Youtube Safe Search excessive

  • Norton safe search no longer works with google search

    Once I updated to Firefox 31 Norton Safe Search icons no longer appear next to Google search results! They worked fine before. They work if I use a different search engine (such as Ask). They work fine with other browsers such as IE11 and Chrome. Only Firefox 31 has a problem! Note that I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and Norton Internet Security, and all my software and hardware is completely up-to-date with latest versions and patches (I'm an IT professional).

    That's ok. I've since checked it out on another Windows 8.1 machine and the same thing. Norton worked properly with 30 and as soon as I upgraded to 31 the "N" disappeared from Google and other searches. I ran all Norton and Windows updates, still no good. That makes 3 machines. Mozilla needs to fix this or else I'll stop using Firefox since the Norton feature is essential.

  • When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

    When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
    In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
    If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

  • When I use the Norton Safe Search box in Firefox 3.6.19 the letters that I type group together and disappear behind the search button at the end of Norton Safe Search....any help?

    I don't know how much more I can add...However, when I type in the Norton Safe Search box up to the search button in Norton Safe Search I can continue to type but I can't see what is being typed because it doesn't allow me to see the trailing end of what I'm typing. This along with the fact that the letters and words don't always automatically advance a space, they group together as I'm typing and I have to stop, provide a space and continue once again. This only happens in Mozilla Firefox, I'm using Firefox 3.6.19. This doesn't happen in the Norton Safe Search Box in Internet Explorer

    Maybe another extension that you have installed is causing that problem with that Norton Safe Search add-on.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes <br />
    Disable all other extensions and see if Norton works correctly. <br />
    I so, start enabling extensions one at a time until you find the culprit.
    If not, create a new Profile and verify that Norton is the only extension that appears in the new Profile and see if it works correctly. <br />

    If not, the problem is with the Norton add-on.

  • Norton 360 tool bar and safe search no longer visible. can I get it back?

    I just installed firefox 4 foptimized for AOL and when it came back up my Norton 360 safe search tool bar and password manager were no longer present. How can I get them back?

    Symantec have released updates for Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security to make them compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894

  • When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton Safe Search Tool Bar. How do I get it back?

    When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton safe search toolbar which not only told me what sites were okay to look at, it also contained all of my logon information for various sites and now, all of that is gone.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How about telling us in advance what programs or plug ins will NOT work with the new Firefox. I just lost my "safe search" feature with AVG, and I think that's sort of important!

    Just upgraded to Firefox 6 (which I like, by the way), but when I upgraded to 5, I lost the gaming feature when I installed AVG, and now I've lost the AVG safe search feature, which I think is very important considering that I have grandkids that use my computer,
    How about telling us in advance (and I'm running Firefox, so a link would be easy) whether or not we're going to lose an important feature like the one I lost?
    So, how do I get back to Firefox 5 without uninstalling and reinstalling so I can have that safe search feature back?

    Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
    Contact information Dennis [email protected]
    Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

  • How can i get rid of Safe Search permanently - it keeps coming up as a plugin

    When I try to search in Firefox, the search keeps going through Safe Search, which apparently is a site that hijacks the Firefox browser. I think I have deleted it using my anti-virus program, but Firefox keeps listing it as a plug-in

    By the way, some extensions have the ability to hide, so it can be useful to test searching in
    '''Firefox's Safe Mode'''
    This is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any improvement? Please check the Extensions section of the Add-ons page to see whether anything new is appearing and if it can be removed.
    If the problem still occurs in Safe Mode, you may want to check:
    '''Connection Settings'''
    By default, Firefox will connect using IE's settings, which I think are the same as Windows' settings. Please check both of the following:
    (A) Firefox
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings" but try "No proxy"
    (B) Windows
    Either in IE or the Windows Control Panel, call up the Internet Options dialog. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings. If anything is checked here, make a note of it, then try unchecking everything.
    Any difference?

  • Enable Safe Search in Group Policy

    We ran across an issue where if a Student typed xxx in the Google Search and then click images, they are submitted to more than an eye full of inappropriate images.  We have the "Safe Search" enabled on our Sonic Wall, but that still does
    not stop the images. 
    Is there any setting within Group Policy we can set to push out enabling Safe Search on all the Computers within the Network?  Or if anyone has a great idea of how to block these websites?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I agree with Zanderol24 that the third party product should be able to help us in this situation. However, for this is a Microsoft forum, we don't support third party product here, and it's recommended that we contact vendor support
    to ask for advice.
    If we are using IE, we can choose to use IEAK to manage IE settings.
    Regarding IEAK, the following article can be referred to for more information.
    Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) Information and Downloads
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/ie/bb219517.aspx
    Besides, we can also try to configure a dummy proxy in Group Policy Preferences Internet Settings item to block websites for IE 10 or above, but GPP settings can be manually edited by users after the settings get applied. If our IE versions
    are below IE 10, we can use IEM to block websites.

  • When opening a new tab, can I make it go to my homepage? Currently "AVG Safe Search" opens with a new tab, I want it gone!

    I downloaded the latest AVG update and with it they were more than happy to hit me with a stupid search bar at the top of Firefox, as well, when I open a new tab it goes to a page that looks like Google but is the AVG Safe Search page. I don't want it to happen! I would like if I could set it so Google home opens when I open a new tab but I haven't been able to find that option.

    Try this?

  • WP8.1 MDM Restrictions - Voice record and safe search not working as expected

    Hi
    I'm having some issues with the new restrictions - 
    Voice recording
    After setting Experience/AllowVoiceRecording to 0, voice recording no longer works as expected in the Nokia recorder app, however you can still voice record from other apps such as One note.  Is this expected or should this restriction be applied at
    OS level?
    Safe search level
    Setting Search/SafeSearchPermissions to 0 or 1 causes the UI in settings > search for the level to be greyed out and states that it is disabled - but it does not show the correct level set.  It seems this restriction is not working or the values
    I am using are incorrect.
    Thanks
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    I was checking the documentation and it seems vague. However, I have a few thoughts...
    Are you running this as PolicyManager/My/<Area>/<policy name> or PolicyManager/Device/<Area>/<policy name>? In Windows Phone 8.1, the PolicyManager configuration service provider is new. "My" path handles the policy configuration
    request coming from the server and "Device" is a read only path to reflect the plicy values that are enforced at the device.
    I would check to insure that you've set it up in the correct area. To troubleshoot, you could also try setting it up in either the opposite area and/or both areas.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I add Norton safe search tool bar ?

    I did my best to follow some other posted related questions and instructions on installing Norton (safe search) tool bar, but was unsuccessful. Help, please !

    I'm no computer genius, but not a total idiot, either. I've spent the better part of (2) days trying to install Norton search safe toolbar on the supposedly latest version of Firefox, and now I'm only just one step closer to seeking mental therapy !!!! I've done the best I could with forum suggestions, and even chatted with Norton directly and followed their instructions, but still no toolbar.....there has to be a better way !! Maybe Firefox should try using Internet Explorer's program that was pretty much a 'no brainer' even for me !
