Z 4.6.7.7 is installed without my permission and NONE of your ways of uninstalling it work

all of the extensions in the program files folder for firefox are EXACTLY the same. all nonsense letters and numbers, and in them are files with the exact same name. it is impossible to tell which one is the one i need to get rid of

Use the following extension to determine which folder belongs to which extension:
*'''''Extension List Dumper''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extension-list-dumper/
*After install, a new button is added in the upper right of the Add-ons display (''Add-ons > Extensions'').
**Click that button, a new window will open, <u>be sure that only the "ID" option is checked</u>
**Scroll down the list to find the Extension name and the ID will be immediately under it.
**The ID will correspond to the name of the folder in your Profile/extensions folder
Finding/opening your Profile folder: Click Help > Troubleshooting Information > under "Application Basics" find "Profie Directory" and click "Open Containing Folder" to the right, then click the "extensions" folder.
*Also see --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Profiles#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
*Also see --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Finding_the_profile_folder
If the extension reappears after restarting Firefox and/or you computer, the item is being added by an application that your installed and you will need to determine what needs to be removed from Windows Control Panel

    What happens if you use the Share button and select Mail?
    What happens when you try? I had to hold there photo there for a short period before it would load.

  • I want to change my password but the system is not sending me message to reset my password. pls help someone is using my password without my permission and i want to change my password.

    i want to change my password but the system is not sending me message to reset my password. pls help someone is using my password without my permission and i want to change my password.

    If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
    In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I  had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
    Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

  • Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folder

    Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folde and has no folders unlike most messaging features on other phones.
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Why do you need a Sent folder?  iOS's Messaging interface lays each conversation out like a chat or IM.  Personally, I find that much more convenient.

  • The latest update install without my permission, how I do to delet it

    The lasted update install it self without my permission. You had remind me everyday to install it, but I deny because I need my RoboForm very much, but now it's gone. I need it so badly
    How I do to take it away, because I wanted to wait until RoboForm was accepted in this update.
    Please tell how I take away it.
    Anders Degerman

    I don't see how the Password Exporter extension would work in Firefox 32. The password files were changed as of Firefox 32, and that extension doesn't look like it was updated.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/
    Version 1.2.1
    Released August 29, 2010 - ''Over 4 years since the last update.''
    Works with Firefox 3.0 and later ....
    See if this helps you.
    Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    Paste this pref in the Search field at the top.
    '''signon.importedFromSqlite'''
    Then double-click that pref to toggle it to false, then restart Firefox.
    Hopefully your Passwords will show again.

  • Why the App can automatically installed without my permission?

    Why the Funshion Online Technologies App can automatically installed on my iPhone which without my permission?

    What good does that link do? That web link tells you how to go back to version 3.6. I just want to go from version 9 back to 8.

  • Hello got installed without my permission

    The Hello app or "Start a Conversation" icon showed up in my Firefox browser tab/interface without my permission. I remember getting an email saying I downloaded Start a Conversation from the app store (itunes) and then as quickly as the email opened, it disappeared without me deleting it. I never downloaded anything like that. When the email disappeared, I thought nothing of it, maybe I pressed delete by accident and thought it was just spam anyway. Today I noticed this icon showed up in my browser without me doing anything. It is a smiley face when I hover says Start a Conversation. Did I get a virus? I'm using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite installed. How do I delete this icon? I removed it from the browser interface using Customize, but I don't know how to delete it.

    The selected solution only removes the button from toolbar, however the code, ports and connection to loop is still open and firefox can be connected using that port, which is a very good backdoor for spying!
    To remove it completely one have to open omni.ja file and remove all the scripts related to loop ("start a conversation" and "share this page") which is impossible to open because its format is not a standard zip and tools to open it does not exists anymore (outdated, removed or not working anymore).
    if there was a good intention of making this stuff, firefox developers could put it as an extension which was possible to enable/disable. I want it removed from my browser and don't want to see this kind of stuff on it again. If a checkbox to enable javascript makes firefox complicated, this one for sure does a hell worst job in complicating problems. JUST REMOVE IT

  • Newbie Question - application install/setup for admin and non-admin users

    Hi,
    I'm 100% new to the Mac environment and OS X and I'm a bit confused as to the environment and setting up applications and such for users.
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I need to set-up.
    USER Setup
    - have a dedicated admin account called "Administrator"
    - have a user account for my son, Joe.
    - have a user account for me, Matt, so I can fool around on the machine to see if I like it enough to get one myself.
    This is the account setup model I'm most accustomed to using under OpenVMS and Windows - an administrator account and separate lower privilege accounts for users.
    I have managed to accomplish these three tasks ok. I also enabled File Vault on my account only.
    APPLICATION Setup
    We want to install the following applications but I'm having problems:
    - Firefox, for use by all three accounts, but with separate bookmark files for each user. This is the browser we are familiar with and want to start with (sorry Safari, maybe as time goes by).
    - Eudora for e-mail for just the two user (mine and Joe's) accounts, with separate user files for each account. It's the program we're familiar with.
    - Microsoft Office for all three accounts.
    - An architectural CAD program (ArchiCAD) for use only in my account.
    - PGP for use only in my account.
    My real issues appear to be with how to install apps the way I need them to be 'visible' to users.
    I started by logging in as Administrator and downloading/installing Firefox.
    It installed ok under the administrator account but I can't find/access Firefox when logged in via my or my son's account and I don't know what to do to give my/Joe's account access to it.
    So,
    1) How do I install an application once and make it available to all accounts (admin & user)?
    2) How do I install an application and make it useable only by a subset of users
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Look at these links for new users. They should give you an overview regardless of which version of OS X you are using.

