  Hi Pat NY,.

  This can occur because of a browser hijacking. You can uninstall all toolbars and modules in Firefox.

  Because this problem occurs in Mozilla Firefox, you may need to contact Mozilla for further assistance.

• only in firefox browser hijacker

  Just upgrade to the latest version of Firefox a few days ago. Found advertisements popping up throughout the tabs, sites, all sites visited. This does not work with all browsers on the same system, only Firefox. I tried several different companies without result removal tools. The last of them tried was malwarebytes that seemed to clean properly. I pulled the top of firefox that prompted reports of malwarebytes. It seems that the hijacking is firefox.exe. Is this possible? I also uninstalled and deleted firefox to my system twice. How can I get rid of this cursed hijack? If it won't be easy, I am prepared to format/reinstall the whole system like going to another browser if necessary permanently.
  I added a picture of one of the STE stuck, but others get through, deporting more tabs and multiple windows of Firefox.

  ^: a weird update channel displayed your data: release-cck-mozilla50

  Did you install Firefox from the Mozilla Server?

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep the problems, and then create a new profile.

• My Yahoo homepage hijacking

  I searched all night, passing through the old posts, and I can't seem to find how to stop Yahoo as my default browser. I changed the settings in the subject: config, I hit the perf.js. I removed the other search engines from the pool of search engine in the browser's settings section. I am at a loss, and it's driving me crazy. I'm on version 40, on Windows 10.

  Let's separate some different potential problems:

  • You want to change your default address bar search engine, search bar, built-in home bar bar page tab and click on search. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > search, top
    
    Firefox will allow you to change this setting and it works when you're looking for?
  • You want to change your home page, the page that appears if you click the home button or start a new window using Ctrl + n. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general
    
    Firefox ignores your choice here?
  • Another page loads at startup, other than your designated home page. This can be caused by a bad add-on or a hijacked desktop shortcut. (To check the shortcut, do a right click, then properties. On the shortcut tab, check the target, it should have all the addresses at the end, just "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")

  To investigate a bad add-on, I suggest:

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, 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. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  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.

  Any improvement?

  (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  Success?

  (4), check your connection here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  Click the mini network, then on the button "settings". The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should piggyback on your LAN-Windows/IE setting, or 'No proxy', you can try to see if that helps.

• Vonteera Browser hijacker in topic: config, how to remove?

  Hello

  I was infected with a browser hijacker, who publishes advertisements on Web sites. It shows "ads Volaro" and do some reading on the net, part Vonteera / cause. I tried to clean the registry and deleted several suspicious files in the respective folders in my profile, erased the pref.js in Mozilla several times, no effect.
  In the subject: config, I noticed two Vonteera process, namely:

  vonteera.randurls; {"" tp | www.adnets | info |: srv1 | do ": 1," GST | www.adnetworkus | com |: srv1 | analytics ": 1"}
  vonteera.randurlsdate; 1415467507208

  They keep coming back, even if I reset them. I'm sure that they are the cause of evil.
  No idea how to get around this?

  I ran several antivirus (AdWCleaner, Malwarebytes, Hitman... etc), at the end ESET has done and found / removed the loaded files.
  Throughout the process, I believe have hurt my Firefox profile to some extend, as some Add-Ins were not more. I had to reinstall Firefox completely, a simple reset did not help. in any case, all good now and returned to service.
  So, if you get Vonteera / ads by Volaro, try ESET and be prepared to reinstall FF.

• How can I reset the new tab page? (Browser hijacking)

  My browser has been hijacked recently by Trovi search engine, and it changed the home page and the new tab page. I was able to restore the home page, but the new tab page was more complicated. I tried to go to about: config and replacing 'browser.newtab.url' 'about.newtab' (because I want the page with websites frequent return), but it just resets the site you'll find once I clicked OK. I tried editing that it again, this time with a URL, but it resets again. This continued even after restarting Firefox. Finally, I tried the add-on "SearchReset." He wiped my regular home page, but the new site of the tab is always you'll find... Whatever I do, it will not change. It keeps resetting to Trovi.

