After opening firefox, maybe a minute later, a Web site called DRIVER UPDATE is displayed. How does work and how can I stop this?
It has nothing to do with the homepage which is set for Google. The long delay between the opening with Google and the appearance of the Windows Vista drivers, which is a Slimware utility, is not understandable to me.
Hello
Unfortunately, it seems that you have a virus on your computer. Try it following one of these guides to remove it (I'm not sure that you are affected by, but one does not appear to affect Vista?):
- http://www.fixyourbrowser.com/removal-instructions/remove-Windows-7-driver-update-pop-ads-virus-removal-Guide/
- http://www.fixyourbrowser.com/removal-instructions/remove-update-Windows-drivers-now-ads-easy-removal-Guide/
The two have similar steps and use the software free anti-malware software such as:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
Good luck with the kidnapping.

I use Win 7 and just upgraded to Firefox 4. In my plugin section, when I activate a program, the word disabled immediately appears next to the program name. This happens to every program plugin I have.
So, when I use Firefox and the need for a plugin is necessary, I received a message telling me that this program is disabled even if the word activate will still appear on the plugin line. I never had this problem in one of the Firefox 3 browsers. How can I fix this problem?It could be that the plugin you are trying activate is not compatible with Firefox 4 and leaves people with reduced mobility.
If a plugin is disabled, it will have the word "enable" next to him; There is a button for you to click to activate the plugin, and not a label describing the status of plugin.
If I've got it completely wrong, please post a screenshot.

When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?
Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).
I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.
Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.
Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.
Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.
Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.
As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.

When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do. I then shut down the film before I was presented with the opportunity to create a new project. How can I stop this waste of time boring? I use the old iMovie HD 6.0.4 because I find that it is superior to the new versions. IMac 27 "2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
This has always been a 'feature' of iMovie 6!
The only solution I know is to move the project current iMovie to another folder, which is in documents, for example, where iMovie can't see it.
