You can use these steps to disable the snippets on the about:home page:
* Set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page
* Open about:home page in a tab
* Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Developer)
* Run this command via the command prompt: gSnippetsMap.clear()

You might have an app or iTunes purchase that belongs to a different Apple ID. Look very carefully at the popup and make sure it is referenceing your correct Apple ID.

HT2404 How can I stop the Software Update madness??

There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

How do I stop the Norton update Safari SafeWeb extension message

How do I stop the Norton update Safari SafeWeb extension message?
The Norton webpage does not open and the "Don't show this message again" box doesnot work.

Norton Antivirus (made by Symantec) has a very long and illustrious reputation for mangling Mac OS X systems, sometimes to the point where a complete reinstall is necessary. Among other things, it installs kernel extensions which are known to cause kernel panics and system freezes; it contains known and documented bugs which can silently corrupt Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign files, destroy a user's ability to authenticate as an administrator, and (on PPC systems) can cause Classic to stop functioning; and Symantec has on at least two occasions now released flawed .dat file updates which erroneously report certain critical Mac OS X files as "viruses." (Deleting these "viruses" causes damage to the system that in some cases renders it unbootable.)

How can I stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to 11.0.03?

Can anyone help with how to stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to Reader 11.0.03? My antivirus advises the link in the pop up is unsafe, so I went to the Adobe website to update from Reader 9. The website doesn't offer X1, but did offer X, so I updated to 10.1.7.
Why is the site not offering a download for X1?
Even though I have updated to X I am still getting the pop ups for X1. I have attached a screen shot of the pop up - is this legitimate or some kind of scam carrying a virus?
Thanks.

Hp split 13 X2 does not update to windows 8.1 how do I stop the auto update

My notebook runs with Windows 8.0 and functions well. Unfortunately the Windows OS want so to update to Windows 8.1 and my notebook does not accept the upgrade as it will not configure the change. Even though I have set the Windows update to require my approval before updates are initiated it continues to auto update to Windows 8.1. When the update fails my PC automatically reinstalls Windows 8.0 and I am back working again. This has happened 3X in the last 2 months and I am frustrated. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to stop this cycle?

Hi @PDaley,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that you are having an issue with updating your Windows 8 to 8.1. Although you have set the update to require your approval before installing the update, it does it automatically.
When the update fails it reverts back to Windows 8 and all is well.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 that may help.
You can also go to the Windows Compatibility Center that may also help to determine what is required for a successful upgrade.
This one from MIcrosoft may also help. Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.
Good Luck!

I don't want to upgrade to Firefox 5 because it won't let me use the Google toolbar. How can I stop the constant notifications?

I have Firefox 4.01, retrieved (thankfully) after installing Firefox 5. I noticed upon installation that my Google Toolbar was gone and the notification said Google Toolbar was not compatible with the new version of Firefox. After retrieving the copy of 4.01 from oldversions.com, I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop? I'll upgrade when you make this version compatible with Google's Toolbar.

The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

How can i stop the software update on iphone 4s

my software update is taking incredibly long and not moving along, how do i stop it and try again?

What app are you talking about?

I am an online professor using Blackboard 9.1. Bb only works with Firefox 3.6 so I need to prevent Firefox from automatically updating. How do I stop the harassing update popups?

I used to regularly update but I started experiencing problems with my online classes. Blackboard tech support said that your updates are not working so I had to uninstall and reinstall 3.6 and now everything works okay but I need to stop all the popups about updating.
I already have it set so it asks first but I do not want to be asked.
Thank you.
Thank you. Patrizia

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

How do I stop the Software Update messages without updating my software?

I keep getting Software Update messages asking me to update to Firefox 30.0 for a security and stability update. I do not wish to update any time soon, and I am tired of constantly getting these messages. The only two options I'm given is to "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox". When I hit the "Ask Later" button, the message keeps coming back very regularly. I don't want the message to keep coming back and I don't want to update. Is there a way to stop these messages from coming to me without actually updating?
Thanks.
