everytime I go on a website (e.g. craigslist) additional tabs appear frequently on the top and I see signs of "redirect";
I've seen signs that it is redirect and opening sites with firefox as "horoscope" or Games logo
Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc.
Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.).
also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

The star I would generally double click to add a bookmark is already there, with some bad title that has nothing to do with the title of the website in the top right. It is also in various folders that I have.
Only way to fix each one is to delete title listed and type in correct title of page and select folder I want. Before recent auto update to version 24.0 my bookmarks worked like usually do-supposed to-no auto bookmark until I tell it I want to make it a bookmark.

When I go to connect to Craigslist I get: Safari can't verify the identity of the website "(account of craigslist)!
I tried through my google Crome, he says this: your connection is not private! The attackers may be trying to steal info...
He seemed to on other sites.
I've tried clearing cookies, then restarting.
He did this because my OS is outdated? My computer tells me that I'm up-to-date on my current operating system.
a few things that seem strange for me:
I also had the 403 forbidden message a few weeks back.
The bash terminal had a couple times on my slider too; Seemed to do on its own.
Thanks in advance for any help!
My Macbook Pro: Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 4 GB, macbook pro5, 5
The problem is due to your Mac running such a 10.6 archaic system, but you can try to use another browser like Firefox.
Apple has not updated for security for 10.6 Snow Leopard over the years.
The minimum requirement for Firefox is v10.6.
You can see if your Mac can run the new OS X v10.11 El Capitan > update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
In this way, you can have the latest version of Safari 9.1 installed so that you can access sites such as Craigslist
Google Chrome works only on Mac running v10.9 Mavericks or subsequently > https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html

Java has been blocked because of the threat, I did the update, and other options to reactivate it ie.manual update reinstalls still websites like YouTube always used to load up. Works great in Chrome & IE!
Your list of plugins in "Details of the system more" Watch 1.6.0_31 of next generation Java plug-in for browsers Mozilla for Java should not be blocked.
Could you post a link to a Web page where Java does not work for you? YouTube uses the Flash, not Java. Here is a list of the test pages of Java that you can try to verify that Java works, of http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Testing_Java
- Test of your Machine (JVM) Java virtual on java.com.
- Java information - BrowserSpy.dk
- Tester of Java - test to javatester.org pages will tell you if your web browser is enabled for Java and, if necessary, the Java version.
- Java Plugin detector
Moreover, I see in your list of plugins you also the VLC media player Plugin Web 2.0.0 so, it is possible that the VLC plugin is causing a conflict if YouTube or other videos do not work. See Fix common audio and graphics problems (you may have to disable the VLC Media Player plugin in the Add-ons-> list of Plugins for some media to play).

Entering a URL in the address bar and pressing on enter does nothing. Or the 'enter' key or 'address arrow bar', to go to the site function. Web site does not load and no error message appears. 'Enter' key works very well in the FF and IE search box, is not my keyboard.
Tried most of the recommended fixes under the "Error loading websites" article with the exception of "DNS refetching", as typing "about:config" in the location bar does no good as the "enter button" won't function. I've removed and re-added FF back into the windows firewall, removed ZoneAlarm from my system, edited proxy settings, deleted and reinstalled FF several times. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a die hard FF fan and this is KILLING me. Please HELP!!!
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

For two days, every time I was doing a search on google, I get a list of appropriate Web site options or possible but when I select one of them, it takes me to a website totally irrelevant. When I can use the button/arrow to the left and select the same Web site from the list, need me to correct Web site. This will not occur in Internet Explorer. for example today I searched powertools, selected www.dm- tools,co.uk and had Nettravel. I came to this site a few times too although I didn't choose it. When I googled sought "potatoes" and selected the "Council of the potato" he directed me to the Web of Lakeland site on their page of bag of potatoes.

If you are unsure how this kind of content you obtain on your computer, it is better to assume that it is completely and carefully contaminated with unwanted software, viruses, spyware, or other such unpleasant things. Check with your laptop manufacturer to see how to do a factory restore to destroy the computer and restore it if you "new factory". Make sure that you back up files like photos, music, documents and other first because they will be gone once the system is cleaned and restored.
Once he has restored put on user accounts and to limit access to people only trust you.
