Several Internet sites have been automatically redirect me to the Yahoo! search engine without asking me that.

I click on the URL for a specific website (often a Tumblr blog), and the browser automatically redirects me to a Yahoo! search for terms related to this sentence. In some cases, I can click on the back button and it will take me to the site of that origin, I wanted to go, but sometimes is not yet do. It is very annoying. The most common example is when I try to visit the blog gaslightgallows.tumblr.com, which redirects me to the screenshotted search in the image as an attachment.

The only listed modules are the following:
Extensions: Feedly, SearchMe, Trend Micro Toolbar and perhaps Hola but also perhaps not Hola.

Searchme is an add-on faucet.

Here's my suggestion: If you do not install or do not recognize an extension, disable it. If nothing is wrong, delete it. All extensions are optional; No ship with Firefox.

You can remove the dossier Spigot completely; This article mentions where it is: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-spigot/

    Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome. Specifically, a large part of Tumblr and Facebook menu has been changed in another language (Russian, I think). I tried reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and reset firefox to its default state. None of them helped. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hey again,

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    I hope this helps!

  • How can I stop Firefox to redirect me to the Yahoo search engine

    When I try to go to the official site for ATF Cleaner, Firefox redirects me to the Yahoo search engine.
    I have removed all references to Yahoo in my registry and searched all the user for any reference to Yahoo profiles. I am running Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows XP.

    It is also possible that this problem is due to an add-on, maybe one who snuck on your system as part of a bundle.

    In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

  • Many of my sites have been created with Adobe Flash CS6 installed on my computer. I don't have a creative cloud.

    I'm a web designer. Many of my sites have been created with Adobe Flash CS6 installed on my computer. I don't have a creative cloud. It cannot consider sites that are up to now on mobile phones and tablets that will not allow the flash. Is this new version allows flash to mobile phones and tablets? What should I pay for an upgrade?

    The thing that disables the use of Flash on mobile phones and tablets is the cell phone or the tablet itself - they not only without any support for Flash.  You will need to pursue alternative implementations such as javascript/css/html5 use to overcome the problems of mobile/tablet.

    I have been using InDesign for many years. Last week I suddenly discovered that I couldn't open a document by double-clicking on the desktop or wherever it was. Instead, now I have to find the document in the folder it's in, click on it once, and then click file in the bar at the top of the screen, go to open, then it will be open. Any ideas why this happened all of a sudden? In addition, in the bar on the top of a document, I can no longer change the Essentials to advanced or others. Seems to have everything that happened at the same time. Help appreciated please.

    First of all: this has nothing to do with InDesign, it has to do with your OS, so second: what operating system? Windows or Mac because to solve this problem, we need to know which. It's your operating system which has lost the connection with your program and document files.

    There is nothing in the list of search engines manage and nothing works to get them. Help!

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    You can find the full version of the current version of Firefox 31.0 in all languages and for all systems operating here:

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • I can't stream videos until they are fully buffered, or see files download/download/in my records, until they have been completely downloaded so in the background, why is this?

    A week ago, I could not start the viewing of videos until they had been fully in memory buffer or files downloaded / see them being downloaded until they had been fully downloaded in the background somehow. I know that this is not a problem with my internet because I tried watching a video and download on my phone and Tablet and they had no problem instantly streaming videos while they have been buffered. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player and Java and cleared my cache, temporary internet files and internet history various times. I restarted my computer and nothing has solved this problem. I tried to download files / video streams on IE9, Opera, Firefox and Chrome and they all have the same question. My laptop is running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
