How do I prevent the yellow bar from appearing across the top of Hotmail emails that says, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I DO NOT want plugin. How do I get Firefox to stop sending message?

Note: I did try to install the plugin just to see what would happen. When I clicked on "Install Missing Plugin" the next page said plugin could not be found---install manually. I clicked on manual install button and was directed to Adobe Flash Player - I already have current version of AFP installed.

Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page

I realize plugins are not part of Mozilla, but Mozilla is giving me a looping error message that something is missing when I don't see at all that anything is.
I receive this message when I am trying to play an audio file for transcription. "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". I know the program uses QuickTime, and that is up-to-date, but not sure what other plugins it would need.
There is an "Install Missing Plugins" button. When I click that, a Plugin Finder Service window opens and the message "No suitable plugins were found".

Do you have the Windows Media Player plugin?

Can you post a link to the page where you have that problem?

I installed Firefox 4 on my new computer and am getting a banner on some web pages stating "Additional plug ins are required to display all the media on this page - I haven't had this problem until today; I have been using Firefox on my Macs for years.

I just bought a new MacBookPro to replace my 3 year old MBP. I was not receiving the banner when I was on my old Mac running Firefox 3.6.16.
The yellow banner seems to appear randomly. I got it when I went to https://artistsnetwork.tv/e-myvideos.aspx and https://bit.ly.com but not when I went to Hootsuite, Twitter or textbroker.com.
There is an "Install missing plugins" button on the right side, but I'm afraid to click on it since I don't understand what might happen to my new computer.

Suddenly the bottom part of the browser window, under the slide bar, has vanished. I can't see where it says Done, or a website name or all the icons on the right side

The window just ends right below the slide bar. I tried closing the window and reopening it, even restarting the computer, but it didn't fix it. At first I thought the window was too big, so I tried resizing it, but it didn't work.

How do you prevent MS-DOS window from appearing during Runtime.exec()?

The question below was attached to the answer for Question of the Week No. 21. I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the answer? Put another way does anyone know how javaw does it?
Fri Dec 18 09:59:52 PST 1998

On Windows NT 4.0, how can I prevent CreateProcess()
from creating a cmd.exe window when using javaw and
Runtime.exec()? No such cmd.exe window is created if
instead I run "java" from the command line.
I have a C++ server named "foo", and have created
a Java applcation with Swing GUI named "foo.java".
This GUI captures configuration information and
then uses Runtime.exec() to start the C++ app, with
a socket established between the Java app and C++
app for later communication.
This is all working fine, and the Java application
and GUI working as expected. When I run "java foo"
from either the NT command shell (cmd.exe) or MKS
Korn shell (sh.exe) the Java application/GUI starts,
and when it calls Runtime.exec() my C++ process is
started as what appears to be a child process of the
"java" process, that is, no cmd.exe window is created
during the Runtime.exec("foo.exe") call.
However, when running the same Java application from
a shortcut on the desktop via "javaw", when I invoke
Runtime.exec() a cmd.exe window is created before my
C++ server is started. While things are running
ok and my Java app can still communicate with my
C++ server, is there anyway I can prevent this
cmd.exe window from being created, and instead, have
my C++ server run as a child process of javaw (or
an independent process without a cmd.exe)?

cmd always opens a dos window - use another console interpreter instead or just call the programm directly.
i.e.
Runetime.exec("c:\\myprogram.exe");
OR
The following demonstrates executing a command without bringing up a popup. import java.io.*;
public class Test {
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
    String[] command = {
      "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "/y", "/c",
      "dir"};
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
}However....
According to bug number 4244515 in Sun's Bug Parade (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4244515.html), javaw doesn't always work without bringing up new window.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

How do I prevent lost devices tabs from appearing in sync drawer?

Hi,
Linked Firefox Sync accounts that are no longer in use--or useable--still appear in the synced tabs drawer in Firefox for Android as different groups of tabs under corresponding device names.
This is despite trying to fix the issue by changing the account password from one device (PC) I still use and deleting my account/setting it up on Firefox for Android again with the new password.
It seems Firefox for Android (or the Firefox Sync system generally) syncs tabs from offline devices linked to the same email address, despite them not being set-up using the same password.
Whether this is by design, something not anticipated or just a bug, it makes it very tedious to scroll through the list of tabs from unwanted "devices" (actually, previous Firefox installations on my current PC, wiped along with entire drive during system reinstall) in order to find tabs directly under the device name corresponding to the current Firefox installation on my PC.
I'm prepared to delete the entire account and de-associate all my devices at once, and start fresh, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Hi sqph,
Thank you for your question, I understand that there is an issue with synced tabs on devices that no longer should be attached to the sync account.
Unfortunately there currently is no way to mange individual sync profiles fro specific devices. The device will be detached if another user tries to connect the old device to the attached account because the cookie will expire. However the data that has synced will still show up on other devices.
A fresh start is possible, I am currently asking if this is expected.

Why am I continually getting "Firefox has stopped working" messages?

Seems like constantly, several times a day, I receive the message "Firefox has stopped working" and that Microsoft or Windows is searching for the problem, and then it shuts down. When I open Firefox again, it takes me right back where I left off, with another open window. Also, since running an update a week or so ago, every time I click to open another site I get hit with the "Do you want Mozilla to allow this change?" That didn't happen before. Both are very annoying. I also lost my RoboForm toolbar unless I juggle back and forth the "Full Page" setting after dropping down the open menu bars. I am not, by any means, a computer whiz, so most of the help FAQs are written above my knowledge of computers level. Now when I just clicked "Automatically add" Troubleshooting info, at the bottom of this page, I got a pop up that said " Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on this computer". Now I'm really lost! I don't want to reset back to Default because I'll never get back the settings I currently have.

Regarding the message about allowing a change, is there more information about what the change is?
You have quite a few plugins, and they might not all be necessary. To minimize the influence of add-ons while you're troubleshooting this problem, I suggest the following.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
* Set unrecognized or rarely used plugins to "Never Activate"
* Consider setting "player" type plugins such as QuickTime, Silverlight, and Shockwave Flash to "Ask to Activate" so that sites cannot run them automatically. As you discover sites you want to allow to run the player every time, you can click the notification icon in the address bar (looks like a small Lego block) and give permission there.
In the left column, click Extensions.
* Remove unrecognized extensions, or disable them
* Disable rarely used extensions (for example, you don't use it daily)
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.
Hopefully this will help keep Firefox more stable.

Since upgrading to 4.0, get "Firefox has stopped working" message constantly.

Just upgraded to 4.o yesterday and now it constantly crashes. I can navigate no more than 2-3 pages before I get the message "Firefox has stopped working" and the session shuts down. How can I go back to a previous version of Firefox? Or do I just revert back to using IE, which works fine?

Did you try to disable plugins as well?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

"Firefox has stopped working" message everytime the browser is closed

Everytime I close the browser, I get "Firefox has stopped working" message. I have Firefox 18 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
I also uninstalled and re-installed firefox but the issue still remains

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps
