How can I get rid of open software update
This opens up hundreds of times a day. It appears only on Firefox and not Chrome. It is not listed in my programs, so I can't uninstall it. I'm not opening it, because I don't know if it has spyware and my Firefox is updated. I'm only using Chrome until I can get a fix for this.
Hello, you might present malicious addons. Please perform these steps:
- Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- then go to the firefox menu
> addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?
How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?
Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.9.5.
On 3 June 2016, I received a notice to update software for my Brother printer. Driver version 4.0. I don't remember if I downloaded it in fact. Then I went on the site of brother and checked for the last update which proved be driver version 4.5. I have successfully downloaded that. On 10 June, I received a software update for the old driver version 4.0 again. I don't want to install an older driver, but I can't get rid of the nagging update notice. Too late, it got installed when I was composing this message. So, if I reinstall the 4.5 update and I get another message of updated software for the 4.0 update, how do I get rid of him?
When I select the update of the software community, he rises to the Windows software and I can't change it.
I used to get update notifications for flash. I uninstalled it and now they don't bother me. And updates to OS normal mac, can be disabled app store mac settings.
In your case, I can say, try to delete the brother driver and install again, if it you nags once more.

Hello
How can I get rid of the "your free trial period has finished" screen when you try to open a pdf file in Adobe Reader?
I got a trial of Dreamweaver, but it was too complicated for me.
It was not the case for cancell the free track so I let it run its course and expires. He then deleted programs that is very well (I didn't buy), but he has also deleted my Acrobat Reader.
I have re-installed that but when I try to open a pdf file, all I get is the screen "your free trial period is over," which only allows you to buy or out and out all together.
Needless to say that I am very UNIPRESEED with Adobe to spoil my programs and now they want to charge me $ 29 for a problem that they have created.
Can someone help me with this very annoying problem?
Concerning
David
If this is the free software Adobe reader, then it will not be a free trial that are associated with message. Maybe what you have installed is not the drive.

When I start the application Foxfire on my pc it automatically opens an additional tab? How can I get rid of the extra tab. I tried closing and restarting but it's still there? It's more frustrating to a major problem.
Thank youHi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URL separated by a "pipe" (|), so please see - How to set the home pageand in "Home Page", make sure that in addition to the URL of your home page (the Firefox start page is Subject: House but you can have another, or the page new tab, which is on) (: newtab) he has nothing else - if that's the case, just delete it.
If it's easier, you can just click Restore default instead.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

How can I get rid of firefox update firefox 35.0.1 software pop up?
Firefox worked fine for me until recently.
When I started getting the "software update" Pop ups for Firefox 35.0.1.
I DIDN'T WANT TO UPDATE so just clicked the X and thought that it would be mind is no more, but it is CONSTANTLY upward, something that never happened in 7 years of use of firefox.
He also ruined YOUTUBE for me now I hang constant whenever I change one youtube video to another, it crashes and means that I have to close firefox and restart which is a total pain.
I finally gave in and updated Firefox 35 but I always had the problem of the hang that was never there before, so I deleted Firefox 35 and returned to Firefox 34.0.5 although I still hit on Youtube videos.
How can I get rid of the "Firefox pop-up boxes?"
How can I resolve the deadlock on youtube vids?
As I said before that the 'blocking' has started since the time of the pop-up boxes.
Thanks in advance.
He seemed to have solved the problem.
I've just updated my Flash Player to the latest version and Youtube is now working well once again, no more crashes when I go from a Youtube video to the other.
Just to add, the reason for which that I don't update before was like many others I had many problems with Flash in the past has kept the version that worked well for me.
I still feel the arised only problem because of the 35 Firefox constant POP UPS that started this problem in the first place and I'm sure that many others will find the same problem in the next few weeks, so I hope that my solution will be of other assistance also.

How can I get rid two tabs to open when I first open Firefox?
When I first open Firefox I get my home page in a tab, but also another tab opens. This one is set to Facebook. How can I get rid of the opening automatically second tab?
You get two pages if you launch a new window using either:
- CTRL + n
- button '3-bar' menu > new window
If Yes:
Check the settings of your home page to see if you have several home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows you where to check them in the Options dialog box: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings. This article has more background on several tabs home: How to set the home page.
If not, or if the Options dialog box is correct:
Add-ons - can display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, this is the URL to normal Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) or to a different address?
Do you have any extensions related to Facebook? You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Any improvement?

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -
