How do I disable automatic reload of web pages when forced quit is uaed?

I ran across a web site that was part of a scam. It pretended to be one of the security programs on my computer and reported that my Computer had malware (it was the malware). The only way out and not activate the scam program was to use the Windows Task Manager to kill Firefox.
When you do this the next time Firefox is started it tries to reload the last pages visited including the bad web site. How do I disable this feature? Or force Firefox to ask me which pages to load every time.
Automatic should not be allowed because of these scams. Fortunately I had a work around, I pulled the network cable when I restarted Firefox causing a different failure that could be cleared.

Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs.

  • How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there?

    How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari.  I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?

    From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
    Or..
    Glims can  re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.

  • How do I disable audio on a pdf page when opening a link that also has audio?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf page that has audio that plays when the page is visible. I set the "disable" audio to happen when the page is no longer visible. That works great. However, I have a link on the pdf page that opens an attached pdf page. I specifically want that linked page to open in a new window. It just so happens that the attached page also has audio. I cannot find a way to disable the first audio. As it is now, both audios play at the same time.
    Thanks for any help you can give on this!

  • Automatically load web page when select topic

    I've been able to perform this functionality in RoboHelp (winhelp), but have not yet figured out how to do this in RoboHTML.
    Upon topic load I would like a web page to display within the topic pane. In RoboHelp, I did this by creating a html jump from the topic heading. It looked like this:
    JumpHtml(`http://www.cerner.com')
    Does anyone know how to do this in RoboHTML? It doesn't seem that I'm able to format the topic heading to automatically load a web page when the topic loads.

    Hi there

  • How do I disable the reload on the back button of Firefox and have it display the cached/prior page version?

    Every time I click the "back" button, Firefox reloads the previous page I was on. How do I disable the reload and have Firefox display the cached/prior page version? The whole point of going "back" is to see what we were just looking at.. I don't want a refreshed version of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running version 3.6.12.

    No problem. It's not a request that's been seen much if at all to be honest. I rely on them myself.
    You can always feel free to provide feedback to Apple though.

  • How do I disable automatic updates?

    I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
    Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
    I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
    How can I nix automatic updates for good?

    Hi,
    It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
    You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
    app.update.auto - false<br>
    app.update.enabled - false<br>
    app.update.silent - false<br>

  • How do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

    how do i disable automatic launch of open programs on startup

    It's the Resume feature.
    When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
    Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
    Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
    You can turn off Resume globally by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting that folder.
    (note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
    To turn off autosave and versions globally
    If you're experiencing slow opening apps or windows since upgrading to ML... as I have... and you don't want your OS to automatically save your TextEdit files, etc. then simply disable Autosave and Versions via Terminal.
    If you don't want autosave or resume you can copy & paste this command into Terminal at the prompt...
    defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
    Press return
    Now reboot.
    The reverse would be "yes".

  • How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC?

    How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC? This is really annoying as I am not able to sync my main music and photo library after my appleTV dowloads 84 GB of TV shows, which my PC is unable to accomodate anyway. Any advise?

    I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

  • How do I enlarge the font on web pages

    how do I enlarge the font on web pages so that it stays that way all the time

    Funny thing today Thomas,
    Someone had a link to your site which you mentioned your first virus, the WDEF, and I chuckled as we both had the same experience all these years.
    Anyway Thomas, I call it as I see it and like any IT professional, use the best tool for the job.
    Did you know Steve Jobs used Linux on his renderfarm at Pixar?
    So really what the problem is people's sensibilities, which they shouldn't be worried about because like IE, because of Safari being included on hardware, automatically is the first browser of choice and in no danger of losing market share on Apple hardware.
    However if Safari isn't quite cutting the mustard for a particular person's needs, like this person's situation, they should be informed of a alternate solution.
    Safari doesn't have nearly the amount of customization as Firefox nor the zillions of add-ons to solve just about any issue.
    If people decide not to take my advice that's their choice, and they choose not too, but likely, just in this case, will come to realize the same problem I had with increasing Safari's text size and distortion of web pages.
    Soon as Apple starts paying attention to their needs of their hard of seeing customers better, like myself and others, then I will most certainly recommend Safari over Firefox.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.
