How do I disable all add-ons so add-on pop-ups do not occur in Firefox?

When I am using an web-based application in firefox, I keep getting pop-up windows for add-ons to firefox. How can I stop these from occuring if I do not want any add-ons ever?

Hello Don.
You can access the add-on manager by going into Tools > Add-ons. It's the Extensions tab you want, most likely, since plugins and themes tend not to make popups appear.
If you want to disable the automatic update of add-ons, simply go into Tools > Options > Advanced > Updates and untick "Add-ons".

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 Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed.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 disable all non-essential components in the CS6 installer

A new question in the spirit of http://forums.adobe.com/thread/548877 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2778575, where I asked this question for CS4 and CS5 and eventually discovered how to do this (at least for CS4; CS5 was a mess...): How do I disable all the non-essential components in the Photoshop CS6 installer?
I already found the payloads/Media_db.db sqlite 3 database and wiped the DependencyData table. This goes a long way - unlike CS5, which was a maze of hidden xml configs and sqlite databases, for CS6 just wiping this single table will give the user full control over what the installer will put in the computer. With the dependencies wiped, we can now see all the stuff it's actually going to install:
Bridge (normal and x64) - 187 and 262 MB
CMaps (normal and x64) - 7.2 and 7.2 MB
CSXS Extensions - 1.3MB
CSXS Infrastructure - 6.8MB
Color - photoshop, EU, JA, NA - 1.5, 2.1, 3.0, 2.5MB
Video profiles - 4.7KB
Dynamic Link Media Server - 96MB
DynamicLink Support - 6.1MB
ExtendScript Toolkit - 19MB
Extension Manageer - 16MB
Fonts recommended (normal and x64) - 110 and 110MB (why are there x86 and x64 versions? more of an open question than one that really needs an answer, but this is not how fonts work. There are no separate x86 and x64 flavoured OpenType fonts)
Fonts required (normal and x64) - 123 and 123MB
Hunspell Linguistics Plugin (normal and x64) - 181 and 181MB
Linguistics (normal and x64) - 46 and 46MB
Mini Bridge (normal and x64) - 4.0MB
PDF Library Files (normal and x64) - 75 and 75MB
Photoshop (normal and x64) - 486 and 563MB
Photoshop Support - 9.4MB
Player for Embedding 3.3 (normal and x64) - 21 and 26MB
Switchboard 2.0 - 1.1MB
Type Support (normal and x64) - 6 and 6MB
Winsoft Linguistics Plugin (normal and x64) - 8.2 and 8.5MB
XMP Panels - 4.9MB
ColorCommonSetCMYK - 13MB
ColorCommonSetRGB - 8.6KB
Camera Profiles Installer - 285MB
MSVC++2005 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC++2008 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC++2010 redist. (normal and x64) - 11 and 11MB
MSVC80_CRT (normal and x64) - 0.0 and 0.0KB
PDF Settings - 2.4MB
Camera Raw 7 (normal and x64) - 22 and 24MB
Suite Shared Configuration - 3.2MB
Some of these things we really want installed (Photoshop, CMaps, XMP panels, Type Support and required fonts and color profiles are pretty much the minimal set required for a functional Photoshop installation), but some of these things really have no right to be silentedly installed. There's a good gigabyte of nonsense that someone who just wants Photoshop has no need for. Denying them the option to unselect these things during installation is a bit evil (whatever happened to the 'advanced' or 'custom' installation option? That was a good option).
That said, there's still something funky going on - unselecting all components indicates that the installation will required 0.0KB on disk. However, selecting Photoshop CS6 x64, which indicates its size is 563MB, results in an installation that requires 677MB on disk. Similar things happen for other components; CMaps is 7.2MB, but when you select it, it suddenly requires 121MB on disk.
Much last last time, I fully appreciate the install team's choices in making sure the installer will always work as long as people don't tamper with it, but I'm not one of those people - I do tamper with it, because I want to control exactly what lands on my disk. So: how do I find out what these secret things are that are not listed after wiping the dependency data so that I can explicitly pick individual components? Which additional steps are required to reveal the hidden dependencies that will apparently still be installed, or aren't factored into the size indication for the various components? And finally, how do I make the installer NOT determine that "this is not a genuine installer, you may have a counterfeit product" =)
I know it's been altered; I modified it, because I think your install process is trying to force stuff onto my computer that I never asked for, nor will ever use (I know they're quality products, they just have no right to exist on my computers. If I had the choice to say no, I'd acknowledge them as quality products instead).

