I am redirected to a fake site of Mozilla, saying that I need to update to Firefox. Also weird ads are now on Web sites where they were not before.
When I visit amazon.com a strange announcement is on the bottom that does not belong. When I click in the search box, it opens a new tab saying I need to update my firefox. Still in the fine print it says that it is not affiliated with Mozilla. Ads are also on sites that do not have ads built on their site.
Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the strange extra disappears. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
- Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
Thank you.

I thought WWDC 2016 was just June 13 at 10 am PDT. Some sites say that the event is from 13 to 17 June. What is the date on which they will announce if there are new products coming out. What is 13?
WWDC is the 13th week, not a single day. However, at 10:00 13 will be the speech. It's what you want to watch. You can download the application to your computer via: Developer Apple WWDC Watch - WWDC -. You can download the app for iPhone, iPad, or contact via the iTunes Store.

I went ammyy.com, makes the download - but do not run or install it - bailed on the idea and hit the 'x' renunciation instead. Is my computer safe? Also are the other computers in the House if they were not on.

I don't know which is the site of ammyy, and I don't know what you have downloaded. If you just downloaded a file and tried not to install or run, there are no danger to him, niether to your computer or any other. If you think it's dangerous, just delete it.

I lived 3 versions of Ubuntu and 2 versions of Firefox with these Linux operating systems. None allow midi play on Web sites. He always lets know me that I need another plugin to be able to read the media on this page. I then click on the "install missing plugins" button and Firefox did a search but said that it is not everything. I hate expensive to return to Windows and Internet Explorer... but I will. Thank you

tippo1@cinci. RR.com
___________________________________________Chances that someone creates a plugin that plays embedded MIDI are not very high because the MIDI format is not widely used and it is already possible to play these files.
Plugins are third parties and as such is not part of Firefox and always need to be created by others as extensions. -
Some sites say that I have to update my browser even though I already have.
Hey,.
I downloaded the latest version of Firefox like 5 times, but some sites like Youtube, Myspace, and Twitter keep telling me that I need to improve Firefox because my version is no longer supported.
I also have the latest Flash Player and Java versions.
I tried everything, uninstall these three and their installation again. And if I use Google Chrome or even an older version of Internet Explorer, everything looks good. This happens only on Firefox. What is going on?I ask this because I like to use Firefox and I don't want to migrate to Chrome.
Thank you
Andrea.
Try to reset the user agent (identifies the version of the browser), yours is who identified himself as Firefox 2.0.0.17
For more information on how to do that see sites Internet says that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version. It gives details of a series of preferences that will have to be reset.

Text ads are placed on Web sites.
I don't know exactly what is the cause, but since yesterday, whenever I visit a Web page it ads embedded in the text in the world. At first I thought that it was only on a few sites I've been on - but I noticed them even on the facebook statuses and my own blog! These ads appear on other computers or other browsers on my own computer - so I guess it was something with firefox.
I tried to delete the cookies/cache and re-instalilng Firefox.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!Also, to be clear, these ads just look like blue hyperlinks in the text which are underlined double.
UPDATE:
I don't know what I did differently - but since this morning, the ads have disappeared.
Very strange, but good nonetheless. -
Maybe the registry files?
CCleaner is an excellent program for computer maintenance, but you should never use its registry tools. Because you forgot to tell us which games sites, you can reach, I can't check out them for you.
If you have used the registry cleaner in CCleaner, see if it has an undo feature and if it does - use it. If not, post back with the URLS of the sites that you can reach. Also tell us what browser you use - IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari, etc., and if you do not to sites with a particular browser, what happens when you try with another.
