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 Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed.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 the plug-in checker at Firefox (3.6) startup?

There was a previous thread on this topic, but it was closed before it was answered. Even though I have an older version of Firefox, Mozilla has changed it so as to start a plug-in check screen every time I open Firefox. It is really annoying, since all my plug-ins are up to date, and Firefox starts with the update tab instead of my home page tab. Please tell me how to disable this!!!!

Madperson, I'd be perfectly happy with Mozilla not supporting version 3.6 if they would actually leave their fingers off it. This plug-in checker screen on startup just started a couple of weeks ago, long after they supposedly ceased supporting it. One reason I don't want to switch is that some of my add-ons don't work with the newer versions of Firefox (which, unfortunately, we have on our other home computer). Whatever my reasons, Mozilla should not be purposely trying to make things more difficult.
And james, no it's not a compatibility checker, the one that shows up every time a new version is downloaded and installed. It's a screen (evidently not pushed onto your firefox) that lists all plug-ins (like Java) and whether or not they've been updated to the latest version. Once, OK, but it happens everytime I start (even though everything is updated). How would you like it if you expected your home screen and every time you got, say, a knitting site (or pick something else that might be more irrelevant) that you had to close before you could start to work?

The 'drag to application' window keeps popping up when I open up Firefox on my Macbook

I just purchased a Macbook and downloaded Firefox a few days ago. At first it showed a Firefox application window for me to drag into the App folder. After doing that everytime I log onto my computer and open Firefox browser, the ' Drag Firefox Application' still pops up. It gets annoying at times how am I able to stop this?
Thanks

How can I remove the lable "Warning:Applet window" of pop frame in a applet

How can I remove the lable "Warning:Applet window" of pop frame in a applet? Not only in MS IE's JVM,but also in java plug-in 1.40, the warning always display , What can I do?
===
thank you!

You cannot remove the label. It is there intentionally as a security measure, to warn the user that the window is from a running applet, so that (s)he knows it might be dangerous to enter sensitive information there (any applet from anywhere on Internet could have opened the window, who knows if it is malicious or not!).
Perhaps you can open a window without the warning when you sign your applet (with a security certificate).

How do you disable the split screen / multi-window feature.

I have had my phone for 2 days, and I can not figure out how to turn off the split screen/multi-window feature. It pops up automatically at the worst times and it is getting very frustrating. I have read many things on how to use it, but have yet to find any thing that explains of to disable it.

Well, it doesn't seem that there is a way. But I solved my
problem because my minimal player was Flash 7,0,29,0 and reset the
minimal player to 7,0,0,0.

How can I disable the "create custom shape" window?

When I'm using the custom shape tool in CS6, it will often bring up a new window labeled "create custom shape". It's really disruptive and I'd like to know how I can disable it to prevent it from poping up.

OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet. I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup. Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up. Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.

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".

I installed Firefox 29.01 but two pages keep popping up, my home page and the what's new in Firefox page. How do I stop the What's New page from popping up?

I installed Firefox 29.01 but every time I open it my home opens and so does the What's new in Firefox page. I want to disable the What's New page and only want the home page to open up but everytime I start Firefox both pages open up.

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

How do I disable the auto spell check? My g-mail already has this

I don't need 2 spell checks, and when I send an e-mail, I can not get the red line to go away. Some of the words are not misspelled.
Thank you!

To turn off Spell Checking in Firefox:
In the [[Options window|Options window]] , on the [[Options window - Advanced panel|Advanced panel]], untick 'Check my spelling as I type'.
If the spell check is correcting a number words that aren't misspelled, it's possible that it's not using the correct dictionary. If you right-click in an area that you can type in, you should see a 'Check Spelling' menu item and below that a 'Languages' menu. Check in the Languages menu that the correct language is selected.

How to temporarily disable the touch screen in Windows 8? Touchsmart 320-1122la

Meanwhile, read this document to see if it offers any solutions:HP TouchSmart PCs - Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8

Sorry that document didn't help. As for how to find your product and numbers, on my HP TouchSmart 320-1030, for example, I found both numbers on a sticker on the back of my PC, near the bottom, just under the inputs (USB, power, etc.). I also found that information in roughly the same area on my friend's HP ENVY TouchSmart 23-d034. A really easy way to find out is to press the CTRL, ALT, and S keys. The HP Support Information box will open, showing your model number, product number, serial number, and other important information. I used Snipping Tool to take a screen capture of this information on my screen, and then I printed it and emailed it to myself. It's good information to have on hand if you're getting support, making warranty inquiries, or for your insurance files, if your PC were, say, damaged in a fire, tornado, etc. Once you obtain that information, go to the Drivers and Download page. Click the Support and Drivers button, and enter your product number. Check for new drivers for your product. You can also get support and warranty information at the above link.

How do I disable the scroll to top button that pops up on the right side of a webpage to the left of the scrollbar when lookin at long webpages (such as ebay) ?

Button appears in the right lower corner to the left of the scrollbar when scrolling down long-ish webpages. I find it tremendously annoying as it covers the information underneath and when I hit it accidentally it obviously makes the whole webpage jump back to the top. Any idea how I can get rid of it ? Thanks heaps for your help !

ok, glad that the issue could be cleared up this way...
you could use adblock plus to hide those elements on ebay though. therefore you'd have to go into the adblock filter settings & add the following filters to your custom element hiding rules:
ebay.com#a(id=gh-bt)
ebay.com#b(class=bk2top)

How do you disable the sound when sending tweets from "Click to Tweet" in the Notification Center?

So, ever since the "Click to Tweet" button appeared, anytime you post to Twitter with it, your heard a bird whistling sound. This was cute at first, but has become increasingly annoying (and probably not just to me, but also to my co-workers). Sure, I could mute my speakers prior to sending, but a.) I usually forget, and b.) I shouldn't have to.
In a similar manner, the "Click to Post" to Facebook button makes the "woosh" noise that Mail.app makes when sending an email.
These sounds should be able to be disabled or muted. The only solution I've found online so far is to move/rename/change permissions of the actual sound file itself on the file system. That seems way to extreme.
In summary: am I just missing some obvious setting, or is there really no way to mute/disable these sounds?

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.
