I'm working on switching all my preferences over to Firefox because I'm sick of the IE problems I've been having. However Firefox doesn't seem to have popup blocker. How can I fix that?

I had been using Firefox for quite sometime, but that a bit of trouble and downloaded the new IE 7. After using it for a while I wanted to go back to Firefox, but could never get it to load a page while clicking on a link in an e-mail. With IE& as my default browser it will load, but when I change and make Firefox my default browser it want load for a link in Outlook Express. I still like the Firefox best, it seems to load web pages faster, but due to it not loading pages when I click on them in Outlook Express I'm not using it.

So we've had Norton for awhile and the subscription wore out. After a week or two the computer started bogging down and freezing up more than usual, and not working right. My husband uninstalled Norton and I downloaded McAfee from Comcast. Still the computer is bogging down and it shut down today twice. I defragmented as well. Surely Norton doesn't leave bugs around so you think you need to reinstall it? McAfee is trying to run a scan and it finds and removes things but then the computer shuts down and it has to start over. I'm going to try to leave it alone now so hopefully it can finish the scan. Any insight? I know Norton is a dirty six letter word for mos…

I have never owned nothing but Windows XP home, buying my first computer in August 2002, them nearly 2 years later buying this one alos with XP Home. I have never had no major problems, except the problem of messing my first computer up many times while learning how to use it. Here is an article on the new OS. http://blogs.pcworld.com/techlog/archives/001513.html What OS do you all use? Seems to me the new OS's may well be very confusing.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,412161,00.html This makes me so mad. I have had two close friends within the past two months discover porn and porn videos on their husbands' computers. For Microsoft to come out with a browser that actually hides porn from everyone is even worse. Now, people can sin without worrying that anyone has to find out. Its absolutely pathetic. I will not download IE8 that's for sure.

Ok, I was wondering if some of you computer nerds can help me out. I always lock my work computer before I leave to go home, to unlock it is only accessible by password as you all know. Well, this morning it was unlocked...this happened to be several times in the past. I think the computer guys are screwing me. What's going on??? Love, Madeline

Windows 8: Hate It Already? Why Waiting for Windows 9 Won't Help I had though deeply about going with the cheap upgrade to Windows 8. Yet from what I read that would not be an improvement to Windows 7. Perhaps if I ran around with one of those little computer things held to my face all the time Windows 8 might be welcomed, but the only thing I use is this desktop.

Mouse lock-up 1 2 3

No, I'm not talking about a criminal rodent in the Big House! I have an optical mouse. Sometimes, like every few days or once a week or so, when I go to get back on my computer after I have been away for a while, the mouse won't respond. I have to unplug the mouse and replug it in before it will work. Any ideas what is causing this and if there is a remedy, or do I just have to deal with it?

Flash issues in Firefox? 1 2 3
by Guest Guest- 36 replies

I've been having a problem with Firefox for as long as I remember; flash-based modules don't show up unless I scroll down so it is at the very top of the screen. Has anyone else had this issue? I usually keep it updated, but I've been through several releases (even FF1 did it) and nothing's changed. It also could be the Mac release; not sure what the chances of that is though.

Years have passed since my first adventure into Linux operating systems. I started out with Ubuntu. As my knowledge of Linux grew, I delved into other "Ubuntu-based" operating systems. That led me to Debian...which required a trifle bit more user-experience in order to make things work. In turn, I then went on to use even more "user-experienced" Linux operating systems...from Slackware, BSD's, Arch, and I also tried a brief stint with Gentoo (which makes Arch look like a wannabe). As my knowledge grew, I built and made available Ubuntu and Debian-based systems for others to use. It's been a grand adventure! All of that to say this... I'm back to Ubuntu, and…
