Why Firefox suddenly adds things (e.g. toolbars special) without my explicit acceptance, and how it stop?
Firefox you always tell me when it will be an update and ask if I wanted to accept an add-on or toolbar included with the update. Now, it seems that it is automatically updated and including the toolbars and modules without asking me. How do I change the settings so I can stop this?
Hello, firefox updates never include toolbars or other unwanted programs - please always download firefox from the original location to getfirefox.com.
you might have a problem with adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Why firefox usually allows to download the toolbar for farmville zynga?
Why firefox used let me download the zynga for farmville toolbar? Please tell me how to get past allow and download?
This has happened

I tried to download zynga toolbar all night
User Agent
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)
Hello Beth.
I must inform you that (as directed by your user agent string), you use Internet Explorer 8 for the moment, not Firefox. I hope that you are aware of this.
On the toolbar, you sure it's the download which is the problem and not the installation? The toolbar may be browser specific (for example, it can work only on Internet Explorer), so if it is the facility that gives you trouble, you should contact the author of the toolbar for support.
If it is the download that is problematic, you can have a problem with an extension or plugin that is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Why drive letter external for the reasigns Windows Vista and how to stop it from happening
I have Windows Vista Home Premium with the latest service packs and updates installed on my machine.
From time to time, when I connect the external USB HDD, previously assigned letter of Exchange to another.
After that the media library files and setup do not work properly. I have to manually assign.Why this is happening and more important How to stop from happening at all in the first place?
Thanks in advance
Windows assigns the next available drive letter when you connect an external drive. During his previous letter assigned is no longer available it will be assigned the next drive letter. I have an external hard drive with three partitions, I assigned the letters X, Y and Z, whenever I connect the drive on my laptop, it will display the letters that are always available.
Change, add, or remove a drive letter

I've been using the latest version of FF and last week, the browser froze and when I restarted it was completely empty. I went through the help section, tried to uninstall manually by deleting files and reinstall several different versions, but the only one that will work at this point is 3.6.28. Your help sections and non-existent customer service SUCK - I don't have days/hours to mess with this and will completely abandon FF if adequate assistance is not received quickly.
Who did the trick - thanks! I think it's only something called Codec-C, identified by Mozilla as malware on 29/10/12.
