Disable thumnnails on android firefox

The newtab thumbnails disclose too much information about my business interests. Often someone else will use my phone to look something up. If I can't disable this I will have to delete Firefox. This problem seems to be handled in the windows version.

Hello,
You can always use the the Guest Session feature to disallow the user from seeing anything apart from the default (i.e history, bookmarks, autocomplete).
To enable this, go to menu > Tools > New Guest Session
Once it is over, you can go to Menu > Exit Guest Session to have your Firefox back to normal without having anything else added by the guest usage.

  • How do i disable pdfjs on android firefox 15?

    The latest firefox for Android has an annoying "feature" that it trys to open pdf documents within the browser after a download. This does not work with the PDFs that we create internally (they display as white pages) so I need to disable it in favour of documents opening in acrobat as before. Is there a simple way to do this like there is on firefox for windows?

    Firefox for Android does not ship with PDF.JS. Firefox may open PDF files with the default PDF app on your phone, if one is set.

  • Android Firefox crashes when sync enabled

    Hello,
    I am experiencing crashes every time when Firefox sync starts, either manually from menu or automatically. Sync does not sync at all it just crashes. Same behaviour with both stable and beta from android play store.
    Tried reinstalling, and removing android Firefox account. Nothing helps. After few crashes, the sync account stops working, with error "could not sign in" After that Firefox works flawlessly. Then at some time account works again OK but then it crashes again.
    Since yesterday tried everything I could think will be helpful, including disable all extensions on my other devices, but nothing seems to help.
    Device is a tablet running Android 4.4.4
    Thanks for your help!

    thanks for following up on the issue. i had a brief conversation with a sync developer about this issue - there is a prospective fix for this type of crash in firefox 38 (that's codenamed Aurora). however mozilla's developers cannot reproduce the crash reliably and would depend on help of users like you to reliably tackle this issue...
    so in case you'd be willing to help out and try firefox aurora, please proceed like this:
    # go into the android system settings > security menu and enable the option to install .apk files from unknown sources
    # go to https://www.mozilla.org/mobile/aurora/ click on the download button and afterwards install the .apk file on your device.
    # then launch firefox aurora from your app drawer and see if you can reproduce the crashes while connected to your sync account.
    finally please report back with your results after those steps.
    the firefox developer working on this might also be interested to contact you directly about this issue - if you consent to that, please click on my profile and send me a personal message with your mail address. iw ould then forward sthis information...
    thank you!

  • My sites have been hacked and hostgator has told me to "Disable javascript - Use the firefox addon noscript" and I don't know how to. Are all updates always sent to me as that was another point made to prevent hackers? Thanks you. David. in English

    What are malicious scripts and what causes them? Over the years hackers found it hard to trick people into visiting suspicious sites so they're now targeting legit sites and using them to infect unknowing customers. In most cases an FTP account's password is obtained through key logging malware, then legit website files are modified to distribute the malware and gather more passwords. If your PC has been infected with one of these trojans, your bank account, email accounts, and FTP accounts may no longer be secure. * What to do if you find malicious scripts 1. Use the following online vulnerability scanner and ensure your software is up-to-date: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/?task=load 2. Download antivirus and fully scan your PC for malicious files. Here are some free online scanners: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml 3. Update all passwords that may have been obtained. Do not use old passwords, generate new ones. 4. Upload older versions of the files or contact support for assistance removing the malicious scripts. * Prevention - Ensure you use the latest browser version - Disable javascript - Use the firefox addon noscript - Download and install some free antivirus software, make sure it stays updated - Use http://www.avg.com.au/index.cfm?section=avg&action=onlinescan to test suspicious links you are given in emails or find online.

    Thank you.
    I also had tried other means of getting answers and got an even more specific answer on just how to do this.  Below is the link to the actual knowledgebase article giving specific instructions since there are some files that need to be on the Palm and some on the card, etc.
    http://support.laridian.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=380&ratingconfirm=...
    I emailed Zondervan to see if they might be able to direct me to a downloadable manual.  The referred me to laridan.com who now supports their software.
    I followed the instructions, taking into account some things that were already where they needed to be, hot synced it and it seems to be working fine with 7.8 M free space on my Palm which I trust is enough for my other very large applications.
    Thanks for your help!

