How can I get Firefox to stop looking for uninstalled fonts?

Running Firefox 3.6.16 on MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.7: Every time I quit and restart Firefox, it searches my iDisk and finds uninstalled fonts (some of which are actually installed--these are original font files I purchased stored there). What looks like an OS box pops up saying Firefox wants permission to use these uninstalled fonts (and even though I click don't ask again for Firefox, these boxes pop up on every restart). This does not happen on my desktop Mac. Short of deleting the files, how can I stop Firefox from searching for uninstalled fonts? Thanks,

You can try this:
Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts:
# Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
# Open Font Book > Preferences
# Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
# Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to Computer
# Select all User fonts.
# Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
# Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

Updated Firefox is not compatible with my low vision software - Zoomtext. How can I get Firefox to stop asking me to upgrade!!

Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.

Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.
thank you

How do I get Logic to stop looking for a specific .wav file?

I recently imported a project I started in GarageBand into Logic Pro. Once in Logic, I edited and added to the project then saved it as a Logic project file. I deleted the original project from GarageBand. Now, when I open the Logic file, Logic is still looking for .wav files that were used in the original GarageBand file. None of these files are actually needed in my project. Is there a way that I can get Logic to stop looking for these .wav files?
Thanks for any help!

Do a cleanup.

How can I get firefox to stop moving the typing cursor to my homepages' search engine automatically?

What usually happens is when I open firefox I'll usually start typing in the url bar or in the browser search engine to the right of url bar. The problem is that while I'm in the middle of typing, firefox will move my cursor to the homepage's search engine. This gets annoying after awhile because I'll have to stop and reclick where I was typing at (sometimes it'll even move it back!). Is there a way to disable this so that firefox won't try to relocate my typing cursor every time a new page loads?

You can set to open a blank page on opening Firefox and click the Home button if you want to see the Home page. You can also click ESC to stop loading the page before typing in the location bar.
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show a blank page"

How can I get Firefox to stop trying to update to newer version

I don't want a newer version of Firefox and I'm tired of it always trying to update automatically to a newer version. When this happens, I can't get to the website I want. This has to stop, or I'm going back to Windows Explorer.

You can find the update settings here:
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Update: "Automatically check for updates":
If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)

Firefox keeps wanting me to update & License agreement is not available. How can I get Firefox to stop this behavior???

Firefox strongly suggests update but when I get to the license agreement it says it's not available...go to home page.. Can't find it there..can you either provide license agreement or stop asking me to update!? Thanks

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Once cleaned, how can i get Firefox to stop warning potentially malicious content on my site?

My site was hacked, now it's clean. I have requested removal from list of phishing sites from Google. Google has done so and taken off warning page in Chrome browser. Stopbadware.org lists status of site with white button, and there's no link to “Request an independent review of data providers’ findings.”
I have called Mozilla, left message, volunteer returned my phone call and informed me the sites were now listed as safe and the warning removed, BUT the warning for potentially malicious content still appears on my site in Firefox.
What more can I do??? This is really frustrating, and is really hurting my business!!!

Nevermind. I upgraded to Firefox 4 and then the warnings were gone.
Joy, joy, joy!

How can I get Firefox to stop causing "The connection was interrupted"?

I've recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.22 on my MacOSX 10.5.8 system. I connect to the internet via GoogleWifi. That connection now consistently fails immediately after Firefox launches when there is no Cache (I clear it every time I Quit from Firefox). Safari can make the connection, but Firefox consistently reports: "Problem loading page." "The connection was interrupted." Attempting to "Try Again" does no good, it still fails.

This is not helpful because 7.0.1 does not meet my System Requirements. There is no Mac OS X 10.4 version, and I always install the same version on all my systems. I've also read several reports of "problems" with 7.0.1, and wouldn't trust it on my 10.5 (Leopard) system.

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.

Can't get Firefox to stop asking for a profile on startup?

Hello,
I am currently running Firefox version 3.5.4 on a server that works somewhat like a kiosk. I downloaded the "Full Screen 3.4" Add-On which does what it is supposed to do just fine. I also created a symbolic link to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox executeable in /etc/init.d so when the computer boots up Firefox will startup automatically. But the problem is that after boot-up and firefox opens, it asks me to select a profile, even though I selected "Don't ask at Startup".
Why can't I get it to open without needing me to tell it a profile?
Thanks,
Matt

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

How can I get FIREFOX to store password for the public library, since it doesn't ask me when I go to that site ?

My password at a particular website was changed recently, so I
removed that site from the list of saved passwords in Firefox
manager. Now, when I visit that site, FIREFOX doesn't ask me
to save the password for this site.
WHY ?

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
