substitution Shortcuts especially for Firefox users]
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]
But I don't really understand why you or anyone else would want to use such a page for a home page, it is redundant. You have as many search engines as you want in the search bar, the default search is Google.
You can invoke '''GMail''', any search, any bookmark, any bookmarklet with a [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcut] .
'''You're not stuck with how the toolbars have been changed''' in Firefox 4.0, '''this is Firefox''', you can '''customize''' it. That is why Firefox became so popular, you can customize it how you want it with Customize Toolbars, Extensions, Themes, Styles.
You can make '''Firefox 4.0.1''' look like '''Firefox 3.6.17''', see numbered items '''1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