NB: if Eric Wilde ends up replying to this post: I still remember your willingness to help figure this out for CS5, two years ago. Thank you again for that.

I can see why you wouldn't want to release information that lets people set up arbitrary installers, but that's why I mostly wanted those two specific hashes. The installer team can just generate them without ever saying how, and we will only be able to use them to validate the installer for the modification that lets you pick components. This should in no way interfere with the desire to prevent dangerous installers making it into the wild; in fact, it kind of guarantees that's impossible.
I know you can't guarantee it'll work or test it, and that's fine. Past experience has shown that CS3, CS4 and CS5 work fine with updates (and most updates don't apply to Photoshop, they apply to the additional components that I traditionally don't install), so I'm pretty sure it'll work fine with CS6 too, although of course it could go wrong in which case I can always fall back to a normal install.
Would you be willing to ask the install team whether they could generate just these two numbers, based on the single SQL command run on Media_db.db from the main payload directory? I can fully understand not wanting to give the "here is how you generate the hashes" information, but generating two specific numbers that don't work for anything but this specific query should be just as safe as the various hashes we can already see for the other Media_db.db files in the various payload directories (so they wouldn't reveal anything not already known about how to reverse engineer the hashing algorithm). It'd help tech-savvy customers quite a bit without playing into the hands of criminally minded jerks (I actually had the pleasure of running into a duped CS3 Extended disc several years ago! I had ordered CS3 for personal use, and mysteriously received a CS3 extended version with a volume licensing key in what looked like an official normal CS3 box. Needless to say, authorities and Adobe were notified).
<<I think the right answer to this issue is to simply remove from the products those items that are not required to execute the product. That's actually something we're aggressively pursuing this summer so that the product size reduces in future releases, particularly for PS.>>
It's not possible to take components out of the payloads directory without the installer complaining that errors have occurred. It really wants all those files there when it starts =(
<<Have you investigated using AAMEE? I don't think that will get rid of all the "extraneous" pieces; but, it does provide some flexibility in creating an install package that can then be pushed out through normal deployment tools (e.g. SCCM).>>
I did, but unfortunately AAMEE requires the use of a volume license key, which I don't have. We only have individual products keys for the machines that will get Photoshop CS6.

How can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album?

Hi
I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 with (Revel). My question ist how can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album? I would like only to have pictures in Library which are included in a online album.

Hi there,
I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?
Here is a link with some helpful information:

Please assist. How can I make all the photos on my Iphone visible? and not only the recently added ones? I'm using IOS 8

Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes? Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi. The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos. When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen. You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right. This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.

You have to remove modify rights for those users on that page. Component basis is possible but will create ACL complications. Please check http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components/boilerplates.html for that.

What is NSAppshell event window and how can I remove it? Have tried disabling all plug-ins and add-ons and it's still there and makes our computer slower than dial up!

Whenever I log off of my computer I get a message "NSAppshell event window," which slows down the performance of Mozilla and anything else we're trying to run on our computer. We're forced to log off and on to reboot and this happens nearly all the time. We have tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, to no avail. We are using Mozilla 4.0. Thanks for any help you can provide, as we don't want to go back to using Internet Explorer if we can help it.

I'd like you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and tell me if that fixes your problem.

I can't click the buttons in youtube videos. I've tried clearing the cache and disabling all the extensions and add-ons. No dice. The videos work in IE.

See above. Video will play automatically if on youtube, but I can't pause it, etc... Also if the video is embedded in a different website, I'll click play and nothing will happen.

Nothing works.

How can I disable all the components in a JPanel?

