What is 'supply mosquito' and why it reload automatically to my list of Add-ons every time that I reboot

There is a good bit of wisdom in the old expression, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." You could reduce the number of updates at least 50% if you would just fix things which ARE 'broken', and, whenever you update FF, it causes another set of problems that I am having trouble. The most recent is a add-on called "offer mosquito" that is automatically added to my list of Add-ons. I have delete - not disable, DELETE - the next time that I reboot it comes back. I am more as more than just a little bit tired to do... How can I get rid of it for good?

With the help of 25.0 FF on PC under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Hello Goodolgal, the behavior you have described is not caused by an update of firefox but with adware/malware on your pc. Please run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

  • Why my Windows 7 theme keep changing every time that I reboot?

    I recently bought a laptop Acer Ferrari One with pre-installed Windows 7. I have customized the Windows 7 theme, but every time I turn off reset them to the default desktop background settings when I switich it turn it back on. The other parameters remain the same as the color of the sounds, screensaver and window, but why change my wallpaper? I saved the theme I created and continually delete one keep the laptop automatically create by default. How to stop? Is it possible that I can do my default theme?

    Thank you

    I experienced the same problem, but this solved it for me.

    Go to regedit > HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > DWM

    Once in DWM, right-click on an empty area inside it and create two new DWORD value (32), as shown below.

    Blur

    Animations

    Once these are added, right-click on them and click on change to ensure that the value is set to 0. Then open cmd (command prompt) as an administrator.  -Windows 7 users can open quickly as administrator by typing cmd in the start menu search box, and then shift + right click on the command prompt > open as administrator

    net stop uxsms

    net start uxsms

    __________________________________

    Once those who are made, open the start menu and right click on computer > properties.

    Go to advanced system settings. On the Advanced tab, click settings under performance. Change the default to Custom, and then hit apply and OK.

    You may need to disable a list item to hit apply, but double-check it after hitting apply first and then re - re-check the list item and click on apply. This will prevent the computer to change the custom to 'let windows choose what's best for my computer.

    This will fix the problem. Looks like a lot to do, but really, it isn't and is easy.

  • New Firefox, will not save the homepage and will open and display all add-ons every time!

    Okay - years old now, I used Firefox ONLY - he had the best extensions and modules from any other browser out there. Add to that, it is safe and very fast. This is my default browser.

    This week I logged on my DeviantArt site and odd ads began to appear in the lower corners left and right of the browser, unlike what I'd never seen before. Add to that, they were very inappropriate. So I guess something was wrong and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I got "bugs" the origin of the problems. And of course, there was a kind of nasty bug in Firefox, causing all sorts of questions.

    So, following the suggestions to fix, as well as the suggestions on here, I uninstalled Firefox (21) and then reinstalled the new version, 23. At first, I thought, ' Wow, this is really very fast! When I opened Firefox it does not go to my home page, he went to the Firefox start page, as well as the opening of the tabs for EACH add-on and extension!

    Yes, open tools, Options and reset the home page of my homepage, https://www.google.com

    Simple and something I've done before. I'm a geek and have worked on my own additions. Set up my home page, has been working in Firefox and went to youtube to download a video it would not! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings and voila! No problems!

    So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. It was last night. This morning, I start the computer and the first thing we do is to open Firefox. And what happens? Oh, Yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I wanted TO! It's back to the start page of Firefox, and it opens tabs for EACH SINGLE module!

    Holy carp, tired now. So I research of 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so a little more than 5 hours, that I keep trying to fix it based on instructions of Firefox. Go to topic: config, work on channels, change the info from the home page, etc. Save it. Return to tools, Options, and there is my home page. Close Firefox and open and what the heck? Once again, back to where it was, opening, as if I just downloaded this browser. Now, I spent literally HOURS trying to solve this problem and I am so frustrated that I'm almost ready to uninstall it! My one complaint is that I've looked everywhere to try to find this same problem and it does not. Is true, I am the only one having this weird problem?

    You can reset firefox?

  • Firefox crashes almost every time that I try to attach a document. Why?

    I just had a new PC from Dell XPS Dimension w/Win 8.1. She doesn't have Firefox, so I downloaded (version 29.0.1).

    Almost every time that I try to attach a document, for example, a photo or other file, Firefox crashes. The accident occurred when I double-click on the directory or folder that contains the document I want to join. I presented in reports half a dozen incidents in recent days.

    Instead of double-click, I tried everything just clicking once on the button that appears when I OPEN request to attach a document. This reduces the frequency of accidents, but did not eliminate them.

    Accidents that occurred when I was trying to attach a document to an email in yahoo mail. The accidents have also occurred when I was trying to add a photo to an article I wrote for Examiner.co using their publishing tool.

    I just changed from Windows XP. DO Firefox crashed when I tried to do in XP.

    I tried to reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer 11, which came with my PC. I was not able to reproduce the problem with the Explorer.

    What is going on?

    I could not identify a reason for the accident. Now, I try to reproduce your crash on Yahoo for the setting of a document.
    Other users have reported than the update of Java fixed the problem. (reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../949408) Please update Java in the current version

    You can also download CCleaner to destroy things that are no longer necessary and can cause problems. Just use the Windows section, do not delete anything since Firefox while CClaner because it can screw with your installation of Firefox.

    EDIT: Thank you to fill out a bug if the steps above do not work
    In following one of your incident reports, you can file a new bug (example: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/repor.../203cb33a-9193-4586-b7dd-79d0a2140529) scrolling up to the where it says
    Bugzilla | File this bug in Firefox | Core | Plugins | Tools

    Select Firefox. a new window load, you need to create a Bugzilla account to fill out a bug report. Once you have done this, simply fill out the description of the best that you can. Please try to be as detailed as possible. What were you doing in the crash, how many times it happens, etc. because this will help the developers.