  • The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
    Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

    Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
    I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
    I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"

  • Set up a desktop Firefox sync from an android Firefox sync

    I am having trouble setting up Firefox sync on my desktop (which I had to replace) having only an active Firefox sync on my Android tablet. I can't find a way to either insert the usual three four character codes to pair the devices, nor to recover the sync key to enter it manually on the desktop. Googling the problem, I found suggestions from a year ago to use certain plugins (the most recent was about:synckey) to display the key, but unfortunately they are no longer compatible with the newest firefox (I am using v17). So my question is: can this be done? Or shoud I harvest all my bookmarks from the Android device as long as I can and reset the sync account?

    Thank you for your reply. However, that guide assumes you have a desktop version of Firefox to insert the codes into and start the pairing to the second device (which can be a desktop Firefox or an Android Firefox), while I need to do the other way around, that is start the pairing from the Android Firefox. If it is possible, how can I insert the pairing codes in the Android Firefox?

  • How the find the name of each div element for Android firefox

    Hi guys, I have been trying to customize the ui of my Android firefox. I think the first step is to find the name of each element so that I can add my own css via stylish. For example, I wanna move the tab count beside the address bar to the right bottom for easy one hand use. Can anyone advise me where I can find the name of each div element?
    Thanks a lot.

    Firefox for Android UI is written in Java not XUL so stylish will not change the UI colors. We provide limited support for light weight themes. Depending on what you are attempting to accomplish it may be doable that way. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/themes

  • Trying to disable mouse4/mouse5 IN Firefox, Google-Fu didn't help me out.

    Hi, I'm using my mouse4 and mouse5 buttons for voicechat programs so i've been looking for a way to disable those buttons in Firefox or disable their functionality. I've been searching on the internet and checked out the About:config file but havent found a way to do this. I am by no means an expert though and my time in the config file was mainly changing around some values in the mouse* section. Thanks for reading this. I look forward to hearing something back, have a great day. Xaguta

    Pari,
    I may think that you have two VIs with the same name but different versions from each other inside your application. This is related to a common case we find with Error "1", you can see a similar case by visiting the Knowledge Base document named: LabVIEW Application Builder and Error 1: "Error saving file xxx.vi".
    Please also check the Application Builder Troubleshooting Wizard for more information in the Application Builder process and common errors.
    If you still encounter this error please get in contact with us, you can use the phone or email as well. Please fi

  • How to disable web security in firefox

    Please let us know how to disable web security in mozilla firefox .
    I tried re-setting the below :
    security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy;true
    network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy
    but its not working.
    Whereas in chrome we have the below option to set websecurity :
    chromium-browser --disable-web-security
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    I understand that you would like to know how to disable web security in Firefox and you have tried: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy;true and network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy. These are cross domain single origin policy that refers to a specific header int HTTP.
    The chromium-browser --disable-web-security essentially does the same thing. (Ideally) It seems from a couple of sources that this does not actually disable Cors as well? Hence (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1039678)
    Please do report back with what you find!
    EDit: It sounds like the feature you are looking for has not been implemented yet.

  • Android Firefox beta (17) crashes when I press the menu button.

    Hi - I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this issue I've been having with Android Firefox?
    Whenever I press the 'menu' key on my phone while running FF (tried with 16 and beta/17), the application crashes immediately. I briefly see my Android homescreen, then the FF page asking me to submit a crash report to Mozilla. I've done this, of course, and one of the links is attached.
    I'm a bit surprised that I have not been able to find any mention on the interwebs about this issue. Perhaps someone can let me know what's going on?
    Cheers

    You probably have a Meizu-Brand Phone...
    The problem is that Meizu has modified android.policy.odex in a bad way... introducing a null-Dereference error in it...

    There are two places to disable it:

  • How to obtain Sync Recovery Key from Android Firefox?

    Desktop sync is broken and instructs to obtain "Your Recovery Key" from a working device. Only working device is Android Firefox. What is the magic incantation to get Firefox (v21 beta) on Android to reveal the needed sync Recovery Key?

    You can use:
    *Android OS > Settings > Accounts > Firefox Sync > Pair a new Device
    This will give you a 12-character pairing key the you can enter in the desktop computer.
    You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

  • Android Firefox Sync with own Server

    Hi,
    is it possible to Sync the Android Firefox with the new 1.5 Sync Server?

    Josh182,
    Yes it is, however please take caution that the profile of the first computer will overwrite the one of the second. Sync is not meant to be a backup service. [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
    For Android if you select Settings > Sync make sure the account that is attached is not Firefox Sync [deprecated].
    Add a new account after disconnecting this account. and it will take you through the login account verification/login.
