How do I stop a mini-popup from appearing when I mark text?

When I drag across text to mark it for copying, or click somewhere to start a mark which will be completed by a shift-click, a mini popup often oblterates the area, offering me "copy", "move" etc, and the pop-up cannot be moved to allow completion of the mark, but can be removed only by clicking on the edge of the window, which loses my marking, so I must start again and often suffer a similar pop-up, with the same result. (The pop-up offers no facilities which are not more easily obtained otherwise.) How can I defend against it?

I don't think that's a built-in feature of Firefox. It could be part of a particular web site's editor or it could be added by an add-on.
To quickly see whether it is from an add-on, you could try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that return selections to normal behavior?

How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

How do I remove the blue bar which appears when I make text tracking changes in CS5?

I have searched the preferences, but can't find an option to remove the ugly blue background which appears when you adjust the tracking of selected text. It really interferes with the design view, especially when working on large type sizes.
Please can someone let me know how to get rid of this annoying feature!!
thanks

Firefox displays a popup website but then blocks access to it. How can I stop the initial popup from occurring?

The webpage lnksr.com pops up a screen that then attempts to redirect to a spurious survey. I wish to block this web site, and, at the moment, only this web site. None of the tools available within Firefox seem to allow me to do this. As can be seen from the screen shot, it seems to Friefox that is generating the screen call. Thanks for any ideas.

These pop-up ads for "WeFeedback" are all over, around, and interweaved throughout my facebook wall. How can I stop this annoying ad from appearing? I have a pop-up blocker on and I disabled third party cookies.

Every time I go to Facebook, these "We Feedback" ads pop up. They appear throughout my post every other post. They appear on each side of my wall. I logged on to them and posted a comment and said that what they are doing is commendable. But STOP YOUR ADS, NOW!!!

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
Also, do you have McAfee Privacy Service installed? It disables the Firefox popup blocker. Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions.

How do I stop the side toolbar from appearing every time I open a pdf in Acrobat DC?

Right side tool bar is annoying in Acrobat DC . How can this be fixed?

Hi, VP JonRerera.
1. This is a very ugly design -- I understand Adobe wants users to pay money for those functions, but make it occupy users' precious screen space by default is a very awkward way.
2. Acrobat DC does not really "remember" the last state!! Every time, when we open a pdf file, the tool pane will be on the right. You are wrong with your product !
3. As an computer software engineer, I do not think fixing this one takes ~3 months. It only need to switch the default mode, unless Adobe is unwilling to do it.
4. People have figured out how to solve the problem (smarter than Adobe engineer??)
Solution by tmmcentyre
Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.
The new "right hand toolbar" in Acrobat DC is always on by default, proving instant access to frequently used tools. That said, we're definitely hearing a # of customers that want Acrobat DC to "remember" the last state. So if you close it, it'll remain closed when you open it next. Looking to have a fix in place in next ~3 months here.

How do we stop an extra window from opening when we use openDoc in 3.1?

We have migrated content from XI r2 to 3.1 and when we use the opendoc/openDocument.jsp, it works but is also opening a blank browser window. Any idea how to prevent this? We've tested on 3 different versions of IE (6, 7 and 8). It doesn't appear to be affected by user preference settings in InfoView and doesn't seem to matter if the new parameter is part of the URL. Here's a sample URL:
http://[server name]:[port]/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sPath=[ReportsByRole],[Shared]&sDocName=TrendedSupplyIndex+Report
We get the same result if we're using Crystal, Webi or Xcelsius and we get the same result if we use the wizard and build the connection on a Webi report so it's using the opendocument.jsp file that's in AnalyticalReporting\opendoc

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. We did try adding the window.close to the Tomcat55\webapps\OpenDocument\opendoc\isApplication.jsp file and that resolved the issue. However, we eventually figured out that we could get by without the customization by using different parameters in the report links.
This example works for Xcelsius (to Xcelsius, Webi)- it has to have the appKind and isApplication parameter:
/AnalyticalReporting/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?appKind=InfoView&isApplication=true&sPath=[ReportsByRole],[SHARED]&sDocName=DailyProductivityTool&lsSAU=406000&lsSFacility=Fa&lsSCompany=No
This example works for Crystal (to Crystal):
"../OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sPath=[Communications],[ReportLibrary]&sDocName=ReportProfile&sWindow=New&lsSReportID=" & {@ReportID}
This example works for Webi (to Webi):
="<a href=../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=Ac20j.bpit1IrTJ5MYi6dvw&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sWindow=New&NAII=Y&lsSPleaseentervalueforFiscalYear(YYYY)="[var_Year]"&lsSPleaseentervalueforStartFiscalMonth(MM)="[var_Start Month]"&lsSPleaseentervalueforStopFiscalMonth(MM)="[var_Stop Month]"&lsMSelectoneormoreAccountingUnit(s)="[var_CoEntAcctUnit]" title=\"Departmental Responsibility Summary\" href=\"#\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color:blue;\">"[var_Co]"-"[Account Unit]+"</a>"

How do I stop VI Package Manager from crashing when I try to use it?

So I've been wanting to play around with the Arduino toolkit, but when I installed the VI Package Manager, the splash screen stayed up for a very long time. I tried quitting in Task Manager, and running it again. This time after about 10 seconds, it gave me the standard Windows crash dialog. I tried running it as Administrator, but that didn't help. I also tried running it in XP compatibility mode, and that opened a popup saying it couldn't detect a LabVIEW installation, but it still wouldn't load (It didn't crash though; just stayed at the splash screen.) I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, and LabVIEW 2011 Professional Development System.

You really should ask this question on the VIPM board at JKI.

How do I stop a new tab from opening when I click a link?

Whenever I click a link, it opens in a new tab. This just started almost a week ago, but I didn't change any settings or click anything--it just started doing it by itself. It is extremely irritating, because it just increases the number of tabs I have.

Okay, so I tried that, but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?

How do I stop a new tab from appearing that tells me to update to the latest verson of a video player.

This tab comes up every time I start Firefox, and often several times in a row.

This can be caused by a bad add-on or other malware. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it looks:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
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.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

How can I stop the download dialog from appearing every time I open Firefox 5.o latest version?

Ever since I downloaded Firefox 5.0 the other day I get the download dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1. I told the download dialog to save Firefox 5.0.1 when I downloaded it. If I now say yes to the dialog it will download and save a new copy of the program like 5.0.1 (1). If I say cancel on the dialog I keep getting the dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1.

I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

How do I stop Creative Cloud trial from loading when I open CS6?

When I try to open CS6 a trial version of Creative Cloud opens instead.
I cannot get rid of it!
I do not want it!
If I cancel the trial screen it closes CS6.

Hi Brian Lowes,
When you open CS6 the CC opens in trial mode. In the trial screen do you see any option to License this software. If yes, select License this software and sign in with your Adobe id and password. When prompted enter the CS6 key.
Please let us know whether it worked.
