• Bing has hijacked my browser interface. How do I return google?

  Bing has slipped somewhat on the browser, probably when I installed the new software. Now miss me some of the buttons that I usually replaced by the stupid bing toolbar. I hate bing, it is useless for me. Do I need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall? I can not even find my favorites now. Others that Java and WOT, I usually don't have much in the way of plug-ins
  I use Win7 and Firefox 3 something

  I have the years NoScript module used to block Bing. Then, I used the option "Manage search engines" and removed Bing as a search option. The dialog box irritating browser hijack disappeared (so far). Hope this helps

• Don't want to ' click me ' who has hijacked my browser

  The best thing about firefox is that he did not force unwanted shite on your computer, taking forever to get shot of for a computer numpty like me.
  Unfortunately now we have ' click me '. I don't want to click on you; I never play computer games. Why not ask me if I want this absolute crap before I force you on me? Just remove it from my computer that I can't do it, but you put there so that you can. Thank you very much.

  That game Click Me part of the promotion of the Humble Bundle of Mozilla on the default Home Page [subject: House], which loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" section (DIV) of about: House. A feature that has been used in Firefox 29 [IDE] just before the start of the Olympic Games.

  Also, part of this promotion is addressed in the "excerpt" under the container of the research on the topic: homepage.

  If you want to prevent the section "Brand Logo" (and the "snippet" under the reservoir of research) never to be seen again, you can install this UserStyle and elegant. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo

  Or set a different Home Page.

• I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

  Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1

  It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

  And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

  Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

  Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

• My Yahoo homepage hijacking

  I searched all night, passing through the old posts, and I can't seem to find how to stop Yahoo as my default browser. I changed the settings in the subject: config, I hit the perf.js. I removed the other search engines from the pool of search engine in the browser's settings section. I am at a loss, and it's driving me crazy. I'm on version 40, on Windows 10.

  Let's separate some different potential problems:

  • You want to change your default address bar search engine, search bar, built-in home bar bar page tab and click on search. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > search, top
    
    Firefox will allow you to change this setting and it works when you're looking for?
  • You want to change your home page, the page that appears if you click the home button or start a new window using Ctrl + n. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general
    
    Firefox ignores your choice here?
  • Another page loads at startup, other than your designated home page. This can be caused by a bad add-on or a hijacked desktop shortcut. (To check the shortcut, do a right click, then properties. On the shortcut tab, check the target, it should have all the addresses at the end, just "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")

  To investigate a bad add-on, I suggest:

  (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. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. 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 Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  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. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  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.

  Success?

  (4), check your connection here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  Click the mini network, then on the button "settings". The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should piggyback on your LAN-Windows/IE setting, or 'No proxy', you can try to see if that helps.

• Adobe has hijacked my Lightroom

  First of all, let me say that I'm NOT a fan of Adobe. Sorry if that bothers you, but that's how it is.

  As a user of long-time opening on my iMac, it became clear when Apple decides to not upgrade this app than anything more that I needed to find a different software for processing my photos in RAW. I spoke with many people and in the end, with great reluctance, I bought a hard copy (disk) of 5 Lightroom. Good that I had never really used that I even had an upgrade for it Adobe, it was made available (5.5 or something like that). I used my license and messed up her a little bit, but he put aside for a few months, when I knew that I would have a long period of time to really learn the software. In the meantime, I continued to use the opening.

  In any case, for me, the first step in learning Lightroom was a Webinar from third parties a few months back which discusses using the new features in Lightroom 6 (this was before 6 being released) in conjunction with the photo of on1 software. Part of the requirement to access the webinar was to download Lightroom 5 CC, I did. My 30 day trial with Lightroom CC is long and now my period, I decided to learn Lightroom arrived. But when I open it, the software tells me that my access has expired and I need to renew my subscription. I don't want to use CC, I want to use the paper version I bought. I am afraid to delete Lightroom and then try to reinstall from my drive hard copy because I fear that Adobe will say that I had already used this license and no longer use it.

  I would like to know how to get rid of the CC with Lightroom version and be able use the paper version, I had already downloaded it on my iMac. I think that Adobe has hijacked my paper and I threw money not buy their products. I want to just use it instead of going to another provider for treatment of photos.  Is it possible to do?

  Joe:

  Thanks a lot for your answer. I had actually solved the problem myself before receiving your response. I not unhooked the drive CC and it went on the web site of Adobe and reinstalled the 5.7.1 update. It worked. You're totally right how hard Adobe makes for their clients.

  Once again, thanks for getting back to me.
