I have the unwanted background music when using firefox

Whenever I now use Firefox (Imac 10.4.11) bad computer-generated music begins. This looks like an old computer game. Everytime I open a window it starts and doesn't stop. It engages, sounding like a siren of a police car. I turn off the speakers, but it drives me crazy!

This has happened

Are you sure that CoolPreview is not listed under Tools/Add-ons/Extensions?

So far, everyone who has had this problem been CoolPreview, including me!

I am also running Windows Vista and have FireFox 3.6.8.

If you are certain that you do not have CoolPreview suggests trying one or both of the following:

(1) download and install the current CoolPreview of www.coolpreviews.com. That's what fixed it for me! Even if you do not have coolpreview, it can replace a stray code located on your computer.

(2) or... Uninstall FireFox completely, restart your computer, and then download and reinstall FireFox.

One last thought, you are the ONLY user on this machine? Do you have other users sign-ons? If so, someone else may have downloaded and that's where the bad code.

  • Distortions of the screen when using Firefox on Android

    Hi, a recurring problem - when using Firefox on my Android Web site, are often distorted. If I try to zoom before to increase the size of police or image during playback, the screen breaks and distorts, with different sections of text and images disappear (black sections of the screen appear) or overlapping, often in a different font sizes. The Web site displayed on the screen as "jumps around." The same thing happens if I try to select text for copy - it is impossible to select all or selection is distorted. I have not had this problem before and noticed only recently. Almost impossible to use the browser now! What is the result of an automatic update of the software? Help, please! Thank you.

    Please try to update to Firefox 38.

  • Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

    Hello

    I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

    Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

    I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

    Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

    It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
    M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

    The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

    All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

    I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi jscher2000

    I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

    I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

    I am now free twinkle

    Thanks for your quick response however.

    I tried to download firefox.

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS - RTC LM 8)

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

    When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

    If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

    A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

  • Receive the 25 (Null) error when using Flightsimulator FSX

    Receive the 25 (Null) error when using Flightsimulator FSX

    Hello

    Try to open the it to start - all programs - Games - Games Explorer, and then clicking the icon FSX.

    A disk error of 25 means that the program cannot read your disk reading.  Either the disc is scratch, dirty or defective.  If you need another drive, or you can try it on another computer. The message of Visual elements of Vista is not serious.  Vista will automatically your screen to a basic compatible mode when the application is launched.  However, it seems that your game is a failure due to the disk error and not the Vista display problem. Try to clean the disc and see if that helps.

    Last resort, it seems you'd have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall FSX.

    Cheers!

  • Where do I put the AutoFill feature when using Firefox?

He does not receive this error on IE or firefox android. I use win 7. I talked with microsoft and they say it's a problem of firefox not outlook.

    I tried the things:
    -Updated firefox
    -Updated antivirus
    -antivirus scans
    -disable the anti-virus
    -from firefox in safe mode.
    -clear all the cache and history
    -Disable all add-ons
    -system restore
    -past by mistake "untrusted connection" on the help of mozilla (does not solve it. There is no option to allow the certificate)
    -search on the net for a similar problem (found nothing)

    So far, it has been like this for a week and its starting to piss me off as it happened out of the blue.

  • No sound when using Firefox Hello despite Firefox playing audio files in Web sites correctly...

    I tried to use Firefox Hello to a conversation with my mother, who also uses Firefox. She could not get any sound, just the video image, despite the volume being defined properly controls. The microphone settings are correct, and in fact, I tried to call using two different computers but with the same result every time. I used successfully for a conversation with someone different. We all have two Windows 7 Professional v36.0 Firefox

    My mother is able to listen to the audio tracks in websites using Firefox but I don't hear a thing in Hello, what makes all this seems quite strange.

    Happy to say everything works now. Nothing has changed, so why it wasn't working the other day? One of life little mysteries but work he does, which is all that matters.

  • For the last few weeks, I have been unable to navigate gmail when using Firefox, but gmail works fine in other browsers.

    When you use Firefox for Windows desktop, I was having trouble, repeated for several weeks, navigate to GMAIL. I can't open the emails, scroll forward or in any area of gmail, open folders as SPAM, TRASH, DRAFTS. Clicking on one of these links produces no response. It happens in Google calendar as well - same problem. This problem does not exist when I use another browser.

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > Firefox uses the subject: Access Protocol built on: pages that you open through the bar of addresses as you open webpages.)

  • How can I fix the redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

    I've redirected and/or pop ups using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. He started immediately with the download of the said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with this download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-start with Avast scan, as well as a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I always get the redirects or pop ups.

    A smart redirection (context sensitive) it's trying to get the money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, maybe] with the pop-up blocker probably integrated into Firefox, but Firefox Help leads me to an # 800 who offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with certified technicians as you will see in the chat below. He appeared as a function of Firefox, not a redirect.

    Just after the chat with the 800 suit, I opened FireFox and he went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a hash string more, which is perhaps how popups spreads?
    I'm from mozilla via a url and soon encouraged me to download the new version, saying a current obsolete. But he was not going to download it from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/

    He isn't very smart, it is also resistant to many software removal tools.

    What could suggest you? I tried not many of these tools yet.

    MySearchDial must have an entry in the Control Panel, but may also have fangs in your browsers.

    Control and cleanup that will take a few precautions. I suggest starting here:

    Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. Click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    Then, in Firefox, open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, 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.

    Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.
