Redirects 10 REPLIES 1 HAS THIS PROBLEM 18 VIEWS LAST REPLY BY HAPPY112 2 WEEKS AGO

dianet

dianet Posted 7/16/17, 5:18 PM When using some sites, there are many redirects and I even get a new fire fox page. Why and how can I fix this?


I am using a Hewlett-Packard - HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4 with windows 10 64 bit operating system. Extensions: Adblocker Plus and ZenMate Security, and unblock VPN Plugins: OpenH264 Video Codec

              Shockwave Flash 26.0
              Widevine Content Decryption

When I go to primewire.ag, ,watchfree.to, putlocker.today, etc and click on a tv show a new smaller firefox page opens, or some other site that I DID NOT CLICK ON.

I have followed to the letter all the remedies I have received from your TOP Contributor Happy 112 and Nothing is working.

Every single time i go to a web site using Firefox I get redirects to other sites. If I'm using ZenMate the redirects are to English sites. If I'm not using ZenMate I get redirects to Thai web pages.

Now my question to Firefox 1. can this be fixed? 2. How do totally uninstall FireFox and reinstall it with none of my bookmarks and no extensions?

Please help Diane

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Okay. You did not follow all of the instructions I posted. But don't worry about it. I posted the data I wanted.

Opps, the instructions I posted were for the other forum. Sorry :-(

Happy112 asked you to check for malware. Have you done so?

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

Happy112, I did everything you suggested and it didn't work. Fred was only trying to be more helpful to this 66 year old American woman living in Bangkok. So, if you have any other ideas let's hear them. Diane

So everyone knows I uninstalled firefox's two folders and then did a computer search for everything with Mozilla and Firefox and deleted everything that appeared in the search screen on my windows 10 64 bit HP laptop.

I am using only Chrome to watch my American TV shows and am having no redirects or popups. And I'm still using adblocker plus and zenmate, Happy will this help you?

Happy 112, thank you. If you have any other ideas please let me know, Right now I need all the help I can get. Diane

I sincerely hope that somebody with better working braincells than mine will come to your rescue.

Happy112 I use ZenMate VPN and I read what you sent to Fred. When I don't use zenmate the redirects are in Thai but if I am using zenmate the redirects are only in English. Can you suggest another free VPN service that you feel is safe? Again thank you Diane

I know   -   all of this must be very frustrating. Am I to understand that, using Firefox only, you still get redirected and you now get pop-ups as well  ? Would it be at all possible for you to provide a screenshot, like cor-el asked you before   ? Or maybe give us a link (the URL) to the page you get redirected to  ?

Another thing that comes to mind : When you disable ZenMate you of course get Thai pages,   but : do you still get redirected when you're not using ZenMate   ?

It was just a 'gut-feeling' I had about ZenMate .....   (and my 'gut-feelings' aren't always right)

Meanwhile, I've been searching for alternatives, and this is what I found :
