How can I turn off the feature that, when I move my pointer over a headline, the headline pops up again as a seperate reader?

Go to any website that has a link to a story. When I move the cursor over the link to the story a second version (read) also pops up. Why would somebody need to read the link twice in the exact same spot and why does it read over the original link I am trying to read?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> '''Zoom''' -> click '''Reset''' -> '''Page Style''' -> select '''Basic Page Style'''
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

  • How can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?

    how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
    I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.  
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

    If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?
    Edit: I see you found the solution the Software board in this thread: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&thread.id=13064

  • How can I turn off the images of avatars that post...

    how can I turn off the images of avatars that post in this forum? they are annoying.

    I think the avatar pictures help a lot to visually tell apart the different users participating. Pictures are way quicker to discern than user names are.
    Do you want them removed because they distract you or you find certain ones disturbing (You can easily flag those to the moderation team)?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

  • How can I turn off the password remember question?

    How can I turn off the password remember question?  I never use this option on my laptop, as that would not be secure.  And on sites with their own "stay logged in" feature, Safari's password memory sometimes interferes.  Is there any way to stop Safari from asking me if I want to remember passwords, or am I stuck saying Never for this Site on every site I visit?

    Password autofill can be secure or insecure, depending on how you use the computer, but if you want to disable it, select from the menu bar
    Safari > Preferences > AutoFill
    and uncheck the box marked User names and passwords.

    Your question really has nothing to do with AirPort networking and the products that we support in this forum.....the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule pictured below:
    You will likely receive a must faster and more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum linked just below:

    The last time that we checked, the "shake to undo" feature could not be defeated, but maybe things have changed in that regard.

  • How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?

    How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
    You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
    Does anyone know where to find it?
    Thanks in advance for your feedback,
    Tine

    Somehow Escape button started bringing me an autocomplete list in Keynote which is monstrously inconvenient.
    This is rather surprising.
    What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
    What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
    I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
    Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
    Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return).

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

    hi,
    1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
    calls.
    2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps
