  • How can I get the e-mail address to automatically fill-in when I open Firefox home page

    Whenever I went into my e-mail icon on my desktop my e-mail address was already filled in, all that had to do was to type in password,Tab and was on e-mail screen. When I go into Mozilla Firefox icon on my desktop ,I have to type my address and my password before my e-mail screen appears

    You are of course trying to get an email address in the format of [email protected] You already have "username" the trick is the somedomain.com. I don't believe that the pop3 server has anyway to tell you this. Unless your host name is "fully qualified", i.e. pop3.somedomain.com, I don't know that you can get this information. Maybe you could take the IP address and do a reverse DNS lookup? Still you wouldn't really know if that is the domain the user really wants. For example I retrieve and send my email from aaa.com, but my domain for my reply-to is bbb.com. Your goal is noble, but perhaps not practical. That is why Outlook Express requires the user to enter their email address when setting up an account. Hope this helps.

    it will continue every few minutes until its installed.
    just keep using the back button near right side of home button.

  • How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up: Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don't know what it is but don't want it.

    How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up:
    Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How do I stop the Plugin Status screen from coming up every time I open Firefox?

    I get a screen asking me to update or delete a list of plug ins. I don't want to see this every time I open Firefox.

    Updating your Plugin programs would get rid of that "nag" page when you open Firefox.
    Both Java and Flash received updates this past week.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • Stop the page not encrypted message from popping up everytime I open Firefox

    How do I stop the message Page in not encrypted do you want to continue from popping up every time I open Firefox ?

    On tools, go to options. It is somewhere there I think. I thouhgt I had it but I think that option is only available in the other versions of Firefox (not Test Pilot Firefox 4 Beta).

  • How can I stop the update to Internet explorer 9 pop up window that appears every time I open my Firefox, I don't want Explorer 9. Help!

    It is an annoying popup window that should not be allowed to persist I say no every time. I found a fix for it in the UK but none for Canada.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, probably an addon is interfering here...

  • How do I disable the "Plug-In Check" window from popping up everytime I open my firefox browser? It is totally annoying...thanks

    Every time I open firefox browser a very ANNOYING "Plugin Check Window" pops up. My plugins are up to date. I don't want this reminder....PLEASE let me know how to disable it...thanks

    I discovered that Flash gets disabled after making this about:config change. Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed. So if you use Flash, this tweak won't work.
    I don't really need my browser telling me what I can and can't run...

  • How do I stop the "Better Privacy" help page coming up every time I open Firefox and while browsing?

    The "Better Privacy" help page opens as a separate tab every time I open Firefox. I close it, but it keeps coming back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking a link or using a bookmark) and at seemingly random intervals while I'm browsing.
    chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
    I'm sure it's not malware, but it's driving me mad. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
    I don't want to disable Better Privacy, but I'm often tempted to do so.
    I'm using (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.

    Check the Home page setting:
    *Edit > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

    I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents.  When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
    "The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
    The document is not read only and no other user has it open.  If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes.  I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
    Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

  • How do I remove the "Restore Session" page that comes up every time I open Firefox, Even by quitting it properly?

    Ever since I upgraded to v20 of Firefox a problem has occurred where I will close Firefox properly (close browser and then quit application as I am on a Mac) but when I open it again I will get a message. This message is "Oh this is embarrassing..." and try to get me to reopen my tabs I had before. This will also happen if I have just one tab open and then close it. I was wondering if there is a way to fix it!

    Hi susiqw, it's hard to see when the text is all written as a single sentence, but the steps are:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false.
