Vuze for mac os x lion how to#

I looked up how to completely uninstall Firefox, and did so (opened finder and searched for it, found and included the system files, tossed everything in the trash and emptied it), but when I reinstalled, all of my previous data was there (extensions, cookies, historyвЂ¦ I was even still logged in to some sites).

I thought uninstalling and then reinstalling the browsers might help. I checked the advanced settings, and pop-ups are allowed for all sites, so what gives? However, in Chrome, when I am on Amazon (which is often), I cannot click the вЂњLook InsideвЂќ button for books, nor will clicking on the thumbnail photos under an itemвЂ™s main photo open those thumbnails as larger photos in a pop-up. These pages always work just fine in Chrome, though. Each time, the tab says вЂњDNS Solution Yahoo ErrorвЂќ.

But now, pages in Firefox are often redirected to Yahoo, and it is impossible to stop this. Most of this was easy to fix right away, just by removing extensions and re-setting home pages and default search engines. Unfortunately, Vuze is just a total piece of shit, and the reinstall added a bunch of junk to my browsers (Chrome and Firefox). I thought if I reinstalled Vuze and was careful to refuse every last add-on this time, all would be well. I couldnвЂ™t force the installer to quit, so I did a hard shut down. I figured I must have not unchecked all of the boxes for the crappy add-on software. Though I chose to refuse all add-ons, it began installing them. It had been bugging me about an update for about a week. So, this all started when I finally updated Vuze. Anyways, now I am on a MacBook Pro (10.7.5), and something has gone terribly awry. I was using Vuze eight years ago when it was called Azureus and I was on a PC. IвЂ™ve been using torrents for years and I have never had a problem.
