When I download firefox it's infected, why?
When I download Firefox bookmarks appear to suffer from malware because they are reproduced thousands of times and consist mainly of unwanted bookmark I have not saved - DocuSign price and also several search favorites bookmarks, have also been reproduced without my fault. So I've not unhooked Firefox, then installed several times hoping that the duplicate bookmarks seems not - but they always do. So I'm not going to have Firefox on my PC until this problem is sorted. This same problem on my PC and my iPad with other browsers. I deleted unwanted bookmarks in Safari and Chrome with success. The original problem when my favorites have been synchronized using icloud. I now have unsynced all my browsers to eliminate this problem. I ran Norton Power eraser on my computer and found no problem. How can this problem be solved? Anyone know what causes this problem?
Please note that I don't have Firefox currently on my computer because it has the above problem. That's why I can't open the troubleshooting application you provided at the bottom of this page, or I can't do the manual steps as I am not currently in Firefox.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

When I download firefox on mac, it comes with the search toolbar I want
When I download Firefox on my Mac, I find that a search toolbar is present and I don't want to.
I deleted Firefox on my mac (even though I like it) until I can install it without the powersearch element.
Hi Selwyn,
Have you tried of going to "tools > Modules ' to remove this toolbar? The sound is like this toolbar may have been bundled with Firefox when you downloaded it. Is this true? If Yes, another option would be to delete everything in the folder support/firefox and Firefox, then download a new copy of Firefox from:

Hope this helps!

I had Firefox on my desktop and deleted from my system - clean the system. Then I tried to download Firefox again and it seems to start the download that happens really fast. Then, the screen comes up saying thanks for downloading - but the firefox.dmg is not found anywhere on my system. At no time small symbol shows himself - the time of download.
Looks like you have a download called "iGetter" software that supports the download and safari does not block the software, making the download doesn't work do not. I don't know whether or not you want this software, but you should try to uninstall it, it will probably work. Uninstall instructions are at http://www.igetter.net/downloads.html

When I download anything to my office why can I only open using firefox
I constantly save to my desktop. When I try to open another file, site, article etc I can only open it if I right click and open with Firefox
You save web pages (Save Page as...), or they are other types of files?
