How to prevent diversion of Firefox virus Omniboxes?

I don't know how, but for some reason any this Omniboxes.com virus hijacked my Firefox and I can't get rid of. What is happening, is it always force Firefox go to Omniboxes.com when I open it up. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen THE FIRST TIME. My homepage is set correctly: I can go to my homepage when I click the button, and it also does it when I open a new window. Right click on Firefox and go to properties has also revealed that the target destination is set correctly.

In addition I have already abolished the malicious program from the software Manager and ran the Malwarebytes program (and quarantined the harmful files). I also checked the Task Manager, but no suspicious programs seem to be running in the background.

Someone knows how to fix this? As said, the weird thing is that it doesn't happen that once started, never after that until I have Firefox open. I have also some modules and extensions running (confirmed safe), so I'm not a fan of Firefox reset.

Well, I had another look at the parameters in the topic: menu config and actually found the line that was hijacking my home page. Must have missed the first time. I changed it and Firefox works correctly now.

Nevertheless, thank you for all the help, the problem is now resolved.

  • How to prevent the creation of 15000 files for 300 MB each day Firefox

    Firefox creates files of 'file' in C:\Users\LeRicain\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dnm04rk5.default\cache2
    There are about 10,000 and 20,000 files I have to remove to get about 300 MB of space each day

    How to prevent the creation of these files in Firefox

    Here are the files from cache. Basically, it takes Web sites that access you a lot and records bits of them so they'll load faster the next time you visit them. FOR EXAMPLE if you visit Google.com much, Firefox will save some elements of this page in the cache so that the next time visit you Google.com, it will not have to re - download.

  • How to stop updates of Firefox

    So we have this system of helpdesk at work called cure (I make no bones about this, it should be called disease at least in the form my company has put into it) but that's what we have, I can't change that. I generally use Chrome to create changes in the remedy, but I need to use Firefox to create work orders because Chrome doesn't handle well in the menus of the repair.

    Now, Firefox, which is my browser of choice in all other circumstances, work well with the remedy (I'm not convinced that anything done) and when it updates, currently at version 39.xx, he continues to work with the cure... something to do with the different-Hellman encryption. I can solve this problem by reinstalling v38.05 but then it puts day and goes pear shaped. So I uninstall and reinstall and it works again... until it updates.

    The solutions I've tried are (each time preceded by a version 39.x uninstall and reinstallation of v38.05):

    1. in the Firefox Options / Advanced assured that "never search for updates (not recommended: security risk)" has been selected.

    2 custom install Firefox v 38.05 with no maintenance service (the above, Options / Advanced settings seem to be maintained throughout the uninstall/reinstall).

    3 custom install Firefox v 38.05 with no service maintenance and that all executables and dll read-only. Once again all of the above is the same.

    4 custom install Firefox v 38.05 without maintenance service, deleted the files maintenanceservice.exe and maintenanceservice_installer.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder and renamed updater.exe updater.old. Go to help / about Firefox and deliberately run an update. This "installed" but, the browser is restarted, brought a dialog box saying there is a problem (I don't remember the message). Allowed the browser to download the new full version, which forced a second reboot and an error dialog box that I then closed.

    5 restart Firefox after you create a file user.js in profile folder that contains:
    turn off the updates of the application:
    user_pref ("app.update.enabled", false);

    6. check about: config is disabled for the automatic update:
    App.Update.auto - false
    App.Update.Enabled - false
    App.Update.Silent - false

    That's all... all this absolutely does not prevent updates of Firefox and, as far as I can tell, I did almost everything it is humanly possible to prevent update Firefox outside ditching it completely (which I certainly don't want to do) but there seems to be no way I can stop the update of Firefox.

    I'm sure it's 'fault' of BMC Remedy, but I can't change what makes the company, I'm just a small cog in a big machine, but I can't (or should be) change things on my own system. I can not just when it comes to Firefox which, in addition to being frustrating, no sense... why the Mozilla team would create a product with options to stop the updates that the application simply ignores?

    Well, hang on, it sounds as if the real problem is that the server tries to use an obsolete encryption encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to the attack of the impasse that was in the news earlier this year.

    What does that mean?

    Even if you trust the server, a "dead end" attack compromised the security of your individual connection on the server, a lowering of the protection normally provided by SSL to a level that is easily cracked and read by others on the network. This is why Firefox protects you to establish this connection.

    What can you do now?

    The best solution is to update the server. Please ask for the protection of everyone! However, I suspect this is out of your control and could not happen soon. To work around the problem, you can try to disable these old ciphers in your Firefox, which I hope it will force the server to try some more secure encryption algorithms when connecting with you. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste dhe and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha to true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    (4) double click on the security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha preference from true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    Try again the server; You may need to reload the page using Ctrl + Shift + r to ignore information in cache.

    Success?

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

    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

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

  • Need help to kill the nasty Firefox virus / adware

    One of the computers in my office has a nasty Firefox virus / adware. Only Firefox is affected, Chrome and IE agree. Get lots of pop-up ads even if pop-up blocking is enabled. Many pictures of non-standard advertising appear on most web pages. Hyperlinks show more pop ups advertising when you hover over some of them. Performance of Firefox is very slow. When I use 'Copy link location' on links and pop-ups, they each have a base URL different - too many to try to block via firewall or virus software. Anti-virus AVG, Malwarebytes scan, AdwCleaner, HitmanPro all come clean. All the Firefox plugins and extensions are disabled. Firefox reset does not solve it. Uninstall/reinstall of Firefox is. CCleaner ran on the files and the registry. None of the suspicious programs appear in the Panel. Ran antivirus, CCleaner, Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner, once again, all in safe mode. No joy.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    But I have a KEY, I need my favorites back!

    Help me, please, to the recovery of my favorites back!
    Thank you.

    You must use a very old version of Firefox if this version has always used a separate key for synchronization.
    29 Firefox and later no longer use a specific key synchronization, but derive the key to the synchronization of the password of the Firefox account that you use to sign in to this account.

    You need a version of Firefox 28 to connect to an old account of synchronization that uses the key of the synchronization.
