CSS or other programmable way to disable Cleartype in Firefox?

I've been searching the community and found a lot of reasons and demands to enable Cleartype for text rendering (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504698), but for some specific downloadable fonts (embedded with @font-face), especially Chinese fonts, rendering text with Cleartype enabled will make the text even more ugly, what's worse is, the text is very blurry with strokes missing.
There is certain CSS hack to deal with IE (http://allcreatives.net/2009/12/05/smoother-font-face-embedding-in-ie-7-8/), but so far no one has talked about a workaround to hack Firefox unless changing system/browser settings manually, but such manual work isn't reasonable to those who has none technical background.
Is there any possible approach, that we can use CSS/Javascript to tell Firefox to render a specific page/text without applying Cleartype mode?

Attaching the actual effect of showing embedded Chinese font in Firefox 7.0.1, no matter OS Cleartype is enabled or not (Windows XP).

Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?

hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!

hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
here's my modified userchrome.css
/* Inactive Tab */
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
color:white !important;}
/* Tab while loading */
tab[busy] {
color: blue !important;}
tab .tab-text {
font-size: 12px !important;
/* tab font */
tab .tab-text {
font-family:Verdana !important;
i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background
thanks

Is there a way to disable "hide others"?

I often have tons of apps open and if I accidentally hit "hide others" instead of "hide (app)" it makes me crazy. I hate having to "show all" then hide them one at a time. I know I could use the keyboard command, but it's different in some apps (Photoshop).

There's no way to disable it but you can set -maxsupportlogsize and -maxuserlogsize
to something like 0x7fffffff and do your own rotation. When your rotation script moves
the current .log files out of the way the daemon will notice and create new ones.

I've been trying to download an update to Photoshop so that I can import a raw file. Half way through it stops and tells me that to continue I have to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe. I have NO other programmes or applications open. None at all. What should I do? And by the way, how do I can't Adobe, instead of asking others (i. e. doing their job for them)?

close that exe using your task manager (win) or activity monitor (mac).

Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data. We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage. We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud. Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to. Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products. We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

The status bar is blocking my content, is there a way to disable it via Javascript and the likes?

I'm working on a site that requires a bottom footer in a fixed position, with a control button on the left hand side, my problem is, that the `new` status bar area covers this section for quite some time whilst it's requesting data, or waiting for the server, is there a way to disable it via JavaScript or some sort? It seems kind of silly for a status bar to cover your content (no offence), the old way was much nicer, sure it used more screen space, but atleast it didn't assume things. I just couldn't find a solution anywhere else, other than to move the button. :)

You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.

Is there any way to disable the popup message I get when I print to a PDF?

When I print to a pdf by selecting the Adobe PDF Converter as my printer, I always get a popup in my tray "Your PDF file 'document name' has been created".
This is annoying when I printing a bunch of different documents at a time. I know the PDF has been created because it opens up, so why the popup?
HOW DO I DISABLE THIS POPUP???
Help!!

If you're talking about the balloon tip that appears in the tray area, I don't know of a way to disable it for just Acrobat, but you can for all programs by modifying the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307729

Is there a alternative to Plugin-container (or a way to disable It)?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Is there a alternative to Plugin-container? It just showed up In my system processes when I updated to Firefox 3.6.6. I've never had problems with plugins crashing but ever since plugin-container.exe crashes have happened more frequently and plugins like Adobe Flash are now taking a lot longer to load. I have an older computer and I noticed plugin-container Is a different process and takes up a large amount of memory, didn't have that problem before. Is there a way to disable It? Even though Its suppose to resolve problems, I've never had any before and now that I have It I'm having problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to disable 'Save as' and 'Send Email' function in Acrobat XI?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep? Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to. Is there a way to change this? Are others having this issue?
Additionally, previous iMessages sent or received from those devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP. I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

Is there a way to disable the itunes video pop up for music videos in itunes 11?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the video window from popping up everytime I change a music video track in itunes in previous versions I always used play in artwork viewer but I accidentally updated and now that option is no longer there. I use itunes to organize my music collection as I'm a video dj but it's becoming to be a really big pain now with all the videos popping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can choose to have videos play in the iTunes window, rather than a separate window. Start playback of a video, then right click in the video and choose "Play video in iTunes window"

Is there any way to disable Firefox from updating my browser?

I have been an ardent Firefox user ever since Firefox began, having created innumerable Firefox users through the effusive enthusiasm in which I have promoted Firefox to others. But the manner in which Firefox has been demonstrating its total disdain for its loyal cadre of users like myself has me infuriated to no end, to the point of dumping Firefox altogether out of sheer frustration, anger with Firefox's absolute disregard to the requests of its users, who have pleaded to have a mechanism in which the all-too frequent updates wreaks havoc with our lives, livelihood.
The worst aspect of Firefox's dictatorial approach is the manner in which truth is the first casualty in
having a process to disable the update process which is very much akin to the manner in which Foie gras is produced. I have been given all sorts of advice, guidance on how to disable the update process
none of which have done a wit to fulfill my request of the specific needs of a browser that serves my interest and purpose, one in which is very much entwined with the work I do online as what I do for a living.
The insults Firefox perpetuates against users like me in providing phony approaches that in the end
turn out to be just another dead end is nothing short of nefarious. My attempt for the umpteenth
time in trying to put a stop to these updates is a terrible business practice, doing the worst sort of harm, to those who have been most loyal to the Firefox cause.
Just today, despite applying every sort of suggestion to stop these infernal updates, Firefox has once
again found a new way to bring me closer to becoming forever alienated.
This morning I noticed browsers all on five computers updated when I specifically had in place every
contingency for disabling these updates and so once again, I deleted every last remnant of Firefox off of my computer and started anew with a browser from Old Apps.com after going through my checklist
of steps to insure the updates will never cross my path again.
But despite doing everything to stop it, checking never to be updated, having extensions applied manually and a host of other faux approaches to disable the updates, I nearly lost it when noticing
that all computers were displaying the latest updates.
After today's latest debacle with the game you play with us users, it came to me like a ton of bricks falling loose right on top of me, how on a smaller scale,you, your tactics, your total obliviousness to the requests needs of our users, reminded me of Microsoft in its heyday.
That's a very sad,tragic legacy to be reminiscent of.

You can install Firefox ESR, '''which updates every year, but is aimed for IT and biz users.''' We also dont support it here, but '''you can install it''', the current version is 17.0.7.
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all
Or another solution is to go to FIrefox button > Options > Advanced > Update > Disable Auto updates
If disabling autoupdate doesnt work you can see [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Hopefully you found my advice well!

Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

Hi Everyone,
To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail
