How do i disable the Check your plug ins page at start up?

at start up my homepage displays on one tab and a new tab that suggests to update plug ins displays from mozilla and shows some plug ins and if they are up to date or not, I wish to disable this page but don't see any options or any link to show how to disable it.

I think this will solve that problem with the Plugin Check page.
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'''
''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

  • How can I stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again

    Hi
    I am making a program that simulates how to manage transactions when accessing a database by using locks. I have run into a problem and I hope someone has the time to help me.
    When a user does an update the transaction commits and releases its locks when the program executes
    <%stmt.executeUpdate("commit!"); %>
    I need to put a break in to stop the program executing this statement, to illustrate the lock is set correctly.
    I have tried to put in an alert box but this does not prevent the rest of the java code being executed.
    I have tried to use prompt boxes, JavaScript functions, but these functions cannot have any java code in them.
    I have tried using the java.swing JOptionPane boxes but this didn?t work either
    I have tried to get input from the user but I don?t know how to retrieve this data on the same page. (As far as I know you have to use submit and even refresh the page or retrieve it on the next page).
    Does anyone know how I can stop the execution on a JSP page and start it again (on same page)
    Mette

    I already have another client (Tomcat jsp application) running and it throws a SQLException correctly when I don�t put in a commit=true statement and don't close the database connection.
    But the problem is how to get the code above to stop to illustrate I have set this lock.
    I have tried to use the JOptionPane but because my program is running in a web browser I cannot use the JOptionPane dialog box.
    I have tired using an alert box but it executes the commit statement before the alert box is dispayed. So this does not work
    While (i < 2)
    if( i==1)
    %>alert(�The transactions commits when you press Ok�); <% //what it to stop execution here
    else
    stmt.executeUpdate(�commit�);
    I am not using threads so I cannot use the sleep function.
    I am using mysql and have already configured it to detect deadlocks and how long to wait for locks.
    Thanks for your help

  • Flash plug-in not listed in the Safari installed plug-ins page

    Dear all,
    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Intel Imac and I'm facing the same problem since the first time I wanted to upgrade the version 10 of the Flash plug-in.
    I have different accounts and various internet browsers (Safari, FireFox, Opera, Chrome) only Safari, on my main account (admin), causes problems. Actually the plug-in (10.3) is properly installed in  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, so common to all accounts (the users' Internet Plug-Ins folders are empty) and it is visible from the System Preferences application.
    Internet Plug-Ins folder content:
    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    CANONiMAGEGATEWAYDL.plugin
    CANONiMAGEGATEWAYLI.plugin
    DirectorShockwave.plugin
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt
    iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
    JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
    npContributeMac.bundle
    nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    Quartz Composer.webplugin
    QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
    But Safari doesn't lists the flash plug-in in the installed plug-ins page and returns a missing plug-in error message as I visit any website containing a flash movie. When I replace the current plug-in with version 10.0.r2 it works fine.
    Before installing any upgrade I first run the uninstaller, restart the computer and then install the newest version. I tried many things to fixe this very annoying problem without success. I'm not going to list all of them but I mainly cleared Safari and Flash Player preferences, Safari Cache.db, removed all other plug-ins (to check for conflicts). I also used some tools as Apple Disk utily and OnyX to repair disk permissions and fix other possible problems.
    I would be very grateful if you could help me!

    Hello Chris,
    Any other suggestions? Because this story drives me crazy !
    I don't know if it matters, but  Flash CS4 is installed on my Mac.
    Event if it doesn't make sense I tried to clear any file related to the flash plug-in, Flash Player and Safari
    Safari:
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Cache.db
    Flash:
    ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
    com.macromedia.Flash Player Debugger.app.plist
    Flash Player Debugger_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
    Flash Player_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
    com.adobe.flash-10.0.plist
    Flash 10 MRU
    flashplayer.xpt
    I have uninstall Flash Player Debugger and the Flash Plugin
    removed all plug-ins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Replaced all previous versions of Flash player by the latest version (10.3r183)
    I ran all OnyX maintenance scripts and repaired disk permissions
    After restarting the computer I installed the plug-in and replaced all previous plug-in version everywhere
    e.g. : /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player/Flash Player.plugin
    Restarted again and then launched Safari. The plugin is well in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, but not listed in installed plug-ins list
    I repeated this "procedure" several time, from different accounts, I also removed the admin rights on the problematic account and perform the installation from a new admin account without success!
    I can drop any plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins folder and I only have to refresh the the Installed Plug-ins page in order that Safari takes it into account. All, but the flash plug-in! 
    I really do no understand why Safari can't "see" newer plug-ins than the 10.0 version.
    I'm lost and ran out of ideas!

  • How do I disable the simplify awesome toolbar? (when i start typing it goes to the address bar instead of where I put the cursor)

    When I am in Gmail or most other sites, when I type it automatically goes to the address bar. For example, in Gmail, I will click reply, and the cursor starts flashing in the message box. However, when I start typing, it goes into the address bar instead. When I am on another website (for example I am on my library website), i place my cursor in a field, start typing, and again it goes in the address bar. I have tried disabling the add-on, but it doesn't appear in the list of add-ons. When I search, I have the option of installing, as if I don't already have it. Any suggestions would be helpful!

    Hi,
    There are a few keyboard shortcuts that jumps to the awesome (location) bar. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Keyboard+shortcuts#w_miscellaneous this]. You can try to check if any keys are stuck.
    If keyboard problems can be ruled out, you can also Reset Firefox.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • How do I disable the welcome to firefox 15 page

    I just upgraded to FF 15 and every time I open my browser it goes thru this search function and then opens a welcome to ff 15 page & wants me to get the mobile browser. I don't want it and I don't want this page to load every time.
    How can I disable it? (in layman's terms please cuz I'm technically challenged. :D )
    Thanks!!
    I just looked at FF's educated guess at my plug ins & I don't recognize half of them! Do I need them all? If not, which ones can I get rid of & how do I disable them?

    And NOW I can't get my home page to load even tho I set it back to load w/my home page. grrrrrrrrr

  • How do i disable the irksome redirect drop down menu

    how do i disable the irksome "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" drop down box?
    thank you
    mark

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do I stop the check plug in page from popping up every time I double click the firefox desktop icon?

    ''I uninstalled AOL IM and disabled MetaStream 3 Plugin but that didn't work either. I don't currently have viewpoint media player that I'm aware of. ''
    '''''MetaStream 3 Plugin''' MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 Unknown plugin Research''
    This is apparently the Viewpoint Media Player plugin '''npViewpoint.dll'''. Even though you don't see the Viewpoint Media Player listed in your list of installed programs, it might be listed as a different application.
    Disabling the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager removes it from the about:plugins list but apparently does not stop the PluginCheck from finding it. You should re-enable the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager list of plugins. You can then find and remove the plugin file '''npViewpoint.dll''' from your computer, using the following instructions, from this thread at mozillazine:<br>

    #Quit firefox (file, exit) and restart.
    #If you don't get redirected to the Plugin Check page then problem solved. If you do get redirected to the Plugin Check page then the plugin you just nuked (by renaming the DLL file) should be gone from the list.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?

    This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
    Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
    Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
    Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.

    I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
    I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
    Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
    I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
    Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
    Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

  • I am unable to access my email. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up that says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All plug-ins listed are enabled. What am I missing?

    I am unable to access my email from Charter.net. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up which says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All of my plug-ins are enabled. What am I missing?

    After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

    Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you
