How can I avoid the plugin check page?

Every time I open Firefox now, I get a second tab taking me to the plugin checker page. I updated all the vulnerable ones, and I just don't want to see the thing every time I open firefox! Can I disable this annoying feature?

I uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player (and the AOL IM client "AIM", since apparently that's what forced Viewpoint Media Player on to my system.) Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I believe this plugin is triggering Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled. For me, after uninstalling Viewpoint Media Player, the "plugincheck always opening" problem then went away.
I see, however, that you do not have this plugin ("MetaStream") in your plugins list. So it may be that there is some other plugin of yours that is causing this tab to pop up. Go to Tools->Addons->Plugins(tab), and look in the list for any plugins with a red warning icon. If there are any, this is probably the plugin causing the problem.

  • How do I stop the Plugin Check page from appearing?

    Firefox 3.6.17, Win2K. Don't laugh at the OS, it just works.
    But I get the Plugin Check page every time I start Firefox. It doesn't help, because I have the most recent versions of all my plugins that support Win2K. I just *cannot* update my plugins.
    How do I kill off this screen?
    Well, you know, short of removing Firefox forever.

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' -- if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • I often get the message "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed / Reload the page to try again" but the plugin check page does not list Adobe Flash.

    The plugin check page does list something called 'Shockwave Flash." I went to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Flash but it still does not show up on the plugin check page. I don't see how Adobe Flash can be crashing in Firefox when Firefox doesn't even know that it's installed.

    Your System Details List shows the Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0 plugin as installed, so you appear to have the Flash plugin installed.
    You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    *http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
    What is the current setting for the Flash plugin on Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    How can I avoid the Local storage pop-up question dialog box during playing you tube vedios ?

    You might try tweaking your global privacy settings.  I suspect it's set to "always ask."
      Go to this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l -- which contains the settings panel for Flash Player, and click on the various "deny" buttons to disable this.  (It's a good idea to click on all the tabs to check the settings.)
    If this works for you, please post back.  (I know it worked for me.)

  • How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?

    This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
    Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
    Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
    Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.

    I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
    I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
    Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
    I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
    Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
    Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

  • How can I avoid the need to OFTEN refresh or recover HP 2000 notebook?

    How can I avoid the need to OFTEN refresh or recover HP 2000 notebook? Windows 8.0.

    I found your support page by searching E0M18UA#ABA (as opposed to EOM18UA#ABA) which I assume was a simple typo. To answer your original question, the answer is to identify and isolate the cause of the errors and issues you are experiencing. Once you identify each issue, you can find what it takes to get beyond them without having to refresh or recover so frequently.
    You can only troubleshoot and identify the issues that are currently happening. If you are getting freezing right now, first take a look at this document specific to the freezing to narrow down the cause: Computer Locks Up or Freezes (Windows 8)
    A link to this document is contained in the previous one, but it is worth pointing out that this might be valuable to test for hardware failures: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    Another valuable tool when trying to identify the source of the problems, is to perform a clean boot after having one of the issues and trying to recreate it. This shows how to  remove  startup items. A good strategy is to disable half of the available items first, then restart and try to recreate the issue. If you cannot recreate it then perhaps there is a problematic startup item. If you can recreate it then disable half more, and repeat a few times until you empty the startup items.: How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    I hope this helps, and by no means is this a recipe to fix your current issues, but a few strategies to help you better identify the issues.

  • Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

    Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

    Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
    The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
    I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !

  • How can I avoid the display of ORA-31684 during impdp import?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a cross-platform tablespace migration (from SunOS to RedHat Enterprise Linux).
    During the import with DataPump, I have several ORA-31684 error messages ("Object type TYPE : "OWNER"."OBJ_NAME" already exists"). Some of my TYPE objects exist already in the Linux instance of the DB. The messages appear only for 4-5 TYPE objects, while overall I have around 180 TYPE objects owned by the schema owner.
    How can I avoid the display of these error messages? I don't want to drop the TYPE objects individually from the Linux instance, as the object list may vary in time.
    Thank you,
    Adrian

    Hi,
    There is no way to tell the impdp to ignore those errors. They will be printed to the error log and to the screen where the job is being run.

  • I downloaded the latest Microsoft Office 2010 plugin. The Plugin Check page still lists it. Why?

    The Plugin Check page listed Microsoft Office 2010 with a research button. I clicked and i was taken to a page where I would download the Microsoft 2010 plugin. I believed that I did (along with a bunch of unnecessary garbage). I went back to the Plugin Check page and Microsoft Office 2010 was still there. Why?

    Mozilla only stores details about the latest version of a small number of plugins, these being the most widely used plugins such as Flash and Adobe Acrobat. For those plugins the scan will show if you have the latest version.
    For others plugins, including the Microsoft Office plugin, Mozilla does not have details of the latest version and instead it will display a Research button, that when clicked will perform a Google search. It will display the research button even if you have the latest version of the plugin.

  • How can I avoid the null values in cross tab?

    How can I avoid the null values in cross tab?

    Hello Anindita,
    Let me explain you the problem in detail.
    I have selected User and Program as rows in the cross tab. In Summarized Field I am counting the Programs.
    In DB I can have both User and Program null.
    Letu2019s take these scenarios...
    1) For a User, Program can be null
    2) For a Program, User can be null
    3) And both can be null.
    A null Program does not give problem since Cross tab does not count the null values and in my case too, it remove the Program which are null from the Cross tab because of the counting its doing on Program. Hence scenario 1 and 3 is not a Problem.
    Problem comes in scenario 2 (For a Program, User can be null).
    In this case since Program is not null it will get counted and will be grouped under null user but I donu2019t want to show the null user Grouping in my cross tab.
    "Suppress empty rows" and "suppress empty colums" does not help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amrita
