Why do i always get the "forsee survey popup" with Firefox ?- no add ons installed

Every time i install firefox even on a brand new system, i always get these "Foresee survey" pop ups on the browser. It's not a seperate window popup, but rather a box that appears on the browser itself. I receive these pop ups when visiting websites like walmart, amazon and other websites where you can make purchases. I do not download any add ons on firefox nor do i have any viruses or spyware as this is a new system with nothing downloaded or installed but the stock apps and i have already run a full sys scan. I have noticed for the longest time i get these pop ups on every system i install firefox on and it only happens with the firefox browser. Does anyone know how i can stop these pop ups without having to install an add on to stop them? I find it unnecessary and a little intrusive to be receiving these pop ups. It means that there is some stock extension on firefox that tracks what websites i visit and thus triggers the pop up survey which leads me to be concerned about my privacy. This almost breaks my preference of the browser.

That seems like your problem there - I'm guessing the http user can't access the /home/icefox/ path
Hello , fukawi2
Thanks for your help , you made me realized that , I did change the permission for /home/icefox directory.
What I did for resolving this problem is , modify the /home/icefox permission , make icefox group can access this folder and add http user to icefox group , then , problem resolved.
thanks , fukawi2 !

Why do i always get the Japanese version of JRE/JDK?

why do i always get the Japanese version?
i am in tokyo and i just want to get the English version of JRE and JDK. Why is it so difficult, I have been trying for the last 8 hours to find mirrors and other versions and installing all of them only to see they are all in Japanese and I don't know why. I checked my settings, my local language is German or English, i.e. not Japanese, and always I install it it's in Japanese and afterwards I get the compiler messages in Japanese and I don't understand them.
And then... why is it so difficult to make a comment at sun? i have been to ibm's page and google, you just fill out a form send it, it takes 5 secs, here it takes 20 minutes to find where you can ask a question, then some more to fill out the questionaire...
could you pls tell me where to get the US/english version for jre 1.4.2.x and jdk 1.4.2.x?

You probally ARE getting the english version. If you are using a japanese version of windows or an english version of windows with the locale setting set to Japan then all of the menus (including the installer) will be displayed in japanese. So it just seems like you are installing a japanese version.
To check your local in windows 2000 go to the control panel and then choose regional options. Then, select the general tab and change your locale to one of the English locales. Also, if you want to keep your locale setting set to Japan there are other workarounds. However, first try this.

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function. I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used. I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

Why now do I get the error message that states Firefox can't find the server at ......

Majority of times when I search for a particular web site I get the error message that states that "Firefox cannot find the server at ... " (site I am looking for)

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

I can't get the local Lowes store with Firefox, IE works fine, why?

I am having trouble getting to the website of my local Lowes store. I am able to get to lowes.com but when i try to show the store locator to pick a local store nothing happens. It is important to be able to get the local store website so as to be able to see pricing and availability of items. With internet explorer this happens automatically, but not so with Firefox. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I did not have this problem with Home Depot.

PLease could you help me too. I have been onto support through several emails and online helps and they do not understand the problem correctly and have not resolved it. I have photoshopcc 2014. If I click on add layer mask icon I get a white thumbnail. That seems ok. I then select a brush - set to normal etc. all ok. Then I attempt to either brush in or out on my photo to reveal or hide bits of layer below and it no longer works.
Weirdly, I noticed it was not selected in channels. So I checked the layer mask in channels and then back in layers it works except now it works by painting on a rubylith (which it did not do before 2014 version) then when I am done if I click apply mask everything works ok and it is done. It just does not work unless I select in channels.
This also happens if I apply an adjustment layer. The adjustment comes into the thumbnails with a mask and the mask is unselected in channels, I have to select and it paints a ruby lith.
If I go to layers in the menu however and select layer mask hide all or reveal all then select my brush it works fine and as it normally did before.
I have tried re installing etc. and every bit of normal advice but nothing works. Can you help or do you know anyone who can. As I am desperate here is my email: [email protected]
thank you

I always get the following message when launching firefox:

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.hk.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have reset firefox and reinstalled firefox, but still could not resolve the problem.

Do you ''want'' firefox to be going to that website when it starts? Are you able to visit other websites in firefox other than yahoo.com.uk? Are you able to visit the site from another computer on the same network? Can you browse the website from the same computer but from a different browser?
If you are able to browse other websites then it is not likely to be a problem with Firefox, but is more likely the website itself or a problem with the DNS resolution being used by your computer network.
If you cannot browse other websites this is most likely a networking problem rather than a Firefox problem.
If you can do what you are trying to do in another browser on the same system, but not in Firefox, then this is more interesting and you need help with Firefox, but please check and make sure it is a problem with Firefox first.

How do I know which add-ons have been validated as safe? When clicking "Add to Firefox" I get the scary warning window about only using add-ons from trusted

The scary warning that appears when I click "Add to Firefox" for a certain add-on discourages me from actually installing it.
"Install add-ons only from authors whom you trust. Malicious software can damage your computer or violate your privacy . . . (author not verified)"
In particular, I'm interested in the Password Exporter add-on. I want to be especially cautious as this will access all my passwords stored in Firefox. How do I actually know if an add-on is safe or not?

If you are talking about "Password Exporter 1.2.1", it's safe as I have been using that add-on for years and love it.

I can't get rid of thanks for updating firefox or add-ons at start-up

Every time I start Firefox, in addition to my home page, I get "thanks for updating" pages from Mozilla, Colorful Tabs, No Script, and Undo Closed Tabs Button. I have tried all of the usual methods for getting rid of them (resetting home page, et al) and nothing works short of removing the add-ons (and that doesn't work for the Mozilla page!). It's not only annoying but it significantly slows Firefox down.
I love Firefox and have been using since its early days and I don't want to stop now but this inability to control it is frustrating and, frankly, disappointing. I do hope the trend to become more like other browsers does not gain speed; for many users, the very fact that Firefox was not like the others is what drew us to it in the first place.
I'd appreciate any help to solve my dilemma.

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the ''menu ''button and then click ''help (?) > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder"''. then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

Why do I always get the spinning wheel of death when trying to open a CC program??

It eventually opens or stalls out and I have to try again. Waaay sloooow - My CS5.5 is better - what's the deal? Using Mac OS X Lion and have plenty of memory.
Is anyone else having this problem? - I don't have time to wait several minutes for the program to open.

Hi bludetailsdesigns,
You can try these & check.
1.If internet is fine then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.
2.Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Try to launch CC desktop and sign in with your Adobe Id (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-f iles.html) .
{Note for step 2: The file is in the user Library, not the Applications folder. To see the hidden user Library (not the system Library) in the Finder click on the Go menu item and then hold down the Alt / Option key. You will see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click onLibrary and then navigate to Application Support > Adobe > OOBE.
Alternatively open the Terminal and paste in the following and then press the Enter / Return key:
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, This will also delete the file}
Hope it works.
Regards,
Rajshree

Why can`t I get the"@" symbol to appear using FireFox version 4´?

Hi.
I`m using a Toshiba laptop and I`m running Windows 7.
(Please note: I don`t have the following problem when I use Microsoft Internet Explorer, or when I`m using Microsoft Word.)
Every single time I try to generate the "@" symbol I get ".
The same type of thing happens for any other alternate character or symbol I try to generate by pressing the SHIFT-KEYand the desired key on the keyboard.
It`s REALLY frustrating because I`ve always loved Firefox.
Cheers.

Why am I suddenly getting the following message when starting Firefox 7.0.1, "using registry key software appdatalow\". I am using Win7 Pro 64-bit.

I had just installed a CAD package that required it to be run in compatibility mode (XP). I now get a window with the following message when starting Fierfox v7.0.1 according to the Help pull down menu and then About.

The story goes on. I am sharing this with other users for information only based on my experience with the product. I've owned a MAC since they were first introduced in 1984 and have used Norton for years. If the virus Bloodhound was real, and not just a false heuristic positive (which is totally possible) it came in on the heels of my downloading a free PDF OCR X (before reinstalling the updated version of Norton for 10.8.3) and using it to convert .jpgs > PDF OCR X text >MS Word > Adobe .pdf as that virus (Bloodhound.PDF.20 is known for exploiting weaknesses in Acrobat and Adobe .pdfs). I have never been happy having to use the MS Office suite of office products for MAC, but EXCEL on a PC is only compatibile with EXCEL on a MAC.
When I got the Bloodhound warning after running a quick scan, I ran a full scan (1,050,660 files) with the same result. I looked at my terminal - nothing happening. I called Norton, who in turn convinced me to purchase an $89.98 subscription + $19.95/month for their spyware and virus removal service (the same sales pitch I've heard from other security providers who sell services through panic). The tech, who said it was probably false, played around with my computer via remote login, and then signed off, saying everything was okay. I reran a full scan and there was the virus again. Called tech support again. Finally got the virus quarantined and tossed it. The reality is that there was a 50/50 chance that it was something because of the way MS Word was behaving when I tried to save the file created from the ocr'd jpgs (error message: disk full- when I have 250GB of free disk space). I had to resave the files with a different name and place them in alternating folders. That havoc is now gone, but I will not be keeping the subscription. Just FYI.

Why do a lot of the Themes not work with Firefox 4.0?

Just upgraded to 4.0 and looking for a theme to use, but alot of them are grayed out and says not compatible with version of Firefox I am running.

You will have to wait for the person who built the theme to update it to work with version4.0

Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?

Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?
My database Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 I installed Oracle Jdeveloper 9i on my computer.
OS:windows2000
My program:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con =java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:db","developer","12345");
java.sql.Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
while (rs.next()){
     //getInformation
     String fjbh=rs.getString("task_title");
If I use this in a common java program(like MyParser.java). It will work well:
D:\JavaApp> java MyParser
but If I put the code into a JSP file . It will not work.I tried several times.
I find that the statment:
     java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
will throw the exception.It seemd that I can connect to the database ,
but can not execute some sql statment.
If I execute this sql statment:
     select sysdate from dual ;
     or
     select task_ID from task ; --task_id is a column with the type NUMBER(10)
it will work.
but if I execute :
     select Task_Title from task where task_id=1; --Task_Title is a column with the type VARCHAR(50)
     or
     select t.task_text.getCLOBVal() task_Text from task t where task_ID=1;
               --task_text is a column with the type XMLTYPE, I use this column save XMLFile.
it will not work.
the detail error information as follow:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ttcgcshnd-1], [0], [], []

It is a database bug (an ORA-0600 almost always is). In this case it is bug# 1725012. You can see the details from MetaLink. There are some patches (by platform) available you should see which may apply to you.

Why i always get the message "Oops! Something just went wrong on our server! We've logged the prbl"

why i always get the message "Oops! Something just went wrong on our server! We've logged the problem and will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience." everytime i added new apps on eprintcenter.

I will need a little more information in order to help out. What model of printer is it that you own? Are you able to ePrint with the machine when you send emails to it? Have you every been able to successfully download apps to the machine without getting the error message? Do the apps that you download successfully download at any time after that error and later work?
