How do I get this to stop: 'Yahoo is the favorite for Firefox search engine. Switch now. »

The above message whenever I go to my Yahoo mail. I really don't like Yahoo search. How can I get this message to stop popping up? Since then it has begun to appear Yahoo mail is glitchy and slow (only on 2 computers with Firefox). I want to keep Firefox, but if it is not repairable.

I wonder if you have Yahoo or some other add-on toolbar that makes the promotion of Yahoo search. I ask because even when I open Yahoo in a private window to circumvent any existing cookies, I don't see this message. (But I am certainly block some ad servers used by Yahoo).

Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

and OK reboot.

Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

Any difference?

    Okay, I think that I fixed it.  I went in the Sys Config, Start Up and unchecked "common SDK-Sonic Solutions/Roxio."  Also not controlled all the other stuff video I don't need at start-up. I then restarted it, of course.  It has been a few hours now and no window flashing.  Roxio is a nice program, but has been a problem on my computer. By auto-off starting this program, it seems to have solved the problem.

    When I start Firefox, just my use of the homepage (my g-mail) to open. All of a sudden, my homepage and some free computer game page opens. How can I get this other page to open no more?

    Thank you!

    Do you have the same two tabs when you launch a new window (Ctrl + n) or only at startup?

    You can check your extensions in case something snuck in. You can view and clear the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, 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.

  • I just bought a MAC pro. I signed in but none of my apps to my other apple devices are in section purchased from iTunes. How can I get this new macbook to access the apps I bought before I bought the macbook?

    I just bought a macbook pro. I failed to access applications that have been purchased before buying the macbook. I use the same apple ID. How do you get apps already purchased?

    Hi SupaDupaTrini,

    If you don't see the applications you have previously bought for download, I would first examine the history of your purchases using iTunes on your MacBook Pro software:

    See your purchase history in iTunes on Mac or PC store
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204088

    If you do not see your purchase, it can be hidden. Learn how do to hide or show items in your purchase history.

    If you can't find an item that you purchased from the iTunes Store in the last 90 days, report a problem. For older purchases, contact the iTunes Store supportand some purchases, billing and redemption.

    Download your latest purchases
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201272

    Before you can access a purchase, you must do the following:

    1. To log in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Use the following steps to see what Apple ID allowing you to download something.
    2. Check if the purchases you are looking for are hidden. If your purchases are hidden, you can see them not even after following the steps below. Learn how to view purchases.
    3. See if content is available for the redownload. Previously purchased may not be items not available if they are no longer on the iTunes Store. Also, make sure that you are in a country whereyou can redownload points. If you have changed your Apple ID from one country to the other, you cannot download items you purchased in a previous country.

  • Windows Installer is trying to install callery photo 3 times every time I turn on my PC. How can I get this to stop?

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    ·        Photo Gallery is installed on the system?

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you stop photo library to be installed on the system.

    To stop it trying to install:

    a. to start the configuration system (msconfig) utility:

    b. Click Start and type msconfig in the box start the search.

    (c) in section programs, click Msconfig.exe.

    On the Startup tab, you will find photo gallery that keeps trying to start and uncheck the box next to it. It comes out the startup so it will run each time Windows starts.

    Method 2:

    Maybe it's that the application is not correctly installed on the system and this is the reason why you get the message when the system boots. I suggest you to check if the photo gallery is installed on the system, if it is not installed on the system, then, I suggest to install on the system and check if the problem is resolved.

  • Firefox recently started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

    When I use Google and I click on a search result, it opens a new tab, where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using, I searched on the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose to open in a new window, but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. It started to arrive from nowhere.

    Found a setting in Google that said to open all the result in a new window that I guessed that Firefox has been the substitution and open it in a new tab as suggested settings unchecked the box in Google and now the behaviour is back to normal.

    Hi Demberg, regarding your problem of message on the home page of firefox, I think that not fair to say that you can't remove it. Indeed, it is a message to get involved.

    Photo Collage Toolkit

    Scripts for Photoshop is powerful and I think that this package demonstrates this a video showing a collage of 5 model PSD image fills with images:

    The package includes four simple rules to follow to make Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.

    1. Models of photo collage for the desired print size - width and height of the size and DPI print resolution.
    2. Photo collage templates must have a background layer in Photoshop. The content of this layer can be anything.
    3. Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Picture 1", "Picture 2"... "Picture n".
    4. Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to reveal the images which will be placed below them.

    There are twelve scripts in this package, they provide the following functions:

    1. TestCollageTemplate.jsx - used to test a model of Collage of Photo while you're doing it with Photoshop.
    2. CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - can build models that are compatible with this toolkit scripts.
    3. LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - used to convert a stack of the Prototype Image layers in a document template.
    4. InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - used to fill interactively model Any Photo Collage. Offers more user control insert images and text.
    5. ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - allows to replace an object layer dynamic image collage populated with another image resized and positioned correctly.
    6. ChangeTextSize.jsx - this script can be used to change the size of text Image stamps when the size used by the filling did not work well.
    7. PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - used to fill a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy automatically opened in Photoshop.
    8. BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - used for the models automatically batch fill Collage that have only a single image inserted. The Collage or picture may be stamped with the text.
    9. BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - used to model automatically batch fill any Photo Collage with images in an image source folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Recorded collages can be twisted.
    10. BatchPicturePackage.jsx - used to model automatically batch fill any Photo Collage with an image in the image source folder
    11. PasteImageRoll.jsx - paste Images into a document to print on roll paper.
    12. PCTpreferences.jsx - edit this file to customize Collage fill preset scripts and add your own layer styles.

  • How can I get this type of substance

    Hello

    I downloaded some brushes here: http://differentxdreamz.deviantart.com/art/abstract-design-brushes-119627540 .

    I just want to make the same background with the brushes, but I could. I did a lot of gradient colors, but this isn't like this image.

    Some of the descriptions of the different steps would be very useful for me.

    Also, how can I get this mix of colors in the background of this photo: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic.mhtml?id=56261755

    Thank you

    Hello

    To get blurred colors, you can use a technique of bluring. Start with large patches of color paint on your image.

    Go to filter > blur > Gaussian Blur:

    Then, change the intensity of the blur to your taste

    With respect to the other image, which seems a bit more complicated and requires a few steps more.

    Here's the tutorial for this image:
