How do I disable the new alert message popups that darken the whole webpage and are completely intrusive?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.

Whenever a website or javascript pops up an alert message, Firefox4 now completely greys out the site. How do I turn this retarded feature off? Also how do I get my status bar at the bottom of the window back? Another retarded design decision.

You can look at the pref prompts.tab_modal.enabled to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I disable the flipping back and forth between pages with PgUp and PgDn? Please tell me that I can!

As of Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you flip back and forth between pages. To me, this essentially means almost losing valuable information because I actually use those to go up and down pages, so I wonder; How do I disable this new and utterly inconvenient feature?
Please tell me that I can!

In your system details, I see this plug installed: ''Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0''
You also appear to have a later one, though still out of date installed namely, ''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 ''
First of all, click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Macromedia version.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update the other one.
If the problem persists afterwards, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I disable the "Delete Proflile" and "Rename Profile" buttons when the profile manager opens at startup?

I have multiple Firefox profiles for the different people that use my computer, and I would hate for someone to accidentally delete my profile when going online. Is there anyway I can disable that button when Firefox starts, and only have it work when I open the profile manager?
I was originally just gonna give everyone their own Windows login, but it's easier for me to just do it this way. Help is appreciated.

If there is already a Firefox instance open that uses a specific profile then you only open a new window in that instance it you click another Firefox shortcut.
Be aware that if no Firefox instance is open and you click a link in anther program (Windows Explorer or email) and Firefox is the default browser then Firefox will use the profile that is selected in the profile manger as the currently selected profile.

How can I disable the transparent background and/or make it opaque?

I have been using Firefox 3.x and then recently switched to 4.0b11. The new beta has a transparent (translucent) background at the top of the page. I have a brightly colored and patterned desktop (Win7, 64-bit) and this shows through Firefox's window. It is extremely annoying. The former version of FF was opaque. I want to know how to make FF 4.0 opaque as well.

Cmd-Ctrl-F is set to go Full Screen in Safari and Mail, and probably all others, so I doubt an update changed it to Facebook.
Cmd-Ctrl-T is not enabled for anything on my Mac.
Perhaps you installed something that causes that functionality.

What App is showing the message? If it is Safari, go to Settings-Safari-JavaScript and turn it ON.
If it is a different App, see if that App is in Settings and has a JavaScript option.

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

How do I disable the "Protected mode is currently turned off for the Internet zone" message?

The message is a waste of my screen real estate. Yes, Protected mode is turned off. Sure it is, I turned it off myself, and it will stay off. Now how do I disable this annoying nag message?
Also the messages about File Downloads. Never once in my life I clicked a download link by mistake. Yes, I'm clicking that dang URL, because I wan't to download that dang file, now get out my way, annoying warning message. How do I disable this one
too? Thank you in advance

Ok so after facing this myself I determined "By Design" wasn't acceptable. So I traced down the registry file that gets rid of this message for everyone. This is especially useful for RDS (Remote Desktop Services Servers) and IE9 with Roaming
profiles and Redirected folders. I have the full write up here:

But basically the key is
HKCU - Software - Microsoft - Internet Explorer - Main
New DWORD

Decimal value of 1

You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

Open up a terminal (use spotlight to search for 'terminal')
Find the process ID of the HP Device monitor by doing
ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
The process id will be the number that is printed. Sometimes you may see two results, the correct result to use should print "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
Then using the number you got from the first step, run the following command.
sudo kill -9 <pid>; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
You will be prompted for your admin password.
Below is an example of when I ran it:
John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
90509 /Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor
90513 grep "HP Device Monitor"
John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ sudo kill -9 90509; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
