How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
Help!
Thanks,
numetro

How can we shut off messaging on the Mac book pro?

I have just purchased a Mac Book Pro for one of my kids. We have iPads and iPhones etc in the household. With his new laptop the messaging feature means that whenever anyone face times or messages a different family member, he also gets that on his laptop. How can we prevent this?

Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Remove the Apple ID that he shares with your family.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.

How can I shut off the iPodService?!?!?

With iTunes 5.x, you could set the iPodService to "Disabled" and keep it from running (useful if you DIDN'T own an iPod!).
But with iTunes 6.0.2, every time you start the app, it reenables the service.
How can I shut this damned service off for good? I *don't* have an iPod!!!

ctl-alt-del > Task Manager > Processes tab, you can end it there.
Maybe you can use these MSCONFIG directions to disable the iPod Service permanently.

You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

How can I shut off software update prompts

Hello,
We use iPads - mostly 2nd gens - at some customer sites for tracking times. The devices are in kiosk cases, locked down, no access to the Home button, gestures shut off, etc, etc. Essentially, once on the screen we wanted displayed, there is no option for the average user to get to the homescreen or to perform an update.
However, recently with the release of iOS 7 we had a couple folks at these customer sites call us indicating that an end user had started the upgrade process to iOS7. We'd previously heard of this happening last year as well after iOS6 was released. but with the devices located remotely, we coudn't determine what exactly took place with absolute certainty.
According to ALL the forums posts I've read, there is abosutely no way that an iPad simply updates/upgrades itself - even to just DL'ing the new file - it requires a user to indicate that it should do so. But we were being told that the iPad prompted them to do so...even though all the forums said that the devices don't prompt.
I've been an iOS user for about 3 years now, and hadn't previously seen a prompt to update iOS...until I turned on one of our local iPads today for some testing...and was greated by an onscreen Alert/prompt for 7.0.2.
See this image:
So the question I have is - is there a way for me to shut this off? We've already reviewed the Notifications settings - all of which are off.
This seems to be more of a base-OS level notification. The problem is that this prompts up on the screen in the middle of our own desired screen, and allows an end-user to selecte "Details" and then start the installation process for the update, completely by-passing all efforts and steps to prevent the very thing from happening.
If anyone knows how to shut this off, I'd love to know.
Thanks.

It would appear that my .png image is broken. I'll attempt another screen shot at some point - when I get prompted again.
But I'm absolutely stunned that not one other person has made comment on this. Is NO one else out there experiencing problems of the nature we are? No one else is being prompted for iOS updates that they'd prefer not to get??

How can I turn off all sharing on my Macbook

I am a new Mac user and although I love it I am unfamiliar with the sharing options and how they work. I haven't gotten a clear answer yet but my question is how can I ensure that I am not sharing any of my files. I can see other users who are sharing. Will other users still be able to see me if I am not sharing and how do I turn it off. Thank You.

Go to System Preferences -> Sharing. If everything there is turned off, nobody can access any of your files remotely.
For that matter, even if you have stuff turned on, if it's all configured correctly, someone would need to know a password to access anything.

How can I shut off built in camera and use another one?

I'm trying to use one of Apple's older auxillary cameras to shoot auditions.People will sit on the other side of my computer.
I plug it into my Imac, but the system doesn't recognize it and I continue to see only
myself. How can I turn the other camera on?

How can I turn the other camera on?
With the external (Firewire) iSight connected, (do not chain external iSight with other Firewire devices) if your  > System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire does not recognize the external iSight, use the suggestions here to test whether your old iSight is still functional:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
Once your system recognizes both cameras, be sure to rotate the ring at the front lens cover of the external iSight clockwise to turn it on and open the lens shutter.
With more than one working camera recognized by your system, most camera-capable applications have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way. For example:
• iMovie 9 ('11) uses a choices bar in the "Import from Camera" window:
More info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
• For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
• Photo Booth uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use. Remember, camera choice for any app will be available only if more than one working camera is recognized by your system. With only one camera, the choices will not be visible.
• For FaceTime,if your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
• QuickTimeX uses Preferences to select between connected cameras.
QTX video Preference settings are visible only when you have a new video recording window open. The image below shows how to access QTX video Preferences from an open video recording window:
Note that only one webcam (iSight) is shown in this image because I had only one camera connected to my Mac at the time. When more than one compatible camera is connected, you will see the additional camera name and can select it in this menu.
• For cameras connected via Flash browser plugins, control-click on an open video window and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
• For other apps, check the app's menu items or Help to find out how to select between connected cameras.
