Stop redirect firefox to add

Often, when I click on a link or open a new tab I open another tab to redirect me to a page to add. There are also lots of pop up adds in the lower right corner sites random words will be highlighted and when clicked on the lead more add CITES. I tried to start in safe mode, reset Firefox and even uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing seems to work. I like Firefox, but I don't know how much more I'll be able to stand the use if this problem continues to happen, Please help.

Often this is caused by an add-on, specifically an extension. A common scenario is that you download a free software and it contains undisclosed options.

Since Firefox, try this: turn off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Please also check:

(1) Windows Control Panel, uninstall a program. Click the Installed On column header to sort by date and check the recent entries. Often, it reveals how the items arrived in a bundle and allows to remove. If you don't remove them here, they could be injected back in Firefox.

(2) additional malware analysis. This article lists the tools, Firefox users have found useful to remove unwanted software: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

A little luck?

  • How to stop the code that adds video clips

    Hello

    I have a code simply adding video clips. Video clips are on the same time move along the stage.

    The first clip is already on the scene and the code should add three more. Clips of three film set with the instructions if are added correctly (for positions origX and origY).

    But after adding the three, he keeps adding them. And not at all defined first x and y, but x = 0 and y = 0.

    How can I stop it after you add the three?

    The code is in a separate class file.

    Thanks in advance!

    Duck/public class extends MovieClip

    {

    var origX: number;

    var origY: number;

    var i: int;

    var newDuck: party;

    public void Duck()

    {

    origX = this.x;

    origY = this.y;

    this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveDuck);

    }

    function moveDuck(event: Event): void

    {

    This.x += 0.25;

    If (this.x is origX + 50)

    {

    addDuck();

    }

    If (this.x is origX + 75)

    {

    addDuck();

    }

    If (this.x is origX + 100)

    {

    addDuck();

    }

    }

    function addDuck(): void

    {

    newDuck = new part();

    parent.addChild (newDuck);

    newDuck.scaleX = 0.55;

    newDuck.scaleY = newDuck.scaleX;

    newDuck.x = origX;

    newDuck.y = origY;

    }

    }

    You operate Duck() instanciates an enterFrame function that actually creates instances the duck on the scene. Once started, there is nothing to say things to stop creating new ducks. You can add a loop for which counts the number of ducks you want and then kills the enterframe function. I don't know why your x and y values are reset to 0.

  • Why Firefox suddenly adds things (e.g. toolbars special) without my explicit acceptance, and how it stop?

    Firefox you always tell me when it will be an update and ask if I wanted to accept an add-on or toolbar included with the update. Now, it seems that it is automatically updated and including the toolbars and modules without asking me. How do I change the settings so I can stop this?

    Hello, firefox updates never include toolbars or other unwanted programs - please always download firefox from the original location to getfirefox.com.

    you might have a problem with adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • How to stop disabling Firefox Web of Trust add on

    Firefox has suddenly taken a dislike to the Web of Trust add on which I have on my computer. Whenever I use the computer, Firefox tells me that the add-in on could not be verified and it has disabled either he, or I found after downloading WoT once again, he tells me it will be disabled when I restart Firefox.

    There is no way of replacing it and it is very annoying, because I like WoT and have used it for years. Any help please?

  • How to stop Firefox to add www automatically; How to control the content in my address bar?

    try to contact this address: http://familylawyerandcounselorinhoustontx.com/sohoadmin and Firefox will automatically add the www. which I think causes the error "problem loading page".

    Are you sure that the link is fair? because I tried to access this page without www and I also did not have access, I tried in IE and the same result.

  • How can I get Firefox to load pages correctly and stop asking me to add to every page I visit as a "security exception"?

    I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox today because it is necessary for some of the websites that I need for my course at the college level. However, each unique Web site, I'm going to (even the Mozilla of sites, Google, etc.) says that there is an "untrusted connection". On some sites, I have an option between "get out me of here! ' or add this site especially as a security exception. As you can imagine, it is very time consuming and frustrating. I uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists, both in Mode without failure. With this question, every website that I managed to get access to is all kinds of messed up. The modules are missing, or the entire page is empty. It can stay there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and a fast processor. I was using Chrome front and Internet Explorer without problem. About two years ago, I used Mozilla Firefox on the same computer and had no problems. I have a 64 bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing the problem. I went through and tried to change almost all of the settings, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

    Verify that the date and time on the computer is set correctly.

    See also "this connection is untrusted" error message - what to do

    If the problem persists after checking the date and time please say what security software you use, because some security software can cause this kind of problem.

  • How to stop the "Firefox" account set up the tab opens automatically

    My default home page is set to Yahoo, but everytime I open a new tab from the home page, the "Create a Firefox account" tab opens automatically every time. It is annoying because I double tabs I want open and need to keep close account of Firefox page. I don't want an account Firefox then how can I stop this tab always open?
    Thank you.

    Yes, this page is to create a Firefox Sync account.

    In order to change the URL of the new tab:

    1. Enter Subject: config in the address bar
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Find the line browser.newtab.url
    4. Double-click the value (present value should be https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/firstrun/) and enter another URL or on: newtab
    5. Click OK and close all: config tab

    Note
    The pref browser.newtab.url does more than 41 of Firefox.

    This is for security reasons: too many modules and malware use this feature to set their own new tab URL.

    Then, you can use this add-on: new tab override.
    When the add-in is installed, open about: config, find pref [email protected] and change the value to the desired URL.

  • How to stop redirects to new tab?

    When I click to open some sites (not all) a new tab is generated. The new tab is often to respond to a survey or simply an advertisement related to the site, I selected initially. Example - click on Wells Fargo and an additional tab opens that announces mortgage rates OR on a retail online store URL and the additional tab offers me to participate in an inquiry. This problem started when Windows 8.0 has been installed. The 8.1 update has not solved the problem. My Firefox is version 25. How can I stop these new tabs open in Firefox?

    This could be caused by an add-on, by malware external or a pirated connection. Let's start with modules. Try this:

    Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

  • Firefox automatically adds the port number in the address bar when it is not.

    I work for an ISP company that implements regular routers for a customer locations. One of the things I need to change about it is to assign the management port 8080. For example, 192.168.0.1:8080. Once I try to install a new router that Firefox automatically assume I want to go to the same port 8080 and automatically concludes for me. Since the new router has not been configured with the 8080, yet I can't. So basically I would like to see if I can stop Firefox automatically enter this bit of information. It is very annoying and even more annoying that I have to use another browser to make changes since Firefox can not. I found a similar fix posted when Firefox will automatically ".www" but which did not fix my problem.

    Disable the URL bar auto-complete feature. You can always select an address already used by the arrows down on the drop-down list of AutoComplete, but Firefox won't add characters to the URL as you type. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the filling and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the browser.urlbar.autoFill preference to change its value from true to false.

  • Stop, image, Firefox

    Hello

    I have a file in flash with 2 images and a 'Stop' script: it does not work in Firefox if there are specific images, I don't know what they have. But it works fine in Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Here is the flash file (this is a simple example):

    http://puckrules.altervista.org/example.fla

    http://puckrules.altervista.org/example.swf

    The film should go to the 'cartoon' image (image 3), but in Firefox, it stops at the green image (image 2) due to the image on the frame 3, if I use another image it works fine. Here are the problematic image:

    http://puckrules.altervista.org/1.jpg

    What is the problem?

    I have Firefox 3.6.10 (latest version) with the Flash plugin updated (10.1), on Windows XP.
