How to get rid of a search not intentionally installed "tab" to update the new version of Java JRE?

Since Oracle surprisingly quickly announced an update of Java JRE (7.11 update), Jan 14, available todag I install naturally. Despite being very careful with all unwanted program providers are trying to impose on the innocent user, I always have a f * ck * thing-same to tab search ng in my line of tabs. I don't want or need, and it occupies valuable space. The evil rats who created this stinky sh * t were very careful hide all the simple ways of removing - it is not (as far as I can see) are everywhere in my lists of Add-ons or extensions. I tried to watch: config, but I am totally inexperianced with this and do not dare to change: in fact, I can't find anything usable.

Anyone who has a suggestion how to get rid of that junk qualified? My FF is the Swedish version, that's why I stuck with raw data in the troubleshooting information. If there is a possibility here to add a screenshot of the thing, I would have.

The tab looks like the image below? If so, did you not as a Java Update. Have you downloaded the update of Java on the Java site or elsewhere? It was expected that some less honest people would provide false updates to Java. If it looks like the image below, follow these steps:

  1. With all browsers closed, in Control Panel > programs and features (or add / remove programs), if you see "Default tab" delete (you have no default tab 1.4.3 in the list of add-ons/prefs you have submitted with your question)
  2. Launch Firefox and check that 'Default tab' is not in the Add-ons > Extensions; If it is click on 'Remove' and then restart Firefox.
  3. You may need to set your homepage in Firefox, if a search page leading to 'Search results' or "My search results" is displayed at the start of Firefox - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
  4. You may need to remove the 'search results' or "My search results" in your list of installed search engines in the top search bar on the right (click on the image to the left of the search bar, then choose "Manage search engines") - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-easily-choose-your-search-engine#w_removing-a-search-engine
  5. You may need to reset your default search engine used for looking for location/URL bar by resetting the preference keyword. URL - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service
  6. You may need to reset a preference if 'Search results' or "My search results" appears as a search engine every time you open a new tab (follow steps 1 to 4 in the image below to determine which opens when you click to open a new tab; see Subject: config use above)- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off

  • How the * can I get rid of Yahoo search - Firefox still refuses my changes at the next startup.

    Work in Win10.
    Firefox refuses to keep the changes I made to remove Yahoo.
    Remove all browsers except Google - next time you start it again Yahoo!
    No other browser has been replaced, with the exception of Yahoo.

    It's very 'big brother', which I don't expect Firefox.

    After spending hours fighting it, I'm at the "tip" of let - pun.

    It seems you might have a bit of malicious software on this PC. I see an extension named Hub of results which is known as bearer of Malware.
    Why don't you see if removing "garbage" that gets rid of your problem with Yahoo search 'come back' at the next startup, which is a symptom of Malware.
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-see-results-hub-removal/

    When finished remove that, please install this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ - as a final step to get some reset preferences to default values. Note - that extension will run during installation and then disappear.

  • iPhone 7 will not connect to iTunes - request for the new version, but everything is up-to-date

    My new phone will not connect to iTunes on my computer windows laptop. It is said that it requires a newer version of iTunes but the latest version is all ready to date

    Is your "new version" iTunes 12.5.1.21? If this is not the case, your 'windows' laptop running Windows XP or Vista?

  • Sync does not work to pair devices in the new version.

    This feature has been removed in version 29. When he return to Firefox? This is a very important feature for me. Thank you.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Your bookmarks can be saved using the library (Ctrl + Shift + B)-> import and backup-> Backup. They can then be imported into your new installation of Firefox by going to the library again (Ctrl + Shift + B)-> import and backup-> restore-> choose a file.

    Remember that when you perform an upgrade to the newest version of Firefox, you won't have to save your bookmarks, because they will be automatically imported into Firefox 29. That's why we create backups of your bookmarks, just in case the installation will not.

    Regarding your open tabs, you must save the file sessionrestore.js in your profile folder before moving to Firefox and then return the sessionrestore.js file in the profile folder before you open Firefox.

  • How to get rid of LexBce Server print spooler Dependencies tab

    I uninstalled the old Lemark printer using uninstaller for it, however, I now have an error 1068: the dependency service or group could not start when I try to install a new printer. When I ran services.msc and went to the print spooler element, I noticed that the service has appeared as "automatic". While they inspected again under

    the Dependencies tab, the following is still listed: LexBce Server. I do not know which refers to Lexmark how do I remove it? And then what to do next?

    Get to a prompt command as follows:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    Run this command to see the current Spooler Service dependencies:

    sc qc spooler

    You can't really 'delete' the dependence of Lexmark, so tell you just the Spooler Service depend on that remote procedure call (RPC) service (this is the default value).

    To do this, enter the following command:

    the sc config spooler depend = rpcss

    Be sure to include the space after the "equal" sign, or the command does not work.

    Query the spooler to be sure Service again it works then:

    sc qc spooler
