Why does my Iphone 3 keep opening the ap store when I use Safari?

This just started happening.  My phone keeps opening up the app store by its self.  This happens when I am on a web site.   I will then show I have 2 apps to update, but nothing needs updated.   I have closed all open apps, cleared history and cookies and data in safari, and reset the phone.  Nothing works.  Can someone please help?

there should be a way to prevent such behaviour.
There is. You can go to Settings -> Safari -> Advanced and turn off JavaScript. That will break many websites though. Or, you can simply stop visiting the sites that are doing this, which would be my choice.
Alternately, if this is happening with every single site you visit, you may be having some problems with your network. As an example of the sort of thing I'm talking about, see:

Although the following page is written for Mac users, and thus some of its advice is not appropriate for the iPhone, you can still find some good information on such problems here:

  • Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume?

    Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume? it isn't the buttons and i keep trying to fight it and keeps increasing... Any advise, i seem to be the only one having this problem. The phone just keeps increasing volume by itself and can't do anything about it, its off and on.

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • Why does my iPhone keep showing the Apple logo, dimming, then showing the logo again?

  • HT1420 Why does my computer keep asking to be authorized when i put my iphone on the charger?

    Why does my computer keep asking to be authorized when i put my iphone on the charger?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

    why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

    Hi ManiPictures,
    If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction - 
    If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does my iPhone keep notifying me of upcoming birthdays on Facebook, I can't stand it. How do I get this off?

    Why does my iPhone keep posting notices about upcoming birthdays from fb? How do I get rid of it?

    It's all coming from Facebook.
    Either a notification is turned on or somehow these "events" have been synced to the calendar.
    The "how to fix" would depend on the notification.  If it's coming from the Facebook app, again, fix the notifications in the settings for your facebook account.  Since you're also getting emails, I believe this is where the notifications are coming from.
    If they are coming from the calendar app, then either change the notifications for each event or delete the events.

  • Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why does my iphone keep dropping calls

    Why does my iphone4 keep dropping calls??? It has been doing it for over a week. Does anyone have an answer.... AT&T says they are not having any problems and I have done everything but restore my phone.

    Unfortunately, this has plagued the AT&T iPhone since the original model came out. It's most likely a dead zone causing the issue (I have the sameissue from time to time). You can also get a Micro Cell from AT&T, it's basically just an access point that allows you to pick up a cellular signal at home or work (where ever you set it up).
    To eliminate any hardware issues, make sure you're on the latest build of the OS (4.3.3 for the AT&T iPhone 4) - I noticed you're still on 4.3.2. If you don't have a case, I suggest the Apple bumper or any case that covers the metal bezel on your phone, that will help as well.
    Also, you can "reboot" your phone. To do this, hold down the metal sleep button on the upper-right corner of your phone until the "slide to power off" slider is displayed, then power off the phone. Wait a few minutes and turn it back on.
    Hope this helps!
