Is there a way to block add-ons from being installed in Firefox, even add-ons coming from 3rd party sites?

I work in a small call center and I have been working on trying to convince IT and management to use Firefox on the computers on the call floor. The main issue I have been having in convincing them, is that you can't block add-ons and things like that as easily as in IE. I thought I had it with blocking addons.mozilla.org, which wouldn't allow access to Mozilla's add-on site. However, with that, techs would still be able to go to 3rd party sites, generally the creators of the add-ons, and download them there. Anybody have any ideas on how to stop this?

You can configure Firefox settings to notify you before installing an add-on.
-> click Firefox '''button''' and click '''Options''' (or Tools Menu -> Options)
* '''Security''' panel -> place Checkmark on '''Warn me when websites try to install add-ons''' -> click '''Exceptions''' button -> click '''Remove All Sites''' button and click '''OK'''
* click OK on Options window
Check and tell if its working.

  • Is there a way to download Firefox 4 without going on a 3rd party site? Many of my addons do not work with Firefox 5 and 6.

    Quite a few of my addons don't work with firefox 6, and I would prefer to keep them, but my pc crashed and I had to reformat. I don't want to have to go on a 3rd party site, since they could easily put a virus on my pc. I couldn't find anywhere to download it on the site.
    Thanks

    Just keep in mind that Firefox 5.0 was a security release for 4.0.1.

  • HT4528 The new iOS6 allows you to send/receive messages from other phones linked to your iTunes account which is great for checking on my kids but I dont want them to be able to add my phone to their messages.  Is there a way to block from being added to

    I updated to the iOS6, and it allows you to view and send messages with any phone on iOS6 and linked to your iTunes account.  You can unselect phones so they dont go out through the phone, but is there a way to block other phones from adding yours?  Example, I don't ind being able to see what my son is sending/receiving on his phone but I don't really want him to be abe to add my phone and see all my messages...

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • Is there a way to block invitation notifications?

    My company uses Google calendar. I have a personal calendar, and then everyone has access to the companywide calendar as well. This allows us to see every meeting happening in the company. When we create new events, we create them in the companywide calendar and invite ourselves as a participant.
    The issue is that when I add my account to Calendar in Yosemite, both of my accounts show up. I also receive an invitation and notification every time someone adds an event to the companywide calendar, rather than just my personal calendar. I have "ignore alerts" set up for the companywide calendar, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there a way to block notifications from just the companywide calendar?

    Mmm i THINK that ignore only applies to behaviour within ical so you don't get a '5 mins' alert for example that has been set on the item by the person adding it. .  -is the invitation notification showing from your email(where you get the window come up in the top right of your screen) -you can control who you get mail notifications from in your email. i have mine just set to VIPS and VIP anyone i need to see notifications from(you don't want the ones from yourself i guess)-you can turn off those completely in the notification centre for email. Not sure if that is exactly what your issue is.

    Hi,
    You can in the Yahoo for Mac app (This has been in Beta for literally years)
    It seems that the iChat and Messages Beta Yahoo part is a sort of Bolt-On (it is actually a Plug-in) that does Text Chatting only and not much else (it can go Invisible)
    It seems it lacks some other functions that the Yahoo for Mac App has such as blocking people.

  • Is There a Way to Block an Individual Cookie in Safari 4.0.4

    Is there a way to block an individual cookie on Safari 4.0.4? I blocked in on Firefox but I can't seem to find a similar function on Safari. I delete from Safari it but Facebook keeps reinstalling it. Thanks!

    As for automatic deletion of cookies: no, Safari does not do that. This means in practise that you have to click on Show Cookies and manually delete those you do not want retained. You obviously want to keep the ones for regularly visited sites (like Apple) to speed up log-in etc.
    I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
    To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
    http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
    which only works on Leopard (which is what we both have). This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
    So, if you don't mark Facebook as a 'favourite', their cookies will be deleted on shut-down.

  • Is there a way of blocking websites on a ipod touch

    wierd websites keep apearing on my safari pade i keep going back to the history folder to try and block them bt its no use.
    is there a way to block pages on safari if know PLEASE TELL ME NOW!!!!!

    Ok, just stop and think about the question for a minute. 
    The iPod is powered OFF and he wants to know if there is a way to turn the iPod ON "remotely" which implies he cannot physically push the On/Off switch to the ON position.
    Because the iPod must be powered  ON for it to be connected to a wireless network, your answer makes no sense at all.
    Therefore the answer to the question is NO.

    Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
    "Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

  • Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

    Hello,
    We are using iPhone as a business phone to
    access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
    Is there any way to block non-company, in
    other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
    Exchange Server?
    Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
    company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
    a his/her private phone).
    We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
    If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Tak

    Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
    If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
    Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Is there a way to block unwanted e-mails and spam on your mobile devices?

    Is there a way to block unwanted e-mails and spam on your mobile devices?

    This is generally handled by your e-mail provider, not your e-mail reader.
    For example, I use Gmail and it filters spam before it ever gets to my inbox. If something does get through, I can move it to the spam folder on my iPhone to report it as spam.

    Hi Nies,
    If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
    Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
    In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
    1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
    2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.
    Regards'
