application like Firefox to download a-squared
To access the Salon.com, a page came pretending to be Firefox (with the logo of Firefox and fonts) and on a security issue that it an immediate fix. Norton Antivirus reported dangerous executable. The url specified when hovering mouse links quite obviously was not a legitimate url from Firefox. Never seen anything like this before. What is going on?
Public Web sites can be infected through "malvertising", which is to use ad networks to promote malicious software. (Often these are Flash-based ads, then see less of them is to take more control when sites are allowed to run Flash.)
It's the most likely scenario, but if you see him again on another site, you can check your system for problem software.
Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.
(1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.
(2) open Firefox page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
- in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
(3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.
Success?

Application of Firefox to download the like.php of sites with Facebook social button
So, I don't know if it's a problem with a site or Facebook in general, but whenever I have access to this site, a download of 'like.php' window will appear four times in a row. I saw the same problems in this forum when I searched for it, but none of them provided a definitive answer. By the way, I formatted my PC a few weeks ago and the problem occurred before him, so he cannot hide history or something like that.
Maybe it's 'Do not track' or other extensions of privacy that I use. If it is not possible a solution now, could someone explain why this happens? Because of the site, Facebook, Firefox, settings or extensions?
Try when even clear cookies or reset Firefox and if that does not work, try to do the same on IE and Firefox Portable.

Every time I empty my cache and proceed to the signing in the email, facebook... I get the same question all over again."Would you like Firefox to remember this password"

I use Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.2, 29, this problem has occurred on the OS 10.8 ~ and various other versions of FF. I use 29 simply because I like it!
The problem: Firefox is configured as the default browser in all directions it is possible to set as the default value. However, when I click on a URL from any application and Firefox is closed, Firefox opens opens, my last session of navigation tabs start, but the link does not open. I must return to the application and click the link again. This only happens on Firefox. I can put any other default browser and it will open the link in a closed state.
This is happening to me, same, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1. I can click on a HTTP link in another application and Firefox becomes the active application, but it will not load a new tab for the link, as expected. Instead, it just sits there. I have to go back to the other application and click on the link a second time, during which point Firefox correctly open a new tab and load the destination URL.

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -

7 Firefox is downloaded, but computer guard uses 3.6 (Windows 7).
I've been using Firefox as my browser since I got this computer a year ago. It has Windows 7. I am suddenly unable to get to my hughesnet email - I get to the login page, but it then stops, is not redirect to the page of the mail. I can get to the post office with Internet Explore (which I hate). S0, I thought that there was a problem between Firefox and Hughesnet. I went to the Mozilla page and tried to download the latest version of Firefox. It seems to download - he is listed in my download list and told me Foxfire 7.01 already exists if I try to download it again. But my computer is still using the old 3.6. I never received a choice "running" after the download of Foxfire.
' It seems to download - he is listed in my download list and told me Foxfire 7.01 already exists if I try to download it again. ":

I just bought the last laptop MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i7. I would like to know which version of Firefox to download on it.
What is the latest version and how to find? I know it is 3.6 but 3.6.13? OU.14? OU.15? Or what? I don't want to spoil, so I'm asking for advice. Is there someone out there who can help you? -
programs like firefox desktop shortcuts, norton360 has stopped working.
Shortcuts to programs like Firefox, explore, Norton 360, Windows Media Player, lead now etc. for a window saying "Windows cannot open this file." Programs open if I find the real execution of command in program files, but it is an argument. Documents shortcuts to the desktop of windows-excellent, word - work.
Problem started after I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Beta 16.
Excellent, just run this fast tool here to fix the LNK (shortcut) file type associations:
That and your shortcuts should start work immediately.

Initially, I downloaded the application and was able to access all my photos by album, photostream, fb, etc.. Now, it will not go all. After you remove the application and try to download it, it says that I have to pay for it (yet) any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like a question of verification on any market that you have bought PS Touch. Have you tried contacting Google and Apple to see what they say?

I have google as my default homepage on my Mac. This morning when I opened Firefox Google home page fills the entire page, there is no menu or toolbar at the top of the page. I tried to click on F11 but it fills just the search bar with an f. I tried right clicking and clicking on 'ESC' but which does nothing. I tried to screw up my version of Firefox and download a new version, but when I opened it, it opened to the Google home page and there's still once a menu or toolbar. I did not restart my computer once I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I'll try that right now.
On Mac, command + shift + f should also switch between normal view and full screen.
Another method that may work is to drag the pointer of the mouse completely to the top of the screen. If the tab slides to the bottom bar, you can right click (Ctrl + click?) an empty area of the top (or right click on the button '+') and you should get a context menu runs with the option for Mode full-screen output.
Does it work?
