Fix For The Plugin Tab Popping Up.

This is a possible fix for some users. It worked for me when the about:config option did not stop the popup.
Check your plug-ins for one called Metastream. If it's there you can just disable it and the problem will go away.
If you want to remove it, you have a couple of options.
First look for a program called Viewpoint Player. You may have had this years ago (mine was 2004), and uninstalled it already. The files are still active.
Look for it in the add / remove programs area first. If it's there, uninstall it. This program was not listed on my system.
If it's not there, the goto (in XP), Program Files\Viewpoint and delete everything in that folder, then delete the folder.
If the plugin still is present, goto Program Files\Firefox\plugins and delete the 2 files with viewpoint in their names.
This should clean up the flag that makes your Firefox start the plugin tab.
Hope this helps a few people out there.
If this help you, please reply to keep it at the top of the page so others will see it.

I know if you right click on the menu bar you can fix it, but since there is no menu bar anymore, this isnt working. i looked up how to do it in the forum found out you can press alt and do it that way, maybe i didnt do right, but that didnt work either.please help me!

    If that still doesn't work then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
    You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
    Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
    Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

    Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

    Current recommendations is turn Java off.  Generally you don't need it.  Do not confuse it with Javascript which you do need for your browsers.   
    You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).
    More new tricks from Flashback
    How to check for and disable Java in OS X
    Protect Yourself from the Mac OS X Java Vulnerability
    If it turns out you need it for some specific application or web site that you trust then turn it on only when running that application or visiting that site. If your work requires Java be enabled then at least disable it in your browsers.
    If you do need to run Java, be sure that you pick up the Java Software Update 7 posted recently that takes 10.6 and 10.7 up to Java SE 6 revision 31.
    Flashback is a moving target with lots of strains (various versions, permutations) and changing all the time.  So who knows what's next?

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

    How can I just disable "navigation toolbar" completely for the App Tabs? I don't want to disable this for other normal tabs. This is important as otherwise while I am in the app tab, i mistakenly start browsing from that tab and meaning of the app tab is completely lost...

    Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

    Mac OS requires a minimum of 10 - 15% of total hard drive space available and empty at all times in order to operate properly.

  • Fix for the Aluminum Wire Keyboard?

    Im setting up programs & applications using a new macpro, however eject key doesnt function, as i ahve multi-disk installations...and even listening to itunes/wmp11 volume keys dont work.
    im just weary of drivers/updates as from previous built xp systems they seem to cause more harm than good and with reading alot of compatibility issues lately.
    im wondering if there is any known good fix.
    anyone try the new drivers?
    i just dont want to have to end up using 3rd Party key re-mappers.
    i like to keep it clean and minimal.
    thanks guys!

    I use the standard apple keyboard with my MacPro. When I installed 2.1 I got "Apple Kybd errors could not install" message. Subsequently the Eject Key worked for the upper dvd but Option|Eject wouldn't open the lower drive. After numerous installs I uninstalled 2.1 and installed Leopard 2.0 drivers. I got the same error message and the keyboard will work period. I run XP SP2 on its own internal drive.

  • Fix for the Identity change with Siri

    After trying all different ways to sync my phone and my wife's Iphone through the cloud sharing contacts and calenders, I think I have the fix for the identity change that Siri does.  I turned off the contact sync on iCloud and it stopped swapping identities.  I think that sharing contacts makes the iCloud think there is only one user.  Downside of the cloud but not worth the hassle factor.  I will sync contacts through iTunes.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

  • Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Because soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not.

    Question
    Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

    Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
    You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

    I've never even seen such a thing in SL. That said, it's pretty difficult to understand this so called "bug" without some sort of reference. Do you have a screen shot you could post?
    Edit: Never mind. Found more than a few sites talking about this issue. Here's one:

  • [svn:fx-trunk] 5170: Round 2 of bug fixes for the Spark skins for Halo components.

    Revision: 5170

    Log Message:
    Round 2 of bug fixes for the Spark skins for Halo components. Thanks to Alex for help with the data grid issues.
    Bugs fixed:
    SDK-19655 - Setting rowCount property on DataGrid causes extra blank row to be displayed
    SDK-19652 - Items in a DataGrid do not line up after scrolling.
    SDK-19605 - disabled Halo ColorPicker with Gumbo skin draws too dark
    SDK-19596 - When you have a single button on an Alert, the left edge looks flatter than the right
    SDK-19585 - Menus compiled with the halo theme in Flex 4 have a different backgroundColor than in Flex 3
    SDK-19665 - Halo List with Gumbo skin doesnt draw the alternating item color all the way to the right edge of the control if VScrollBar is present
    SDK-19651 - odd header rendering issue on Halo DataGrid with Gumbo skin
    QA Notes: The alert layout code was positioning the buttons/text on sub-pixel boundaries if the width or height of the alert was an odd number of pixels. We always snap to pixel boundaries now, but this may cause bitmap compare issues with Alert.
