How can I disable Firefox asking me to confirm a resend when I hit BACK button?

When I hit the back key after doing a search and clicking on a result, Firefox usually, but not always, asks me to confirm resending before taking me back. This is very annoying. I can't find any option to disable this.
Is there some way to disable this, or can I suggest it as an enhancement? When I click on BACK, I just want it to go back without prompting me to confirm it.

Got this from a buddy, been working fine so far.

  • In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

    In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

    Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
    // Mouse Up script for check box 
    // If checked, certain fields should be disabled 
    var f_prefix = "Co"; 
    // Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields 
    var f = getField(f_prefix); 
    // Reset the Co fields 
    resetForm([f_prefix]); 
    if (event.target.value === "Off") { 
        // Enable the Co fields 
        f.readonly = false; 
        f.fillColor = color.transparent; 
    } else { 
        // Disable the Co fields 
        f.readonly = true; 
        f.fillColor = color.gray; 
    To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!

  • How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

    We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • How can I stop Firefox asking me to update to a newer version?

    It seems like every couple of days, I get a message from Firefox telling me I should update to a newer version. I don't want to do that. I'm happy with the version I have. How can a stop these messages, other than going to Safari (I'm a Mac user).

    Why Man?
    Upgrade to firefox 4. You will be amazed to see its performance.
    37,822,332 Users are using it and it is still counting.
    Anyway if you want your current version, then do this:
    # Press Alt+T
    # Click on Options
    # Go to Advanced Panel
    # Go to Update tab
    # Uncheck the box Automatically check Updates to Firefox
    See if it works.

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.
    <nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • How can I get firefox to remember my most used websites when I change tabs?

    Have downloaded a new firefox and whilst the history is remembered I can't get my most used websites to comeup and when I move away from home page I get trovi which I have never used and don't want to use - just want things as they were

    Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

  • How can I disable the printing out of zone.property vars when using jpdk test page?

    I have had a tar in on this question for two weeks now. Since
    the only response I have gotten is wip, I was hoping someone
    here might have some ideas.
    When I run the /servlet/sample page after setting up my JPDK, it
    runs just fine. HOWEVER, it displays all the initargs that I
    have in my zone.properties on the screen. I don't want these
    args to be seen.
    How do I disable the display of initargs on the /servlet/sample
    test page?
    For example, this is what displays:
    Congratulations! You have succesfully reached your Provider's
    Test Page.
    Checking for components:
    Portlets are:
    Test
    FilePortlet
    SystemNav
    Oracle Jsp detected
    Recognizing initArgs: Usual initArgs are provider_root and
    sessiontimeout
    snode http://sys/home
    pswd snvs
    uname sysa1
    debuglevel 1
    I do not want the initArg variables to show up on this page,
    since I have username and password variables that I use in my
    servlets.
    Any ideas will be appreciated.

    I got a reply on my tar.
    Apparently I have to edit the HttpProvider.java to change this
    behavior.
    Regards.

  • How can I stop Firefox asking to install things from its extension folder every time it starts up?

    This happens with both versions of Firefox 3.6.28 and 22. (I have removed the latest version because I had so much trouble with it and no, I don't want it back and I am fully aware of the dangers the old versions put me in, thank you!) I have tried to delete the things from the extension folder, but the items it is asking to install aren't in there.
    I am using XP with SP3.

    This can happen if you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions (i.e. the version listed in compatibility.ini is different).<br />
    You should always use separate profiles for each Firefox version.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Multiple_Firefox_Profiles
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • How can I disable firefox on macbook pro

    I want to disable fireox or uninstall it. How do I accomplish one of these tasks?

    I don't think it's Firefox that's the issue, rather your Library file that contains the instructions which browser is your preferred one to launch.
    No browser should erupt in the middle of PhotoShop, InDesign or Word unless there is some sort of background upgrade process or a link you clicked in those programs that reqiure the browser (any browser) to launch.
    If it does, then it's just going to bring Safari into your face just like Firefox.
    I think you need to look into the possibility something is further wrong with your machine, I suspect perhaps you may have accidentially installed a adware trojan and/or perhaps one of your preference (.plist) files in your Library (hidden) is corrupted.

    Firefox works extremely well and very user friendly, it's quite frankly the best browser, the most customizable, the most add-ons and themes and is the fastest one if you know how to tweak it.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • How can I turn off asking me to save a password when I NEVER want to save a password ever anywhere?

    I am using my work computer to log into gmail, aol, etc. via Firefox. And because of security, I NEVER want Firefox to save a password for any website I log into. Consequently, every time I log into anything via Firefox I get that annoying drop down menu asking if I want to save the password, never save the password or not now. If there a way for me to turn this off completely and stop asking me that and NEVER save a password?

    Check a setting.
    #click either:
    #*Firefox button > Options > Options > Security
    #*Tools > Options > Security (if using the Menu Bar)
    #if "'''''Remember passwords for sites'''''" is checked, un-check it

  • How can i disable turning the text from black to red when hovering over with a mouse in some forums?

    In some forums posts turn to red when the mouse is in the forum post box. That didn't happen in previous versions of Firefox. It also happens in Opera if that is helpful. Thank you for the help.

    You're welcome

  • How can I get Firefox to stop saving the open tabs when it closes and reinstating them the next time it opens?

    Even tho' I've set options for Firefox to delete history when it closes, it still remembers my open tabs and tries to reinstate them the next time it starts. This causes two problems: 1) it takes longer for Firefox to close, such that if I start it again a few sec later it is still running and won't restart; 2) it sometimes reopens websites I am no longer want when it next starts. The latter also makes the last sites I visited visible to the next user, which I (and I suspect most other users) want to avoid. I would like to turn this feature off since it is far more of a problem than a benefit!

    @cor-el
    I have the same problem.
    My settings are already configured to "Show a blank page". It does show a blank page normally, but when FF crashes, it attempts to reload all the tabs from the previous session when it restarts. My version is: Firefox/3.6.13, and I'm running XP sp3 if that matters.
