Is s.yimg a component of Firefox? I see 'read s.yimg' flash in lft corner as a redirect when opening email yahoo?

I recently changed my Chrome Firefox browser. I have Yahoo mail. For a long time, my computer has been right very slow after connecting email Yahoo and my email will be freezes up. Now, with Firefox, when that happens, I'll get a message box that tells me that there is a long script and give me the option to stop it, debugging or let it continue. He also let me to know who is the script of. Most of the time its s.yimg.com/... but today I also received the message box indicating that a slow chome script was running, even though I had no Chrome. I went google to find out what s.yimg.com has been and found several articles about this, mostly indicating that it was a boring, harmful software which redirects searches and eventually titles. Also called a virus by some but others said it was a component integrated into Yahoo. I also read that she was bound with Firefox. Can someone tell me what s.yimg is? It is part of Firefox, or Yahoo, or is this a virus that infects the many applications and processes. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Would appreciate any help I can get.

s.yimg. com is a domain operated by Yahoo. There is no obvious reason to suspect nauseous if you are on a Yahoo site and see the files requested from the s.yimg. com This is not to say that Yahoo could not use it for some scripts/images of follow-up, but completely blocking it break Yahoo so this isn't really an option.

In the script errors does not respond, the ' chrome: / / ' prefix indicates an internal script within Firefox, part of the program or part of an add-on. (Mozilla has long used the chrome of term to describe the UI of the browser, as opposed to content, and another company liked the idea so much they named their browser after him).

We have an article of general support, please see: script is unresponsive warning - what it means and how to fix it.

Another common cause of errors in script fails on Windows Vista is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:

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

In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

  • When I was on Soundcloud, it says Firefox he blocked the dangerous Adobe Flash

    When I was on Soundcloud, Firefox said it had blocked Adobe Flash because it is "potentially dangerous." I don't know how he thought it was dangerous.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature a plugin, here's what to expect:

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

    But the page might be using Flash only followed or playing a video ad. If you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification, it will just sit there in case you want later.

  • Home page of Firefox loads when opening new tabs

    Greetings!

    When I open a new tab (add) in Firefox, the new tab automatically load my start (home) page. He is an annoying "feature" when I open the page to insert an address because the address of the start page is present, resulting in the need to remove it from the address bar. This was not the case in previous versions of Firefox. Is there a setting to fix this? In other words, I'd like to open a 'blank' page when opening a tab, but I don't want a blank page appears at startup.

    Thank you.

    California.Cyclist

    These are actually separate settings internally, unless you use an add-on to replace.

    Here's how you can change your new tab page:

    (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 newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?

  • Why Firefox 37.0.1 is not warn when opening more of 15 tablets, as before?

    Firefox used to (last week!) launch an alert warning when you try to open a folder with more than 15 (with a right click) (I think) Favorites in there. I use to check the progress on treatment with a folder of bookmarks, to see how I have left.

    Today, it opens just 80 or more tabs without questioning. Because I have a folder with more than 4,000 pages of a bookmark in it, this change is pretty bad: I don't want to spend an hour doing cmd - W to close tabs before starting to load and drag my system to its knees and beyond.

    Have you checked the setting in Firefox > Preferences > tabs?

    • "Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox.

    See also about: config:

    • browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Firefox is not reading my profile restored after reinstalling Windows

    I had to reinstall Windows (again!). Before that, I saved my profile on an external drive.

    I followed the instructions to restore (created a new profile and copy/paste the files saved in the new profile folder) and can see all the recorded files now reside in the new profile folder, but when I run Firefox it doesn't seem to be reading them at all. None of my favorites are available at all. It still looks like a new installation.

    I must have made a mistake somewhere but I can't work out what.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    How did you create the new profile folder: have you used the Firefox profile manager?

    If Yes:

    Try to start using the new profile manager and test other profiles where it is currently set by default to that bad.

    If not:

    Firefox can not see this folder because of its semi-aleatoric name. If you navigate to go up a level in the profiles folder in the folder of Firefox, you should find a file called profiles.ini. If you open this file in a text editor, it is likely doesn't have the path to your migrated file. You can change the corresponding path and then restart Firefox to see if Firefox connects with the migrated file.

  • Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

    We run a program that does not allow students to update programs or make other changes. The problem is that Firefox thinks that it NEED to update Flash Player whenever there is a new version. It is simply not feasible with as many computers as we support. 99% of the time, the update is not necessary.

    Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

    You can disable the blocking of modules in Firefox and remove the file blocklist.xml in the profile folder.

    Disable these prefs.
    Extensions.blocklist.Enabled = change this pref to false
    Extensions.blocklist.URL = delete the url if Firefox can't find the server where this file is sent from

  • How can I stop Firefox to redirect me to the Yahoo search engine

    When I try to go to the official site for ATF Cleaner, Firefox redirects me to the Yahoo search engine.
    I have removed all references to Yahoo in my registry and searched all the user for any reference to Yahoo profiles. I am running Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows XP.

    It is also possible that this problem is due to an add-on, maybe one who snuck on your system as part of a bundle.

    In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

  • Can't print emails Yahoo. Is this a Firefox problem?

    Can't print emails Yahoo. Is this a Firefox problem? I can click on print and e-mail opens in a new window, but when I click on print in the upper part of this new window it sounds right. The only other option on this window is "close this window".

    A fact used to knit before and recently stopped printing?

    To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    You will click on the button create a profile. I recommend using the suggested default location (do not click the button to choose a different folder). Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    You can get the print in the new profile dialog box?

    If so, it is probably a problem with one of your files, settings or extensions. If not, your installation of Firefox is maybe damaged. Rather than insert pages of instructions at this point, could report you on the results of the test first?

    When you return to the Profile Manager to return to your normal settings, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

    For example, I want to subscribe to some articles, etc, and my research has suggested I install Feedly (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad.../feedly/), I have now. However, I have noticed while playing that in Firefox, the feature to subscribe to a page offers this too - but is equivalent to the function of Firefox an RSS reader?

  • Firefox does play not any what Flash, even with the latest Flash installed

    Hello

    My firefox is unable to play any Flash for months.

    Here are the questions:
    1. If I want to watch videos on Youtube, it turns out to be just as black (by clicking on the video can trigger the icon well break).
    2. If I want to watch a Web site with Flash, it just loads the first 2 seconds and then Flash freezes.

    I have read all the help information in the forum and tried several solutions (see below), but none of them worked:

    -Uninstall and reinstall Firefox
    -Uninstall and reinstall Flash:

          1) when entered Youtube without Flash installed, the website asked me to install Flash but it somehow ended to a failure so I had to manually download and install
          2) after installing Flash, I also went to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. I can see the version info but not the animation of the banner - it just shows a red box and then disappears after a few secs.
    

    -Reset Firefox
    -Use mode browser safe
    -Install the latest version of Realplayer
    -Analyze the State of the plugin on the Web site: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    -Disable hardware acceleration in the advanced option
    -Regenerate the file "pluginreg.dat".

    I use WIn 7 (64-bit), with Firefox 24.0 and Flash11_8_800_168. I spent too much time on this issue and now I use Chrome to view the video.

    Hope this can be resolved with your help.

    Thank you!
    -Jeffery

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • 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.
    • 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.

  • Firefox crashes when opening and randomly - Windows XP.

    What I saw, is that FireFox crashes on most start-ups. It also blocks at random. He experienced, he did this in safe mode, too. He has done this before that plug-ins have been installed, and he does it since FireFox 12 or 13 of FireFox.

    Curiously, my folder where incident reports SHOULD go is completely empty.

    Current version: 22.0

    What I'd do here?

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
