Words on pages are highlighted and linked, how do i stop that?

i understand that links are in blue, but i am getting suggested links in other colors and things that may or may not be link is different colors. i even have pictures pop up when i move my mouse over these highlighted words. it's like there are KEY WORDS that LIGHT UP... can i stop this?
here is an example:
Psychic Society International certification: 12-1-1998
Ordained, Reverend, Universal Life Church: 4-21-1999
certification, Ordained, and Universal Life are all HIGHLIGHTED and when in put my mouse over it a picture will show up.
how can i stop this??

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    Can you provide a URL for a couple of pages that have this problem so a volunteer can take a look at the site?
    Do ads appear when you mouse over those phrases? Some extensions include that advertising technology, but I'd be surprised if someone is using those terms to display ads. Still, worth checking.
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs (if you don't use the add-on every day, disable it, it's easy to re-enable):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • Since upgrading to Lion, applications are opening multiple files, how do I stop that?

    When I open pretty much ANY file, the application for that file will open not only the intended file, but also between one and three previously opened files.  Not sure how to stop that.  Once I've opened the file (and the unintended files), any other files I open for that application open normally with no additionallly opened files.  However, if I close the entire application and try opening just one file again, it will recur.  I've looked in preferences for the offending applications, to no avail, and also in system preferences.  This never happened with previous version of the OS, and only just started after I upgraded first to snow leopard and then to lion.  This software behavior is quite annoying, especially with files that have been moved elsewhere, which tends to make the application hang instead of opening the intended file.

    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

  • I am new to firefox. when i loaded firefox and set my home page," mozilla opening page" always opens as well. how do i stop that? in English"

    it opens in another tab. is this an automaticv process or can it be turned off?

    After starting go to the tab you don't want for home page and delete. When in your proper home page selection goto tools..options and select current. Restart. You should be ok. BTW this will happen with all upgrades and updates.

  • When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed.  But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying

    When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed.  But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?

    Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?
    Because in some cases, let's say, night scene, usually has many black pixels in the sky. Which perform nice contrast against the colorful signs.
    Please check the attached image for reference(01.tif).
    I know there's nothing in the sky, so I would like to keep all the pixels to be clipped. Is this right?
    Some of my students says that other instructors told them to keep all the pixels in the histogram.
    But I tell them it depands on how would you like your images to show. Am I correct?
    As the attached image, it's impossible to pull the black pixels back to the histogram and I think it's acceptable in this case.
    Let's see the 2nd case(02.tif), this image has highlight clipping in the clouds.
    I like the way this image looks, which looks like a watercolor painting.
    If I pull the white pixels back, the image will change a lot and I will get a very dark overall.
    My question is, is it that important to keep your images without having highlight or shadow clipping?
    This is not apply to any image, right???
    THANK YOU

    For a more in depth discussion of clipping, it should be noted that clipping can occur in either the raw file or the rendered white balanced file. In the latter, it can take the form of luminosity clipping or saturation clipping. Saturation clipping occurs when the chosen color space is too small to accommodate saturated colors at a high luminance. In ACR, saturation clipping is indicated by a colored line or shoulder at the right of the histogram. The remedy is to use a larger color space. Luminosity clipping in ACR is indicated by a white line or shoulder at the right of the histogram and the remedy is to adjust exposure or use highlight recovery.
    Examination of the OP's histogram shows a yellow line at the right, indicative of saturation clipping of the red and green channels. The OP could try a wider space such as ProPhotoRGB.
    Here is an image of a a flower rendered into sRGB using the ACR defaults and the Adobe Standard camera profile. It appears overexposed and the yellows (actually reds and greens) are clipped as indicated by the yellow line at the right of the histogram.
    The raw histogram (produced by Rawnalize) shows that the image is well exposed. The red and green channels are just short of clipping. The image appears overexposed with ACR, since ACR uses a baseline exposure offset for the Nikon D3.
    However, when white balance is applied for this daylight exposure, the red channel is multiplied by approximately 2.21, and this should result in clipping of the red channel. This did not work exactly as expected with ACR, so I used Iris (a freeware astronomical program which allows extensive control of the conversion process) and examined the histogram of the resulting image in Photoshop. Note that the green channel is just short of clipping, as expected and that the red channel is clipped.
    To avoid clipping with the white balance in ACR, it is necessary to use negative exposure to offset the red white balance multiplier. I chose to use a bit of highlight recovery as well to tone down the highlights while maintaining a pleasing value for the midtones. Here is the resulting preview with rendering into ProPhotoRGB.
    In this case, I was able to avoid clipping. However, when the image is printed or viewed on a display with a limited gamut, some clipping would undoubtedly occur.

  • When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX

    When using FF 5.0, rollover type ads (i.e. ads for XBOX) on Facebook game Lexulous pages are 'enlarged' and block 1/3 of the game board. Using up to date versions of Win 7 Home Premium, Adobe Flash and ActiveX on an HP Pavillion dv7 laptop. Does NOT happen at all in MS IE 8, but occurs every time in FF 5.0.
    Also, Google 'translate this page' links do not work in FF 5.0, but works in MS IE 8. All I get in FF is a blank page, time after time.

    Hi,
    I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
    In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
    The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
    In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
    For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
    More explanation I gave above.

  • Safari pages are darkened and unresponsive. Internet is fine. Syncing with MacBook did not solve problem. Everything else works fine.

    Safari pages are darkened and unresponsive. Internet works fine. Syncing to MacBook didn't help. Everything else works fine, including a different browser and apps that use the internet. Safari responds to searches and bookmark changes, but pages are not clickable. Help, please.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Also have you cleared the cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). Also, if your equipment list is correct, you update to 4.3.3

  • All devices are getting my emails and texts, How do I change that?

    I have a few apple products. I updated to iO6 and all my devices are getting my emails.How do I change that?

    Jerry,
    Thanks for the info, but I did not see a circle in the upper left corner nor a paint brush to select format inspector.  I did open inspector by clicking on the blue circle with the "i" in it and then clicked on "T" for text but I did not see any font settings.  What is happening is that when I type text or numbers in a cell I see a random set of symbols in the cell, but in the bar above the table I see the correct text or numbers.  I looked at some other solutions for default fonts and the response was that there is no way to change the default font.  Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Pete

    You don't need an app to do this.  Here's how you get the battery info.  Go to Settings>More>Battery. This will show you all the active apps and their individual battery usage.
