How do I stop bookmarks from automatically opening when the cursor is over them?

Bookmarks folders open immediately when cursor passes over them. I hate this. I don't want the folders to open unless I click on it.

I am not entirely sure what you are describing.
Where are the 'Bookmark folders ' that give you a problem
* within some sort of document or file
*on firefox
** on the bookmarks toolbar
**on the sidebar
**in the firefox bookmarks library
* on a drop down menu from the location bar
* somewhere else
try to answer the above questions and give more detail, someone will probably try to help.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically opening when I start iTunes?

    A couple months ago, something very strange started happening.
    Every time I open iTunes, Safari starts up opened to this page:
    file:///Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/OmniGraffle%20H elp/index_Customizing.html
    It is an HTML page for "OmniGraffle Help," even though I have never installed OmniGraffle.
    Anyone know how this came to be and how I can prevent this from happening anymore? Thanks for any help.

  • How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

    how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
    programs such as.. email and Skype.
    When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

    sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
    system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
    unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
    Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

  • How do I stop iMessage from automatically opening my conversation with a person when they message me?

    iMessage problem on my ipod. Whenever someone messages me on imessage and my ipod is locked it'll come up on my lock screen and even if I don't swipe the message, imessage automatically pops up and opens the conversation. How do I stop this?

    What do you mean it opens automatically? Do you have a passcode on your device?
    So if the phone is locked and you watch the screen as a message comes in, does it automatically (without any interaction) open the conversation or what?  Do you see the alert then it automatically opens without touching it?

  • How do i stop firefox from automatically opening a new tab when i type an address into the address bar?

  • How can I stop Foxfire from automatically loading when I turn on my computer that runs on Windows Vista?

    Foxfire automatically loads when I boot up my computer after all the other essential programs boot up. I'd like to know how to disable the start-up menu link that allows the program to load up when the computer first starts up because the Foxfire browser isn't needed when I first start the computer. Besides, when I first start my computer, it's inevitably not hooked to the internet and it's just a bit annoying to see foxfire load when it's not needed. Furthermore, it takes up precious memory in the RAM when it's running, thus slowing down my machine. Please, someone show me how to keep this program from booting when I start up my computer. By the way, my system is Windows Vista and Foxfire does not show up in the start-up folder. Only by going to the default program page and clicking on Foxfire does it show that Foxfire has a hidden default that makes it start when the computer starts. All I'm looking for is to not see it when I boot my computer.

    Thanks for pointing me to the link about the startup programs changes. I found the solution there. Foxfire was hiding in the hidden startup menu. Once I found it using msconfig, I was able to stop it from loading when I started my computer. Again, thanks for the help.

  • How can I stop it from automatically syncing when I plug my iPod in?

    Is there any way to stop iTunes from popping up and syncing my iPod when I plug it in? I have about 1000 songs that are misplaced and I do NOT want them all erased off of my iPod when I plug it in. Yet, all the ways that are explained mean that you have to plug your iPod into the computer and have iTunes open and sync it just so you can click the box telling it not to sync. ANY way around this? Please help.

    Open the iTunes preferences and turn that option off, or press the Shift and Control keys while connecting the iPod to your computer, releasing them once the iPod appears.

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically filling in the spaces for my username and password on one of my password protected websites?

    Firefox is automatically entering my username and password on my Sacramento State University secure password site. I am trying to get that function stopped. I do not want my username and password automatically entered in the spaces provided for log in. I want to manually enter that information myself each time I log in to that particular secure password protected site.
    So far...I can not find a way to do that. All I find is a way to change my password. I do not wish to change my password. I just do not want it automatically entered for me.

    Thanks guys...I did as you suggested and it worked! Thanks!
    However...just want you all to know...a computer illiterate like myself had trouble finding which function on the menu bar to click on to find the options and security settings to "unclick." Eventually...I found the correct window.
    Thanks again...your advice worked!