  You must remove the malware that Trovi hijacker.

• Adware has hijacked Firefox can't find it in extension, or programs. It is Dejvu IE 6 all over again

  I did a cleaning with Adware remover, malwarebytes, Spybot search and destroy.
  Nothing I can find.
  I was infected by offer4u and malware of similar product that kept showing offers and other products when I was on a commercial Web site.

  EVEN this does not show anywhere, it was not in the programs. He moved somehow in hidden firefox.
  Even my firefox start page has been hijacked and the search for something I do not remember.

  All this has allowed out. But the other day I still have the Offer4u popup. I disabled it for always the have not seen since.

  Now, whenever I visit a site, it is redirected to this url.
  http://API.pitlap.info/v1/users/wMfSaZPIqrU=/tips.JSON?where_created=SG & api_key = da4b9237bacccdf19c0760cab7aec4a8359010b0 & secret = eb3e8ac05132bbaeb79f6e8eb53b67e753d79da3 & pr = 1 & bring_info = 0 & method = post & url = http://www.tienda.com/?affid=cj
  This is the exact url to tienda.com
  As you can see, when I visit a site, he's trying to reload this page with a particular reference id.

  I can't find it anywhere and nothing can remove it.
  His is a huge firefox security hole, I'm sure. So it is not detected as an adware.

  It is difficult to go yet as the reference ID and the URLS are false and he ends up redirecting to the home page.

  Yes, I know that I can reinstall firefox to a scratch, but it will be for all the extension back pain once again.

  How did become FIrefox like IE. It's dejavu. It seems the right time to spend in chrome.

  There seems to be no support or any person recognizing this question in the forums. It seems that no one is disturbed

  Have you checked your list of extensions Firefox Safe mode? This disables the ability of the extensions to hide in the page modules.

  Something custom in your connection settings? You can check here:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default value is "Use system proxy settings" (adopted IE settings); you could also try 'no proxy '.

  If you do not have an extension or a proxy, the cause, you may drain your Firefox program folder and reinstall Firefox. Note: do not uninstall Firefox or delete your settings, it's about the program folder.

  Clean reinstall it

  The process is: rename the program folder, and then reinstall Firefox. In this process, the installer of Firefox should recognize and automatically connect with your existing profiles.

  (Still, it may be a good idea to make a backup. This article offers suggestions: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles Firefox.)

  You can download the installer for Firefox 27.0.1 here:

  https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (scroll down to your language)

  Then, after the release of Firefox, rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  something like

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  Then run the installation program.

  Any improvement?

  Note that some plugins and extensions installed in the program folder. You can check out them later if you discover their lack, but to minimize contamination, please not bulk copy these files.

  Regarding the opening of a new topic, you can always start a new question by using the "Ask a Question" at the top of the page.

  It's demand to have the strongest anti-malware built into Firefox? Currently, the phishing and malware protection is limited to what Google is willing to offer and it offers not the same list for users of Firefox to Chrome users. Further, Mozilla plans to add more services to the browser. The question is if something is better free or that he would need to be a paid service, in this case, use commercial antivirus software could be better than to have a Firefox solution only.

• Hijacked conduit Firefox search; Topic: Config disabled

  A new version of driving has hijacked my FireFox browser, among other things. Everytime I open a new tab, he returned to leads rather than my default to Google search engine. Any mistake of typing in a url sent me to bing via ducts. I used to be able to get in: config and solve these problems, but now, any attempt to do that simply sends me to bing. It is a horrible mess and continues to be, and FF users should block these redemptions of conduit.

  The "entrusted11" addon pretends to uninstall. The FF restarts, he was always there. In the meantime, I ran scan of Hitman Pro. It found and fixed several things led the others missed, as well as known malware. After a reboot of the machine, the Entrusted11 addon uninstall for real.

  Another problem: FireFox has been configured to use a proxy. I put that back to no proxy and redirects it to Bing went.

  Search for Reset the extension installed and ran, but something (popup of an icon in the bar of tasks or FF addon - they are close together and he quickly disappeared) blocked changes to the configuration of the home page. Reset manually under this kind of things: Tools-> Options-> general.

