Disable media autoplay in web browser?

Ok, so I'm under Windows XP Pro, Firefox 1.5 and Quicktime for Windows 7.0.4. Is there any way of stopping (particularly audio) media files from automatically playing unless I specifically tell them to play in my browser? It's darn aggravating having all these files play when I don't want them to, but on the other hand, occasionally, I do want them to.

Hm... I can't actually get the spacebar or escape to do either of the things you say they will. Wrong browser, perhaps?
If you visit http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/o/togodbe.htm you'll get a classic example of what I want to stop. I use this website frequently, but their habit of setting MIDI files to autoplay on entry to the page is annoying. I want the files still to appear on the page -- occasionally, I do want to hear them -- but I would prefer it if I were the one controlling when those files are played.
I suspect what I'm really looking for is an option in QuickTime which completely, absolutely and totally disables the AUTOPLAY tag with respect to the html coding of a webpage. You can do something similar already with movies under the "browser" settings (disabling "play movies automatically"); I want that to be the case for all media types.

My enter key was disabled on the whole web browser! How do I fix this?!

I am trying to press enter on everything and I can't. Writing a new paragraph is impossible. No, it's on my WHOLE operating system!!!!!!!!!!!!! Specs: Firefox 19.0.2, Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit, 1GHZ dual-core AMD processor, Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop, 2GB of RAM.

This is not an issue with Firefox.
Is the key on the keyboard damaged?
'''NOTE: '''When you get a chance, you should update your Firefox to Firefox 22.0. This version is more secure and up-to-date with the newest technology.

RegisterHotKey(....) to disable hotkeys such as ALT+F4 is not working in C# Web Browser control

Disabling hot keys like "ALT+F4" using register RegisterHotKey(..) function and wndproc(..) function in c# windows application is not working as expected in few cases. Below is the description.
I am using C# Web Browser control in windows application to display Web Pages. We are disabling hot keys like ALT+F4 by calling the method RegisterHotKey(..) and capture the hot key message in Wndproc(..) function. Initially This is working as expected
normally.
But as part of new requirement, we need to set the "title of Web browser page" to its parent class(Win form) text property. when we are assigning text property of winform using below code, the hot keys could not be disabled.
this.Text = webBrowserCustom.DocumentTitle; //this keyword refers to WinForm which loads web browser control
If webBrowserCustom.DocumentTitle is empty then this.text is set to Empty string. In such case the hot keys are not getting disabled.
I am not sure what is the relation between text property of winform and hot keys disabling.
Could you please let us know why hot keys are not getting disabled when we setting empty string to Winform(which is loading Web Browser control) text property.?

Hi,
How did you use RegisterHotKey and winproc function in your project, could you please post the code here so that we can reproduce the problem firstly?
If you just want to prevent the user from closing the form, you could register Form_Closing event handler, and cancel the closing behavior by the user.
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
e.Cancel = (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing);
private void btnCloseForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.FormClosing -= new System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventHandler(this.Form1_FormClosing);
this.Close();

Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser. Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior. Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Disable the 'OUTPUT' Tab in the SRM PO Web Browser for SRM Employee Role

Hi All,
I would like to Disable 'OUTPUT' Tab in SRM PO (Web browser) for different users who are assigned to SRM Employee Role (who has PO Display Authorization) to restrict PO Print Preview only (not to restrict displaying PO field values in SRM Web Browser). I have to have BBP_PD_PO activity as 'Display' to display field values in SRM PO Web Browser - Under SRM Employee Role.
Let me know the solution for the above requirement.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Sudarsan

Hi all,
I have the same problem with the PO Output tab.
I would like to disable the Output tab for any user without modification.
SCREEN BADI is not working, because with screen BADI you can only influence position fields, here we ve got a TAB /Field on header level.
CHECK BADI: I did not get the message here. How should I block the user to change the output format only by throwing a message within CHECK_BADI?
The only way I see is a modification to disable the whole Tab.
@ Sudarsan:
You can make a modification within Include LBBP_PO_UI_ITSF0A
Disable output tab at Header Level
If g_prg-data eq gc_outprg.
screen-input = gc_off
endif.
--> switch screen-input to gc_off at any time!
Any other ideas how to disable mail or fax option for users without using a modification?
Thanks
Kind regards
Andreas

Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

Firefox opens all adobe files with firefox web browser. I disabled add-on, but it still does it. How can i disable this feature?

All adobe files now automatically open in firefox web browser, even when opening them from widows explorer. I want all adobe files to be opened in adobe reader as a default. Yet I disable the plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 and it still does this. I can't use firefox this way.

When you open a PDF file that you saved to your computer, by double-clicking the file, does it open with Adobe Reader or with Firefox?
If the PDF file opens with Adobe Reader then follow the instructions in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] to set Adobe Reader as the application for Portable Document Format (PDF) in your Firefox Options for Applications.
If the PDF file opens in Firefox when you open it from your hard drive, even though you have Firefox 33 installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox:
#Download the latest Firefox version (currently 33.1.1) from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] and save the setup file to your computer.
#*Note: You can use [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?scene=2#download-fx this link] for the online (stub) installer or choose the full installer for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page].
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the Exit button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
#Reinstall Firefox using the setup file you downloaded before.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data.

