Firefox has just begun opeing ads every time I click on the link - use of high disk also reported by Norton
This morning, I started having a problem with Firefox. I was browsing www.nbcnews.com and when I clicked on a link, a new tab opens with an ad in it. Now, this happens whenever I click on a link. The new tab opens first and normally, he's trying to tell me that there is something or another that must be updated, such as Flash. In addition, Norton reported the use of the disc by Firefox. After that happened, I immediately stopped and am now using Windows Explorer. I don't know what happened, but I'm not happy. I prefer Firefox, but if I can't find out how to get rid of all that was installed without my knowledge, I do not use Firefox more. Have you seen this? Do you know how I can fix this problem? I have watched my modules and I saw that I do not recognize and I removed it. The problem persists. I can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but the parameters normally do not disappear. Is it possible that I can completely uninstall and start again? Hope you can help.
Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
- Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
Thank you.

touchevent is getrated every time I click on the screen of the blackberry java
Hello friends,
I am from the substitution of toucheven like this:
Ematics bitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource ("onlbswth. PNG');
Break of bitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource ("offldswtch. PNG');
BitmapField switchOffField = BitmapField (switchOff) new
{
protected boolean touchEvent (TouchEvent message)
{/ / TODO self-generated method stub}
If (TouchEvent.GESTURE == message.getEvent ())
{if(flag==0)
{flag = 1;
switchOffField.setBitmap (switchOn);
} else
{
flag = 0;
switchOffField.setBitmap (switchOff);
}
}
Returns true;
}
};
Once I click on bitmapfield, the event is genrated... next time whenever I click on screen event is again genrated...
is there anything to add to this
Here's some code I've used processes click on events. It will be useful.
protected boolean touchEvent (TouchEvent message) {}
int x = message.getX (1);
int y = message.getY (1);
If (x < 0="" ||="" y=""> < 0="" ||="" x=""> getExtent () .width: y > getExtent () .height) {}
Outside the scope
Returns false;
}
Switch (message.getEvent ()) {}
case TouchEvent.CLICK:
button click (0);
Returns true;
}
Return super.touchEvent (message);

The new tab is created but there is no information in there - it's empty. This becomes quite annoying if you are in an internet session extended. any ideas how to fix?
Try -> to tools: Internet Options, and then click parameters next of tabs. At the bottom of the settings screen, you should see "restore to default". Click that, and then restart Internet Explorer.

I used FF for 3 years, just upgraded to FF7 - but when I go to browser FF, I get a screen that says I'm on Firefox update/releases page and nothing happens, I can not load any website or search - basically it just freezes.
I use a Macbook
Thank youOne possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed. The plug in page shows the plug ins I installed. How can I fix it? This happened on my 64 bit Windows 7 partition. I installed the extension "classic add-on" to see if she could solve the problem. There is unfortunately no. I have a screenshot. I'm not sure if I have permission to upload it to the media gallery. I also use Linux, but I did not upgrade that are still there.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.

Firefox ask you useless master password every time you start
When he started, Firefox asks unnecessarily my master password every time. My homepage (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in SafeMode as well. It's annoying and time consuming. I X-out the main 10 seconds password request window after I start Firefox. Why would he do that? ... Firefox not used to do this.
You use Sync?
The synchronization used in Firefox 34 version then use password manager to store the name (e-mail) and password to use to connect to the synchronization server.
Earlier versions of Firefox used to store these data in the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder, but the current version only stores the sessionToken in this folder and need the password for the password manager.