  Right-click on the icon of checkerboard newtab grew up the usual context menu for offline right click on web pages, without option to reset anything, BUT after using Hitman Pro and the reboot of the machine, this problem has cleared up.

  Internet Explorer is still hijacked, how Hitman Pro has not resolved all the problems on this machine. I want to use Firefox some time before calling this post solved.

  Firefox home page has been hijacked by Bandoo. We went back to Firefox, but lack the Google logo on the home page and the search results. Is it Google, or is another search engine still there since the hijacking? The orange long Firefox box top left went too.

• How can I get rid of the Starburn browser hijacker

  Amazing thing, I saw this on a forum legitimate anywhere, I can't find answers unless I want to pay for a tool of suppression of sites that I don't trust. My computer is infected with "Starburn" pirate of browser. No Antivirus tool detects and removes. Tried Malware Bytes, Ad Aware and AVG Antivirus. I can't find anything in the modules or extensions indicating that it's there at all, but my computer is 50% slower and my CPU usage is shockingly high even with a single open tab. I welcomed the upload of my information the module below.

  I checked the Task Manager and, of course, normally have several windows open. There are many processes that are running, but when I search the Web for what they are, they all seem to be legitimate. I also used Rootkit Revealer, looking for a couple of registry files that I saw displayed commonly people «SAY» are associated with Starburn, but they do not appear in my registry I see. There is nothing to uninstall in Control Panel, "add and remove. There is no visible ons or extensions relating to this browser hijacker.

  If anyone has ANY help or suggestions please post them. This hijacker affects all browsers. So if I switch to IE or Chrome, it's the same thing, that tells me that this is not a Firefox problem but possible something deeply embedded in the system. Then reset Firefox with its default values (which I did not) almost certainly would not solve the problem. Thanks for your time.

  Giedrius... I can't find the words to thank you for your time and help! Adwcleaner 'DID' detect the hijacker, but unfortunately was not able to remove it. He tried and said it succeeded twice, but the hijacker was extremely sneaky and nasty. While I was waiting on Hitman Pro, I visited your blog you me bound and followed the subject: config steps and it worked. The pirate air may still be in the system somewhere, but is no longer redirects me. And Adwcleaner, accelerated considerably the computer.

  Again, I can't thank you enough. Again, I can use my computer with no problems. I'm not very spiritual, but I always thought that what goes around, comes around... karma, in other words. And I hope that your help is refunded to you a thousand times. I am extremely grateful! Thanks again for your time and your answer to my problem.

• Firefox homepage hijacked by Claro-search

  • • RESET IS NOT WORKING *.

  Hello, can I recently acquired the Malware from search engine? (I think this is a Malware)

  I have looked everywhere and found a way to support the issue of the 'NEW TAB' and he's back to Google.ca.

  But I have yet to find one problem with automatically hijacked home page and send me any right to return on the site no matter what I do to change the URL.

  I did the following things.

  1: deleted from the toolbar of modules

  2: removed the toolbar of the control panel

  3: turn off my computer and restarted in Mode safe - Networking to run programs, malware and other virus scanners.

  4: modified my Hosts file

  5: market of Firefox in Mode safe reset all default settings.

  6: the URL has changed several times.
  ____________________________________________________

  I can set the homepage to 'White' that solves the problem.
  BUT I want to clear my computer for good, not just covered with parameters.

  NOTE: I have no knowledge in computer configuration so I'm a loser to do something like manually checking my file systems and others to eliminate this problem.

  Also! If I type anything in the search incorrectly bar, it automatically use iSearch-Claro to search results.

  It's the bar of research on the topic: Homepage?

  If there is a problem with the search through the default value: home page and then try to reset the search engine used on the subject: homepage.

  Reset the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone through the context menu by default on the topic: config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the on: default home page.

  1. Open the topic: config page through the address bar
  2. Type in the filter bar: mstone

  4. Close and restart Firefox

  If this did not help, then remove the button Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and repeat the foregoing.
