How do I prevent lost devices tabs from appearing in sync drawer?

Hi,
Linked Firefox Sync accounts that are no longer in use--or useable--still appear in the synced tabs drawer in Firefox for Android as different groups of tabs under corresponding device names.
This is despite trying to fix the issue by changing the account password from one device (PC) I still use and deleting my account/setting it up on Firefox for Android again with the new password.
It seems Firefox for Android (or the Firefox Sync system generally) syncs tabs from offline devices linked to the same email address, despite them not being set-up using the same password.
Whether this is by design, something not anticipated or just a bug, it makes it very tedious to scroll through the list of tabs from unwanted "devices" (actually, previous Firefox installations on my current PC, wiped along with entire drive during system reinstall) in order to find tabs directly under the device name corresponding to the current Firefox installation on my PC.
I'm prepared to delete the entire account and de-associate all my devices at once, and start fresh, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Hi sqph,
Thank you for your question, I understand that there is an issue with synced tabs on devices that no longer should be attached to the sync account.
Unfortunately there currently is no way to mange individual sync profiles fro specific devices. The device will be detached if another user tries to connect the old device to the attached account because the cookie will expire. However the data that has synced will still show up on other devices.
A fresh start is possible, I am currently asking if this is expected.

  • When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

    To all,
    After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
    Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
    But I whine and digress from my problem:
    QUESTION:
    When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
    With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
    Thank you,
    Matt

    As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
    Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?

    When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

  • How do you prevent MS-DOS window from appearing during Runtime.exec()?

    The question below was attached to the answer for Question of the Week No. 21. I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the answer? Put another way does anyone know how javaw does it?

    On Windows NT 4.0, how can I prevent CreateProcess()
    from creating a cmd.exe window when using javaw and
    Runtime.exec()? No such cmd.exe window is created if
    instead I run "java" from the command line.
    I have a C++ server named "foo", and have created
    a Java applcation with Swing GUI named "foo.java".
    This GUI captures configuration information and
    then uses Runtime.exec() to start the C++ app, with
    a socket established between the Java app and C++
    app for later communication.
    This is all working fine, and the Java application
    and GUI working as expected. When I run "java foo"
    from either the NT command shell (cmd.exe) or MKS
    Korn shell (sh.exe) the Java application/GUI starts,
    and when it calls Runtime.exec() my C++ process is
    started as what appears to be a child process of the
    "java" process, that is, no cmd.exe window is created
    during the Runtime.exec("foo.exe") call.
    However, when running the same Java application from
    a shortcut on the desktop via "javaw", when I invoke
    Runtime.exec() a cmd.exe window is created before my
    C++ server is started. While things are running
    ok and my Java app can still communicate with my
    C++ server, is there anyway I can prevent this
    cmd.exe window from being created, and instead, have
    my C++ server run as a child process of javaw (or
    an independent process without a cmd.exe)?

    cmd always opens a dos window - use another console interpreter instead or just call the programm directly.
    i.e.
    Runetime.exec("c:\\myprogram.exe");
    OR
    The following demonstrates executing a command without bringing up a popup. import java.io.*;
    public class Test {
      public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
        String[] command = {
          "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "/y", "/c",
          "dir"};
        Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
        InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
        String line;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
          System.out.println(line);
    }However....
    According to bug number 4244515 in Sun's Bug Parade (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4244515.html), javaw doesn't always work without bringing up new window.

  • How do I stop a new tab from appearing that tells me to update to the latest verson of a video player.

    This tab comes up every time I start Firefox, and often several times in a row.

    This can be caused by a bad add-on or other malware. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it looks:
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • How do I prevent single-page PDFs from appearing inline in the email body?

    When someone sends me a multiple page PDF, the email contains an attachment icon.  When I click on the icon, the PDF is opened full-screen.  When I click on the screen, icons appear including a box with an arrow pointing up.  Clicking on this icon, lets me send the PDF to other applications such as iBooks. 
    When someone sends me a single-page PDF, the PDF is displayed inline in the body of the email and I do not see a way to send the PDF to other applications.  Is there a way to view the PDF full-screen and thus send the document to other applications?
    I have the new iPad (v3) running iOS 7. 

    What you are experience is totally normal and the expected behavior for a single page PDF as an attachment in an email. You can easily save it to another app by simply tapping and holding down on the open PDF and the Open In window will pop up. It may take a little practice but it does work. Just tap and hold down on the open PDF.

  • How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

    How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

    Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it

    on DRM protection.

  • If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

    If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

    Simple answer:
    do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
    You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
    Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
    bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
    OR
    in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
    click on 'Edit'
    deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
    So the details are wrong and cannot send.

  • How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

    I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.
