How do I disable the new feature that disables outdated plugins unless they are clicked?

I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8. I'm happy with it. Firefox has a new feature that automatically disables the PDF plugin unless it's clicked. It's called the "Click to Play" feature. Even when disabled, it's not really disabled: it activates itself for "vulnerable plugins." Though there is an option to make a website trusted for plugins, there is seemingly no way to make the PLUGIN ITSELF trusted. As a result, every time I get a PDF, I have to Click to Play.
Question: How do I truly disable this stupid new feature?
There is the following support article that explains this new system, and that the only solution is trust a website, but apparently can't disable the feature or trust the plugin:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins?esab=a&s=disable+click+to+play&r=13&as=s

In about:config, set extensions.blocklist.enabled to false

  • How do I remove the "new tab" that keeps flashing up when I start Firefox?

    The new tab offers links to Twitter, Facebook etc. I don't want this 'service'. This tab slows down the process for me- a total pain in the neck. Thanks in advance, for any help.

    Great, thanks for that URL. In an earlier thread it was associated with a "speed dial" or "search dial" extension: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/990420
    Unwanted extensions often are installed at the system level as part of a bundle. Therefore, I suggest starting here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Next, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    (1) In the left column, click Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or which doesn't sound essential, try setting it to "Never Activate". (The most essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most sites without the others.)
    (2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Success?

  • How do i override the security feature that won't let me save?

    I have a document here that i do not want to print because i do not have a printer but i want to send it in an email and i need to type information into it then send it. It's telling me that it can only save a blank copy of the document, but i want to be able to save the entire thing without losing what i type into it. How do i override this feature to be able to save the document? Adobe reader 9 windows 7

    You are in the Acrobat forum. If you had Acrobat, you could do this but unless the file has been specially enabled by someone using Acrobat, you cannot do this with the free Reader.

  • How do I remove the "New Tab" that pops up along with the homepage?

    At start-up, 2 tabs come up. A home page and another one. I just want the homepage--no extra one. I still want to be able to open tabs, just not have this one that comes up automatically that isn't my homepage. Can you help?

    This issue can be caused by the MySearchDial extension.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    How can I delete files that are waiting to be downloaded?   I no longer want them and they won't all fit.

    If downalods won't fit on yrou computer, ou should clear up your drive by removing unsed programs and documents.
    As a general rule, you should keep 10%-15% free drive space on your boot drive.

  • After installing Firefox 5, why, after closing and reopening the programme, do I seem to have lost most of the new features?

    After installing Firefox 5, replacing my previous version (4.5), I could see the new features. However, having closed and reopened Firefox, it seems as though it has reverted to the previous version, even though 'Help - About' says I'm running on version 5.0.
    I had to download 5.0 from the Mozilla website, as I tried to update via the update tool in 4.5, but it claimed I was fully up to date, even though I have 5.0 on another machine (which works perfectly).

    Can you please describe the "new features" that you saw first time you opened Firefox 5?
    Thank you.

  • How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

    Dear Helpful Open Source people.
    I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
    I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
    This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
    I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
    The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
    PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

    For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
    I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.

  • How do I get back the tab feature that has my most used webpages because when I open a new tab now, the page is blank. thanks. Annette craker

    After an update a few weeks ago, the tab feature that used to come up with boxes with my most used pages e.g. Facebook, Ebay, and many others just isn't there anymore. I can't find how to get this feature back. Please help.

    Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
    To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

    You can dismiss it by tapping the solid blue bookmark. You can avoid it all together by making Favorites of your bookmarks then enabling the Show Favories Bar.

  • How do I activate the new tab feature that shows a dozen favorite web pages? It works for a brief spell when a fresh FF is installed, then it stops working.

    What I get on a new tab is a header that says: "You've opened a new tab" and a search box. But I prefer the FF feature that shows my favorite web pages when I open a new tab, but it seems precarious and a bit unstable. If I could easily restore the feature, I'd be happy enough. The Help information on this feature says to click on a button to add a web page, but I don't see that button on my FF 16. Also the Help page refers to "pinning" a web page onto the new tab page using a pin icon, but I don't have that icon either.

    What is the value of the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you are not able to keep changes permanently (e.g. they revert after restarting Firefox) then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • How to disable the new Bluetooth Audio function?

    After updating to OS 3.0 i have an annoying problem with my iPhone connected to a Kenwood car radio (via USB in the glove box):
    1. Connect iPhone with car radio via USB
    2. Turnin on the radio - now it starts playing songs from the iPhone
    3. Now the iPhone connects via Bluetooth to the radio (for use of the handsfree set!)
    4. The addressbook is downloaded by the radio via the Bluetooth connection
    Till there it worked fine under OS 2.2.1 - i was able to listen to the iPod and to make/receive calls! But now there's step 5:
    5. The Bluetooth Audio function is activated - and i can hear no more sound although the playback of the song is resumed!
    There's a workaround for this issue: I can tap on the iPod-Icon on the iPhone which says that the iPhone is connected to an equipment. There i can tap on a bluetooth icon in the lower right corner in which i can select the device for audio output: Bluetooth or Dock.
    This is really annoying (even more due to the bad qualitiy of the bluetooth audio), so where can i disable this new "feature"?!

    I too am having this problem. It seems as though I also have to unplug and re-plugin my iPhone dock connector to make it switch to the USB output I need for my JVC KD-R800 receiver in my car. I can't seem to find a way to permanently disable A2DP functionality on either my iPhone or my Car's audio receiver.
    We really do need some sort of option to either disable A2DP altogether or setup a "priority" list of items. Personally, I'd love to have the iPhone output in an order something like the following:
    1st - Dock Connector (USB)
    2nd - Bluetooth A2DP
    3rd - Headphones / iPhone Speaker
    Hopefully someone find out of a permanent workaround or solution soon. I just got this new receiver for my car and it messes everything up!
