An add-on I like continues to try to load its homepage to start boring =

I installed an add-on which works very well except now when you start Firefox it trying to load its home page in a second tab. I'm at work and the site is blocked and I can't go. No matter what I short of uninstalling the add-on may stop the darn annoying popping up tab.

I searched for hours for solutions and have tried all the easy stuff, like in the menu options > tabs > home page, etc... and I have checked for a user js file and there is none.

Thanks for the advice but the standard reset prefs pages you referenced didn't work per' to...

I had already checked for a user.js file before posting and there was no change in name, and then completely delete the prefs.js file did not work. But I had an idea that didn't dawn on me until I revisited the pages you referenced. I suspected that when installing, disconnect has added a line preferably in config. I opened the config on my personal computer in comparison, and of course, there is a line:

Extensions. Disconnect.pwyw; {'date': "2013-12-06", "bucket": "read"}

I simply changed to match the line on my personal computer

Extensions. Disconnect.pwyw; {'date': "2013-12-06", "bucket": "paid paypal"}

And bingo! No more boring tab opening.

  • Something corrupt in my system like everytime I try to load a program loads Excel tries to open the. EXE

    Whenever I try to load a program, for example - Word, Outlook, painting, etc., etc., Excel seems to try to open the program file that I selected.

    I guess something has become corrupted, in which case the system think something ending with. EXE must be opened with Excel.  I looked in the file Explorer-> tools-> Folder Options-> File Types, but .exe is not listed (as it is does not thank God).

    I also tried Run and accessing a. EXE to see if it works, but Excel still trying to open the .exe file.

    I've been playing with an attempt to paste the shortcut in the start list Excel, until I read on the axis 'in the start list.  But can't see how to do a Ctrl + V shortcut in the choke should have had this effect.

    Someone at - it ideas on how to get back to be able to load the programs?

    Thanks in advance.

    You probably need to restore your .exe file associations (as you suspected it).  Follow the instructions on this site, paying special attention to the note at the top to take care. EXE in particular binding problems.

You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    You cannot import a project file (.prel) in another.

    For now, generalize choice

    a. export your Timeline (your intro) content to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. And then import that

    file in new projects by using the new project add Media/files and folders. See publish + Share/computer/and the other

    choices here to generate this file intro for later use in other projects.

    b. you can set up what is called a dummy projects - this is a project with nothing other than the intro file. And, at all times

    you want to use the intro, you open one of these saved dummy projects and add your media sources.

    A lot of things to discuss. Please fill in some details more and then we can refine the answer for your particular situation.

    Thank you.

    I recently reset my network settings. Now, everywhere I go, my wifi (6 more) continues to try to mate with every wifi it crosses. My cellular data cannot connect as he tries (unsuccessfully) to connect, so I have to turn it off to connect to internet. And then, of course, I forgot to turn it back on later when I'm at home, which then uses the data.

    Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Windows Vista continues to try to connect to the VirtualProfile in network connections.

    I was helping my brother set up its new Netgear Wireless USB adapter in Windows Vista and kept running into the same problem.  Once the adapter has been installed, Vista would continue to try to connect to a VirtualProfile under network connections which would interfere with the connection of the profile.  I had my brother take the VirtualProfile and then it connected correctly.  However, after each reboot, the connection of VirtualProfile appears every time and we need to start over the process.  A way to remove this VirtualProfile permanently and why what is happening?  Thanks for any input.

    Hello Flash4,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forum for Windows Vista.

    I suggest you go to your network card making and download / install the latest drivers.

    Also I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files. You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt.

    2. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
     
    3. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thank you.

  • Computer continues to try to install the backup. He asked me to find a path to a folder containing the installation package 'SpareBackup.msi' I can't find it anywhere on my computer.

    SpareBackup.msi installation package

    Computer MT continues to try to run a backup. He asked me to find a path to a folder containing the installation package 'SpareBackup.msi' I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I keep getting is not available.

    Hello

    1. when exactly you get invites him to install SpareBackup.msi?

    Method 1:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot that this issue could be caused by some third party software.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note:

    After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    You can also download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the problem is caused by a Virus/Malware.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
