How can I disable Safemode in Firefox 24.2.0

Hi
We use FFox in a corporate environment due to issues with IE on certain intranet pages.
The existing version 17 had a number of files that we used to customise and lock down firefox, ie preventing users going in in safe mode etc.
These files no longer appear to be present in v24.2.0
I need to prevent users from pressing the shift key and entering ffox in safemode as they could disable/remove the plugins we use to assist locking down the application.
Can someone please advise on how I can achieve this in this version.
thanks

How can i disable scrolling on firefox mobile ?

I want to disable scrolling for my responsive website, when a colorbox (like a lightbox) is layered over the page (as div, not as iframe).
Scrolling should only be available for the colorbox-div, but not for body or html.
Therefore, I set "html" and/or "body" to "overflow:hidden" with the help of jquery. That works in chromium mobile and in the desktop versions of FF and chromium, but I can't figure out why I still have the scrollbar in Firefox on Android.
Is this a know 'problem'? What can I do?

How can I disable prompts for Firefox updates on a Terminal Server (Citrix)?

Does any know how I can disable updates and update prompting in Citrix for Firefox 3.6?
I've got a 3rd party application that has lots of problems in Firefox 4, so I can't upgrade at this time. I just want to stop users from getting this prompt.

Thank you for the quick reply, but I've already tried that, it only affects the one user that un-checks the box. All other users still get prompted.
I'm trying to avoid having to have every single user go through this process.

How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?

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.

The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"

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?

This add-on will let mobile Firefox send the same headers as desktop Firefox, so that web sites will offer desktop versions by default:

I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox version 7.0.1, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature.

Hi [email protected]
If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
</blockquote>
thank you for responding.
this does not solve my problem, as i mentioned the problem is with the HTML5 player, i've been using flash player since forever and used to open up to 50 tabs without having any problems, with the new default html5 thingy i cannot open a couple of tabs without the browser dying slowly.. my original question was how can i disable the HTML5 player and make the flash player be the default player

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

How can I disable (not hide) the Boomarks Toolbar?

I have installed the "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus 1.2" extension. In the Firefox customize toolbars box I dragged the Firefox bookmarks toolbar to the right of my home button instead of where it normally is. I then Right-clicked on the toolbar and unticked "Bookmarks Toolbar".
However whenever I restart Firefox the toolbar re-appears. How can I disable it from appearing?

My extensions don't work on Firefox 12 so that doesn't help me.
I should also point out that if I format my hard drive and re-install Windows and Firefox 5 then I don't get this problem but that's a lot of hassle.
I only get this problem when I install a new version of Firefox when I already have a previous version installed.
So before installing the new version I uninstalled Firefox and selected the option to delete my settings. I then checked my profile folder to make sure nothing was there. I then reinstalled Firefox again and all the same extensions with the same settings as before and I still get this problem.
So it's quite disturbing that I deleted all traces of Firefox yet I get this problem again which makes me think that not everything was deleted.

No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.
