If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

  • Pop-up window opens when firefox is open. Cannot close to use the browser. How can I get rid of this?

    There is no text in the pop-up window, and when I click outside the window, there is a tone 'error' that plays. The only way I can close Firefox is to open the Task Manager and end task. I deleted Firefox on my computer and reinstalled, and it has not solved the problem. Included is a screenshot of what it looks like.

    This can result from the AOL toolbar.

    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.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • When I go into options I can't access "content" so I can't make changes to the pop-up windows

    I have been making a large number of pop-up windows and you want to check if I clicked block pop-up windows, but I can't access the tab "content" under options. I can click on the other tabs, but the 'content' tab just shows the last tab, on that I clicked...

    One of the reasons a lot of pop ups is a bad add-on. I suggest starting your cleaning here:

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, 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?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  • Firefox refuses to stop the blocking of pop-up windows - up, even with added exceptions and blocker completely disabled.

    I work in a facility that uses a corporate intranet to access our database. The database uses windows pop up widely important information. Problem is that Firefox absolutely will NOT stop block popup windows no matter what I try. At first I added our database server to the list of exceptions. It worked for a while, but soon after resumption of the important pop-up blocking. I then completely disabled the blocking of popup windows (options > > content > > unchecked "block popup windows"). It did not work until I closed and reopened Firefox. A week later (today!), Firefox takes over again blocking the pop-up windows. I double checked my settings to confirm that Firefox still claims to have the popup blocker off.
    At this point, I am at a loss on how to proceed. I looked at other issues similar and my frustration (and certainly their even more), individuals requesting repeatedly told them to turn off the blocker of popups even after explaining that they already have. Help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks for the description of the Firefox Safe Mode. I just thought that Safe Mode is a condition under which we could launch Windows XP in a minimal operating system by starting a startup sequence, hold down the F8 key and effectively manage the prrams troubleshooting and maintenance for Windows. It seems that the Windows XP of Firefox version could run not affected by a virus, a worm or other malware, and ge fixed.

    Please try this Linux distribution. They are many, and I'm a fan.

  • White pop-up windows

    When I click on a link to a pop-up window, the windows are always empty! I even shot blocking (which has never been a question for all these years I used Firefox), but no difference. It would be perhaps due to the Mavericks?

    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.
  • (Legitimate) -Pop-up Windows every time you start Firefox

    So, lately every time I start Firefox, the new browsing session retrieves the pop-up windows during previous sessions (since the last time or even some of love it, three days ago), I long closed down. My boot option was always "show my windows and tabs from last time ' who used to do exactly this: pick up the tabs I had open or start with a new blank tab if I had opened. Now, however, whenever I open FIrefox I get different windows of previous sessions.
    The problem here is that this doesn't SEEM to be a malware issue because I don't get weird ad/questionable windows but "legitimate" pop ups I me remember I started personally is to say a photo or an image of a trusted site that opened in a new window or a help section on amazon.com , etc.
    This is a first and as you can imagine it has become very annoying. I use Firefox 25.0.1.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Hello waydown, maybe the files in your profile folder that contain session restroe data was corrupted - perhaps trying to remove them, so that they can get regenerated properly next time: go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open up - in there remove all files starting with sessionstore ...

  • The Web site address does not appear on the pop-up window

    Hello

    I am running Firefox 19.0.2 on a Win 7 64 bit PC version and have noticed that on the pop-up windows, when the address bar is present, I get the message "go to a Web Site" on it rather than the address of the Web site. If I click with the right button on the icon of the little world on the address bar and choose Customize and then close this window without making any changes, the address of the site is full. Does anyone know how to get the address of the site to automatically display on the popup? My PC Win XP Pro is not this problem and popups always display the address of the Web site without having to do anything.

    Thank you

  • When Firefox opens a pop-up window with a Web site, it comes up blank - what to do?

    It happened when I was on the site of Medicare, I think also when I tried to print an invoice in Amazon, and a Web site, I use all the time that I subscribe to-normally Firefox opens a new window with the information, but the window with the blue in the looking albums bar as I could get into a website to go , but it won't be the same white, let me do that - everything is non-functional. I tried enabling the pop-up windows, but that did not help. This has happened once before and I had to reset the whole thing, which has been a major concern. I really want to do so I hope someone can help!

  • I get a pop up window that says 'URL cannot load. What gives?

    At random, well-known sites, I randomly get a pop up window that says: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." Firefox loads the site but I have to click outside the pop-up to go forward.

    What gives? I am running Windows 7 on a new computer HP laptop

    If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.

    You can use "Disable all add-ons" window the startup of Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to disable all extensions.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change via "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')