  • Can't install without Admin login and password

    I have no idea where this comment should be posted...that is a clear indication that your "HELP" has failed this user.  BTW, were the previous hopeless, distraught comments helpful to me?  They made me feel I am Not alone in my utter disbelief at the run around you engineer into your """"support"""".  Why do the people who you get on the phone  after 20-40 min at 1-800-833-6687 even bother to lead you down a path that they are going to address your issue, when in fact they send you back to the website, or the forums.  Which is worse.  I can't say.  I was sent 4 times in a complete circle.
    My issue is probably DOA in your rule book as I am trying to re-install an ADOBE PRODUCT that you DO NOT SUPPORT.....It does not matter that the question I am asking has nothing to do with the product.  The product is still working fine, that is why I want to install it on my current computer,  When I put the disk in, I am prompted to enter the system administrators name and password.  UNFORTUNATELY, I have lost track of this info and need to know how I can install this software even though I don't have this info.  Many phone calls and emails later, and a lot of stress, I am no closer to knowing if this is even possible.  I've been sent to the FORUMS and you know what that means.  Looking forward to hearing from you. 

    Hi, ArtLion,
    I am moving your question to the Downloading, Installing & Setup forum.  They are much more likely to have an answer for you.

  • An update was downloaded without my permission, and it says Install pending... how do I prevent it from installing?

    I made the mistake of clicking "check for updates" because it instead downloaded the update. I have my settings set to "check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" but the "Check for Updates" button does not allow me to choose... they're downloaded immediately.
    This is a serious violation of my trust in Firefox and I will not allow these updates to be installed. If I can't stop them... I will uninstall Firefox and wash my hands of Mozilla permanently.
    Firefox 14.0.1
    Mac OS X 10.7.5

    The check for update but don't don't install only applies to automatic updates. It doesn't apply if you click the update button yourself. Also, running such an old version of Firefox leaves you at serious risk for attack or loss of personal information. You should update to 16.0.2 immediately to stay secure.

  • Acrobat dc installed without my permission

    I implicitly installed a version of Acrobat XI 30 day demo on my machine for testing and evaluation.
    Now this Adobe Acrobat DC appears in my CC menu.
    I never installed this, as I want to buy the standalone version. Also there is no uninstall, only update
    to a program I never wanted........

    i am a cc subscriber, but i do not know how it really works.
    upgraded from a premieme CS suite.
    The DC version is radically different!
    I have to unlearn everything i learned.
    thanks

  • "Hello" got installed without my permission. Can "disable" but not uninstall. Why?

    I've been searching the net and can't find any description of how to remove "Hello". I don't allow anything on my computer that can switch on cameras or microphones or wants my contact information.
    Why is this not a plug-in or add-on that people can choose to install or not?

    Firefox Hello is a new feature in Firefox 35 or 36 I believe. You can disable it if you don't use it by going to <b>about:config</b>
    *Search for <i>loop.enabled</i>
    *Set it from <b>true</b> to <b>false</b>
    *Restart Firefox to complete the disabling of Hello.

  • Virus?  Updates installed without asking permission....

    My friend sent me an e-mail yesterday stating:
    *"About 3 days ago I came into my office and my computer said I would need to restart for the updates to .... normaly it won't download an update unless it asks. Since then I am having trouble with the airport signal staying strong enough in my office and the batteriy won't charge unless the computer is turned off ... everything is very, very slow."*
    I know that his computer is near a very strong Netgear Router and normally gets 100% signal strength from his office.
    Can someone help us to know what to do?
    Thanks

    I have no idea what to do or what the diagnosis for this is, but im going to throw out a possible cause?... :P
    Maybe the battery is acting up with the charging issue and causing magnetic distortion of the wireless network?... Improbable, but not impossible
    Im not sure about it being a virus for two reasons, 1. they're kind of hard to find, 2. creating a virus to stop a battery from charging sounds sort of difficult to do and would only affect a very FEW number of people out of the whole computing world
    Thats as much as i can do for you, hope someone can help you soon.

  • Lms install without dns server and NTP

    I know it sounds weird but ATM the deployment does not include this two cause the network is meant to be totally closed
    and ntp server will be implemented soon
    is there a way to ovecome this?
    how to set time in appliance bios? UTC? localtime?
    domain? (localdomain)?
    dns? (127.0.0.1)?
    thank you in advance

    It can talk NTP and DNS to any device on the network supporting the protocol.
    LMS talks NTP but takes the time from anyone. It doesn't verify the stratum. Any switch/router talking NTP will do.
    You could even run a DNS service on the server it self.
    Cheers,
    Michel

  • Installed update 2015-002, and Connection to Windows FileShare is no longer working

    Installed update 2015-002 (10.10.2 ?) to MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and CFS connections (Windows file share) connection no longer works properly. It was working without any problem just before the upgrade. Can I go back or uninstall the upgrade, until this problem is fixed?  This seriously impacts me at work...

    Hello DaveT001,
    If you feel that the update is causing you and issues you can always reinstall OS X Yosemite. To do that, take a look at the article below to walk you through how to do that. Then it is a matter of updating your system to what you want it to be.
