SOMEHOW, YAHOO TOOK OVER MY HOME PAGE AND I CAN'T RESET IT. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?
Yahoo Search has completely taken over my computer. I can't reset my home page as it has to do so grayed out and accessible location. I'm only a little with the navigation of the computer, but surely someone in the world of Firefox has experienced this phenomenon before and has a solution.
My operating system is Windows XP Pro. My current version of Firefox is 31.1.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may have a lock file. The best way to clear it is this clean reinstall procedure:
(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 33 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(2) the release of Firefox.
(3) to rename the folder (Windows 32-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Try restarting Firefox. Fixed?
Note: Some plugins recently installed can exist only in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- C:\Program Files\OldFirefox\Plugins
- C:\Program Files\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

It seems that you might have downloaded some malware or adware. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to get rid of him. In the future, avoid the following types of sites to prevent it happening again:
- XXX sites
- torrent sites
- Group download sites (CNET, Softonic, download (dot) com, MacUpdate, etc..)
- MP3 download sites (Mp3 Skull, mp3monkey, etc.)
- No matter what website says you can do or download something for free you know otherwise you would cost money

Hello
Im having problems with my iPhotos import, I just bought photoshop elements 13 and mac book at the same time and I'm a bit of a learning curve, I noticed that on all the tutorials, there were people and Media tabs which I don't see, all I see is elive, Quick, guided and Expert, can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance

Elements consists of two separate but closely linked programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the Organizer, allowing you to organize them. You are looking in the editor. The Organizer, click the Organizer button in the start screen or at the bottom of the editor.
Now, you want to keep your photos in iphoto or organizer? It's a choice you need to do, sooner or later. The Organizer includes an EEG of photos by > command iphoto, but who's going to copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and organizing data bases do for copies. Is that what you want to do, or want to you use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE Organizer?

I ran scans using Norton Security Suite and Microsoft Safety Scanner and cannot get rid of the malware Taskeng.exe. My guess is that because it shares the same name as a legitimate file, the antivirus software does not recognize it as a malware. Also, I went online to get suggestions and tried to open the computer in Mode safe to look for a second file with the same name, but it does not appear. The malware Taskeng.exe turn away from my Firefox at Yahoo homepage which slows down Firefox when opening and it slows the opening of other sites as well. Suggestions?
Favorite and use this.

How can I get to the Firefox home page starting with disable my choice of startup homepage and then temporarily disable pop-up windows? Thank you, Bill
Do you mean that you do not have the Menus at the top of the Firefox window (File, Edit, View, etc.)? If this is the case:
- Press Alt on the keyboard to bring up the menus
- Click on the view menu, go down to toolbars and select menu to menu bar remain.
