How do I disable your annoying screen urging an update to a newer version of firefox?

You are annoying me and it may cause me to delete Firefox and use another browser if you do not frankly and forthrightly answer my question and not skirt the issue and pretend you are addressing a question about auto-updates because that is not my question, which in fact is: How do I disable the window you have put on my home page that urges an upgrade to a newer version of Firefox? I simply want to keep the older version because I do not like your newer version, so don't end up like Avira (My former virus protection) and get replaced with a competing product merely because you have thoughtlessly gone overboard with the splash screen notifications. After all, I really do want to continue to say I like Firefox, not I used to like Firefox until... Put another way, its just like "A Few Good Men" Is this crystal?

Upgrading to Firefox 12 is a '''HUGE security exposure''' because it bypasses UAC on Windows 7.
I am staying with Firefox 11 and I would like to know how to disable the annoying UAC message triggered by Firefox Updater that pops up whenever I start Firefox.
Thanks.

How can I update to the new version of Firefox if I have Linux Canaima 2.0?

Hi! I have a laptop acer and I have installed Linux Canaima 2.0.3, which is a debian distribution with some features of Ubuntu. I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but could not install because it tells me that there are certain dependencies with the old version and how to do to remove the previous version of browser and install the new one. Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Either you need to install those missing dependencies or install a more up to date Linux distro version that has more current packages and not ones that are probably from 4+ years ago being based on a long term support debian version.
There is a Canaima 3.0 which was released May 2011 for example. http://canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/
You might be able to install Firefox 3.6.18 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

The new version of firefox is ridiculously slow, how do I go back to the old version?

As requested I recently updated to the newer version of firefox, since I did that it has been really slow. I would like to go back to the older version, how do I do that?

Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.

How do I disable the welcome screen in iCloud

This may seem like a simple question but every time I attempt to access my iCloud account, I get the Welcome screen asking me if I want to activate Find Your device (whatever device I'm using) and if I want to activate Find my Friends (NO) etc. Half the time I don't even know what the correct address is for iPad and get all kinds of other websites and I just give up. Now I'm in a CRITICAL SITUATION in which I've gotten a Time Machine message that my WD Drive is no longer backing up and must be reformatted immediatly - YIKES! As you all can see I am very frustrated - I am still in the process of restoring data I lost from a hard drive failure in JUNE 2011 LOL How do I disable the Welcome screen in iCloud? What exactly is the correct web address? Sounds like a question for Watson. I know others have had a similar problem with WD external drives; can I recover enough data to get me back up and running? All my Time Machine back ups are on that drive. Awhile ago I bought Carbon Copy; it is apparently not functioning as it should (again back up on that drive) because I did the upgrade prior to getting the data off the WD drive, it installed a Trial Carbon Copy and is now asking me to reinstall what is sees as new software thus the last disc image is "lost. HELP PLEASE

Where are you trying to access your iCloud account, and from what device?
If you are trying to access your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com/ from an iOS device, you can't. The iCloud.com website is not designed to be accessed from iOS devices - access it on your Mac.
Your Time Machine and WD external backups and Carbon Copy backups are nothing to do with iCloud, so I don't know what you think accessing iCloud will achieve in your situation anyay.

How can I disable the splash screen in Photoshop CC?

Normally there's a welcome screen where I can disable the splash screen, however since there's no such screen in CC I wonder how I can disable the splash screen?
Anyone can help me out?

I think you may need to make some registry changes if you want to get rid if it. For applications like Lightroom and bridge and droplets are not going to use your shortcuts to start Photoshop up they will use what in the windows registry for key Photoshop.exe for command open and edit as will file associations when you double click on an image file type associated with Photoshop

Connect to a network printer for air print, after disconnect from the wifi iphone keep pop up a message saying the printer is offline. How do I disable this annoying message?

Hey ronniefai,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
Viewing the Print Summary
You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.

If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
Thanks,
Matt M.

When I'm on an email FF stops me from linking to other pages/sites. Requires that I press Allow. This started recently. How do I disable this annoying feature?

When I am reading an email that I received and want to follow a link in that email, FF prevents me from doing so. It shows a new pane informing me that FF has prevented me from following the link. If I click the "Allow" button in the upper left-hand corner, I am then linked through.
This does not happen when I am on a particular website. In that case I have no trouble navigating the indicated links.
FF Preferences does not give me a way to disable this annoying feature that slows me down.
This problem started recently - possibly the last two weeks. It recurs whenever I use FF.
How can I disable this annoying "feature"?

