  • Firefox hijacked by 'mydomainadvisor '.

    Somehow, Firefox browser seems to have been hijacked by so-called "mydomainadvisor". When I type a URL in Firefox, I get redirected to a "file not found" page with a different address. Tried to delete browsing history, temporary internet files and any file containing that Word, but no change. Searched for all files with the same name on my computer and even made restore sys, but its still there. AVG etc does not. Any suggestions?

  • Firefox hijacked on various websites (for most games facebook and such but others too) at random times.

    I'll be on a site and suddenly it will redirect to another site. This can happen at any time, sometimes as soon as a window, sometimes the window can be opened for a period of time before it happened or may not happen at all. It doesn't have any link to this site I am on (the same site can immediately redirect once and not an hour of the next). I can always use the back browser button to return to the original site. About 75% of the time in this case, I find myself on a login page Facebook and when I come back I see the original redirect went to some Facebook game/meetings/or some of these sites, none of which I have never used. I do not have Facebook but I do nothing on it except go to my wall to see photos and messages from my family (5 ' friends'). I've never even posted a comment. The other 20% of the time, he goes to various sites like surveys, supports your vet.org, or those with letters and numbers just randomly.
    Regarding the question "It happened" that follows I often 3-5 windows open at a time and it will happen 20 or 30 times less than an hour 4 window.
    I tried Internet Explorer and Google Chrome since it started, and this has not affected one of them. I even tried to run each at the same time as Firefox and they are kept, while Firefox pages were diverted.

    Hi mha007, I ran Firefox 2 days in mode 'safe' with no redirects, then 2 days normal running with no redirects, so the problem seems to be resolved. I ran RogueKiller so I guess he must have eliminated some maleware was the origin of the problem. Thank you for your help.

  • Need Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I ref A and string; then when I get to Bing, no bookmarks toolbar, etc. or way to access messages.

    I did my browser Bing and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message: Ref, then a long string of characters. I click on the Home icon and string changes. After doing this several times, I get the Bing search page. I don't get the startup of Firefox bookmark with the toolbar that has my book, history etc.. I can't clear the cache, if I can't the history tab. If I'm going to the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there are a tool bar but can't erase recent history, etc. it. I don't have an administrator and a password on my home desktop. It's just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I don't really know if it is a firefox problem or bing. I've used google before bing and had no problems; I just wanted to try bing.

  • Firefox uses the page host internet explorer after restarting the PC, even if I change again, it passes every time

    I use a laptop for my work. I have internet explore what is necessary for our things work related and internet intranet explore uses the intranet homepage of our work. I also use firefox and want to use a different home page (IE Bing, google, whatever...). So things work related I use IE, for web browsing of non-working, I use firefox. Recently whenever I reboot my PC and launch firefox, firefox uses my Explorer (working on the intranet) home page internet. I then easily reset on my preference (bing.com) and as long as the PC is on, if I close and Open firefox it keeps bing.com as my home page. I could do this 20 x and it will keep the bing.com homepage. However when I shut down and restart the PC, firefox goes back to the use of the IE homepage (on the intranet of the work). Is there a permanent way to fix this. Our IT Department has been no help. Started a week before what is happening they upgraded our computers to internet explore 11. I tried to reset Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

    Hi hunted, something is change or replace your prefs.js file.

    Maybe you can thwart it by creating a user.js file. This file is read at startup of Firefox and replace prefs.js. Basically, it only needs a single line, if you could open prefs.js in a text editor after you have corrected to the homepage preference, use Save as to create user.js and then remove all the lines and save/close.

    More information on user.js: http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file

  • Bing has replaced my homepage

    I installed a free software from CNET (security?) called 'Free MP4 TO WMV Converter'. After installing the package Firefox opens with BING ignoring my preferences of two home page.

    Looks like you have a third-party program that has been on your search engine, home page, or the value default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be solved easily:

    1. Click the menu button

      and choose Add-ons.

    2. In the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel.
    3. Select the toolbar you want to delete.
    4. Click on the button Delete.
    5. Click "Restart now" if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

    After restarting Firefox, install the Reset search tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program to your Firefox.

    For more information, please read delete a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the home page search.

  • I can't change the same Bing search bar after the removal of Bing!

    I would like to change the default Google search engine. I put Google on the top of the search engine list, but every time I close FireFox and reopen Bing is located in the search bar! I even deleted Bing in the list of search engine to manage, and even after closing and re-opening FireFox sits is Bing. Very frustrating! I love the browser but I'll change if I can't get this straightened out. I completed all the steps to make Google default, but somehow Bing is always in the search bar when you restart FireFox.
    Help, please

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

    Do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program before (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Remove the Firefox program before installation newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.
