How Do I Turn Off "Are you sure you want to open it" Alerts?

I create websites and frequently download web pages to work with.
When I open a downloaded web page in Safari I get an alert such as
"index.html is a web application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
How do I disable that behavior?
Thanks,
DAN

Select the box where you see: Open "safe" files after downloading.
I am not sure about the OP but this is definitely not what I want. I do not want anything to open automatically. I just want items downloaded to my desktop (for me to open later) without having to tell Safari to do this twice or having to remove warnings when I do decide to open downloaded files.
Is there a way to turn off this silly Apple protection for all applications/files?

As was already said: the camera's interpretation of the raw data is just one interpretation, and not the same as Adobe's. Don't confuse it with "exactly how they were shot", as this doesn't apply when shooting Raw. Granted it IS the manufacturer's interpretation, but you wouldn't be shooting Raw and using Adobe Camera Raw if you thought the manufacturer was always right.
One thing nobody has mentioned is Adobe's "baseline exposure" compensation factor. Camera Raw adjusts the default preview exposure by a factor of EV based on their measurements of the camera sensor. My present camera is boosted by 0.35EV and my last camera by 0.5EV. There is a way of determining this using EXIFTOOL, but I can't remember how to do it offhand. For the last few years, I have adjusted my own Camera Raw defaults by reversing this compensation, so it more closely matches the exposure I was expecting.
EDIT: here's the procedure, if you're interested. Re: Baseline Exposure

How do I turn off the automatic check for update on opening Firefox? I want to turn off that "what's new" page.

How do I turn off that automatic update that always brings me to the "what's new" web page? It was interesting the first time, but now it is just an irritation. I can check for updates on my own, so I want to turn off this feature. It just started up when I upgraded to Firefox 5. I can't find a place to stop it from checking and bringing me to that web page. Also, I can't stop it from checking add-ons every single time I open the browser.

did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??

How do I turn off Picture Sharing? I want to send ...

As above, recently I can't send images the same way as other files. I want the receiver to get the file directly. Right now Skype uploads the image to some website and also changes the file name, which is a big problem for me. Also it's very impractical for the receiver to have to open the link all the time.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Please ask the recipient of your file to upgrade to the latest version of Skype for their platform. The latest versions of Skype for all supported devices are available at http://www.skype.com/download.
All current Skype versions show the file within the conversation and do not require to open them in the browser any longer. By default Skype opens a thumbnail for received files. Make sure your pick a location to save the image as a receiver and you will get the original file and not a smaller thumbnail in a different file format.

How can I turn off the share link feature from the 'open link' menu?

Longpressing a link in firefox opens a menu.
I want to remove the "share link" thing from this menu, as that is something I'd NEVER do.
It's highly intrusive and gets in the way with it's "prime" position at the top of the list.
Couldn't find any flag in about:config or anywhere. Going to take a look at google-chrome now, see if that thing is better. I'll miss adblock.

Hi t.rei,
Thank you for your feedback. Please also include this in input.mozilla.org where the User Advocacy team lobbies features from gathered feedback.
Unfortunately I do not have a work around for this feature.

If javascript can no longer be disabled - how do I leave a website that asks the "are you sure you want to leave this site" pop up question without a yes choice

Given that the turn off javascript option will be disabled - how do I close a page that does not allow me to leave by giving a "are you sure you want to leave" pop up question but then redirects to itself where it again asks that question perpetually?
The only way to kill a page like that sofar was to disable javascript and then close the tab.
Now I will have to close the browser - and possibly loose all the tabs I have open.
I want a javascript quick switch - allowing me to easily disable javascript for any page at will.
(esp for some of my older, slower netbooks)
Or at least a "FORCE CLOSE" option for malicious webpages.

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I have recently upgraded our portal to 7.3 sps10 and we are using the Ajax framework
I have a requirement to Remove the Logoff Dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I am able to Import masthead.war into NWDS and get the project ready for development with the appropriate jar and libraries.
I am able to deploy the project also. I need help finding How to turn this dialog box off and just log the user off. I was able to accomplish this in Classic frame work page HeaderiView.jsp.
I have looked at afpmasthead.org.sj and masthead.jsp. I am not a js/jsp developer.
I can see the logoff dialog box being created but I am having trouble finding the logoff code.
Please advise me on the code changes required to remove the Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?" from the Ajax framework.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Sarah

Thank you Troy for your Helpful Threads.
Problem Solution:
Followed the thread on How to download and change AFP Masthead on SAP Portal 7.3
Located the file which contains the logoff code from thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3265584
The File with the Logoff coding in it is a Javascript file afpmasthead.js
Identified logoff code without dialog box using this thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/3307601
NovaDialogBox.performLogout(); (perform logoff)
I was able to remove the Logoff dialog box Do you really want to logoff? And replace it with logging the user off.
afpmasthead.js All the code is on 1 line, To fix this go to -->Source -->Format
Comment out the following lines of code and replace with logoff code
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
NovaDialogBox.performLogout();

How do I stop click-thru "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"?

Every single time I launch Firefox 20 under Mac OS X 10.7.5 I get the click-thru warning message "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". How do I stop this? There are internet postings and previous postings about solving this using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a Firefox ONLY issue, and solving it by globally turning off OS X security features as recommended before in a previously closed thread seems like a really BAD solution. Is there a "Firefox only" solution, or will I just have to stop using Firefox?

I had upgraded to Firefox 20 using the automatic update process, so the last time I'd downloaded a .dmg and manually installed Firefox was a long time ago. I trashed Firefox 20, downloaded a new .dmg and manually transferred to Applications folder and this persistent message ended. I assume if I'd ever launched from the open .dmg the same error message would result, so the fix offered was a solution even though the cause was something different since I only used the automatic update process and never manually handled Firefox .dmg downloads.

How do I turn off HP Sure supply notification pop-ups?

Hi,
How do I turn off HP Sure Supply notification pop-ups? They are constant and annoying. I buy HP inks from a different supplier, please help.
Liz

Hi @lh39,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to turn off the HP Sure Supply notifications, you are using a different brand of cartridges and keep getting the pop up.
1. Start Menu
2. Control Panel
3. Devices and Printers
4. Highlight your OJ 8600 (Click on it)
5. You should now notice at the top of the devices and printers box there is a Print server properties tab (see pic below)
6. Once in the print server properties please click on the Advanced tab
7. Make sure ALL the boxes are unchecked (see pic below)
8. Click Apply
Please keep in mind that this will not turn off essential printer messages, notifying you of problems such as lack of ink or paper jams; it turns off messages notifying you of the completion of a print job or low ink warnings. Essential printer messages are built into the firmware of the printer itself and cannot be disabled.
I got this helpful information www.ehow.com
If you are still getting the error message, use genuine HP ink cartridges to avoid the pop up.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you require more assistance.

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

Hi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps
Alex
