How do I prevent the "Downloads" pop-up box from appearing when I open an attachment since Firefox also gives me the "Opening...txt" box?

My software allows a user to open Attachments. I get a box with the title "Opening message1.txt" which also has an "Open with" radio button. I then click the OK button and my attachment is displayed. However, I also get a second box with the title "Downloads." How do change the Firefox Options to not get the Downloads box?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari. I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images. Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future. Jumpscare.
aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time. This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

How do I stop my sign- in information (email address and password) from appearing when I open gmail?

This is a work computer and I am leaving shortly. Whenever I open gmail in bookmarks, my email address and password are already in their boxes. Obviously, the new guy, or anyone for that matter, can easily access my account. I need to delete the info. Signing out does not work as it just reappears each time I sign in. Neither does selecting and deleting the info.

This is happening because Firefox has been configured to remember your usernames and passwords for the sites that you visit. To remove this data, see the instructions in this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering%20passwords#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and deleting passwords].

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
NC:alwaysAsk="false"
NC:saveToDisk="false"
NC:useSystemDefault="false"
NC:handleInternal="false">

<NC:possibleApplication RDF:resource="urn:handler:local:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"/>

</RDF:Description>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"
NC:path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"
NC:prettyName="msmoney.exe" />
Not sure if that helps.
Thanks again for the reply

How do I prevent the i tunes store appearing as a popup each time I open i tunes? I rarely download and this is an unwanted step. Thanks

Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.

You can't prevent users from resizing a pop-up.

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list. I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them. Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order? I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop.. Any suggestions?

That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

How can we prevent the PO while creating the sales order

Hi All,
How can we prevent the PO number while creating sales order with existing PO. I have checked the box in sales document type as A but still im able to create sales order with same PO.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen

Hi
In VOV8 check the box
Check Purchase Order Number
The purpose of this field is to check for duplicate
purchase order (PO) numbers during sales order entry. When you select A in
this field, SAP gives a warning message during sales order creation if another sales
document for same customer with the same PO number exists already. Leave this
field blank if you do not want SAP to check for duplicate PO numbers.
regards