I want to disable all the components( button, text field ) in a JPanel. I know I can search the panel and disable each of its children component recursively. Is there a better way to do this?

I want to disable all the components( button, text field ) in a JPanel.You haven't defined what you mean by "disable".
If you mean you want the component to be repainted in its disabled state, then you would need to set the property of each individual component to disable, which would imply some kind of recursion.
If you just want to prevent components from receiving key events and mouse events, then you can use a glass pane or maybe a panel with an overlay layout that contains a non-opaque panel that intercepts all events.

[Forum FAQ] How do I disable all subscriptions without disabling Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent?

Introduction
There is the scenario that users configured hundreds of subscriptions for reports. Now they want to disable all the subscriptions, but Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent service should be enable, so the subscriptions will not delivery reports to users
and users could run the reports and create jobs on the server.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we need to list all subscriptions and their schedules by running query, then use loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name.
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server instance, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
Type Server name and select Authentication, click Connect.
Click New Query in menu to open a new Query Editor window.
List all subscriptions and their schedules by running the following query:
Use ReportServer
go
SELECT   c.[Name] ReportName,
s.ScheduleID JobName,
ss.[Description] SubscriptionDescription,
ss.DeliveryExtension SubscriptionType,
c.[Path] ReportFolderPath,
row_number() over(order by s.ScheduleID) as rn
into
#Temp
FROM
ReportSchedule rs
INNER JOIN Schedule s ON rs.ScheduleID = s.ScheduleID
INNER JOIN Subscriptions ss ON rs.SubscriptionID = ss.SubscriptionID
INNER JOIN [Catalog] c ON rs.ReportID = c.ItemID AND ss.Report_OID = c.ItemID
select * from #temp
Use the loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name:
DECLARE
@count INT,
@maxCount INT
SET @COUNT=1
SELECT @maxCount=MAX(RN)
FROM
#temp
DECLARE
@job_name VARCHAR(MAX)
WHILE @COUNT <=@maxCount
BEGIN
SELECT @job_name=jobname FROM #temp WHERE RN=@COUNT
exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = @job_name,@enabled = 0
SET @COUNT=@COUNT+1   P
RINT @job_name
END
PRINT @COUNT

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

How do you disable all-day event notifications?

I've already read the various threads about the issues with all-day events disappearing from the Today view and only appearing in the Notifications. However, I am having an issue when trying to disable all-day event notifications. I currently use my all day events from my work calendar (Lotus Notes 8.5) that is synched to my phone. I have disabled the "Notify Me" option within Lotus Notes and changed the default all day event notification on my phone to "None". The problem is that this has not disabled any all day event notification and I still get notified every night at midnight for the event. This didn't happen on iOS 6 or any of the iOS 7 beta versions. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks!

the Automation quick access should be off by default. I don't think this is what will do it for you, but here is a description of it, Page 320 of the manual
Automation Quick Access
This feature makes Track Automation extremely fast and simple if you only have one hardware MIDI controller available (one fader on your MIDI keyboard, or maybe just the Modulation wheel). You can use this single hardware controller to access (and automate) the currently visible Automation parameter of the selected Track in the Arrange window.
since it is midi messages that you do not want to send from your controller, I think you need to go to song settings an filter out incomming midi messages. File>song settings>midi>imput filter
but really any messages being sent should only effect the channel you are playing. I am assuming you are playing one of logics instruments for live performance.

How can I disable all online functionality within FormsCentral using Adobe Acrobat Customization?

I would like to either install FormsCentral and have all online functionality disabled, or install FormsCentral but have it disabled until a users requests it (an admin could come and enable it through Options). When I disable all online services from within Adobe Customization Wizard XI it does not remove the online functionality within FormsCentral.
Thanks for the help!

You are correct in that it's not functioning, however I do not have that option under the "online and adobe online" section in Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have the following boxes that can be checked:
"Disable initiating shared reviews and data collection via distributed forms using Adobe online services (does not affect non Adobe online services reviews and forms).
"Disable the Tools pane in Reader"
"Disable file storage on Adobe online services"
"Enable file storage even when all other services are disabled"
