PCPowerBoost took over from FireFox; How can I remove it?
Downloading Adobe Flash, I had a bunch of other (unwanted) stuff. I was able to uninstall all except PCPowerBoost 1.0.5. That seems to have infected FireFox. When I open FireFox, the search engine that comes up is Astromendia. I deleted from my list of programs, but I think it is integrated in PCPowerBoost. I uninstalled and reloaded FireFox but with the same result. How can I get rid of PCPowerBoost?
Where you downloaded the Adobe's Flash of?

pI had the same problem - downloaded a free program and the next thing I knew, Yahoo had taken over my Firefox search bar. A solution that works for me (Windows 7, 64-bit) is to do the following:
Go to computer C: drive > Program Files (x 86) > Mozilla Firefox > searchplugins.
In the searchplugins folder, just delete the file "yahoo." Restart Firefox and voila! no more Yahoo!

Pop ups coming from Firefox - how can I stop this
I have pop up blocker active. Have disabled my account exceptions. I get pop ups of Firefox - Firefox emblem is in the upper left corner - can't seem to make this stop. I ran the current version of protection from malware and viruses and everything is clear. These pop ups started about 1 week ago and are very irritating. Why Firefox sends me irritating pop-up windows? How to make this stop? I have XP
Is a ValueClick adserver and it is blocked by my file hosts and popups go in a tab, so I me page that essentially show nothing and a large warning message of "WOT: ' extension it's a junk site.
Adblock Plus could do a better job of blocking, not on or just the anrdoezrs. NET, but blocking a file that could cause it. Adblock Plus in itself does nothing, it needs filters. You can find more info about Adblock Plus as a file hosts on the following link:
- https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/Adblock-Plus/
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Adblock
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances#Adblock_Plus_extension
Basically, install the extension "Adblock Plus" and the subscription to the subscription of "Easylist". I went QVC.com and blindly click on the links on the page and does not have all the pop up pages, so it works, or is not there, or they have no idea of which ads to send again.

How can I remove it?Hi gunnermac,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle. Your home page might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc. have been ask to become your homepage.
There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.
If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bararticle.
If the address bar search has been changed, so you can take a look at Search the Web from the address bar.
If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.
Finally, your problem may be because you have been hit by some malware.
Hope this helps!

Hello FJM8:
YOU'RE THE BEST! The 1st solution (see below) was simple and worked like a charm.
I was afraid I was for a fight against you-know-who, this big ISP one who gave me the add-on (or toolbar).
Once again, your instructions were simple and worked super fast.Thank you!!!
PhilHow should I do if it's an add-on?
Use the add-on Manager to remove the toolbar 1. Click on the menu button (upper right corner) and choose Add-ons. Open the tab of the Add-ons Manager. 2. in the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel. 3. Select the toolbar you want to delete. 4. click on the button Delete. 5. click on restart now if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

How can I remove some of the history of firefox
I have Firefox history from 2008 to 2016. How can I remove 2008-2012? Can I make a backup of part only?
What story do you have in this time?
You can type a colon in the search bar in the Manager history (library) to get a list sorted by time and then start to delete the history from the bottom. It is best not to select too many items at once by Shift + Ctrl + PG. Prev starting from the bottom, 1000 is a good value to start. You can press the delete key to delete the selected items.
