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.

When I open the file Downlad box in Firefox (v28) and asks me to select a file to download... as I click to scroll down the download file box things work well... then all of a sudden things scroll down (fast) at the bottom of the download file by itself.
How can I stop this from happening?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?
Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).
I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.
Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.
Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.
Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.
Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.
As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.

I deleted some photos from my iPhone 6 but I noticed that it was also deleted out of my IMac. How can I stop this
If you use iCloud photo library all the photos you delete a device will be deleted to iCloud and all other devices that are connected to this library to iCloud. The iCloud design library should synchronize all changes, including deletions, to all devices. You can reduce the storage space required on your phone by selecting settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage.

Hello
I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
Thank you
GunterYour best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows. Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used. She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.
Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).
This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you. For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:
Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.
Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing. You can then decide if you want to remove one of them. You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.
