Disable the popup stating parental controls blocked the following sites

ON OS X 10.9 with parental controls enabled when a site is blocked Firefox throws up a popup stating what sites were blocked. I would like to stop this from happening, as in our environment we bloc Facebook, twitter, and other sites, so when I go to CNN firefox pops up saying a bunch of sites have been blocked and to try allow them. This popup is awful and needs to be removed...

I haven't used this feature...
Is there an add-on in Firefox that you can configure? You can check on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
''If there is an extension related to this function:'' check for an Options button to see whether you can set it to silent operation.
Next, in the left column, click Plugins.
''If there is a plugin related to this function:'' you could try setting it to "Never Activate" although this might completely disable the feature... Usually configuration for a plugin is done externally to Firefox.
If there are no add-ons related to this feature, check whether you can modify the behavior in the parental control software itself.

  • How do I stop the "attempted to access these secure websites" popup with parental controls enabled?

    This makes parental controls almost unusable.  Nearly every website tries to access numerous other domains that are not in my whitelist.  Is there any way to just stop all prompts to add items to the whitelist?  It could remain static and just block everything and I'd be happy (kind of thought that was the purpose of parental controls and whitelisting to begin with).  Young kids have no idea what to do with these windows popping up.
    Thanks!

    I imagine it would prompt for an admin account and then if I authenticated it would be added to the white list and that specific site would then receive requests (e.g. not prompt again); however...
    a) that would only stop prompting for that specific site and this issue would recur with each request to a new domain that occurs down the line
    b) the point of parental controls is that I want to allow my child relatively unsupervised access to the system, that would require I be in the vicinity to authenticate and add each new request
    c) there are likely domains that I would NOT want whitelisted just due to some background request (ad networks, large domains that may otherwise serve up inappropriate content, etc...).
    I think I get where you are coming from (and not trying to shoot the messenger here) I just think that teaching them to agree to the message would not be a good solution.  This seems to be a pretty big gap in Apple's implementation and apparantly can only be addressed by them.
    Thank you!

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

  • If I were to set up Parental Controls for the only user on a MacBook, would I need to create another, separate account?

    Parental controls

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It is not possible to set parental control on the administrator account, so you have two choices: create a new user account to apply parental control or use the Guest user for that. You can set parental control in System Preferences -> Parental Control

    Make that four.
    If you have any commercially advertised/available antivirus software installed on your Mac, completely uninstall this per the instructions on the AV developer's website.
    Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and can negatively affect OS X performance and operation.
    Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary. They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!
    Search the web to learn how to correctly and properly uninstall these kinds of apps.
    They all uninstall differently.

  • Any parental controls on the WRT54G2?

    I've finally decided to buy my son the laptop he's been begging for, but I'm a bit concerned that he may feel a little too free with his web surfing once the bedroom door closes.
    Does the WRT54GT2 come with any functions for restricting site access and monitoring activity?
    The only Linksys models I've heard mentioned regarding parental controls are the WRT54G and the WRT54GS, but are these functions limited to ONLY these two models?

    Restricting site access feature is available on wrt54g2.

  • Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
    Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
    Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

  • Is it possible to disable some popups from FEP Client on the desktop. But how to disable popups from real time protection

    Is it possible to disable some popups from FEP Client on the desktop. But how to disable popups from real time protection. This is so that end users who are non technical are not disturbed and only the I.T is aware of the viruses in teh environment.Shahid Roofi

    You could set policies which when a malware detected an action perform automatically without user interaction but there is no GPO which stop the notification, one reason could be that when notification keep appearing, then user will know something is wrong
    otherwise why FEP should display any warning.

  • Parental controls blocks all https websites

    When I enabled parental controls for my 9-year old, I didn't expect her not to be able to use Google, Gmail and just about every single other website that requires logging in. The reason? Those websites are all https websites and parental controls blocks *ALL* https websites.
    With https becoming more and more prevalent on the web, adding an exception is not really an option anymore. I don't want to add an exception for half of the internet. It's gotten so bad that she's encountering a popup several times per minute when just doing a little research for her homework. Web filtering is apparently a whilelist only solution, suitable only for the smallest of children - the ones that you sit next to because they can't type a web address themselves, 5 years or younger.
    The only solution I could find was to turn off web filtering completely and use OpenDNS instead. Does anyone else know of a better solution?

    Hello,
    A alternative application as a option that is very worthy,

  • Is there a solution to parental controls blocking https?

    I have seen many posts regarding parental controls blocking any website that has SSL or https, but they are for older versions of OS X.  Is there a solution for the latest version of Mavericks?  I am amazed that the problem has persisted as long as this without Apple coming up with a better version of Parental Controls that can actually block inappropriate content not just ALL content.  Thanks for any help out there!

    No No No No I'm talking about completely shutdown

  • In-App Purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again

    I have played games for quite a while and have used the purchased many "lives" for games, etc. For about a week now, whenever I go to purchase some like this, I receive the following error message: "In-App purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again later."
    I have read the threads about this and have done everything that was said to do. I go to settings > General > Restrictions. I ensured that "enable Restrictions" is turned off.
    But I still receive the same error message. I have an ipad 2 with IOS 7.1.
    ANy further ideas? Is there something in the iTunes store that needs to be checked?
    I've about given up. Thanks for any help

    I will try doing this, but I would like to add ... if I'm playing Candy Crush and want to buy additional lives, etc., I have no problem in purchasing them. Could it be the specific game that is not allowing me to buy anything? And I know this doesn't make much sense either, but I'm grasping at anything here because I've purchased them before.
    You said to turn on in app purchases .. When I go into Settings > General, I'm ensuring that Restrictions are Disabled, correct? I can see the "in-App purchases" but I'm not able to do anything with it since my restrictions are disabled ... Is this correct? I'm a little confused here.

  • Default Parental Controls blocks FaceBook

    I just updated my family G4 iMac to Leopard.
    On the kids' accounts, under Parental Controls -> Content, I chose the "Try to limit access to adult websites automatically"
    My older son logged in and hollered that he could not get to his FaceBook page.
    How interesting.
    Way to go, Apple.

    HI,
    "Try to limit access to adult websites automatically"
    In Parental Controls click the Customize button. You can setup certain sites for "allow" or "deny" ...

  • Safari Parental Controls Blocks YouTube Login?

    I have parental controls enabled on a user account to "limit adult websites automatically". Whenever I try to log in to YouTube (with www.youtube.com allowed), it comes up with this:
    I've heard that a similar problem with Google Mail can be bypassed by entering google.com's ip address into the "Allowed" section in the Parental Controls preference, but this did not not work with YouTube's ip. Perhaps I have the wrong ip? Or is there no way around this?

    If you were to create another standard account and apply the same parental controls, would the same thing happen?
