Everytime I open firefox i get a warning this app was downloaded from the internet, do you want to open it. firefox has been previously opened but the message appears everytime firefox is opened. where is that reciept or preference located so I can delete

this is a macbook running 10.6.3 with a fresh install of firefox from the mozilla site
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the upgrade from osx 10.6.3 and 3.6.3 install of firefox

Try this:
- uninstall firefox
- download the installer again from [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]
- run the installer to install Firefox
See if the same problem appears.

"Firefox" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet - Open?

Everytime I go to open up programs (for example, firefox) I get a dialog box like this:
“Firefox” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
Underneath it says "AppFresh downloaded this file on May 3, 2009". These programs are installed via an administrator, but I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account. What can I do?

Peter:
I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account.
As noted in earlier posts, you should get that message the first time you launch firefox or any other downloaded application. If you get the message each time, for some reason the computer thinks it is the first time you are launching the application. Are you sure that the application is installed in the application folder? Or are you launching from the .dmg each time? If you are,
double click on the .dmg file.
When it opens drag the icon to the Applications folder and it will be permanently installed. You will need to authenticate to install, but you should not have to authenticate each time you launch the application.
Drag any icon that you have in the Dock to the Desktop
Then launch the application.
If you want to keep it on the dock click and hold on the icon
Select Keep in Dock in the pop-up menu.

"........" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

I get the following warning every time I try to open a recently download application. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3
"xxxxx' is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
How do I disable this warning for a particular application?
Update: problem solved. The Mac in question has multiple users, but only one user has administrator privileges. The problem was simply that the application in question had never been opened by the administrator. Once the administrator opened the application the warning went away.

If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.
Another method to do the same exact thing is to hold the Control key while left clicking on the Application installer will give you the exact same popup menu.

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

Disabling that"..is an application which was downloaded from the Internet."

Downloaded Camino and use it. Now I do not want that warning anymore on every start. I do not give **** how Apple rates security of the file. I know the application is safe so I want to click some checkbox to disable warning on Camino start:
'“Camino” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?'
The only unsafe Camino is to Safari as recent version of Safari is really troubled with hick-ups and freezes while Camino seems to be very similar except that it does not have those issues Safari has.
I can only say what guy named Yeroen (read it if want):

It is really Microsoft way. Can Apple get rid of that troll recenly hired in the company that makes Mac OS X now look like piece of... art that behaves so obnoxiously to a user? I cannot guess where Apple got those new ideas, but they definitelly look like some transplant from Vista and XP obnoxiousness. The only what comes to my mind is some folks that were contracted or hired from Microsoft. Shortsighted with narrow vision and lack of basic education on ergonomics of any user interface.
Hey Apple I dropped Windows because of that! Why do you do this to me now?

Okay. It looks like when copying from mounted .dmg file to Applications folder one needs to start Camino on that account and say once to allow start. This has to be done on account that was used to copy the file from downloaded .dmg.
In my scenario, I have administrative account which is separate from users (and of course my own as I am not administrator daily). So Camino was bothering me until I went to administator account and started Camino once. Apparently it had to make some writings into hidden system files to rememeber the choice and the choice was made across accounts.
I remember that similar issues were in Final Cut Express: you had to start the application from administrative account (the one that you used to install the application) once and after that you could easily go and use the application on other accounts at any time.
Looks like this is some sort of pattern which I considered ill as user really should not need to do that pointless start on account that is not supposed to be used for the application. Installation account and use account should be interpretted as two separate with no overlap of preferences. Now this issue was in FCE,but as far as Camino... it sounds like Apple extends this lame pattern to security control and internal system preferences.

"Firefox.app" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet...