Accessing files through web-browser

Does anyone know of a global way to disable the ability to browse a directory structure of a BEA domain through a web browser.
For example, if a user knows of a directory within a domain, and that directory does not contain an index.jsp file, the user will see the files. How can we prevent this without putting an index.jsp file in every directory?

I had just installed a NMH410 and has some questions as follows:
1. Can NMH410 be used as an external HDD without internet?
Yes - The NMH is a local network device, and you can store/retrieve files on it using the computers on your home network using either Windows Explorer, or connecting to it in Linux/MacOS as a Samba share.
However: The NMH requires an Internet connection to dowload firmware updates, and - If my experiences today are anything to go on - You'll need to have up to date Flash support in your web browser to be able to configure and administrate the thing.
(See the new thread that I'll be posting in this forum shortly.)
mosidiot wrote:
2. Is there anywhere I can upload files through the web browser?
Yes - The NMH does support uploading via a web browser as long as the latter has a recent Flash plugin installed. For small numbers of files, this should work fine...But for larger numbers of files, I'd suggest using either Windows Explorer, or the Media Importer program that came on the enclosed CD-ROM. :-)
You can find full details and instructions for doing both of the above in the NMH 4xx user guide, which may be downloaded Here. :-)

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Reader 9.2 - "can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser"

Hello,
I recently deployed Adobe 9.2 within our organization. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to transform the install set, and selected the "Display PDF in Browser" option as default.
When opening a PDF linked from a web URL, we get the message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." This occurs under IE8 and IE6, in both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7.
If I launch Adobe Reader and unselect "Display PDF in Browser" in preferences, PDFs open normally.

How do I secure my web browsing on public wifi using a home server?

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.3.2. The Mac Mini currently acts as a media centre, running OS X 10.6.7. It is permanently connected to the internet. I have a static IP address (though goodness knows my ISP insists it changes every 15 days lol), and an Airport Extreme Base Station (Gigabit).
I'd like to secure my web browsing when using public wifi by getting my iPhone to pass all data over a secure connection via my Mac Mini. Might someone tell me how to do that? I'd rather use software already included with OS X where possible. (PS: I know that my data becomes clear-text again once it leaves my Mac Mini).
I'm also thinking of implementing a proxy server on the Mac Mini (Privoxy) to help manage ads and cookies on my LAN. Would it be possible to set it up so that my iPhone could take advantage of that proxy and the secure connection when using public wifi? Cos that'd be great! Cut down on my bandwidth costs!
Thanks everybody!!
Scotchy

I don't know iOS I am using. How do I find out?
I have web history but only one weeks worth - can you increase how long it keeps the info before discarding?
I definitely don't have advanced settings and I'm definitely using an iPhone4
I also want this info to keep track of my internet usage to know which websites are chewing up my data allowance.
Any help appreciated!

Java does not work on my Win 7 IBM-compatible PC using Firefox as my web browser

A typical example of a website I would like to access & view is "www'cut-the-knot.org", a relatively mathematics-related website with a lot a very nice math content, where (roughly estimating) 70-90% of all web pages on the web site use Java applets to communicate that math content.
I CANNOT view the Java applets (am restricted/prevented from doing so) --- on CTK or ANY other website!.
I could go into all the details but, essentially, I have tried just about everything I can think of (or have found to do/try in discussions on the Internet by googling the problem) & nothing seems to have had any positive affect ... I can still not view ANY Java applets on ANY website! :-(
I USED to be able to view Java content on the PC I was working on, although, a few months ago, I migrated from Win XP to Win 7 when MS stopped supported Win XP. I don't know when things changed but, "while I wasn't looking" (&/or paying attention) something DID change. :-(
I'm using an IBM-compatble PC (not a Mac) with Windows 7 & Firefox as my web-browser.
I'm just a private individual ... just a "little guy" in my home ... little personal technical knowledge, no big biz connections, no $ to hire expensive (or inexpensive) experts to come in & assess & fix the problem. I would even just like to know if there is some kind of future expected date when something MIGHT get improved, barring an action "solution" of the problem.
From what I read on the Internet, some problem(s) relating to this issue has/have been extant for at least two years, dating back to at least 2012, if not further? I assume the problem would have been fixed long ago if it were easy to fix so, I'm not trying to be overly critical ... just asking for some kind of status report --- help/communication/knowledge/expertise/solution/etc ... & any information would be appreciated. Knowing WHAT the problem is is a high priority to me, certainly as well as understanding HOW TO FIX the problem, & WHEN that fix will occur.
Java is a seemingly wonderful technology but, if there are such severe security risks that require it be enabled so that no one (I'll assume I'm not the only one unable to view Java applets) can use it, it doesn't have much value to visitors to websites that employ Java to deliver a majority of their content. Part of the problem, obviously, is that (like CTK) MANY websites ALREADY use/employ Java --- & therefore, end-users have almost no access to the content in/on those websites.
Thanx in advance ...
