How can I disable an annoying character popup?

I keep getting popups like this (http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy131/redknight680/ScreenShot2013-11-24at7325 9PM_zps5ef04998.png) whenever I play Flash games. It's rather irritating, as it blocks part of the screen, and I have no idea how to disable it. I've looked around in System Preferences, but I didn't see anything that looks like it. I'm sure it's not just that game, or even that site, since it's been happening ever since I upgraded to Mavericks. Anyone know any way to disable it?
I haven't changed my browser since I upgraded, so I'm sure that it isn't Chrome that's causing this.

Those are special characters from holding down a key for a couple seconds. Go here to disable it.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.

I need to know how to permanently disable that annoying survey popup that appears about every 10 minutes. I've taken the survey twice.

I've taken the survey twice. If I can't disable it, I will move to another browser.

Which "survey"?
If it is a "Feedback" survey from Mozilla, disable the '''Feedback''' extension.

How can I disable the Security Settings popup in Acrobat XI?

We are currently using Acrobat X and are getting ready to upgrade to version XI. We dynamically set the security settings w/a button in the toolbar menu to secure documents. Works great. However, while testing the same functionality in version XI a popup always appears when this function is called. The settings are correct in the security setting popup but we do not need the popup to actually appear. Is there a way to disable the popup from appearing? It's confusing my users.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Adobe generally has quarterly updates for Acrobat/Reader. If they decide to fix this, I'd be surprised if it made the first one (January 2013?), so it would probably be more like April/July, but that's just a guess. When you submit the bug report, be sure to include how much this negatively affects your workflows and prevents you from upgrading.

How can I disable the sync alert popup that came with the new Lion update?

Lately a Sync Alert window has been popping up in the middle of the computer screen at odd and inconvenient times. The message is: "Syncing with Google Contacts will change more that 25% of your contacts or groups on this computer." Then there are buttons for "Show Details," "Sync Later" and "Sync Conacts." These alerts started popping up a few days ago. I have searched in the Google apps to which I subscribe as well as Preferences and Utilities for whatever initiates this alert but can't find anything. Anybody know how to put a stop to these alerts?

Hi,
I think that you may have tried signing in to photoshop.com which no longer exists.
Please see if this document helps.

How can i disable checkbox/radio button/popup/butt...

In Xhtml, to disable a form element we use disabled="disabled". but how to disable form elements in mobile?.

It actually does work. What you have to do is drag another icon down to the bottom left where the radio is defaulted. It will automatically kick up one of the other icons that is highlighted. For example, I dragged the Songs icon down and the Genius icon popped up to the top. Then I dragged the genius back down to the second spot and the Radio one goes to the right until it pops up. You just have to do it four times.
It's kind of a pain, but it does work. Give it a try. This is what it ends up looking like.

When I'm on an email FF stops me from linking to other pages/sites. Requires that I press Allow. This started recently. How do I disable this annoying feature?

When I am reading an email that I received and want to follow a link in that email, FF prevents me from doing so. It shows a new pane informing me that FF has prevented me from following the link. If I click the "Allow" button in the upper left-hand corner, I am then linked through.
This does not happen when I am on a particular website. In that case I have no trouble navigating the indicated links.
FF Preferences does not give me a way to disable this annoying feature that slows me down.
This problem started recently - possibly the last two weeks. It recurs whenever I use FF.

Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

How can I disable window snapping/docking?

Ever since CS4 came out I feel like I've been less productive in Photoshop due to annoying window dock/snapping. Windows are constantly sticking and resizing themselves in ways that blocks the work I am trying to do. Also the main image itself automatically resizes to feet the work space and I find this also an annoyance. This is my main question: How can I disable "sticky" windows?
In fact if there a way to get the old classic skin back that would be great, also...because all the programs in CS4 are missing a handle bar at the top of the window, making it difficult to find a place to click to drag the window around...which also wastes time. Sometimes the classic skin is visible underneath buttons in graphic glitches..
Finally, is there a way to disable hardware acceleration completely? My processor is fast enough that it can complete tasks faster than the latency of accessing the GPU, so hardware acceleration actually slows things down. Also the hardware code has bugs in it that prevents me from opening massive images (eg, 21600 x 21600 image crashes).

Edit, preferences. Everything is there to play with

I'm having an issue with a bouncing or "creeping" effect when I type in TextEdit; after having ugraded to Snow Leopard.
I'm now cross-posting a bit, I can't find my way around here; doing the best I can:
While typing in an rtfd new file, as I'm on the first line, the page starts creeping down until it's the very bottom line. When I get to the end of the line and it wraps, the page jumps up to about 5 or 6 lines and each few letters I type on the new line cause it to creep back down so it's the bottom line, until I get to the end of the next line, where I get a 5-6-line jump again, and then the creep again. This has to be one of the most annoying things ever, and makes me want to go get a different text editor. I use TextWrangler, but I've become used to TextEdit for quick things, and for a few specific things, but now I'm not loving it anymore.
Help please?

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.