This is a topic that has been posted before but I'm creating a new one because the previous discussion is closed and none of the answers solved my problem.
Each and every time I launch Firefox, I receive the following warning, - “Firefox.app” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
For the record, I have tried the following fixes with no success:
- Removed the Firefox folder from user/library/application support both as a user and as an admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin. and launched Firefox. The message continues to pop up after doing this, while still logged in as admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin, went to Terminal and listed the attributes. The "com.apple.quarantine" attribute does exist, however, when I tried removing it with (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <FILE NAME>), I am told that the attribute DOESN'T exist. Huh?
I am trying to avoid completely removing Firefox and doing a fresh install but it may come down to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I had a similar problem with another application. I downloaded an update to an application from the developer, and then got this message every time I ran the program. There's a script to disable this behavior entirely on MacWorld's macosxhints site.
I didn't want to disable this behavior for good, just for this one program. I realized that I had downloaded it as one user, but the first use (of the update) was as a different user. I logged in under the user ID that I used when I downloaded the application and ran the program. After that, the warning went away.
My guess is that you did something similar. Log in as the user ID you used when you first downloaded the updated FireFox and run the program. The warning should go away.
If you can't remember which user ID you used, try the brute force approach - log in as each of your user IDs and run FireFox.
Good luck!

Why do I get a 'Certutil: A referral was returned from the server' error when trying to publish my renewed Offline Root CRL to AD?

Hi,
I renewed my Offline Root CA and now trying to publish the CRL to AD on my Sub Issuing CA with the Certutil -dspublish command, however I get a 'Certutil: A referral was returned from the server' error. Kinda makes sense cause the Offline Root CA is
not on the network, so then how do I publish my renewed CRL to AD given this?
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Looks like your CRL do not include Active Directory container specification and certutil don't know where to publish the CRL.
Does root CA define LDAP url in CDP extension? If not, then you don't need to publish CRL in Active Directory, because no one will use it.

my apple tv (1st gen) has worked fine for a year/ All of a sudden it has stopped displaying any movies or tv. It only displays my movies or my tv that has been previously down loaded. however it appears connected wirelessly with good signal strength. Have tired swithing off both router and apple TV. Any ideas?

This is a known, ans ongoing issue. Rest assured you're not the only one affected. There are several threads here already discussing this, I suggest searhing them out if you want more details, and possible work-arounds for locally hosted content.

Can't get rid of an app's icon from the menu bar (the app is already deleted)

i deleted an app the old fashion way (1st drag it to the trash and 2nd empty trash). That App was Logmein. The problem is that now i have logmein's icon at my desktop's menu bar and can't get rid of it. Please help

You didn't delete all the application, of course. (There was an uninstaller, but I guess it's gone now.) You could try a search with command F for all Logmein stuff, make sure to include system files in your search. Maybe have a look in /Library/Application Support .
This might help.

How do you get an ipa off your iPad to backup if the app was removed from the app store and using "Transfer purchases" does not copy the ipa over to iTunes?

Hello everyone. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? If I downloaded an app from the app store called "Print to PDF" that allows opening any application and going to print converts that to a PDF e.g. Safari pages, mail etc and I did not sync or "transfer purchases" for some time and when I look in the app store that app is no longer there so I thought if I could "transfer purchases" iTunes would then have the .ipa and I could back it up and copy it to my iPad 2 but I don't see the ipa in the "mobile applications" directory. How do I get it off my iPad and into iTunes to backup?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Ashka, I have tried to "transfer purchases from device" but that is what I am saying that I do not see the app in the "mobile applications" directory after I do that process. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a way to get to the ipa file that is stored on the iPad such as a program that could browse the directories of the iPad of even an app that could do it so I can get and save the actual app in ipa format.

If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID. If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

I just got a new Mac Airbook with MAC OS 10.6.8 and now every time I load Firefox, it tells me it was downloaded from the internet and am I sure I want to open it. How can get rid of that message?

I know this is a standard MAC message but I never got it with Firefox before changing computers. I also downloaded Firefox 5.0 and it is still doing it.

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

How do I disable the feature that asks, "...is an application that was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" I get this message every time I double-click to unpack a zip file.

I am using Firefox 6.0 (I know it's an older version, but I am a doctoral student at a university that is whose system is, at this time, only compatible with this version) on an Intel Mac.
