Firefox continues to try to replace by Ask as my search engine. I want to use Google, but FF keeps changing it back to Ask, even when I remove Ask in the function "manage search engine."

See the question. That's all what it!

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

Uninstall ask
Several free programs will install Ask 'Special Edition '. Foxit Reader, you have installed, is one of these. You must not choose on these items or to download the free program or during the installation of the free program. Foxit Reader, the opt-out is during the installation of Foxit Reader. See the image attached to the opt-out Foxit Reader.

First try to disable or uninstall the Ask.com toolbar in Firefox via "tools-> Add-ons-> Extensions". See: disable or remove modules.

In some cases, you may need to uninstall the Ask toolbar, using the Windows Control Panel. See cannot uninstall an add-on - uninstall of Windows Add/Remove Programs.

You may also need to reset preferences related to Ask.com via subject: config, specifically the key word. URL preference-
-Open a new tab or window.
-Type Subject: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
-If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)
-Filter = keyword.url
-Right-click on the preference under the filter and click Reset
-Restart Firefox (file > restart Firefox)

    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.

  • Why my laptop did start asking for the application manager?

    I had an old Macbook with CS5 on it for a long time and it worked fine. Then I did a recent migration of a new Macbook Air, and suddenly a few weeks later a sign appears, a box, saying: I need a new version of the application manager.  I have not yet today what it was, if I google it and found and downloaded. Then a sign came up saying that I had CS5 on more than 2 computers. So I chatted with Adobe a few times, lost many hours, they said they reset the license, he never went away. I finally just uninstalled CS5 out of the macbook air, as delete request handler and the macbook air is now just running an old copy of CS3.  Should I try to re - install CS5, it's a kind of worreies me now. Maybe I just have to wait until I get CS7? It's the next Photoshop I will buy. Thank you.

    How many computers have you installed ch to?

    How many computers have active PS?

    Before that you migrated to the new laptop, did first disable this copy of the PS?

    If disabled, then uninstall Adobe Creative cleaner a few times, rebooting between each and then a relocation and reactivation does not work, I call customer support Adobe (not Technical Support) and chat with them. Many users have had better results with a phone call, with Live Chat.

    In addition, Adobe stops many offices, during the holidays, so I don't know how the customer might have, or not have, until after the new year.

    Good luck

  • Windows XP Pro SP3 does not include 1 TB WD internal SATA drive Green even if it is marked in the Device Manager doesn't work properly

    Using motherboard Asus P5N - D, the Sata drive is displayed in the bios.  I use a Maxtor IDE drive as primary and I just wanted to add more disk space.

    Hello

    Try to connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the same problem persists.

    I suggest that you set the drive letter for the external hard drive and check if that helps.

    To assign a drive letter to a drive, a partition, or a volume, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
    2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click performance and Maintenance.

      Note If you do not see the performance and Maintenance, go to step 3. Performance and Maintenance appears in control Panel only if you use category view. If you are using the classic view, performance and Maintenance does not appear.

    3. Click Administrative Tools, double-click computer management, and then click disk management in the left pane.
    4. Right click on the drive, the partition, the logical drive or volume that you want to assign a drive letter to and then click change drive letter and paths.
    5. Click on Add.
    6. Click assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, and then accept the default drive letter or click the drive letter that you want to use.
    7. Click OK.

  • I get the U43M1D207 error message when trying to download update the extensions Manager

    Hello world

    I have a second cam from Nikon, the D7200. I also use the D800. I mainly edit my photos with RAW file.

    I tried today to open a RAW in PS and received the message that he does not recognize this format. I did an update on raw, but still it does not work. When I try to update the extensions Manager, I get this message: U43M1D207. What is the problem, how can I solve this problem. It would be terrible if I can't use the RAW data within the new cams.

  • Button changes style when it is connected to the application manager

    I connected the standard axButtons for the application handler in a custom IOS built in CSharp using Visual Studio 2008.  When I run the OI, the buttons change to standard style (edges rounded, etc.) what looks like a classic style (square edges, no color gradient, etc.).  At first I thought this might be a limitation of CSharp, but when I ran the CSharp UI executable (comes with Teststand), the buttons seem correct.  Is there a reference that I haven't added or something?  I followed (copied about) the code found in the CSharp UI complete, leaving aside the functions that I didn't need.

    This is the only true code on both buttons.  It's pretty simple, so I imagined what a project property that I have install incorrectly.  I have also included the namespaces I've included.

    Thanks for any help

    No problem. I've attached a zip file that contains the recommended manifest file and the updated project file that references. I didn't create the manifest file, place the file in the directory of the project file, add the manifest file to the project, select the file in the control of the ring on the settings tab application to embed the manifest, rebuild the project and run.

  • No option to install/remove/update CS6 the Application Manager applications.

    I have a registered copy of CS6 Master Collection installed on my MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 running.  The Application Manager shows the options for apps except CC and CC 2014 apps.  This is how it is supposed to be?  My reason to inquire about this is because I'm having issues installing apps CC 2014 and it was suggested by support uninstall CS6 apps, install apps from CC 2014, and then reinstall the CS6 apps in the Application Manager.  For the moment, I'm not convinced that it is a safe gesture given installation problems I encountered so far.  I need my CS6 apps for school work (especially yet).

    Problem solved thanks to Adobe support staff.  I gave control of my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite Adobe, tight teeth and allowed them to remove all the Adobe products out of my laptop.  We have been able to download and install CC (2014) and produced CS6 after with no hang ups.  I did not lose all the work and we smooth sailing since.  Thanks for all the help.

  • Why Firefox continue to try to be better when I'm updating?

    I have (Firefox automatically) upgraded to the version: Firefox/3.6.13 about 10 days ago, but the FF continues automatically periodically (every two days?) Download the same update and install it, over and over again. He did about 3 or 4 times now. I use FF (or Mozilla) for about 10 years, and I've never seen that happen before. What is going on?
