Why is yahoo firefox being ran by "unknown" source and verified by equifax on my computer?

When I sign into yahoo-firefox, I click on the padlock at the bottom of screen and it reads, "Authenticated by Equifax" and it's also run by an "unknown" source. I don't know whether it is my settings not being correct, or what the problem is.

If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

  • Why am I constantly being re-linked to ads and pop ups

    I have only had my Macbook Pro a week, and I cannot go onto safari without constantly being re-directed to advertising pages and pop ups appearing on sites that would never have them. I have compared all my settings to my girlfriends Macbook Pro with no differences that we can see. Even when I checked the T's and C's box to agree to the apple support community it opened up 2 other tabs to advertisement websites. Can anyone help me out as I am new to mac and its really annoying me after only having it for one week. I have downloaded adobe flash player and Utorrent but did not download any torrents as of yet. I have tried ClamXav and the scans come back with no results.
    Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Why does the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

    Recently the Mozilla icon on my desktop changed from reading Mozilla to 1788 (the writing right under blue the Mozilla Firefox symbol) . Is this something Mozilla has done or is there an issue I need to resolve and if so how to I resolve this issue?
    Also are there any free virus protection, that work with Mozilla?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this matter.

    No, the desktop shortcut hasn't been renamed. First, make sure it's really pointing to Firefox and not something else:
    1. Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
    <br>2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
    <br>3. Make sure the Target field says<br>
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    4. If it does, then click the General tab.
    <br>5. In the text box at the top, enter the name you want for the shortcut.
    <br>6. Click the OK button when done.
    I take it you're having problems with the avast! Online Security add-on, which is why you have it disabled? Any add-on that scans every link on every page is bound to add a delay to loading time. If you're having more severe issues, you can ask for help on the Avast forum:
    * http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0
    That add-on isn't required for virus and malware protection. Here are some alternatives to the features it provides:

    * Site Correct (automatic correction of mistyped web URLs)

  • Why is the "Firefox Throttle" addon not available anymore and is there a replacement?

    I need to be able to dynamically slow down (throttle) the speed with which my firefox downloads content.
    There are thousands of google links to an extension that seems to do exactly what I want:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5917/
    However this is now a dead link.
    Why?
    Is there a replacement?

    I have been in contact with the folks there about a time line for a version
    that will work with FireFox ver: 4.x and their response is:
    That's ok. I'm really swamped with other stuff at the moment. Best bet is end of April-mid May.
    Regards,
    Denis
    Hope this estimate holds,

  • When I open and close firefox about 3 times, I get the blue screen of death. Why? Also Firefox only opens every second time, and I have to close it manually to fix the problem. How can I avoid this?

    I have to close the firefox from my task list. Before I do that I can't open any web browser. This is really annoying, and I have had this problem only after using Firefox 4.

    For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
    https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
    Will either of those install?
    It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • Why won't firefox open i have windows 7 and it says imcompatible

    I cannot get firefox to open after download! It opened once in minimized window but my troubleshooter is saying it is incompatible - I have an hp 500 with windows 7! I have changed setttings to allow older versions of windows etc. reloaded everything. then a pop up error something about javascript and some illegible words with the word root and objest error

    I am going by my gut feeling - could be an Adobe Flash problem-
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

  • Why won't Firefox open sponsored links on ebay and Google?

    Firefox is incapable of opening sponsored links on eBay and Google, whether in a new tab or not.

    This is due to the Ad Block Plus plugin. If you disable the plugin and restart firefox, it works. I'm guessing there might also be a tweak in ABP that might allow it to work, but I haven't found it yet.
