FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 20, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 20, 2015 It takes me to the same page as above. Strange. I get a proxy error from the link proxy we use. I bet it's because of Firefox. I've been having a load of problems with it lately. Time to go to IE 100% now. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted February 20, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 20, 2015 I'm probably not seeing it because I only use IE.

donetao Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Huh? That's strange! What else would you expect from donetao. I've always been strange. Clicking on topics on the forum seem slower that usual???? When I click on here, it takes me the Google link. When I click on this here it takes me to speedtest.

donetao Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 When you click on what, Gary? This link you have is the results of a speed test. OK The red here!! in my above reply! I just threw in my speed test to confuse you!!:big_ha: Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted February 20, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 20, 2015 Do you mean that it takes you to the speed test results instead of to Google ads? It sounds like you have a malware type of problem if you are getting redirects.

donetao Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 No Cindy I'm not having redirects. I'm not having any problems. My puter is running just fine!! Please read my above reply. I think I have it all cleared up! :bunny: Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(

GimboV Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Well that link won't work because it is an "ad" hence the ad.doubleclick.net address. If it was a newegg address it would work fine or wherever the link goes.

Rich-M Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I know that Cindy. I go back and forth between Pale Moon and Chrome whenever the issues stack to high I move to Pale Moon which still has only one issue and that is pdf files some of the time. If they would solve that I would stay there because it is a great browser. Quote
Rich-M Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Oh for goodness sakes talk about feeling stupid.....I just went into Pale Moon Tools, Applications, and set all potential pdf files to Adobe Reader and that solved every pdf issue I had and I cannot believe what those functions were actually set to so I can go back to Pale Moon now. And the answer to Ad Muncher is use "Duck Duck Go" for Search Engine in it and then I don't have the issue with Ad Muncher and searching with so I am thinking of dumping Adblock Plus now. Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted February 21, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 21, 2015 I'm glad that you have finally gotten your PDF problems solved. I did dump Ad Block plus once I saw that Ad Muncher was not giving me any problems.

donetao Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hi! Don't think I want to give up my Google search engine. Google has been my friend for a very long time. Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(

FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted February 21, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 21, 2015 Google, only ever Google. It is the only Google product I do use. I won't use Google chrome or Gmail. 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
Rich-M Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I agree on Google for searches no question it is the best but if I can work with Ad Muncher I would prefer to run Duckduckgo which is very similar to Google in terms of its abilities. And no ads whatsoever with duckduckgo unlike Google that constantly either puts a row on the right of useless leads or the first two which are always ads you have to avoid. You can always switch back easily in Pale Moon anyway if you want to compare as I love the separate built in search bar, that enables that so easily.DuckduckGo is default search engine on Pale Moon which is where I found it though I think N3 was pushing it a while ago.
