How can I remove the pop ups that keep appearing on different sites?
For the last week or so when you go to a multitude of sites, I get unwanted ads of all kinds. They include windows pop up when you go to a site, open a new tab by clicking somewhere on a web page and the links blue underlined appearing on words randomly. How can I get rid of this, because it is annoying and seems to slow Firefox?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

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 remove the button STROKE but keep the other?
I'm outlining a skyline of the city. I'll do it in pieces, and then select the pathfinder and create a solid form. I want to have a white line on all lines except the lower part. How do I eliminate the background race and keep the other?
Thank you.
You need hide the entire shape. Simply place a rectangle above the form, which cuts above the bottom and with the form and the rectangle selected, choose ' object > clipping mask > make.
This assumes that the bottom is a straight line. If this is not the case, the mask rectangle may need to be changed.

How can I remove the hover bubble that appears on the tabs
Using CS5, whan I have several open images, it will open in tabs that I like. However, when I put my cursor on a tab, a bubble will appear that says exactly the same thin for this tab. However, with the bubble it I can't click the tab below to select or remove it.
It's actually a huge problem when I do camtasia videos where I want to swith bettween tabs during a voice unit because I can't select different tabs smoothly.
How can I do if nothing shows up when I put my cursor on a tab (I want to continue to use good tabs. This feature is great)
