Disable outdated plugin warning
I have version 26.0.
I want to disable the warning: "Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on..."
1- I went to about:config
2- changed the value to "true" for "plugins.hide infobar for outdated plugins"
But continue to get this warning. I want to disable this warning. Please let me know how. Thank you!!
hello cin993, there is no preference that can control this behaviour individually. you can only disable it together with the protection from malicious addons and crashy graphics drivers: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.blocklist.enabled

How do I disable the new feature that disables outdated plugins unless they are clicked?
I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8. I'm happy with it. Firefox has a new feature that automatically disables the PDF plugin unless it's clicked. It's called the "Click to Play" feature. Even when disabled, it's not really disabled: it activates itself for "vulnerable plugins." Though there is an option to make a website trusted for plugins, there is seemingly no way to make the PLUGIN ITSELF trusted. As a result, every time I get a PDF, I have to Click to Play.
Question: How do I truly disable this stupid new feature?
There is the following support article that explains this new system, and that the only solution is trust a website, but apparently can't disable the feature or trust the plugin:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins?esab=a&s=disable+click+to+play&r=13&as=sIn about:config, set extensions.blocklist.enabled to false

Need to permanently disable outdated plugin notification
I have an iMac G5 (PowerPC) running OS 10.5.8 with Firefox 3.6.28. I am constantly getting a yellow bar across the top of my browser for almost every web page, stating that "Some plugins used by this page" with a prompt to update my plugins. However, the plugins in question are '''the''' most up-to-date versions available for this browser for this operating system for this computer. This is very annoying.
Other than the obvious fix (buy an Intel-based Mac), how can I permanently disable this notification?Type '''about:config''' and filter for <b>plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin</b> and double-left-click or right-click and toggle this to '''true'''

I recently jumped from FF v14.0.1 to the current one. I have most of the old settings back but I can't find any information about allowing outdated plugins to run automatically. I click on "Allow and Remember", and the browser remembers for that session only. I can close it out and go back to the exact same site and I'll be prompted again. However, I don't care about finding a solution for that problem - I would like to completely disable the feature altogether. Could someone please show me how I can permanently allow "any" outdated plugin to run automatically when called upon (particularly flash)? I have my own reasons why I need it and I understand the security ramifications of choosing this path.
Hi ice_blue,
generally speaking it is not a good idea but yes it is possible:
#type "About:config" into your url bar
#accept the warning
#find or search for "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin"
#set the value to True (double click)
Cheers,

Windows users keep getting prompted about java version being insecure and are advised to disable the plugin. They then complain that java based websites no longer work. Can I disable / prevent this warning feature. And can I re-enable java plugin via command line or script? I need to do this on a large scale and various versions of firefox. Right now I will need to abandon firefox if I cannot easily resolve this. Yes I realize updating to latest version of java is a solution... but this will take too much time now and how long before another security fix for java and then I will have to update yet again.
Tylerdowner, to say that Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported is not an answer. Apparently, the so-called block deployed for the Mac OS X version of Firefox, created to deal with a vulnerability in Oracle's Java, has now crept into the Windows version. Moreover, it is blocking the latest version of Java, which was not intended according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741592. The official text of the block follows:
Java Plugin has been blocked for your protection.
Why was it blocked?
Outdated versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to an actively exploited security issue. All Mac OS X users are strongly encouraged to update their Java plugin through Software Update, or disable it if no alternatives are available. For more information, please read our blog post or Oracle's Advisory.
Who is affected?
All Firefox users who have installed the Java plugin, JRE versions below 1.6.0_31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_2.
What does this mean?
Users are strongly encouraged to disable the problematic add-on or plugin, but may choose to continue using it if they accept the risks described.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.
Well, whoever wrote the code to block the Java plug-ins specified above screwed up, since it is blocking even the updated Java plug-in.
I have an enterprise with many computers, and we had deployed Firefox as our browsing platform. Based on the latest decisions at Mozilla, new version numbering, forced release cycle, and almost all add-on vendors just walking away from the maintainence nightmare created by this decision, I guess it's time to move over to the Dark Side and adopt Google Chrome. -

i disabled flash plugin.
now i open site - http://www.coursesmart.com/9780495797494/2
page contains images.When i click on print preview button, i cant see anything.... also i tried all pdf plugins and extensions, but none help to convert/print page in pdf. please help. how can i print whole page to pdf?Doesn't work in Google Chrome either.
Looks that the page has a lot of protection measures (context menu is disabled) and DIVs that overlay each other, so it is possible that the print routine only sees an empty DIV and not the image or the real page.<br />
That big image consists of two parts as you can see via Tools > Page Info > Media and the inspector. -
How can I Disable XI Plugin for Firefox?
I have disabled the plugin on the Firefox plugin page (Tools>Add-ons), but it re-enables. I have changed the two .dll files to .dxx. Tools>Options>Applications does not show .pdf. I also tried to disable from within Reader's options panel with no success. I really don't want anything to open in my browser. Can anyone help?
Firefox by default uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin. If you haven't manually changed that, it is not an Adobe Reader issue.

