I don't know if I like it or not. I had to go to you tube to see how to load Ad Blocker. The down load sites had so many ads on them and they kept switching me to different add ons. Anyone out there use it and how about some tips. Not the oner from the Rabbi :lmfao:

I use Firefox and AdBlocker. Specifics I cannot give because I don't know much about how to make it do what I want it to. I first spent hours trying to get it right way back when first get each new box and it just continues.
I only really use firefox because most others use a MS product and the majority of viruses only work for that. So I hear and have been told. Don't know if accurate or not but thats what I hear.
AdBlock is pretty easy just set it up and tell it to block everything. Simple step through to make it do so.
Hope that helps but I am past computer illiterate to computer idiot level.

...and how about some tips.
I'm somewhat familiar with FF. Please be more specific about what you want to know/do?
As for AdBlock, simply go here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=hp-dl-mostpopular
Then click "add to firefox." Then follow the prompts from there. The default settings work fine.
I attached a screenshot of the add-ons that I currently use, some of them may interest you. Most of them replace features that used to be standard on FF and/or YT... but they've f'ed up over the years. Just type the add-on name(s) in the search box at the site I linked above.
To see a list of, and control your add-ons (disable, preferences, remove)....look at the very top of your screen (when in FF): Click Tools > Add-Ons > Extensions
ANOTHER THING...FF's default navigation bar's layout sucks. Look to the far right of the navigation bar for the small box with 3 horizontal lines (says "open menu" when you put the cursor on it.) Click it, then click "+Customize" at the bottom of the pop-up menu. A tab will open up in which you can rearrange, add, remove items to and from the navigation bar by simply dragging the items to where ever you like. Certain add-ons will provide their own item/icon/interface which can be found in this tab...for you to place where ever you like. Remember to click "exit customize" (bottom right/green) when you're finished.

Boy has Firefox screwed up my computor. First I couldn't print anything and after I tried to reinstall my printer it won't allow me to. I get "error 1316" and it says specified account alreadt exists. I Googled and Binged it and all I get is someone trying to sell me a registry fix program. I have CCleaner and Registry Fix already installed. Microsoft says it isn't thier problem. I removed Firefox and tried everything again to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

I gave up on Firefox and use Chrome. Must add FlashBlock to it to stop auto playing videos.

did you delete the files or uninstall them?
if you deleted them the system is looking for a file that isn't there any longer.
if you uninstalled them, your java or other plugin if fubar and needs to be reloaded too.

not much help - but what i know.
