How do I delete the "Add-On" pop up box that appears when I start Firefox

Every time I open Firefox a pop up box appears for add-ons. It is blank and does nothing. I close it and other one appears and I close that, then firefox starts. It's not a big thing, but it's a pain. It does not appear when I start IE8.

You can try http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

How do I get rid of the 3 extra tabs that appear when I start Firefox? they are: Getting Started with Mozilla, Video downloadHelper, and Tab Mix Plus?

This problem started when i downloaded firefox 8 and is still there with 9.0.1. The Video DownloadHelper and Tab Mix Plus are announcing new updated that were installed weeks ago. How do I stop this?

The "text in a yellow box" that appears when I hover the mouse over a selection or help tag.

The "help tag" (Or in most cases the unwanted tag) often is in the way of what I want to look at.
This is especially true when you are looking at an item that has it's own pop up giving you a description or information.
When you hold the mouse over say.... a movie icon in XFinity, the icon of the movie expands and gives a brief synopsis, date and actors of said movie.
Unfortunately, I cannot read the synopsis for the "Help Tag" blocks all the content forcing you to try different ways of pointing to the movie icon so you can read parts of the discretion from every angle of approach then piece it altogether in your mind.
I DO NOT want "help tag". It is extremely annoying and time consuming ergo it des not "help" it hinders.
Can it not be disabled (Like balloon help in OS 9) so you do not have to feel anger and frustration every time you see that yellow tag?

Ooo, I did not notice the article was from 2007. Thansk for pointing that out. I don't think I am going to try it. It seems that with all the "little" apps the seem to keep growing in numbers, someone will come up with a solid program that would wok through system prefs. I would pay the normal $20.00 for an app like that.

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

How do I delete the background of an image so that it is clear, with ZERO color, not even white??

How do I delete the background of an image so that there is ZERO color, not even white??

Photoshop's "Background" is a special layer and does not support transparency. You need to convert a Background layer to a normal layer if to want to cut out parts of the layer.

Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form?

Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form? This box contains the item name or caption.

Hi,
Under Tools ... Options ... Workspace, there is an option "Display Object Name Tool Tips While Pointing".
Try clearing that.

Add-on updates produce webpages that keep appearing when I start Firefox--how do I keep this from happening?

When the add-ons are updated, a webpage appears stating that the update was successful. In the past I would exit the tab and this notice would not appear again. However, these pages appear to be persisting when I close Firefox down and then reopen immediately and later. I have tried deleting all history and cookies, and resetting the home page multiple times, but none of these have done the trick. The version of Firefox I'm using is the latest version (7.0.1). I use Win 7 (64-bit).
History: this all started when my AddonFox add-on updated in September and notice web page saying it updated appeared. This has kept reappearing each time I enter Firefox. In addition since then, an update for the ReadItLater (v. 2.1.3), ColorfulTabs, and IE Tabs add-on updates have caused the same issue. As a result, whenever I enter Firefox, my homepage opens, as well as the notification pages that these four add-ons have updated.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
This can also be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
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.

Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

When rotoscoping, how do I delete the background of a video so that when I import it into final cut, the background is transparent and not black or white?

Hello there,
I am new to after effects.
I'm currently working on some footage of a face talking. I have used the rotobrush to single out just the lips moving and have deleted the background. However, when I delete the background it automatically changes the background to a solid black.
The effect i'm looking for is more something of the effect of a PNG in photoshop - no background so that when it is imported into a movie, the lips with be free standing over other footage so that the oner footage will be shown behind the moving image of the lips..
I have looked at multiple tutorials and threads and found nothing that helps with my problem - if there is one, I apologise, I have just spent so long looking and thought here was the best place to come.
If anyone can give me any advice it would be very greatly appreciated - Thankyou!
BJH

First, check to make sure you actually HAVE transparency by doing one of three things: change the comp's background to something other than black, click on the button at the bottom of the comp window to view the alpha channel, or click the button on the bottom of the comp window to reveal the familiar Photoshop checkerboard background.
Next, select a codec that supports alpha channels -- in Quicktime-Land, that would be Animation, PNG or Prores 4444. For FCP, use ProRes if you can.
After that add the comp to the AE Render Queue. In the output module, select RGB+Alpha, Millions (or trillions) Of Colors +, and Straight, i.e. not premultiplied. If you absolutely MUST have audio (I personally have little use for it), check the appropriate check box.
Finally, save the project and hit the render button. DO NOT save the project again after rendering; instead, go file>Revert. That way, if you have one of those Homer Simpson "DOH!" moments where you realize you made a mistake, you simply delete the rendered file, make corrections, and you're all set to re-render.

How could I delete the physical files associated with songs that iTunes has matched to iCloud Match?

I would like to make room on my external drive.
I need to be able to delete the songs that are matched in iTunes.
Using the delete right-click option does remove the entry form the itunes Directory but NOT the physical files.
I have my iTunes Library manually managed.
I cannot recognized from the Folder which files are linked to songs that are matched and which ones are not.
Any help will be welcomed.

How do i delete the U2 album from my ipod that i didn't ask for?

Okay the new U2 album just showed up on my ipod awhile back and I tried to like it but i don't. I deleted the songs but the album cover and all is still there. It's not that big a deal but it just cramps my style.

Go to https://itunes.com/soi-remove.
Click Remove Album to confirm you'd like to remove the album from your account.
Sign in with the Apple ID and password you use to buy from the iTunes Store.
You'll see a confirmation message that the album has been removed from your account.

How do I prevent the "Downloads" pop-up box from appearing when I open an attachment since Firefox also gives me the "Opening...txt" box?

My software allows a user to open Attachments. I get a box with the title "Opening message1.txt" which also has an "Open with" radio button. I then click the OK button and my attachment is displayed. However, I also get a second box with the title "Downloads." How do change the Firefox Options to not get the Downloads box?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How do I delete the iCloud assigned to my iPhone that is not my main iCloud account and shares the same email address!? No Password.

I have my main iCloud account for iTunes and Mail etc.
On my iPhone I seem to have initiated a secondary iCloud account with a different AppleID, yet receive emails to the other/same email account as the primary iCloud account on my Mac.
I have gone through every password ever used and simply cannot access the account. Also I have requested the password reset verification via email, that gets sent, but never arrives.
I can access both email accounts without a problem.
If anyone has an idea what to do it would be magnificent.
...security questions cannot be answered since I took an alternative birthdate for security and have forgotten it. #seemedlikeagoodideaatthetime
