Hello kayjay76, this looks like a problem caused by some sort of 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 the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a creative cloud subscription, and I want to disable a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there will be an option to disable all devices somewhere in my account, but I can't.

    This isn't what Mary said.  You get 2 facilities by title.  You should have disabled software on your old machine first, but since you have now 2 methods to disable older facilities.

    My first recommendation was to contact support with your product purchase information and disable them.

    Mary offered another option which is to go ahead and install the software on your new hard drive.   If an error saying: you have exceeded the limit of 2 machine, press the button continue to disable older facilities.  You will then be able to install on you're your new hard drive plus one more.

    Make sense?

  • How can I disable the double click to a new tab in Firefox?

    I just installed the latest version of Firefox, and now I'm faced with a new problem. When I try to open a new tab I click twice on the top bar, and it's annoying me. I used to open a new tab by clicking on an icon next to any tab and now this icon is moved to the top right corner, and it seems there is no way to open a new tab except by double clicking on the top!
    How can I find this icon instead of previous to open a new tab just with a single click.
    Thank you

  • How can I disable the blue spikes that appear every time I run Adobe Reader?

    Whenever I run Adobe Reader XI, or whenever I double-click a PDF file from another program, a blue bubble appears in the 'Open' part of the toolbar that says easy 'open all your files with devices' and I can't get him to stop.

    I have:

    -Unchecked "Show me messages when I launch the Reader app" in preferences/general/Messages form Adobe
    -Checked "don't show messages while reviewing a document" in preferences/general/Messages form Adobe

    How can I make this stop display?

    Thank you.

    It was strange.  To be honest, I had never clicked the large folder icon 'open' on the left side of the toolbar.  Once I did, he showed me three options: recent files, desktop and files in Acrobat.com (cloud storage).

    After actually looking at this feature and then opening and closing Acrobat Reader again, the blue popup no longer appears.  I closed and open Acrobat Reader several times and apparently no more.  Apparently, he's a guest to watch the feature you and invite you to until you do.  I don't know why it does not appear on your screen.  Maybe a feature that is available only to the 'new' versions of Windows (7 +)?

    I appreciate your help.  Thank you.

  • HP Envy 17 t: How can I disable the Touchpad on my laptop new HP Envy with Windows 7 Pro?

    I just got my new PC and have problems with the touchpad.  My old PC has allowed me to disable the touchpad by double-clicking it in the upper left corner.  The news is not that.  I tried to find a setting in Control Panel - devices and printers - mouse, but there isn't a way to disable.  Help!

    Hello

    You see Synaptics tab? In the affirmative, please use this tab to disable the touchpad, if no, you must use the tab settings of the HP control area (for the newer machines). And in both cases, check the box "turn off internal...." 'and 'Apply'.

    Kind regards.

  • How can I remove the black lines that prints when I use my ADF?

    When I use my ADF my copies have 2 black lines going down the middle.  How can I remove them?

    OK, the 8600 Officejet Pro has two pieces of glass used for copying, the glass of the main copy, and a thin (~ 1 "wide) section of glass on the left side.  If there are black lines vertical on copies or analyses both flat glass and ADF, and then the question would be caused by a defect in the sensor scanning.  The most likely hypothesis is that copies of the scanner glass flat are OK but there is a vertical line on the pages sent through the ADF.  This is caused by a small spot, perhaps as small dust on the cutting Strip.  Holding a strong flashlight on the front of the unit to the position just above the t in the logo HP Officejet Pro on the front will highlight the region.

  • How can I get the black line that perfectly align than the bars on the chronology of return?

    As small black line that goes to the bottom of the screen when I put two bars/clips side by side without overlapping one another.

    For the last two days, my Adobe first CC did not do that and I try to guess it. This has caused some clips to overlap. This slows down my editing because I have to make sure that the place is perfect, and sometimes very difficult to do manually.

    Could someone help me with this please?

    Thank you.

    you have disabled snap? This is the icon of the magnet on the editing toolbar.

  • How can I disable the bottom panel that displays the bookmarks and history?

    I do not know there is an obvious answer to this question that I simply do not see!

    A new "Panel" magically appeared in to the bottom of my browser (full-width). It contains the history and bookmarks. I can't understand how to remove the lower panel. I don't see anything in the settings which fixed this; and "restore defaults" does not remove it. The only thing I can do is to slide the top panel down to reduce to the minimum-, but it reappears every time a new browser window opens.

    This becomes a real problem trying to use FIrebug or Web Developer, because they compete for the same real estate. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you!

    Hi mapenn2, what you showed on your screenshot is not something that would be applied to the default version of the browser. You can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, perhaps an addon intrudes here...
