How do I disable topsites in ff android mobile version?

All related articles I found were for ff desktop version ...

I also have the problem of not being able to disable the top sites. I've tried the normal method, but there was no newtab entries in the about:config file. (That was a problem in itself, apparently having adblock plus installed prevented the about:config file from being opened, and I discovered this by going through and individually disabling the addons..)
So I thought that perhaps it simply needed to be entered, so I created two new strings, hoping this would solve the problem:
string => browser.newtab.url => about:blank
boolean => browser.newtabpage.enabled => false
I then reset the phone to ensure that FF rebooted, but to my dismay that didn't solve the problem either.
I don't know that the following will be useful, but you never know, so here is the info about the phone:
Motorola Droid Razr, un-rooted, Android version 4.1.2
System version 98.72.16.xt912.verizon.en.us (this retarded update is causing me to look into rooting...)
and FF19.0.2

  • 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!

  • How to clear desktop on firefox (using android mobile)?

    I have/had firefox on 3 laptops...work, netbook, laptop. Each show the 3 different versions of Windows NT for the machines in firefox android mobile desktop. Problem is the laptop is broken and hasn't beenused in 1 month (will no longer use it, can't turn it on). How do I not show (or remove) firefox results for the laptop in the desktop tab of android mobile???

    Here's one way to do this:
    # Open the "Sync" section of the Firefox preferences/options window on your PC.
    # Press the "Manage account" button and choose "Reset sync"
    # Choose "Replace all other devices with this computer's data" and press the Next button.
    # Press the Next button again to confirm your choice.
    This will get rid of the old data, including the tabs from your old computers. Warning: This will cause each browser to re-download all of your sync data, which can take a while (especially on a mobile device).

    Oracle doe not make the Java plug-in for Android due to Oracle's lawsuit against Google which of course is the developer of Android. Note that Java and JavaScript are two different things in case the message actually said JavaScript which should be enabled.

  • How do I add desktop view option to mobile version

    I have a website with a desktop & mobile version. I would like to add an option to the mobile version to view the desktop version on their phone and then a way for them to get back to their mobile version. What's the best way to do this. I tried this using hyperlinks but found that after viewing the desktop on my phone it stayed on desktop view after returning to the mobile platform. Do I just add a hyperlink to the desktop version to get back to the mobile version?

  • How can I disable Connect / AS SYSDBA

    Hi,
    How can I disable
    CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    Regards

    1) Oracle version?
    2) OS?
    3) Looks like you're using OS authentication method. Switch to password-file method, and set a meaningful password for sys. You'll need the users which should not login as sysdba out of the OSDBA group, since OS authentication has priority over password file authentication. To setup password file authentication, you'll need the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE at "EXCLUSIVE". You'll also need to create a password file ("ORAPWD FILE=filename PASSWORD=password ENTRIES=max_users").

  • How do I disable the tab with 'Firefox for Android' advertisement ? It is freaking me out

    Every time I open the Firefox browser, a new tab opens up with the ad suggesting me to try Firefox for android mobile. This is additional tab along with my regular home tab. My browser version is Firefox funnel cake 22.0 . It is freaking me out as this happens every time I open the browser. Provide me a solution or tell me to switch to a different browser. I mean who is the dumb idiot who suggested this idea ? Really ?? you want the add to stay there and irritate users everytime they open it ?

    Try to change your new tab by going to about:config, and in that address bar type in browser.newtab.url, right click it, and then hit modify. There will be a window that pops up that will let you type in the address you want to show up in your new tabs. There also might be a warning when going to about:config, but just accept it if it's there.

  • How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software" Slows & interfers

    How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software"  What a  Hassle it slows & interferes  Windows & applications.
    I can't find any information how to completely disable this software.  I can't imagine anyone likes it.  It just slows my computer & makes my other programs want to crash.  It wastes at least 2 to 5 minutes every single startup having to shut it down manually.
    I want it off my machine & I bet I am not the only one.  It reminds me of the old Windows over Dos mess.

    Brilliant1, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
    I believe that you can go into the Control Panel under "Pen and Touch".  You would uncheck the box "Use finger as input device" (some such words).
    I found this in another thread:
    Per HP Technical Support:  "Hp TouchScreen Configuration" has been replaced by "Pen and Touch."   More recent models would have "Pen and Touch," older models would have "HP TouchScreen Configuration."  The "Configuration" option does not appear on any TouchSmart 610 series all-in-one computers.   So to turn off the finger-operated TouchScreen one would use whichever appears on the Control Panel of the computer in question.

  • Backup Assistant Plus simply doesn't work, how do I disable it?

    I have a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III and when I set up my contacts, I added them as "Phone" entries with the expectation that the Backup Assistant Plus app would allow me to back them up. Except that it doesn't and, from what I've seen online, it is a miserable piece of junk that simply doesn't work for many people.
    Soooo....
    I sent all my contacts as a big V-card to my Gmail account, sorted things out in Gmail, unjoined them all on the phone, and deleted the Phone entries. Now I only have Gmail contact entries and they synch with no issues.
    My only question now is, how do I disable/stop Backup Assistant Plus so that it doesn't constantly give me notifications about how incapable it is? I've tried clearing it's data and forcing it to stop. But it comes back from the dead, like a demonic zombie! It appears the only thing the app can do is resurrect it itself for the sole purpose of notifying me that it will fail to do anything useful.
    Any and all help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

    The reason the steps to uninstall the app didn't work is because the DROID 3 is running Gingerbread (Android 2.3).  The instructions above were for the Samsung Galaxy S III running either ICS (Android 4.0) or Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).
    You can however "Clear the Data" for the app and from that point never use the app.  The phone will learn to not load it into the RAM in case you ever use it.

  • SNR License Issue. How Can I Disable SNR for all Users?

    Hi,
    I Have an issue with SNR on CUCM 10.5 and with assignement of license type
    I have a cluster with 400 users.
    200 users use ip phone 3905 and should be use an Essential License.
    When system check for assignement of license type , itassign a Basic License instead of an Essential License, because it see that users have SNR Enabled.
    All users in my system have SNR enabled, and I can not disable it. All my user have Enable Mobility unchecked, and all my phone have Device Mobility Off, but system however see SNR enable.
    How can i disable SNR for all users? This is a feature that client don't need.
    I dont' have a sufficent number of licenses for support all 3905 in Basic License.
    thanks for help.
    Andrea

    Well actually, Mobile Identity wouldn't apply to a 3905 unless those phones had another line on a Dual-Mode device like an iPhone or Android phone.  So unless you have either of those in your system you can scratch that idea.  Someone else may chime in here and try to help a bit more as RD/RDP are the main SNR culprits.
