• Microsoft Silverlight will / can send information about the people and the info on their computer. What are the plans for Firefox to protect its community of users of this?

  After reading the privacy statement from Microsoft regarding their Silverlight 5, it has troubling information about the loss of his privacy, under the "collection and use of information...". "the personal information and the information on my computer! In addition, information may be stored outside of the United States! (paragraph 4 under "collection and use of information... »). As part of the FireFox community, what other options do we have?

  P. S.
  I clicked on "Shared Data" on my Firefox browser, that means all average data? All good or bad I should know about?

  Hello 010matrix010, firefox will not run on the default Web sites, but only silverlight content when a user activates explicitly the plug-in through the icon in the address bar or click on the embedded content.
  also the support for plugins like silverlight in the browser will be dismantled at the end of next year: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

• Cannot connect to my main account from microsoft, so I can't remove it from my laptop.

  Basically, when I set up my laptop, I used my email address of the time. After a few weeks, I have deleted this email address, so it is no longer active. I can't re active either as I deleted it long ago. More of this, I forgot the password of my Microsoft account password, I created with this old email address. I have now a new e-mail address and the new Microsoft account, but the problem is that I can't put it as the main account on my laptop. I can not access contacts etc. without the old old password with inactive addresses. So what I'm asking is, how do I set the Microsoft account most recent being my main on my laptop and remove completely the old, without no password, emails to the old account, because so far, all my options included using the old Microsoft password account, or by sending an email to recovery to my old e-mail account which I can not access. Help, please.

• I am trying to remove Defender Nattly but I can't do it. It says I need permission. How can I remove it?

  I accidentally added nattly my homepage as well as this nattly Defender. When I change the homepage back to Firefox, the next day, nattly pops up again. Help!

  Nattly is a really tough (pun intended). A frustrating thing about this is that, once you have followed all the instructions online and they still do not work for you when you start Firefox to the taskbar where you anchored is that it always directs you to the Nattly search engine. Just unpin it and then he repin from the desktop icon.

  I hope that you did everything that follows (Windows 7):

  1. right click on the desktop for FF icon and go to properties, then remove the argument of the Nattly of the end of the target: line
  2 use free SUPERAntiSpyware (or other) to remove the offending programs that continue to write to the registry guidelines Nattly (cookies too)
  3 use Regedit on the command line in the Start Menu;. Click Edit > search and find all references to Nattly one and change each entry as follows: google.com (or whatever you prefer) instead of nattly.com
  4 type of topic: config in the field of seizure FF and looking for all the references to the Nattly and do the same thing here.
  5 reset FF by clicking Help > troubleshooting information > click the reset button.
  6. Finally, use Windows Explorer to send the Nattly file to the trash. It is located in C:/users / (user) / Appdata/roaming

  That should do it. Don't forget to reset your home page that you prefer. I use Google.ca