You're welcome

How do you disable your anti virus to update to 5.1?

How do you disable your anti virus to update to 5.1? And is it on your computer or iPad?

The iPad doesn't have antivirus, so it won't be on there. If you are downloading the update via your computer's iTunes then how you disable you antivirus and firewall software will depend upon what the software is - Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, ... ? If you know whose it is then somebody on here might have the same software and be able to tell you.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to the new iWork

I am reposting my reply in one of the discussions on iWork here as a new thread, hoping to get more direct help with my renewed concerns about iWork update.
We all have our own field of profession, our own workload and deadlines to meet.... I don't think it's ethical for Apple to dump that responsibility to users.
It's Apple's responsibility to make sure their updates don't leave out the features that users of the old version had invested their precious time / money in -- especially if Apple relentlessly pushes users to upgrade
It's been **** ever since my upgrade to new iWork. Long story short, I was back to iwork 9, after many trips to apple store, many hours reading and trying out various suggestions from forum discussion, and much headaches and loss of productivity....
After all that, you think Apple would leave you alone? No. Last week, I could not open my files that I need for my work beause an automatic update was running for me DESPITE the fact that a genious bar guy helped to make sure No AUTOMATIC UPDATE is selected in my system preference.
Now, I am back again with iWork 09, I want to keep it that way until Apple comes up with a sensible/responsible iWork update ...
But I am worried that the new version will be back on me, causing disruption again ... because I still see everyday Apple's notification urging me to update.
Please help me find out: How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to their new iWork ?
How to hold Apple accountable ?
Your attention and suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Peter,
Thank you for your response. I know what you meant, and don't disagree with most of you said. Just wanted to avoid sending conflicting info to Razor06, I thought I'd make the following kind of counter points:
I am doing fine with my old Pages now, but not after frustrating weeks caught in between the 2 versions of Pages... In my experience, when both versions of Pages were running in my hard drive, the New version overtook the task every time... I could not get out of the trap until after I moved the New version to an external drive.
I used the word 'corrupted' facetiously to refer to the files that were opened by the New version
You were right: no need to re-save the old files that are not touched by the new version.... I said the same thing, but perhaps not as clearly ...
Apple does send me update notifications from time to time, because I only turned off the Auto Update. I did not turn off the Auto Check because I thought I still need it.
Totally see your points, no disagreement here:
         " Just get this straight:
                There are old files and software, and new files and software.
                The old can't open the new. "
Thanks again !
Sasha

My new version of Firefox crashes as soon as it opens, even in safe mode, at the 'restore session' page. How can I get that session back?

I updated to the newest version of Firefox and restarted the internet. When it reopened the browser, it had the 'about session restore' tab open, but when I clicked on it, it crashed. I've restarted the computer three times to no avail.
The browser opens, then says 'Not Responding' before you can click on anything, then crashes.
The Mozilla Crash Reporter appears, and I click to restart (or quit - same results) then it suggests to open in safe mode, which I do, but the same thing happens repeatedly and I get nowhere.
It wasn't even generating a crash report but finally one went through to my email: bp-0a80049a-6643-452d-b3b2-d8c622130823.
I want to restore my previous version, as I had tabs open that I need to go back to.
Could you please advise me how to proceed?
Thank you.

I don't have a good sense of what is going wrong.
Was Firefox stable in step 3 -- open with no sessionstore.js file and then exit?
If that was stable, it might be easiest to cull the open URLs from your sessionstore.js file and re-open the most important ones manually. You will lose the ''detail'' of your session on those pages (e.g., data you had entered into a form), but if that's okay, it might be the next step.
I found a script on mozillaZine that will extract URLs from the sessionstore.js file; I just changed the formatting of the output. To run the script:
(1) Return to your profile folder and rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old again, then copy it to a convenient location
(2) Start Firefox (it should be in a new session)
(3) Open the following link, select all (Ctrl+a), copy (Ctrl+c) to copy the script to the clipboard: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/sessionstore_reader.txt
(4) Open the <s>Error Console</s> Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j), click next to <s>Code</s> the caret (>>) and paste, then press Enter <s>or click Evaluate</s>
(5) A file selection window should appear. Navigate to the convenient location and open sessionstore.old from there.
(6) As long as the file is not corrupted, a new tab should open with a list of all the URLs the script found in the file. You can save this page for future reference if desired. Also, you can close the <s>Error</s> Browser Console now.
