My Firefox updated and since I was spamming people, nothing is picked up on my antivirus and I deleted the offending module - ideas?

I removed the add-on of Fireshot which updated as it began to happen, it has opened a window of announcement. I ran my anti-virus full with nothing found.

Hello, if you think that this is a problem caused by adware on your pc, go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

    Two points:

    1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
    deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
    can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
    Configuration/program Panel and features.

    2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
    things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
    temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
    The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
    Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
    drive for about US $65.

  • On the home page that Firefox has a message that my firefox is not far, when I click on update and go to the web site of firefox it says that I'm on the latest version.

    You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!
    Above is the message I get on my home page. The upgrade is highlighted today and when I click it I go to the Firefox page, and this page shows that I'm on the latest version. This happened since I updated to this version. I don't remember the date, that I have improved, but I think it was when it was only available.

    It - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I do not think that it is maintained.

    From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

  • Pedometer in health app inaccurate since ios10.02 update and followed by the month and the year disappeared. Why?

    I used the pedometer in the application of health that accompanies the iPhone6 for 18 months. I walk on a treadmill each morning for the same distance and time. The number of step was close enough for more than a year, but then I updated to ios10.02 and the count has been reduced by more than 2500 steps every day for the same duration of time and distance on the treadmill. He remained much lower now for two weeks. I also notice that the dashboard no longer offers a total annual and medium, or monthly. Is there a fix to come or was the unit off so much for the previous year?

    You can still access graphics monthly and annual. In the form of health data, press activity. Swipe to today. Tap measures. You will then see a graph and a bar with options to choose to see it in days, months, or year. This works with any metric system.

  • After update will not completely re-checkin for update and then reloading the firefox update page. (all deleted and the problem persists).

    Firefox updated as I wanted. Now, each I reopen the application is going through the screen of loading/updating before the opening of Firefox. When she opens the Firefox update page loads. I emptied everything (cache, connections, history, etc.). It will not stop. I hesitated uninstalling and reinstalling because it isn't always re - import settings, bookmarks, etc.. Love this browser and all software you provide.

    Hello Paul,

    You should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle. It could be a problem of pref.js. It should give you all the information you need!

    If this does not work:

    1. Enter about: config in the address bar
    2. Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
    3. In the filter field, type Startup
    4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    5. Delete the text string, and then click OK
    6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.

    Hope this helps!

  • Firefox updated and deleted all my favorites. How to make a comeback?

    The bookmarks menu is the same, but all have disappeared. Firefox has created another folder on my desktop, but it's all in the code, and I have no idea what is there or how to get back on this version.

    Did you reset Firefox and create a new profile and don't have created Firefox and "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop with the contents of the old profile?

    If your bookmarks would not allow the new profile then check if there are backups JSON (.json or files compressed .jsonlz4) in the folder bookmarkbackups.

    You should perhaps delete the places.sqlite file and restore a JSON backup in bookmarks (library) Manager.

  • How to make the two direct DBS update and write through the same cache?

    Hello
    Sorry for any fault of grammar since English is not my first language.
    Our team is planning to migrate a project centered on the DB to the solution of database consistency. A problem that we face is that a large part of the business logic was implemented in DB stored procedures, which would take the time and effort to rewrite in the entity of consistency model. To for this transition process harmonious and progressive, is there a way to support the two BD update and write through on the same cache? In other words, I want that stored procedures will continue to manage the demand for legacy, after the update, update the web service (update) or (expel/get) the cache; While new logic of business on the same Entity (Cahce), I want to reach write-through. Is it achievable? Thank you!

    Hello

    So what you're really asking is a way to ensure that updates made directly to the DB of your existing system are pushed in cache coherence.

    It is a common problem with a number of possible solutions according to your specific needs.

    If you do not need data in cache, in other words, don't mind if it's a bit outdated, then you can use the expiry and refresh to come so that consistency will expire entries the cache and reading in that the DB to the need to hide.

