mint Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I can't seem to get firefox to work properly and I wonder if anyone else has this problem as well?I tried Chrome but the adblocker does not seem to work there and so I am using Opera.Sue, do you know of any problems with firefox? You seem to get all sorts of inside au courant information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 You could try resetting it to the default settings. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/reset-firefox-settings/Have you already tried uninstalling Firefox, downloading the latest version and reinstalling?

mint Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thank you, pomme, I shall do exactly as you have suggested. Uninstall and download again, that sounds sensible and within even my limited capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you have CCleaner or Glary Utilities it is worth running one of those (including the the registry cleaners) to try to get rid of any unwanted files/registry entries after you have uninstalled Firefox. Then reboot and reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Pomme, I haven't got very far!I tried uninstalling and I kept getting the message to say that I must make sure firefox is not running in order to uninstall. As I can't load firefox, it is OBVIOUSLY not running?How can I get past this message so that I can go ahead and uninstall?Thank you for your patience.

pomme Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you are using Windows you can use the Windows Task Manager (start it holding down the Ctrl Shift Esc keys all together) then click on Applications or Processes, find Firefox and End Task/Process to force deletion of Firefox but it is probably easier just to reboot as Firefox shouldn't start automatically.

Antiscian Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 You said adblocker didn't work on Chrome?I'm using Chrome and Adblock Plus is one of the must-have extension in my computer. If you have any problem with it, you can find more information about it on online technology magazines like PCMag, Techgara,... Besides, I don't find myself comfortable when using Firefox.

mint Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thank you for your reply. I haven't used Chrome for a while so I am not sure whether adds are still on it!I think I may have to install adblocker again on all the browsers that I use.But can you, or someone else, be kind enough to explain to me how I get sound back on Firefox? No sound at all although the speaker is on. I am talking specifically about youtube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Usually, nowadays, YouTube is muted as you open it .. so up in the top area of the YouTube screen there is a symbol with a line through it indicating that the sound has been intentionally muted. All you have to do is to left click on the icon and unblock the sound and it will leap into life ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Simple as that, huh, Sue?[:D]Thank you. Going to do it now. Maybe try one of Norman's links and maybe find one that he will like and post it.....hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
