  • Safari never puts a message on the screen saying that my computer has just been infected?

    I was surfing internet this afternoon and a window pops up on my screen telling me that my computer had just been infected by a virus and that I should click on a button to cancel the infection.  The pane had the Safari logo in it.

    I was afraid that the message itself was wrong and didn't click the button but instead, disconnected from Safari and closed my computer.

    Someone has an idea of what it was?  Safari post windows like that?

    Thank you.

  • A bad synchronisation has replaced my profile with incorrect information. How can I get it back?

    I turned on sync on my computer at home without realizing that I implement a sync account for my work computer. Both computers have _very_ different bookmarks and login/password data. Before her, I realized, my home computer profile has been replaced with the profile of my work. My bad for the backup does not my profile, but here I am. I will lose physical access to that computer for four months on 10/23, so I'll try to get back to the former State. How can I do this? I am wary to try a reset, see how I screwed up my system.

    My original goal was to have two profiles on my work computer, one for home, for work, and the two synchronized according to the device name.

    A big thank you to all those who can help.

    Ben

    Normally the data would be merged between connected devices.

    You should be able to restore the bookmarks from a backup JSON (.json or tablet .jsonlz4) in the folder bookmarkbackups.

    If you have lost the password then try to see if you still the signons.sqlite (and key3db) in the Firefox profile folder to see if you can make Firefox reimport bookmarks from this file.

    32 of Firefox and later versions store the passwords in the file logins.json in the profile folder and no longer use the file signons.sqlite.
    If you have the file signons.sqlite which has been used in Firefox 31 and more, then you could try to recover the passwords stored in this file (you lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
    You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the logins.json file.

    • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
    • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

    When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true and you should have the passwords into password manager, unless he could have errors.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Your company has never called a home residence to say that a computer has been infected with malicious malware?

    I just got a phone call from a person stating they are from Microsoft saying that my computer is infected. They asked me to run something and then they gave me a webiste to type. I was very tired and I asked for a phone number and she gave me 1-416-915-3536 or 1-800-500-44600 and ask Christine.

    Is - is this legitimate?

    Please notify.  Thank you... Bernadette

    It is a scam.  Whatever you do, don't let them get close to your computer.  MS does not have that kind of appeal.

    Good luck.

  • ITunes is to be ridiculous. I updated my iPhone 6 s to the latest version of the software, 9.2.1 a week ago. Not perfect, no problem whatsoever. However, whenever I plug my phone into my Mac, Itunes wants to upgrade the software again. How can I stop this

    A week ago. I updated my iPhone to IOS 9.2.1 6s. The update was done with success directly on my phone via wifi.

    I had no problem with the software of the phone since.

    However, every time I plug it into my Mac Mini and open Itunes, now a pop up appears asking me to upgrade to the same version of software.

    I have no idea why this happens and how the hell I let itunes know that I've already updated?

    I have the iPhone 16 GB S6 with the latest version of the software: installed 9.2.1.

    Any help would be appreciated. Please note that I am a Luthier and build guitars. I'm about like a fish!

    Barry.

    A version update of iOS 9.2.1 is out to solve a problem with error 53 and replaced the sensors contact ID - if your phone is already on iOS 9.2.1 is without doubt the old version of it, not a new. As far as I know the new version will be only detected by iTunes from the computer, not directly on the phone in settings > general > software update.

  • I just signed up with MZ SPRT. How can I change my password on MZ SPRT?

    I wanted to use the help of Mozilla's Support. I'm looking for more information about the synchronization. I decided that I would register with Mozilla Support so I've finished recording, went to my email account and clicked on Mozilla Support in the email I was sent. So far so good. Then I disconnected and went about other tasks. Shortly after, I came to the Support of Mozilla, but I can't sign into my account, I thought that my password is wrong. I went back to the registration email and got this way. I thought well, I'll just go into the settings of my profile and change my password. There is no place to change my password. Argh!

    I guess it will be an interesting learning process if I can't even help. Kind of did feel a bit dumb.

    Someone help me please!

    Thank you

    Open your eyes, Kenn. Do you see this block who says 'Change Password'? If you're smart enough to check the box, he will guide you in the process. Boy mute talk!

  • My tab bar no longer allows me to open additional tabs: there is no + after open tabs. It has something to do with the homepage. How can I fix it?

    no real details, just changed the home page

    You can open a new tab via Firefox > new tab > new tab?

    You can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

    You can find the button new tab showing as a '+' on the tab bar.

    You can open the window customize and drag the button new tab that indicates that a sign plus bar tabs on another toolbar and it will become a regular tools like the new button bar button tab you have in versions of Firefox 3.

    If you can not find the new button tab then click the button 'Restore Default Set' in the window customize.

  • Script MSN blocked with "hand-tweet-email" How can I remove these?

    Whenever I try to read an article on my MSN homepage I have big blocks colored with SHARE TWEET and EMAIL in the middle of the script make it impossible to read. It then becomes necessary to go to Google and open my MSN home page to read all the articles because Google updates to SHARE, TWEET, and EMAIL at the top of the page where they block all the script that I want to read.

    Hello

    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.
