How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
Delete the <b>storage\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can i stop the started process of downloading ios 8 on my ipad air?plz tell me i dont want to upgrade.

    i have apple ipad air 32gb ,ios 7.0.3 , by mistake i have started the process of update on ios 8 , how can i stop this ? plz tell me.

    The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
    I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
    Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • In OUT Bound of a Jaxws provider, how can we stop the provider invoking its endpoint and send a response back?

    Hi One & All
    While we are working on Delegate(provider) for JAXWS client handler in Weblogic10 , we have some technical issues and need some assistance.
    Problem Description
    In OUTBound of a provider, how can we stop the provider invoking its endpoint and send a response back?
    Example:
    I have a provider with some handlers configured for both IN and OUT flows. When the Jaxws provider is making a request, the OUTBound Handler gets invoked and in this Handler I would like to stop invoking actual endpoint and send back my own response. That means I should be able to tell the Handler chain to stop further processing of this flow, set a response message into message exchange and invoke the IN flow. How do I do that?
    This kind of mediation/interception is possible in standard specifications like JAX-WS, Servlets etc… wondering if Weblogic10 JAXWS provides any sort of this kind.
    Also we would like to know who is invoking a provider endpo     int in JAXWS stack in weblogic10? Is it an OUTBound handler at the end of handler chain or some other transport component after the handler chain?
    Thanks in Advance
    Suresh

    I completely agree with this....I have used Windows and Skype for many years. I recently installed an older version of Skype to run on Windows 8.1 because the new version is SO AWFUL. As much as I prefer the older version (6.14), the daily number of SPAM CONTACT requests is rediculous and most are just variations of the same spammer. Maybe it is time to look for a replacement for both?

    How can I stop the constant and repeated pop-up to sign-in to iTunes?

    You might have an app or iTunes purchase that belongs to a different Apple ID.  Look very carefully at the popup and make sure it is referenceing your correct Apple ID.

  • How can I stop the number of unread emails showing on the icon for my main account including the number of emails in my gmail account as well?

    How can I stop the number of unread emails, displayed on the icon for my main account, including the number of unread emails in my gmail account as well? The number is accurate (unlike the many users who seem to have phantom unread emails) it's just that I want each acc to show its own total, as it did before.  I suspect I fiddled with some setting unwittingly.  It seems to do it first thing each morning, particularly.  Many thanks

    If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.
    Regards,

    This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.
