Why am I seeing commercials since Firefox was supposed to have none?

I'm being bombarded from every sort of commercial, ad, and video commercials. Please make them stop!

No browser has built-in commercials, as far as I know. Usually that would be caused either by an add-on or by external software.
To clean up, I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Next, you can "mop up" many remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. Those are free and take a long time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and especially if they require a purchase to clean your system, you may have a serious infection. Try the specialized forums listed in the article.
Finally, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or which doesn't sound essential, try setting it to "Never Activate". ''(The most essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most sites without the others.)''
(2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Success?

Why can't I upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I have Mac OS 10.5.8, with Processor PowerPC G5 (3.1); Speed 2.1 GHz

Why can't I upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I have Mac OS 10.5.8, with Processor PowerPC G5 (3.1); Speed 2.1 GHz

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Are you referring to Australis? <br/>

Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 has that new User Interface. But Australis won't be in a release version until Firefox 30 or 31, well into 2014.

Why am I hearing commercials on iTunes radio when I have a match account?

Why am I hearing commercials on iTunes radio when I have a match account?

Hi, Kilowatts05.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you have subscribed to iTunes Match and you still hear commercials when using iTunes Radio. The usual cause for this would be that iTunes Match is not enabled on the device that is allowing the commercials. You also must be in the United States or Australia for this option to become available.

My iphone was supposed to have 8 GB but only 6.7 are available

My iphone was supposed to have 8 GB but it says only 6.7 are available and i keep running out of room! Why is this?

Some for the formatting and system and other software you have.
I'm not sure if Apple still does this but there was a way GB used to be calculated that meant when you bought a drive it was always a few percentage below the advertised size.

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?

I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

I purchased an iPad A 1460 which was supposed to have an A6x chip. The hardware configuration shows it as an A5x chip. Can anyone advise a solution ?

HI. I purchased an IPad model A 1460 which was supposed to have an 1.4 ghz A6x chip. The hardware configuration however shows that my IPad has an A5x chip. How can this issue be resolved ?

How are you getting this "hardware configuration" information?
If you are using a third-party app, most likely the app is not up to date and does not know about the newer iPad processor to show information about it.

TS4036 I received a message this morning to download new software on my IPhone. I did so but all my contacts were lost! I did not know I was supposed to have backed them up on ICloud

I downloaded the new apple software and it lost all of my contacts! I am a senior citizen and didn't know I was supposed to download everything to ICloud. Can someone help me restore all of my phone numbers? Oddly, the recently used numbers are there. I called apple support and they couldn't help. How can it not be safe to download an apple update on an apple IPhone?

You shouldn't have lost them but soz your gunna have to add em again

Where I can enter my serial number and see what LED my laptop was supposed to have shipped with?

I am unsure if I ordered an LG or AUO and want to make sure that I received the right panel or am compensated for it accordingly.

You can try this: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/ibasepartslookup
It may, or may not, give you enough FRU P/N information to determine the answer to your question.
That said, the program that richk described reads the hardware directly.
Hope this helps.

I had, until today, quite a lot of tabs open in firefox. Now I have none. What the hell happened? How do I get them back? History wont help because some have been open a for some time.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I bought an iphone 5 only 2 days ago and both days the battery has drained to 20%. All I have done is text and make 1 call... Are there any app killers or task killers for this phone to download?

Well, i bought two iphone 5 for me and my wife...she used it for only 2 days and she gave it back to me complaining from the same problem and she went back to her 4S, i thought she was kidding until i used mine,,,oh my god, the battery does not last for more than 6 or 7 hours, even without making any calls. i was so happy with my previous 4S as i used to charge it at night and stay almost 2 days on a stand by before recharge it again. well, im done with apple, have an appointment today in apple store to return mine, and even if they give me 2 new ones, i will not even open them,,,, for sale right away.

Why dos my sent box show 140 emails when I have none?

My iPhone 5 seems to be having an issue with phantom mails, but unlike most of the questions across the forum, this relates to an empty sent box showing 211 emails (but it appears that there are none, and I have deleted all my previously sent messages).
Anyone?

My computer does this too. It also has made my Sent Button disappear and refers me to a "send later" solution. which is do not get or have. Shake the tree, maybe a nut will fall. Crack the nut and there you will find the Chinese answer!

Why does firefox "close" when I close the window but the process doesn't shutdown even with the upgrades since problem was reported.since i had updated to FF25

Frequently after I have been viewing numerous sites on firefox, when I close down the last window and try to reopen firefox, I am told that the program is already running and needs to be shut down. Using Task Manager is not useful, since task manager doesn't show the program as up and running. The only way to get the program to close so it can be used for a different subject is to reboot the computer. This is happening 10 - 12 times a week now, and gradually getting worse. This closes out everything I have open, making it necessary to save all opened files BEFORE I reboot, and then going back to reopen all of them. None of the other questions I've seem point to this particular quirk in the problem.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
'''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}
From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.

Hi- I'm Sarie and no this didn't help. I actually tried to log in to respond and it said I wasn't registered. Not really all that cool.
