YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox (MaskingAgent?) on 2015 / 01 / 08

  • YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox on 2015-01-08, let me (ATTACH) a screenshot.
  • I see that the default search engine (alias "recipes) for Firefox Google/YouTube, Yahoo has recently changed.

This is due to the extension of the masking Agent, sending deliberately incorrect sites on the browser you use. I don't know if the extension allows you to make an exception for youtube.com and ytimg.com in order to work around the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to disable the extension.

You can manage on the page extension modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then find Agent masking and check for that option button. This is also where you would turn it off.

(Often a link appears above an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click on the last step.)

As far as I know, your default search engine is invisible to Web sites, so this probably isn't a problem. Or do you want to make a change here? This article has the steps: use the Firefox search bar.

  • I need to block the use of an ipod wireless

    My 16 year old son, saved tons of money to buy her ipod and I had no idea that he could get access to the internet.  I went to great lengths to block his mobile phone over the internet, now I need the instructions step by step to block its use wireless ipod.  Help, please!

    If he uses your wireless network you can configure the password on your wireless network. Check your router manual for assistance.
    IPod was able to connect to any public Wi-Fi(depend on model)

  • Wireless router is disconnected from the PC (s) during the use of Firefox 37.0.1

    This problem occurred for the last 2 weeks whenever I use Firefox on each of the 2 PC's I use it every day. The problem may occur a few minutes after the start of Firefox, or it may be hours of continuous use before the connection is lost. It's okay if I'm in Firefox by itself or have the background applications running, but without a doubt requires Firefox runs before I see a problem.

    Configuration: WIN 8.1 and VISTA 64. the two latest updates.
    LAN: cable modem and Belkin wireless router; together with the latest firmware.
    Firefox v37.0.1 without add-ins or modules. Start page is 'empty '.

    Symptoms:
    Status bar Windows shows that I'm disconnected from the router.
    Router and the modem status LED shows that I am connected to the internet. Same thing for the VICTORY of the network status app. It shows no connection to router.

    The problem can be temporarily fixed by power cycling the router. Or, in the meantime just a random delay the connection may (or may not) be restored on its own.

    I also use a standalone PC application that streams the text given in short bursts and runs all day (no video or music... just short lines of text) with no problems until I launch Firefox in the background. Then he can go a few hours before the connection to the router is lost. I also often watch videos on my Tablet without the router problems. While typing in this issue on a PC I was disconnected from my router. I'm hoping to get some suggestions as to what to inspect or modify. Thank you!

    Fred, I had to leave the House early this morning and had no time to dig a cable long enough to reach my modem to try your suggestion. But, what I did was half of your suggestion. I pushed the reset bit recessed on the modem and left the House around 08:30 with Firefox running on both computers. Seven hours later everything is normal. No router disconnects and I gave a very good workout system.

    I have also now initial notice that connects to the web sites are faster.

    It is obviously a logical explanation for what was going on, but to an outside observer (), I see absolutely no logical link to the 'solution' for the rest of the universe. I won't lose sleep on. And I'm going to ask you more specifically when the next puzzle problem occurs! Thank you, Fred!

  • Precautions Cryptolocker are blocking the installation of firefox

    Due to the current threat of malware Cryptolocker, precautions are in place within our field that prevent the installation/update Firefox, apparently, it's because of the prohibited areas used in windows to extract and install from that location.

    Declared unauthorized zones are:

    Path: %AppData%\*.exe
    Path: %AppData%\*\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\ * .exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\*\*.exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\*\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\Rar*\*.exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\Temp\Rar*\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\7z*\*.exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\Temp\7z*\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\wz*\*.exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\Temp\wz*\*.exe

    Path Win XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\*.zip\*.exe
    Win Vista/7/8 path: %LocalAppData%\Temp\*.zip\*.exe

    Suggestions for resolution?

    Think I came up with my own solution:

    1. Download the full package from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    2. Create a new folder for me it's Firefox 25 install files
    3. Open the installer downloaded complete with 7-zip (right click on the file archive opened or 7-Zip in the menu open archive and navigate to where you downloaded the file to open it)
    4. Extract setup.exe and "Core" file above record made in step 2 (for example Firefox 25 install files)
    5. Then run setup.exe from the installation of FireFox 25 files.

    While I understood this point, someone else in my situation can not find this message or understand it, but it's a method dirty to realize the installation.

  • How can I configure the parental controls to block the use of the overnight?

    I want to prevent a child from using the phone or ipad to the text or surf the internet during the hours of 22:00 and 06:00.  Is it possible to do without having to buy an expensive app?  I don't want to trace or to block some sites.  I just want to keep the child off the unit when he's sleeping.  Thank you.

    While applications can provide you with the support you're looking for, you can see on the blocks with your cell carrier for the iPhone, and you have the option to block access to the internet at home via your router settings wireless. The simplest method, which requires no change of adjustment everywhere is to take the features of the child during these hours.

  • Satellite A210 - 11K: Vista blocks the use of IE and internet

    Hello

    I'll keep this short. I have the Satellite A210 - 11K with Vista Home Premium. Basically, when I installed SP1 and the other all other updates, use Internet Explorer and all other related programs has been blocked EXCEPT MSN Messenger, which proves that I could connect to the internet. To run the system restore, I could use internet proving that updates are the cause of the problem.

    However, I can no longer perform the system restore, and I'm stuck with SP1 and no internet.

    I tried everything Microsoft Tech Support phone for 40mins, uninstallation of different updates, play with the internet settings, change the settings in msconfig etc...

    A friend of mine who is very good with the PC found that port 80 is blocked (apparently this port is very important) and my laptop is by allowing a DNS (or something...)

    I need help so if anyone can help, thanks in advance 1 million

    Have you tried to find the solution to your internet provider?

    They should have some experience with these issues.
    To be honest I don't see the connection between the laptop to the manufacturer and your problem and I think you should contact your internet service provider. It must be a problem with the settings.

  • "The product key you entered has been blocked the use of Microsoft. I have a NEW Windows 7 Ultimate package of software with 32 and 64 bit and cannot activate it.

    I have a computer built house with an AMD Phenom II X 3 Black Edition CPU and an ASUS M4A78T-E motherboard.  I originally had Vista 32 bit Ultimate Win7 installed and running and has purchased and researched and installed the 64 bit version and received a message that the key has been blocked by Microsoft.  I contacted the person I bought the package from and he has verified that the key is good with Microsoft.
