How do i stop plug ins from updating

Once or twice a week a box will pop up about updating plugins, then a completely different Firefox browser than I use pops up, there are no bookmarks in this browser, I close it, open my regular Firefox browser and all my bookmarks are gone.
How do I stop this updater from doing this?

What does the update window look like? This is the official plugin update site:
https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
Is that it, or something else?
What you're seeing may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Usually 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.
If you would like comments on whether any of your extensions look untrustworthy, you can extract a list from the Troubleshooting Information page. Either:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the upper left corner is a button to "Copy text to clipboard". When pasting into a reply, you'll see a lot of preference information below the extensions list. You can delete that lower part if you don't want comments on those.

How can I stop my ipod from updating to 6.0.1?

I was updating th settings to the latest software and hours later I found my screen had a sign that said plug into itunes. I plugged it into itunes, but screen didn't change and the software isn't updating! How can I stop the software from updating?

Put the iPod into DFU (Device Firmware Update mode). You software got corrupted, so you will have to restore your iPod which erases all data and settings.

Stop all plug-ins from updating for enterprise support

This would include Firefox updates. We will update globally when we are ready and after we have tested with our production applications.

How do I transfer plug-ins from CC to CC 2014?

I am a CC user. I use NIK and OnOne plug-ins in CC. When CC was updated to CC 2014, I opened the newer version but did not have the time to go through the initialization process, so I did not import the plug-ins as well as all my other settings. I want to transfer all the settings to CC 2014 so I can begin using the updated version. How do I do this?

Obtain the correct CC2014 installers from the plug-in vendors/ follow their specific instructions.

You may want to re-download the plugins from where you bought them and install them fresh for CS6. Or at a minimum check to see if new CS6 versions are available. The underlying architecture changed for plug-ins when CS6 was released. Some developers had to re-write CS6 versions. Some may work, while others may have had to be updated to work with CS6.

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old Apple ID was my old email address. I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.) it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id. I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up. I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either. I am getting help. I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.
Thank you all for your help! I hope we are able to resolve this issue. Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span. I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
Thank you.

Hi ,
Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
If win 7 32 bit
Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
If win 7 64
PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
Thanks,

I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

I have downloaded Adobe Reader. How do I activate Plug-Ins?

I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate. In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is. All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in." I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble. The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail. Help! Please!

How do i stop my mac from redirecting me to things such as mackeeper?

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