My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?
This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

Disable all plugins by default?
Every time I look in Firefox plugins (NOT extensions), I'm surprised to see some strange new plugin has appeared and is enabled.
I would much prefer to have plugins disabled by default, and only allow those that I specifically select.
Something like what happens with Extensions perhaps.Firefox will pick up new plugins from the registry as they are added by other software, so that could explain the origin.
I can't think of a feature native to Firefox to disable new plugins by default, but perhaps an add-on offers this feature?? -
Two Adobe Acrobat Plugins In Firefox ... Want to Remove Outdated Plugin
Creative Cloud Customer with all Adobe software current
Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.2
Firefox 19.0.1
In looking at my Plugins, I notice that I have two Adobe Acrobat, one 11.0.0.379 and the other 11.0.2.0. The last one seems to match my Adobe Acrobat Pro version number. I assume the 11.0.0.379 is outdated?
If I am correct in my assumption, how do I remove the the outdated plugin? Please be precise and detailed as I am still learning Windows 8. In the picture below, I have circled the plugin that I want to remove.
I look forward to your assistance.Okay, well I just an interesting experience.
Here's what happened:
Deleted oldest program without remembering to deactivate first.
After I uninstalled, I noticed that the program listings in the Control Panel were blank. That is, both the old and new versions were gone.
In Firefox, the first entry of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.2.0 was gone, but the other listing of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.0.379 remained
Thinking that I erred in not deactivating first, I used Adobe's Chat to reset my counter. The nice man asked me for my email and then my order number for Creative Cloud. After I logged into my Adobe account to retrieve the information, he promptly told me that he couldn't help me and that I needed to call back on Monday using a 1-800 number. I am puzzled why we bothered with the dance of email addresses and order numbers.
Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to try to install Adobe Acrobat from my Creative Cloud account. The worst that happen is that it will fail to load.
I successfully loaded Adobe Acrobat without difficulty. When I viewed the installed programs in the Control Panel, I saw that I had an outdated versions. See picture below.
Intuitively, I would have expected programs downloaded from the cloud to be current. So I went Help | Check for Updates
I installed the updates. See picture below for Control Panel shot.
Now, going back to Firefox, I am exactly at the starting point.
In summary, the "older" version appears to stay regardless of whether Adobe Acrobat is installed or not. Perhaps it is attached to Adobe Reader XI. Or, perhaps, it's just there. Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro seems to add two programs to the list in the Control Panel. And it seems to have two Adobe Acrobat plugins in Firefox.
I will call Adobe on Monday with regard to the Deactivate Issue. I have a hunch that it isn't not an issue. They might be able to tell that I uninstalled and reinstalled on the same computer.
That's it for now. -
Firefox frequently 'not responding' having auto-installed version 10 yesterday. No previous problems. Have disabled all plugins and uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox several times today. Problem persists making continued use of this browser very unlikely unless a quick solution is found! Can anyone help please?
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
* [[Firefox hangs]]
Check and tell if its working. -
Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer
There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
2)Backup with this command:
reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
3) Delete with this command:
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
Also, Im using IE 8. -
How to disable Java Plugin on a few thousand Windows PCs?
We have installed Sun Java 2 SE Runtime Environment 1.4.0 on all our Windows NT4/2000 Workstations. The installation was performed by InstallShield Silent as described on the following page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/silent.html
Now we want to change the following Java Plugin setting to disable the plugin for the Internet Explorer:
"Control Panel / Java Plugin 1.4.0 / Browser Tab / Microsoft Internet Explorer" = disabled
Because this we have to do this on a few thousand PCs we cannot do it manually. We are looking for a possibility to do this by a unattended or silent setup. Does Sun recommend a special procedure for doing this? Or does someone know the necessary registry or file changes? We've tracked the changes but we couldn't find a working solution.
(We are using Microsoft SMS for software distribution and have the tools to make registry or file changes.)
Thank you and regards
SvenI Remembered that the JRE is simply doing a re-direct on the MSJVM key using "Treat As. So I did a MS Sysdiff to capture the changes. OFF.DMP and ON.DMP were created. OFF.dmp shows that there are basically 4 registry changes. I created the following cmd file to delete the 4 registry keys: Watch out for the word wraps....
echo off

REG DEL "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\SUN_JAVA_2" /FORCE

REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO Successfull!
REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\SUN_JAVA_2"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO Successfull!
REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501}\TreatAs"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO Successfull!
REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.0\UseJava2IExplorer"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO Successfull!
This successfully works by removing the registry entries and therefore not redirecting IE to use the JRE. Then the NEQ or "not equal to" can be used to verify it and log your errors and report back to you as you so desire. OK, use EQU to find out if it fails because it is found.... We do this kind of thing as admin but user rights seem to work. If you wanted to you could create the OFF.DIF file and run sysdiff /apply /m OFF.DIF. Remember not to change anything but the uncheck & apply so you don't capture MRU and other user keys. I digress... Here are the complete ON.DMP and OFF.DMP text files line compressed for space.
