How do I stop addon pages opening when they update?

Everytime certain addons update (NoScript for example) their homepage is loaded. I find this really annoying as I want updates to happen silently. Is there a way to stop them doing this?

Hi,
That is odd.
The most common cause is that people have added it to System Preferences > User and Groups > Your account > Login items.
Is it staying removed ?
If it is not it sounds like you have lost the correct setting on the file that holds that info.
(it could also be caused by the same setting being lost on the containing folders.)
The Setting in Messages > Preferences > General section should also stop it independently from that.
I do have this set myself.
However I also Quit all apps when I am about to Shut Down so that no Windows are open to effect the last setting you quote.
I will say that sometimes if I select Shut Down really quickly after closing Apps they will sometimes be "remembered" and reopened the next Start up.

How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

How do I stop mail from opening when I launch safari?

Can someone please let me know if there is a way to stop mail from opening when I launch safari.
Thanks

You are really confused. There are several things I'd recommend, first is becoming more familiar with your computer by visiting (and bookmarking)
Mac 101
Find Out How Video tutorials
Switch 101
Next, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac. You will find the phone number in your manual or you can also click the AppleCare Contact Info if you cannot find it. However I would STRONGLY recommend carefully reading your manual. The AppleCare people will be able to help you sort out what you have done. You can also visit and Apple Store and speak to a Genius for free, just make an appointment.

How do I stop thumbnails from opening when inserting pdf in Acrobat XI.

Operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded from Acrobat X. When I inserted a pdf into another pdf it was done. In Acrobat XI when I insert the thumbnails column opens up and I have to click on it to close it. This is annoying.

Bill, where do I find the initial view? I did a chat with Adobe and was told this was designed in to Acrobat XI and that every time it opened I could press F4 to close it. They had me fill out a Feature/Bug report.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

How do I stop two shapes touching when they overlap?

Hi there! I'm trying a version of the tutorial (I'm new to Illustrator) but I want to find out how to cut away a bigger version of the top shape from the bottom shape. I know that's not very clear, so here are some pictures of what I mean!
What is happening:
What I want to happen:
I want the white around the fish to be transparent. If I try adding a stroke it cuts into the fish shape not away from it.

clazface,
If it is as it looks, you may:
1) Select the top shape path (group) and Object>Path>Offset by the desired gap width, then change its colour to white so you can see what you are doing and possibly undo/redo to adjust;
2) Select the offset path and the underlying path and in the Transparency palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked.

Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!
-Kayl
PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)
