How do I stop the Plugin Status screen from coming up every time I open Firefox?

I get a screen asking me to update or delete a list of plug ins. I don't want to see this every time I open Firefox.

Updating your Plugin programs would get rid of that "nag" page when you open Firefox.
Both Java and Flash received updates this past week.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • How do I stop the "Better Privacy" help page coming up every time I open Firefox and while browsing?

    The "Better Privacy" help page opens as a separate tab every time I open Firefox. I close it, but it keeps coming back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking a link or using a bookmark) and at seemingly random intervals while I'm browsing.
    chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
    I'm sure it's not malware, but it's driving me mad. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
    I don't want to disable Better Privacy, but I'm often tempted to do so.
    I'm using (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.

    Check the Home page setting:
    *Edit > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • How do I remove the "Restore Session" page that comes up every time I open Firefox, Even by quitting it properly?

    Ever since I upgraded to v20 of Firefox a problem has occurred where I will close Firefox properly (close browser and then quit application as I am on a Mac) but when I open it again I will get a message. This message is "Oh this is embarrassing..." and try to get me to reopen my tabs I had before. This will also happen if I have just one tab open and then close it. I was wondering if there is a way to fix it!

    Hi susiqw, it's hard to see when the text is all written as a single sentence, but the steps are:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false.

  • 993 How do I stop the Mozilla Tour page from coming up whenever I open my browser. Just want the home page

    Whenever I open my browser I get a tab with my home page and a Mozilla tour sync etc tab. I don't want the Mozilla page.

    Hi there,
    Understood! We don't like being bombarded with advertising any more than you do.
    If this is happening every time you open Firefox, it might be that Mozilla tab has also been set as your homepage.
    To check this:
    # Click the menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] button, press ''Options''
    # On the ''General'' page you'll a box labelled ''Home Page''
    # If the Mozilla web address is included in that home page box, delete it.
    Let us know if this fixes the issue. Cheers!

  • How do I stop the Plugin Check page from appearing?

    Firefox 3.6.17, Win2K. Don't laugh at the OS, it just works.
    But I get the Plugin Check page every time I start Firefox. It doesn't help, because I have the most recent versions of all my plugins that support Win2K. I just *cannot* update my plugins.
    How do I kill off this screen?
    Well, you know, short of removing Firefox forever.

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' -- if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • I intend to stick with Windows 2000. How can I stop the "URGENT !" nag from coming up whenever I open Firefox?

    I'm using Windows2000.. Some of my key software is not compatible Windows XP or 7 therefore I don't intend to upgrade or change. I just want to get rid of that damn "URGENT !! " popup nag that appears every time I access Firefox. I'm sure there are others that have the same problem. Is there a solution?

    You can disable or uninstall the Firefox Notification Hotfix 20120430.01 extension.

  • How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

    There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

    If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

    Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • How can i stop the same 800 emails from coming back? Each time a new one comes in, the same 800 re appear, I've deleted them so many times already.

    Every time I get a new email, I get about 800+older ones with it. I delete them, get a new email and the same 800 keep coming back. Ran a MAC Boost which said i had 76 issues-37 being malwares but it didn't fix the email problem. Help?

    Howdy Robert
    I'll tell ys where MacBoost was found (I blew right by it since all it did was "report" according to the OP) = softonic, cnet, etc. - or its creator

    "Toolwiz Mac Boost. Most effective boost solutions & Extreme easy to use. One click to clean up your entire Mac. Empty all of trashes on your Mac"
    The deluge of the 800 must not be a big problem as OP posted and hasn't returned

  • How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

    I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display.  When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on.  I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this.  Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want.  It's done the same thing several times.  My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this.  When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare.  The screen stayed off.
    When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call.  It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging.  And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
    I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely.  I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on.  How can I fix this?  If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store.  I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.
