How to stop the diversion of search engine

Right to the point: how to prevent sites like yahoo to misappropriation of your research?

Now, before the flames begin to-I checked several sites and non of show them how to STOP yahoo (and others) of hijacking, only how to FIX. It is easy fixing. These are two completely different questions. Stop, it's what interests me.

That said, lets ask it differently this time, why mozilla is allowing other sites in an arbitrary manner, a whim, authorize a Web site changes to the someones browser? If someone sets their browser to a specific search engine, mozilla shall not permit to be changed by one source, other than the owner (the user in this case), at BEST maybe a fox herself warning system requesting a change.

This would raise the question, how many other problems of security work in the background that are not intrusive (recorders, data mining etc..) which are 'allowed' to manipulate the Fox without knowing them users? How can I install / activate some features of alert that maybe says:

"Your current search engine [search engine] was changed, are you sure? Now, users are less likely to lose their search engine without warning.

Web sites cannot change your default search engine in Firefox without having to install a local file, is a program that changes your settings or an add-on. If you've seen any site show how to hack the default search engine setting while visiting a web page, please report the URL to Mozilla for urgent investigation.

Downloading a program and especially an add-on install prompts the user to allow/disallow installation, although the site may not be honest about the purpose and effect of the program, and Firefox is unable to break down a program in real time and tell you in advance what he does.

The most frequent cases seen on this forum is where a user has downloaded free software as "watch live sports anywhere" or "video" and it comes with a range of invasive software that either has not been disclosed or you just didn't notice in the 10 pages of small print, you have accepted. In fact, the installer may have been downloaded with any browser and affect all your browsers.

In regards to the programs that you are allowing your system how can Firefox, Firefox assumes that you accepted and allows them to run if they meet the current validation requirements and have not been reported for blocking. There is not a ban on Add-ons that affect research. If you think that there should be, you could raise this suggestion on the forum of modules here:

  • How to remove the Yahoo! search engine

    I have two yahoo search engines, appearing in the search box menu. One is Yahoo and the other is Yahoo! (with the brand of the explanation). It seems that Yahoo! has hijacked my browser as I am unable to remove it by using the search engine option to manage. Although it seems to be removed, when I close Firefox, I get a message indicating that a blocked program its withdrawal. Please tell me what I need to do to remove this fake search engine as it redirects me to what seems to be legitimate pages Yahoo saying the words I never typed cannot be found. Interestingly, redirects do not occur for all the sites I visit.

    Thank you, Tony

    Use most or all of the programs listed. Each works differently.
    If a program forgets something, another can catch it.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • How to pass the bar of search engine in the old design, where I could spend the engine of research instead of having to click on the

    Hello, unfortunately, I have updated to Firefox 50.0 without realizing a lot of my modules and apparently my search bar would be altered... The modules except for (what seems to be "they are not signed" that I hope will be fixed at some point by itself), the search bar, it's really what grinds my gears.

    I think I've had this problem before and after weeks of trying, I could fix it, but for the life of me I don't know what to look for to fix, or what I did.

    My problem is that I have several search engines, and I often STAY on a SEO and looking for several things. I used to be able to click on the button to default search engine (which is now a magnifying glass) and select the search engine, I want to use AND CONTINUE to USE it until I CHANGE IT to SOMETHING else.

    The path before the update was so: click on the magnifying glass symbol / google-> select a search engine, for example Wikipedia-> enter something I want to search-> it shows results on wikipedia-> do not click on anything whatsoever, but rather just enter something into the search again-> it searches on wikipedia.

    Now, it's this... Click the magnifying glass-> click on wikipedia-> enter something-> it searches on google-> realize you must click on the wikipedia button AFTER entering in the things-> click button wiki now-> it research wiki-> enter something new-> it goes to google. -> get really angry and slam your head against the table-> click the wikipedia-> realize I clicked the wrong language wiki, since I have 4 of them right next to each other-> hit enter once again-> it goes to google-> quit smoking.

    So yes... is there a way the helm of research back to the old design, where there was a LIST of engines of research instead of buttons, and she kept the search engine locked up until you have selected something again.

    Since the last update when I type in the search field, all the possible search engines are visible, and it's very confusing use now. It is also a double feature as I see that the selection of search engine is still available next to the search icon.

    Is there a way to disable the display of all the search engines available in the results 'search as you type "?

    Running Ubuntu.

    Please, do not react with an antibot question or answer, the only goal, is that I see if it's possible or not until you switch to another browser. Seems more recent updates to firefox are based mainly on the subjective views of individuals rather than on the wishes of the user. Such a shame for that one good browser.

    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    You can find research tab to change search engines in Options/preferences between the tabs and content in the current version.

    How can I remove iMac bing search engine? When I search for something on google, the screen automatically goes to bing for a response. I set Google as my search in the settings provider! Frustrated!

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

    The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

    Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

    2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

    something. AppRemoval.plist

    Something.download.plist

    Something.ltvbit.plist

    Something.notification.plist

    Something.Update.plist

    Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

    Epolife

    InstallMac

    Javeview

    Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

    Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

    something. AppVemoral.plist

    Something.dolnwoad.plist

    Something.btvlit.plist

    Something.uadpte.plist

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

    Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

    Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

    3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

    ~/Library/Application Support

    and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

    Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

    4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

    If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

    You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

    Empty the trash.

    If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.
