Firefox ignores synthetic Key-clicks. Is there a way to turn this feature off

Hi,
I want to send synthetic key presses to Firefox in Xubuntu using "xdotool key "f11" or something similar. However, firefox ignores all synthetic keys when it is running. Is there a way to turn that feature off?
I have looking through About:config but did not see anything that would help.
Thank you.

Hello AshCox,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
You can use information from the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
Specifically from the section "If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices". #2 says "Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>You Can Be Reached by iMessage At and make sure that you select each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage." This same thing works in reverse, if you are receiving iMessages on a device and you don't want to, just unselect the phone number and email address you no longer want to use. 
Regards,
Jeff D.

  • Sometimes when I roll the cursor across a bookmark, my browser jumps to that web page without me clicking on it. Is there any way to turn this function off?

    On occasion I will roll my cursor across a bookmark and my browser will take me to that web page without me clicking on it. I've been unable to detect a pattern; it seems to happen randomly. Can someone explain why this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening? And if so, can I be given instructions how to do that?

    this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

  • Undo/redo generate 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    Running into issue with undo/redo(ctrl-z,ctrl-y) generating 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    Sounds like some strange shortcut key conflict.
    The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW.  Be sure hidden files & folders are enabled in Windows Explorer.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system

    Hello David.
    Go into ''Tools > Options > General > Startup:When Firefox starts:'' and configure it as you want (probably to show your home page?). This is the very first option that appears in the options screen, but I understand that it may not be very easy to find. Firefox 4 will not include any redesign to the options screen (except possibly it appearing in a tab, rather than in a popup), but you may interested to know that there are plans to redesign the options screen for versions after Firefox 4, to make it easier to use. If you want to know more about the redesign, just ask.
    Anyway, if that doesn't help (it probably does, but just in case), it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • The front facing camera of the iPhone 5 automatically flips/mirrors the image right after it is taken. This is annoying since I would like for the image to look the same way it did while it was captured is there a way to stop this feature?

    Right after I take a picture using the camera which is made to face you the image is flipped as soon as it saves to my library. Is there a fix for this? Ive read a few other posts saying apple intended for the software to do this but I was wondering if there was an option to turn this feature off.

    I actually tried the steps below due to the error -5000 I had encountered during the previous tries updating my IOS to 5.1.1
    "Perform a normal sync and check your iTunes to make sure everything was synced in the right places like the tabs at the top of your "summary" when you plug in your iPhone to iTunes.  If everything is there and all the right boxes are checked for the stuff you want to save, then put your phone into recovery mode by keeping it plugged into your computer with iTunes still up and running. Next you want hold down the power button AND the home key button (the big button on the bottom part of your screen) AT THE SAME TIME. Your phone will go thru 4 different screens before you
    Can let them go.  U will see your normal power off slider screen, then a black screen, then a black screen with an apple logo, then finally a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of a sync cable below it. Once you see this screen LET BOTH BUTTONS GO but not before you see this screen.  Your computer will tell you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, say ok.  Then hit the restore button on your iTunes summary screen, it should then ask you if you want to restore from a backup and update, say yes.... And at the end of its restoring and uploading you should have iOS 5!!"
    Then it proceeded to a reactivation process... =(

  • I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

    I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

    The light cannot be turned off, but if you stop by at the office supply store and get a sheet of small 1/2" white routnd labels, you can place a few over the light to dim it significantly. Add more labels as needed to adjust for the brightness level you want to achieve.
    Of course, you could use a piece of tape, but the white labels look much nicer and won't be noticeable once you get 4-5 feet away from the device.

  • Program is launching firefox automatically when it closes, is there a way to prevent this?

    A game, upon closing opens up firefox automatically and goes to a website. Is there a way to prevent this from happening some how?

    This is entirely controlled by the game software and cannot be prevented by Firefox. Try changing the game settings.

    my sleep/wake button is sinking in so its not working is there any way to turn my ipod off

    nope. If your under warranty apple will cover it. If not find a repair shop. You can try looking for an app but if it turns off then you cant turn it back on!

  • Is there any way to turn an iPhone off without pushing the power button (it's broken)?

    Power button on my 4s is broken.  Is there any way to power the phone off besides the power button / slider shut down combination?

    Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. If you touch and hold Lock Screen you will get the "slide to power off". This will turn OFF iphone. To turn iPhone ON, connect with USB cable to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • FireFox used to highlight visited links...then it suddenly stopped. Is there a way to turn that feature back on?

    Firefox used to show previously visited links in a different color. That was great for browsing Craigslist ads. Now suddenly it won't highlight visited links anymore. Don't know what made it change. Is there a "preference" somewhere that will allow me to turn that feature back on?

    Hello, I am having the same problem (with Firefox 4.0.1) but with a twist.
    If i click on several links (say, from a seller on eBay), the clicked links ''will'' be highlighted and they ''will'' also be entered and remembered in the Firefox HISTORY window.
    However, if i open another ''identical'' page in a NEW tab/window, those same links will NO LONGER BE HIGHLIGHTED (i.e., one page shows the link highlighted whereas the other page does not)!!! Thus, it appears as if NEW tabs/windows are *not* checking the HISTORY and highlighting previously visited links.
    Thus, there is no way for any NEW tab/window to highlight the link since it apparently does not properly check the history. This gives the impression that the highlighting "goes away" after a certain time has elapsed, whereas, it is only due to opening a NEW tab/window and expecting to see the previous link highlighted.
    Note: I have Firefox set to "remember history" and i am not in the "private browsing" mode.
    Note: There is also some inconsistency here as ''some'' prior links ''will'' remain highlighted days after i initially clicked on the link (as they all should) whereas others will not (as described above). There does not appear to be any way to tell which links will be remembered and which ones will not.
    Thus, there is some pernicious code bug in this version of Firefox which needs to be ferreted out.

  • Firefox - is there a way to implement this feature?

    I personally enjoy the convenience of the addons firefox has to offer, but there is one thing from Windows I wish I retained, and that is when I try to insert a file, I want to view all the thumbnails rather than the one of the file that I am highlighting. This feature is present in the rekonq browser, but I wish to keep my addons. Is there a way to implement the rekonq's file browser into firefox, or something much like it?

    In Firefox, in gtk native environment, by default you see thumbnails, but first you need to create they: just first open the folder that has the pictures with Nautilus; after this you can see the thumbnails in firefox.

  • Is there a way to turn bluetooth on/off with one click

    I'd like to be able to turn bluetooth on and off directly from my home screen, instead of going thorugh settings>general>bluetooth>on/ff>pair device procudure. Is there a way to do that? If not, apple should definitely add it to iOS5, because bluetooth is such a battery, it would be nice to turn it off with one-click.

  • My forwart text feature on IOS 8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know how to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone, is there another way to fix this feature?

    my forward text message feature on IOS8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone. Is there any other way to fix this?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?

  • Is there a way to turn my notifications off while on a telephone call?

    Is there a way to temporary in off notifications while on a call? I do not want to turn if off completely just while on the phone. It's a bit irritating and distracting during business calls.

    Use the mute switch. It's the slider just above the volume buttons.
