When I go on Craigslist I get a popup, don't get with IE
The popup is a "contest" where the winner wins some award. It has become impossible for me to get to Craigslist with Firefox, but IE doesn't have this problem
Do a check with some malicious software malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

When I go to connect to Craigslist I get: Safari can't verify the identity of the website "(account of craigslist)!
I tried through my google Crome, he says this: your connection is not private! The attackers may be trying to steal info...
He seemed to on other sites.
I've tried clearing cookies, then restarting.
He did this because my OS is outdated? My computer tells me that I'm up-to-date on my current operating system.
a few things that seem strange for me:
I also had the 403 forbidden message a few weeks back.
The bash terminal had a couple times on my slider too; Seemed to do on its own.
Thanks in advance for any help!
My Macbook Pro: Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 4 GB, macbook pro5, 5
The problem is due to your Mac running such a 10.6 archaic system, but you can try to use another browser like Firefox.
Apple has not updated for security for 10.6 Snow Leopard over the years.
The minimum requirement for Firefox is v10.6.
You can see if your Mac can run the new OS X v10.11 El Capitan > update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
In this way, you can have the latest version of Safari 9.1 installed so that you can access sites such as Craigslist
Google Chrome works only on Mac running v10.9 Mavericks or subsequently > https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html

When I go on craigslist and click on answer, it too will windows mail, but I want to go to my yahoo how can I do this?
Craigslist requires that you use a default mail client. Yahoo's Webmail and not an e-mail client. You may be able to get around it with this fix. If this isn't the case, you would need a Yahoo Plus account is established in Windows Mail.
How can I make Yahoo! Mail my default email application?

When I open the browser, I get an extra tab in addition to my home page that opens. I want my home page to open.
Have you checked the target line in the properties of the desktop shortcut?
You can check the suspicious extensions or recently installed unknowns.
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

Have two old CD/DVD with the old movies of family 8mm on them. When I try toopen them I get a statement that ' cannot they in format Samsung "suggestions?
that is a difficult question. Try VLC to see if it will open to them. Usually when the disc appears on the desktop, if you click on it and let go, then press the clover sheet and I (get info command), you should be able to choose which application/program can open them. I have not already heard talk of the "samsung" format, I know there is a stranger there (lie format MTS from Sony). Regarding the conversion of them, maybe MPEG streamclip or hand brake? worst case scenario, you may need to spend some money to buy a video conversion app/program
Sorry I can't help you more

You should be able to close this report and close the active tab.What I posted above is applicable to all platforms, including Mac.

When I open a window I get C:\program files\mozilla firefox\eula exe; file not found
Perform a cleaning (re) install:
- Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.

Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.
