Firefox keeps prompting users to disable java plugins How can reinable them through the command line or registry?

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Outdated versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to an actively exploited security issue.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.

You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive. how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

Firefox keeps prompting an update, but can't complete it. It gets stuck on "Connecting to the Server" and runs for hours until I stop it. Help!

I have a Mac OS X ver. 10.5.8 and I've used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?) ago. The most recent update for both Firefox and Thunderbird keeps prompting me, but when I say "yes" to update, a bar appears with lines moving through it and it says, "Connecting to the update Server" but it never gets any farther. I've left it for hours at a time and it won't actually update either program.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Firefox 3.6.11 on Linux is not recognizing any plugins how can I fix this?

I'm running Enterprise linux 5.5 64-bit. I have tried installing the java plugin and can't get Firefox to recognize it. I could not get flash to work either.

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

I keep getting the an Alexa Sparky pop-up each time I open Firefox, it does not provide a "no" option... how can I permanently stop the popup?

Every time I open Firefox, I get a pop-up asking me to install the Alexa Sparky toolbar--which I do not want. The pop-up box does not offer an option to say "no" or "do not ask me again", which is VERY annoying. How can I permanently stop the popup?

How to disable extensions, Personas, and plugins
Disabling an add-on will turn it off without removing it:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Appearance or Plugins panel.
Select the add-on you wish to disable.
Click the Disable button.
Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
To re-enable the add-on, find it in the list of Add-ons and click Enable, then restart Firefox.

User with admin rights can't access files through the command prompt

I have a strange situation where I have 2 users both setup exactly the same with admin rights on a 2003 (32 bit) server through an AD group membership, but one can do everything as expected but the other can't.
The one that can't is trying to execute a program is a command prompt and keeps getting access denied or invalid directory when trying to cd into the folder. I double and tripled check the permissions and they are correct, this person should have
full admin. In fact I did a effective permissions through explorer and it states full rights. Along those lines this person can also access the folder in question through explorer just not a command prompt.
Has anyone seen this before ? and if so what can be done about it.
Thanks

Hi,
Can the user execute the program through explorer? In Windows Server 2003, the Users group does not have Read and Execute permissions to the command processor (Cmd.exe).
You could refer to the article below to resolve the issue:

Be careful of "Prompt user to change password before expiration" policy -- it's counting the days wrong!!

After several tests, I'm pretty sure that the policy "Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration" is counting the wrong days. (Note: this policy is in Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security
Options) So I think I should post this in the forum in the hope that it could be helpful to others in the same case as me, esp if the policy is pushed out as a domain-wide policy.
First, the context of the test, ie domain-wide policy settings:
1. Password minimum age = 2 days
2. Password maximum age = 4 days
3. Prompt user to change password before expiration = 2 days
If everything is going fine, users will be asked to change password when it is changeable (ie it has reached the minimum age). However, it turns out that users are prompted BEFORE they can change password. Look at the image below that I got in
Win7:
(In WinXP, we have similar prompt when user has just logged in)
Look at the clock: it's 13:16 (04/12/2013). Then look at the DOS window in which I ran the "net user /domain" command and read the line "Password expires": it's shown
06/12/2013 18:09:04.
A little math would tell me that if users are prompted to change password *2 days* before expiration, the dialog will appear
ONLY AFTER 04/12/2013 18:09:04. But since the prompt is shown at 13:16 (ie well before 18:09), that mean the "prompt user...." policy makes mistakes in calculating the moment to show the prompt.
In other words, if we have the policy set like this:
Prompt user to change password before expiration =
N days
The prompt will actually appear from N+1 days before expiration.
I would consider this as a bug, but I also suppose it's hard to make Microsoft fix it. So that's why I make this post to warn others. In my case, I have received several calls from users complaining that they were prompted to change password
but their new passwords were always refused and they had no idea what went wrong. And it took me a lot of effort to sort out what really went wrong. And in order to work around this stupid bug, I have to change the "Prompt user...." policy
to N-1 days (before expiration) instead of N days previously.
Hope this help

Hi,
Based on my research, you are right that the prompt policy is implemented by date, which is by design.
“Set
Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration to 5 days. When their password expiration
date is 5 or fewer days away, users will see a dialog box each time they log on to the domain”, I quoted this sentence from the article below:
Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj852243.aspx
The problem is consistency! For Minimum/Maximum password age properties, they are also defined for
days as well. But for them, days are exact days, ie a
multiple of exactly 24 hours. There is an "Explain" tab for every parameter, but even if you read them through, you can't tell if day means strict multiple of 24 hours or loose definition of days. I'll leave the exercise to you to read
them if you like and spare me the article from your KB library.
As for the password minimum age part, what I mean is that is why users can’t not change their password within 2 days when the prompt appears before the changeable time.
Anyway, I agree with you that we need to be careful when we configure the password policy because the Prompt policy is not doing calculation by hours.
Miss, the 2 days is just a TEST EXAMPLE. Let's say it's
N days if you was unable to understand. I wouldn't change N days to N-1 days because of this stupid GUI bug. As I said earlier and let me repeat it once more,
Minimum password age = N days is a security policy and it is more important than the user prompt and no security officer with sane mind will change this.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
