When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this
When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
Thank you
captjackSorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:
- CTRL + n (start a new window)
- Click on the Home icon in the toolbar
If Yes:
You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:
If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.
If not:
Sometimes problems occur only at startup.
- If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
- If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.

Flash Player is spamming my computer with ads... How can I stop this?
How can I prevent the Flash Player I spammed with ads? I uninstalled it but it persists. Right-clicking the advertisement identifies the flash player and takes me to a page of settings. Any ideas?
To be 100% accurate... Flash Player IS NOT do spamming.
You're infected with "adware" and it is in USING Flash Player to bombard you, but Flash Player is the only vehicle, NOT the culprit.
Run a COMPLETE for malware analysis.

Hello. Accidentally, I bought the Adobe Lightroom 6 box set (CD ROM) support when I need to download the application. I opened the package and now can not return it. Is there a way I can be provided with a license so that I can download the software and avoid paying twice for the product? I can return the package open, if necessary. He was ordered on Amazon.ca. Thank you

My sony vaio laptop running windows vista has completed an automatic update and after that, I can't connect to my wireless network, I can access the internet with an ethernet cable.
It worked perfectly fine before the update, I know that there is a problem with what I had the same problem in the past. The way it's been solved previously was to restore the laptop to an earlier point before the end of the update. Unfortunately I can't do that and the laptop has been completed, wiped and there is no backup where I can go to restore.
I know I can remove some updates but don't know what 1, me it is another way to solve the problem.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Hi Nadzarif,
You can try the following steps and check if it helps:
Method 1:
Because the wireless stopped working after windows update, you can check the Sony support link and try to install the latest version of the drivers for the wireless card and check if it helps:
For more information, see the article:
Update drivers: recommended links
Method 2:
Updated version has a problem in the history of the update.
Step 1:
You can check in the history of the update for the updates that are installed recently or before the show.
a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
(b) in the left pane, click view update history.
c. to display more information about an update, double-click it.
See the Windows updates are installed
Step 2:
Uninstall recently installed updates and install the updates one at a time to understand what update is the cause of the problem.

Hi, I have problems with my PC (Windows Vista) mothers. Margot opened the narrator and now it starts automatically when it restarts or logs and new. How can she stop it? I tried msconfig but can't find it. It is very annoying as Margot does not use it and need to close whenever it connects. I tried everything to stop it in the help files.
Thank you for your time, Kaye Young... :) -

Could you please confirm the operating system you are using.

I exported my Premium Pro movie to a .m2v file. When I try to open a new project so that I can create a DVD file and I can choose the .m2v file, it is grayed out. Also, if I double click on the .m2v file, it opens, but will not play and seems to be locked or frozen. What can I do?
Again, you use "import as" assets or timeline?
