Every second a link or I click on getting me to unwanted redirected Web sites, Ive tried all the antiwormspyware and it does not happen with Chrome or IE
For the last few months since I've updated last Firefox when I do a search on google for the most part, but sometimes of other links too sometimes. I click on a link and more than half the time it redirects me to websites virus, pirates, games of chance or porn. Ive tried to find a worm or a malware with all known antivirus-antispyware programs, but nothing. I know it takes some malware or trojan but can you tell me are you aware of this and if so how can I get rid of him. I prefer to use Firefox for Chrome, but it can't on Chrome, so it must be a specific problem of Firefox
It could be from a malicious add-on or 'search bar' which has installed without your permission. Check your add-ons to see if you have no matter what you do not recognize. Also, are you using any "bars," extra in addition to your navigation/menu/bookmarks bars? Sometimes adware disguised as research tools for your browser.

Using Firefox 27.0, when I click on a link, a rotating cursor appears and continues to run. Move the cursor will solve the problem. I had this problem for several versions of Firefox, and I use automatic updates.
Please update Firefox, troubleshoot Add - ons and if this does not help, then do a clean reinstall.
Thank you!

Since the upgrade to 8.0, when navigation between screens, my computer screen becomes black for 1 second before the screen is redrawn. This happens regularly and is a major nuisance. It simulates a power failure. It does not happen with IE.
Here I answer to my problem: I upgraded my graphics card and the problem seems to have disappeared.

What happened to the button on the left end of the address bar which allow you to see the pages you had been so that you don't have to click the back button several times? You can look at the drop down window of pages and just choose whatever you want. I use it all the time and it is not on FF4. I want to go back to the old FF.
If you right click on your back button, or click and hold down the mouse button, it will display the list. (I prefer a click-right, because sometimes my fingers slide when I try to click and hold)

New tab opens when I click on email link, this does not happen with IE or Chrome
I use a specific website for the work. When I click on a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an e-mail, it also generates a new tab for no reason. It is a waste of time. Happening on the same site in IE or Chrome.
Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of the following methods:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with the extensions disabled at the bottom.
As a general criterion for the problems caused by any extension, the user may try the same pages/functions Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
(Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
If the problem disappears, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.
Keep in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or outages as extensions, but in this case, I would look at the extensions.

Right click and I get a picture of the entire window (tabs above, the entire site). In the upper right corner of this photo (photo is inside this menu after right-clicking straight or suggestions) I have my standard menu. When I try to point sth (on the menu) it starts flashing (picture, menu, picture...). It drives me crazy. I even tried system reinstall and it happens again.
I'm working on laptop. It is not a beast but not some junk too.
Any ideas?
P.S, English is not my first language so I tried to make everything as clear as possible. If sth does not know just let me know.
P.s2 I could use some of the built in dictionary to avoid misspellings, but I can't.
Hello montone, maybe it's a problem with hardware acceleration - try updating your graphic driver, or in case this does not solve the problem, or there is no new version available at the time, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > General.

A notification can up on some type of script, which then disappeared before I could take a note. After that links up on all web pages would not work by using the mouse cursor.
It was only the links on a webpage, not on the menu bar or tabs above.To see if this happened on another browser, I opened the pages using Internet Explorer and open the links on all the pages that are controlled via the mouse. This sugested, it was a problem with Firefox.
I uninstalled Firefox and installed a new application of the latest edition of Firefox, but the problem persists.
No known cure for this problem.
This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.
You can keep an eye on this thread:

For example Facebook, I can't click on the House or one of the tabs on the top, as well as some information through the pages. For Youtube, I can't click in the area of research as well as other places. I can't log out of my RBC page... It happens on each site, I try to use.
This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar that spans both down and covers the top of the browser window and therefore links and buttons in this part of the screen not clickable.

Right click mouse to drag and drop or rename folders and files does not work
For a few weeks now, I had problems with the right click function to drag - move files and folders, or rename files and folders. This happens when I use windows Explorer or access to the computer and click thruogh for a feature. He can't go to all the folders and files, but many. I can't right click on these folders or files to change the sharing because explore closes and restarts on the desktop with a right-click. Manifest error "appcrash" reason. I have Norton Security suite installed and neither Norton or your fix program detects a problem.
Please notify.

Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)? Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started? If so, you know the names of these infections?
Do you know when this problem started? Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates. It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.
Are these files and folders in your user profile? If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there). To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile. If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055. If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation. Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account). Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.
We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:
Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228. Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).
While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup. Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.
Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista. Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change). Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.
If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone). Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html. Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs). If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.
I hope this helps.

Click and drag does not work.
It kills me.
I can't click and drag anything. No selection tools. No net.
I tried the magic keys to reset the settings of the interface, and it does not work. I'm good at Googling, and I couldn't find anything. Any ideas?
Thank you

Nope! I have homework due, so I went on a crazy uninstall spree. I uninstalled Gmote, Spotify, Macrokey Manager (whatever the hell that is) and a Ubuntu Wubi installation. The latter was probably unnecessary - my money is the Gmote or MacroKey Manager.
Whatever it is, it works now. Didn't even have to restart Photoshop.

Double click on the ios10 lock screen does not display Apple pay even if it is enabled in the settings.
Hello JPMain,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I understand Apple pay is not an option when the double click the Home button. I know access pay Apple for a locked screen can do so useful everyday. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.
I recommend first restart your iPhone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below if necessary.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
- Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
- Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
If the problem persists, the next option would be to reset all settings. It takes all the defaults, including passwords and Wi - Fi networks, alerts, notifications, brightness, wallpaper and sounds. This will also remove your cards Pay of Apple. Even if no content is lost with this step, it is always a good idea to back up first. If you do not have a recent backup, use the following link for assistance if necessary.
The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Once you have correctly saved, reset all settings in settings > general > reset > reset all settings.
Have a great day!

To start thunderbird, I click on the quick start on my toolbar icon, it highlights that if beginner, then a few seconds later, returns to the closed state. No e-mail window never appears on the screen. When I check the Task Manager, thunderbird does not appear in the list of running applications, but one or two processes show running on the Details tab (one first process by clicking on the icon, and then another if I right click and try to open one of the windows in option). I am running Windows 8.1. It worked well earlier in the day, so I have no idea what happened past. Restart the PC does not help the issue. How can I get the windows thunderbird appears on the screen again? If I can't, please send the instructions to backup all the associated email and address profile information so I did not lose anything... then uninstall and reinstall thunderbird and restore all the info related to my current profile. Thank you.
Thanks for the reply... still not sure what happened, but I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling bird t. Everything is back to normal after that. So your solution can work, but I don't have the chance to try it. My solution, but is not ideal, was effective and the problem was solved.
