New to Firefox. Should what modules I launch? Pushes its antivirus AVG toolbar. Is this necessary?
RELATING to the safety and security: are there additional modules should I run?
While I was on Chrome I got the feeling that Google was a form of filtering or come with caveats.
Mozilla automatically notify me if there are search results or links ladle or should I add a few 3rd party software like AVG toolbar?
Firefox has many built-in security features. AVG security toolbar is especially snake oil, it of pretty useless and can cause other issues. You can discover the list of modules to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
I would suggest you try www.adblockplus.org, it's the extension only "must use" I would say

Any Web site, that is, it started yesterday, I will click on a link or something in that sense. For example, Google. I go to google.comand start typing, rather than appear in the search bar, it appears in the URL bar. He also does this on any website that I sign, another example being the site of my college, in which I am really hoping that this is not a security bug because it would mean very bad news!
It seems that the resettlement of firefox was the key to fix. But I had to lose all my favorites in the process. =(

I've updated to Firefox v 9.0.1 and found when opening Mozilla 2 tabs appear. I just want my coming home page. It is very annoying. The 2nd tab is that keeps you pleased and tells you what's new in firefox.
Hi Cardy,
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:
- Enter about: config in the address bar
- Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
- In the filter field, type Startup
- Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
- Delete the text string, and then click OK
- Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.
Hope this helps!

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and I got a problem on my Norton spyware toolbar is not incompatible, but anyway, the most important thing that makes me choose Firefox on any other web browser is that I am able to save tabs and then exit. I think it was more great things because I could run my laptop off and save energy and when I got home I'm cold to take back what I what to do. My question is simply is you never have it save tabs and leave the new service or at least a way people would turn the function on will.
One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.
- Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.
- By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:
- by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
- type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."
- Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.
Things to check:
- Browsing history must be saved
- Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
- Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
- Also, make sure that you do not erase "Browsing history" when you use clear recent history or when Firefox is closed
- Using clear recent history
- Button Firefox: Firefox button > history > clear recent history
- Menu bar: Tools > clear recent history
- When Firefox is closed
- Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy (verified) > settings
- Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy (verified) > settings
- See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
- Using clear recent history
- Make sure that you are not in private browsing mode or in private browsing mode permanent:
- If you have the Tab Mix Plusextension, and then clear the built-in session restore.
To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:
- Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
- Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
- Open the preferences/list page
- Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
- If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
- browser.warnOnQuit
- browser.warnOnRestart
- browser.showQuitWarning
- Note: last pref is new in Firefox 4 b 12, may need to add (boolean)

CS5 reinstallation on new computers... what should I do?
Hi all
I have the version of CS5 Production Premium 64-bit, registered student all installed and up-to-date.
I am looking to build a new computer (well, new motherboard, processor and memory), it means I have to reinstall Windows 7, which will also have everything on my hard drive I guess (a good excuse for an interview, I guess).
In any case, should what steps I take to ensure that I can reinstall my computer on my new CS5 programs? I think that this is to disable the account on my old computer and then reactivated on my new once it is built and all up and being run, but what is the process? You want to make sure that I do things! (And legal!)
Is there any point in saving some files of CS5, or is it better to redownload all the programs again (I'm on an open-ended BB account and it would be just the time it takes to download new programs..) I know, for example with Valve's STEAM system, you can copy a certain file that contains all your game data, place it in the correct folder on your new computer, and this means that he will not have to re - download it again all your games. Is there something similar for Adobe CS5, or is it better to redownload everything again to make sure there is no conflict with the software on a new computer?
Basically, what is the process I should follow to reinstall CS5 on a new computer, I'm building?
Thank you very much
Dan
Hey there Dan, what you have described is quite the correct procedure for the move or reinstall after a system rebuild or upgrade Adobe CS5...
Regarding backups, the easiest thing is simply to use your disks to reinstall any fees. If you don't have the disks (because you downloaded the software to the place), you should definitely make them for offline backup! (that does not mean that you need to download the software to burn a DVD or both)
