How can I re - install firefox without losing my data. It is infested bame ad.

Firefox is infested with "ads name.

How can I get rid of it or how can I
Re-install firefox without losing any data?

There is a rash that goes around, and the solution is not yet clear 100%. I suggest try reinstalling this way:

Clean reinstall it

We use this name, but it is not about the deletion of your settings, it comes to ensure that program files are-own and contain no alien code files. As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 37.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

(2) close Firefox (if applicable).

(3) to rename the program folder

(Windows 32-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files\OldFirefox

(Windows 64-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

Any improvement?

Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Can I cancel 1 RAID without losing the data on a6560t?

    I have a Pavilion a6560T desktop, and after update BIOS, I accidentally started a RAID1 configuration. There is no way to stop it, so I have now 2 drives mirrored. I pulled the second disc to see if it would give me the opportunity to decouple the disks, but no go. I now only have the original installed drive (320GB), but need the storage on the second disk (1 TB). (I tried to see if I could mirror the 1 TB with a 1 TB external USB. Now, I know that I can't because it's not SATA.

    Can I go in the configuration screens during startup and implement non-RAID without losing any DATA?

    Thank you!

    In fact, I entered the configuration, press http://www.ITIS.gov/servlet/singlerpt/singlerpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=163342 I and choose Reset no RAID. The computer has restarted and then without loss of data. Just something for everyone.

  • How can I re - install vista without the disc, because I only have the key encoded on the computer.

    How can I reinstall vista without the disc and remove windows 7 (an illegal version) also without the disc. I have only the original vista coded key stuck on the computer when the vista system installed on the purchase of the computer. My daughter was not happy with vista and had someone to install windows 7, which turned out to be an illegal version.

    Hello

    If you have a recovery partition likely has been cleared by installing Windows 7.

    You can try the recovery partition, no guarantees.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    You may have found yourself on the fence about installing Windows 8, you're not sure if you like it on this system including, or not, but don't want to not lose the files you had before installing Windows 8 or must go through another reinstall process to go back to Windows 7.

    Well, there is another way that is often forgotten.  Windows 7 has the ability to make a hard disk image.  It's basically a clone of the drive because it is when the image is made and it is stored on a set of DVDs or an external hard disk (user's choice).

    Of course, this must be done before installing Windows 8.

    1. first of all, do a repair of Windows 7 as function of this guidedisc.   This

    2. create a system image according to this guide.

    3. If you do not like how Windows 8 running on the system, you can restore the image of the system already manufactured by following this guide.  The image of the system should recover the system to exactly how it was when the image was made.

    It's just a way to test the system changes, such as a different operating system and have a way to go back.

  • Tried all your suggestions, but still cannot fix the runtime error. How can I reinstall Windows 7 without losing everything?

    I tried a soft boot, it does not solve the problem.  I deleted all the redistributable files from Microsoft, and then restarted, I still have the same error message, even if I had deleted the files.  I reinstalled the updated files, the problem persists.  I'm frustrated and tired of this and now just want to know how to reinstall Windows 7 Premium Edition while preserving my other programs and files.

    If you reinstall, you will need to backup your data, do the reinstall, and then reinstall your programs.  And before that, you will need to have all the drivers from the manufacturer of your computer.  If you can restore to the factory settings, which may save you the hassle of dealing with drivers.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.
