How can I stop my browser from opening additional window every time it starts pointing to add-ons upgrade page.

It start suddenly some days ago. I tried the conventional solutions like setting the home page, upgrading the addons marked for upgrade (although I really didn't want to upgrade the Shockwave flash - every time I do this I have some issue...) etc. but none of them helped me and i couldn't find some setting particulary about this. I'm having an antivirus solution and I doubt this to be some sort of infection.
So, this is the reason to try to find some answers here before change the browser. I'm using old version (version 12 if I recall it correctly), I know, but the newer ones.. I just don't like them much.
Thanks in advance!

Mhm.. this is what I wanted to avoid.
Anyway, I'll use the post to clarify that the page opened in the additional window is https://www.mozilla.org/bg/plugincheck/. Obviously the problem is not the addons, it is the plugins. If someone had resolved that issue could share his experiance.
Many thanks for the answer!

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

How can I stop Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

Edit>Preferences
Under Page Display:
Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
Also, under Search:
Click "Purge Cache Contents"

How can i stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV

I have a second collection in my web application for Project Server
http:\\servername\PWA.
Whenever I try to edit a page using sharepoint designer, it tells me that
The website has been configured to disallow page editing with Sharepoint Designer.
That isnt the reason. Searching on the interweb, It seems that whenever you have a second collection, designer always connects using Webdav and this doesn't support designer.
So ----- Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem without installing PWA as it's own Web Application?
Thanks in advance - Mickeal Davis

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV.
What’s the main reason of the problem that related to Project Site Template this by default set to DisableWebDesignFeatu es in
ONET.XML.
To enable edit Project Site in SharePoint Designer, you need to remove the DisableWebDesignFeatures="wdfopensite" from ONET.xml of the PWA site.
More information:

How can I stop Game Center from opening every time I finish a game?

I despise Game Center and don't want to use it. Every time I finish a game of Real Solitaire, Game Center opens and bothers me about not logging in. This is on an iPad 4/128gb. I never had this problem until I got the new iPad. Is there any help, or am I simply going to have to tolerate this unwelcome, unwanted intrusion?

You can also use the settings in Image Capture to set which devices open/not open specific Applications.
Open Image Capture from the Application folder and connect the camera or iphone. Once it is detected, you will be presented with an application opening list at the bottom left corner where you can select what happens when that device is connected including iPhoto, iTunes or none. Each device can be configured differently.
You may also have to go into the FinePix settings and see if there is a setting in that Application to turn off it automatically loading every time the camera is connected.
Hope this helps

How can I stop Private Browsing from retaining history of websites visited?

Whenever I go into "Private Browsing" and start to type in - www, a history of websites visited comes up. I thought that in Private Browsing, history was not retained!

<u>New</u> history is not kept, but existing history from normal mode is still there and can be accessed if you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.<br />
If you want to prevent that then you need to clear the history after you enter ''Private Browsing'' mode.

How do I stop Safari (v. 6.0) from opening previous tabs every time I start it?

Each time I open Safari it opens all the tabs from my previous session. I've looked at every setting I can think of but can't find one that will stop this from happening. What am I missing? Is anyone else also having this problem and if so, what did you do to correct it?

And ofcourse I found the answer as soon as I posted the question (doesn't it always happen that way?). I went to Preferences - General - and checked the box "Close windows when quitting an application".

How do I stop Game Center from logging me in EVERY TIME I open a game app?

And who is using my username and password to log me in? I believe I have read all of the term, policies, and agreements and Apple makes no claim? I open an app associated with Game Center and I get a popup "welcoming me back." I open the Game Center app and log out. I remove both Game Center and associated app and then open the same or any other app associated with Game Center and I'm logged right back into Game Center "without my consent." I say without my consent because nowhere does it state that I relinquish my rights to my username and password giving rights to Apple to use as it deems appropriate. Someone please help me on this...it is driving nuts!

Unfortunately I am not given that option. Apparently (when I signed up for it like 2 years ago because Real Racing app would not remember me if I did not register) I agreed to the terms when I first signed up and it just redirects me to the Apple Support Site front page. This is just ridiculous! And the funny this is that games run so much better when Game Center is disabled and everything an app associated with Game Center Crashed it was because of Game Center.

How can I get rid of this that shows up every time I start my Mac?

“/Library/StartupItems/AdobeVersionCue” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
It started to show up when moving from CS4 and up. I am currently a Creative Cloud user
Thanks

Hi RicardoGonzalez,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Please open the finder window click on "go" and choose "computer".
Navigate to MacHD/Library/Startupitems and send AdobeVersionCue to Desktop or some other location on the hard drive.
Then try to launch your application and check if the issue persists.
Thanks

How can i stop internet media from flooding elements 6?

how can I stop elements 6 from constantly importing internet photos and flooding my memory?

PSE isn't importing photos off the internet, but it could be importing photos from your hard drive that are being placed there as you browse the internet.
It's likely that you've told PSE to import all new photos on your hard drive using the Watched Folders mechanism.
In the Organizer, go to File > Watch Folders...
See the list of folders PSE is currently watching.
Check the setting near the bottom of the dialog as to what PSE should do when it finds new images in the folders it is watching.
Make any necessary changes to have it do what you want it to do.
Cheers
Bob
