How do I turn off Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash Advertisements which slow the browser to less than a crawl.

Some pages have 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash advertisements running at the same time, which slows the browser down tremendously. Then, if you happen to have multiple tabs open, the browser crawls to a virtual standstill, and many times, stops responding at all.
I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not have it be something that runs all the time for every page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - which kills even the Adobe Flash items you might want to view; such as a youtube video.
Why is there not a way to turn Adobe Flash off in the browser? I have updated both Firefox and Adobe Flash but nowhere is there an option for turning it on or off depending on your needs.
Can a control be added to the Internet Options, that you can set, to have a page ask before it is allowed to run Flash Content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY enhance the enjoyment of browsing multiple pages.
Any information on how to do this, would be appreciated.

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you.
I guess it would have been too simple for it to have the same name. I was looking for Adobe Flash, whereas Firefox's add-ons manager page calls it Shockwave Flash.
Kind of hard to see an orange when the only label the box has is grape. :)
I truly appreciate your help.

    how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace. I have no reason to use icloud on MBA. I have an iphone that's functional & MBA's only a wordprocessor network'd to other machines & server. iclould serves NO FUNCTION on MBA. I have tried to remove it but have been unable to "log out".

    Icloud is a web based service.  If you are not actively using it, then it has no effect on your MBA.

  • How can I turn off Adobe Reader X Popup Bubbles Permanently?

    I feel like I've gone backwards ten years to the first version of Windows XP, when everything resulted in an annoying popup or dialogue or bubble that required my attention and my intervention.  My hope is for Adobe to learn the lesson that Microsoft learned ten years ago.
    Adobe Reader X is full of popups.  How can I turn them off permanently?  I've spent hours searching the internet and the forums.  I've seen the messages that explain dismissing a popup on a document permanently turns it off for that document.  I've seen the message that reveals a registry key called "bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble".
    But I want to turn off the popups for all documents permanently.  I don't want to navigate to the tiny little 'x' on the bubble of every document.
    The bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble key doesn't exist anywhere in my registry.  I'm comfortable searching with regedit and making changes.  The key doesn't exist.
    How can I permanently turn off Adobe Reader X popup bubbles?

    In my earlier message, I explained that I found such a message.  It was the
    exact same message you're showing me.
    Now what?  As I explained, that key doesn't exist in my registry.  Is it a
    Boolean?  a DWORD? or what?
    BTW, it's not risky to "search" the registry.  It's risky to "guess" what
    kind of change to make to your registry and then change it according to
    your guess.

  • HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
    REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
    JM

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • How do i turn off TFS adding bulds to Global List? and or to the "Found In" drop down in work items?

    We do not use the standard TFS build definitions in our drop downs, and have scripted updating the global list with our standard build numbers. However, we get both the TFS builds and our build numbers in the "Found In" field of work items. How
    do I disable TFS automatically adding the "Builds - " list into the "Found In" field Rules? and or updating the Global List?

    Hi CRHill,  
    Thanks for your post.
    What’s the version of your TFS Server?
    What’s the “not use the standard TFS Build definitions in our drop downs” mean? 
    You’re using the TFS Build Definition to build your solution but not use the default TFS build process template in it?
    If you don’t use TFS build definitions to build  your solution, how the TFS builds’ numbers be generated and added in team project Global list?
    As far as I know all the completed TFS build numbers will be added in to team project Global list by default, and there’s no a default way to turn off that in TFS Server. Please refer to the workaround in this article:

  • How do I turn off Adobe Speed Launcher?

    I run Adobe Reader XI and since the last update, every time my system starts I get a prompt from WinPatrol that Adobe Speed Launcher wants to run at startup.  It is identified only as "1419364033" and has the notice "File does not exist" in the description field.
    I prune my startup list regularly; frankly I don't want unnecessary "speed launchers" taking up memory and cpu cycles.  I've tried to delete this from startup but it keeps coming back.  How do I get rid of it?

    Hi all,
    We have rolled out a fix for this issue.
    Please log off and log back in to your machine and the issue should be resolved automatically. In case that does not work, please manually run the msi installer posted here (may require reboot).
    For details, please refer to the KB article here: Multiple RunOnce keys created 11.0.10 and 10.1.13 Acrobat | Reader
    Please let us know if you still face any issues.
    Thanks,

  • How can I turn off automatic logins to web sites

    Just re-installed fire fox and now it automatically logs me in to sites with stored passwords. I don't want this as it is really not secure, is it. It allows anyone to use my logins.

    It seems that no-one has figured this problem out yet. In the past Firefox only filled in site login details after one started to type in ones user name. Now when one goes to a site the user name and password are already filled in. This would enable anyone using the computer to log in. This makes a nonsense of Firefox having a "secure" password protected folder. This has only happened since the most recent update and needs fixing.
    Does anyone from Firefox actually read these posts. It would be a great help if one could a some real response and not just a suggestion to browse the forum to see if any other user has the problem.

  • How do I turn off Facebook text messages?

    Hello,
    I really don't know where to ask this question, so I hope I'm posting it in the right location. I transitioned from the iPhone 3GS to the new iPhone 4S. On my older iPhone, I NEVER received text messages from Facebook (which is a good thing). However, now that I am using the 4S, I am constantly getting bombarded with text messages from Facebook. They are "notifications", ie, when someone posts to my wall or if someone responds to a comment that I made.
    I don't know if this is something that is controlled from the Facebook web page (using Safari on my iMac), or if it is controlled from the Facebook app on my iPhone, or if it is controlled from "Settings" or "Notifications" on the iPhone. I have tried all of these places and turned everything off. All notifications for Facebook are in the "OFF" position. I am at my wit's end because this stupid thing is waking me up in the middle of the night with Facebook text messages.
    If anyone can help me in finding out how to turn this feature off, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks!

    Okay, it has been a few hours and I have not had a single text message from Facebook. WHEW!!
    It had to be your suggestion that fixed it. I don't know how I missed turning off that one notification, but I guess that's what did the trick. They have made this notification stuff a bit confusing, becasue there are multiple areas where you can go in and turn stuff on and offf, and you really can't tell what it is you're doing until it's too late.
    Thanks again for your help. I will mark this question as "Answered".

  • How can I turn off login keychain?

    How can I turn off login keychain prompt?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid. If the box labeled Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?

    How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.

    Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
    From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
    "If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
    But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
    I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
    To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck!