    If you need accurate data in the cache, it is when it changes on the DB you had to push as soon as possible in the cache, then you need another way. It depends probably the DB that you use and what functionality it provides to allow you to hang change tables.

    The SIG London yesterday there was a presentation on the Oracle Golden Gate to do this kind of thing. I think that it is based on the use of the APP and of course an Oracle DB.

  • Often just by filling out a form on a website, Firefox hangs and stops accepting the text. Can be thawed by starting another application unrelated.

    It just happened during the filling in the details area. Firefox has agreed a text then froze. I just erased it by opening the program to the trash on the desktop (it seems to work with any program, I've tried). I had this problem for a few months and is not fixed by updates. It happened twice during the minting of these details. Although I can fix it, it's very annoying. I have no other problems with Firefox.

    This could be potentially because of Add ons or extensions that handle auto completing forms. I recommend that you first make sure that each of your add ons and extensions are up-to-date:

    In order to eliminate add ons or hardware acceleration, try Firefox Safe Mode:
    

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    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. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Installed Adobe Flash Player update and now get the security warning message

    On each page on that I click I get the warning following pop box IE. A website wants to open web content outside of protected mode. This program will open outside of protected mode". The Web site, whether is Adobe Flash Player.  I can't get rid of the pop up if I click on allow.  I can click on don't allow not, but for every thing I'm in, I get this pop up warning window.  I do not think that I have to click on "don't show me this message again" that I should?

    I asked this question on the Adobe forum, and while a lot of people have looked at my question, I did not get all the answers.  I also went to support at Microsoft and found this problem.  The only difference is that the problem is for Vista and I have Windows 7.  Otherwise, it's exactly the same thing.  He said to check for a fix.  I clicked the button to fix, but then he said that it was not available.  I don't understand.  First he said it was, but when I clicked it, it said that it was not.  Is it because I have Windows 7 and not Vista?

    As you can probably, I'm not the sharptest knife in the drawer when it comes to computer problems so I could sure use some help.  I also installed all updates latest IE.  That did not help.  I would like just to uninstall Adobe Flash Player but don't have many programs need?  I you could use some help here.  Thank you.

    Sandee

    I tried to follow your steps as carefully as I could.  I'm sorry to report that it did not work.  What I finally had to do was to make a back up and restore.  I backed up before 3 days, which was a bunch of Windows updates.  I probably lost all updates but guess what - the warning box has disappeared.

    Thank you very much for taking the time & than give me such clear instructions, step by step.  The fact that you tried is appreciated by me.

  • Problem of Premiere Pro update and bug of the SOUL

    After I renamed the files and e mptying media in preferences Cache database I thought everything was working, it's up to what I exported my project for updating Adobe media encoder. There was no audio playback from the rendered file and my Canon 5 d clips were absent are not acvhd. It is a multi-cam project and the audio that was used was the acvhd clips. Pretty weird... So I tried to export the project from first to work around the TEA and it worked perfectly.

    In the SOUL, please go to Preferences > general and uncheck import sequences in native mode. Then export the sequence from Premiere Pro to SOUL and see if the problem persists.

    If this change solves the problem, then we are interested in a copy of the project, if possible, to test.

  • Would never be able to stop or restart the computer in the menu after the 10.11.5 update and cannot get the 10.11.6 because iMac restart

    After the 10.11.5 update, that I could never restart or shut down my iMac (late 2013, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) using the new menu. I can only stop it by pressing the button for a few seconds. I saw a few discussions addressing the question here and have tried to implement some of the solutions proposed, such as restarting in safe mode, deleting the application from Wacom-, but nothing has worked. Now I can't get the 10.11.6 updating or update my Adobe Creative cloud, incidentally, which became available to me, because I can't restart the computer. Do you know if this update would be better and solve the problem? Is there a way I can get this update even if I cannot restart the computer, or even to restore the system to an earlier version?

    Perhaps run EtreCheck and post the results here.
