How do I turn off, disable, remove Sync from my copy of Firefox.

I have two computers, one for work and one for home. I have completely ignored the message that comes up at the bottom of the screen on the work computer asking me to set up sync. On that machine, passwords I have saved remain, regardless of how many times I restart Firefox.
On my home machine, I once got sucked into trying to set up sync and now it forgets every password everytime I restart Fiirefox. I check before I shut down and, yes, there are passwords saved, but once I shut down and restart, it tosses all of them away. I LOATHE THIS FEATURE. How do I get my home machine back to the place where Firefox keeps telling me I haven't set up Sync or better yet, how do I completely and irrevocably remove sync from my system?

From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • 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.

  • How do I turn off the auto suggestions from Goggle on Firefox's home page

    How do I turn off the auto suggestion on Firefox/Google home page? I cannot stand that feature of Google. If I can't be done, I will go back to Firefox 3.x. When I was using Firefox's home search page (Powered by Goggle), it did not auto suggest.

  • TS4006 How do I turn off Find My Iphone from my PC

    I downloaded the new IOS& software into my Iphone 5 and I was trying to set the switch controls to make it easier to retrieve Apple Radio. Anyhow, I have locked myself out of my phone because the switch controls will not allow any button to work on the Iphone screen. I want to reset Iphone to an earlier time but I cannot because I can't turn off Find My Iphone from my Iphone settings. Is their anyway to do this from my computer so I can reset my iphone?

    My problems is that the Settings App keeps crashing, so I cannot go into Settings to turn off Find My Phone.
    I need to Restore my phone to,hopefully, get Settings to work again.  But I can't do a Restore until I turn off Find My Phone, which I can't do because Settings keeps crashing. 
    Talk about a vicious circle.  
    I went into iCloud/Find My Phone on my laptop and removed my phone.  I then went to iTunes to try a Restore but it STILL says I have to turn off Find My Phone.  I have done that three times now.
    Should I also take the step "Erase My Phone?"  I have a great  fear of doing that because what happens if I erase the phone and it STILL won't restore?  Then I'll be totally screwed.
    This all started because I updated to 7.1 yesterday. 
    Thanks, Apple!

    I need to get on a website for work and I can only use Firefox and when I go into 1 the course is it says there's a pop up blocker how do I shut off the pop up blocker

    I couldn't locate a way to disable the pop-up blocker directly in the UI without using about config:
    *Type about:config in the address bar.
    * Use the filter to find '''dom.disable_open_during_load''' and set it to false.

  • How can I turn off the native support for .ogg files in Firefox 6?

    Duplicate of [/questions/877892]
    I want to install an external application to play this kind of file but I don't see any clear way to do it. Firefox does not ask me how I want to treat the .ogg file so I have no way to install a helper until I have turned off the native support.

  • How do i turn off Mobile Me sync? It paralyzes my machine!

    I no longer have my MobileMe account, but the MobileMe sync icon is still at the top right of my screen and periodically tries to identify sync conflicts (it says there are 24) and then totally slows down my machine to a crawl and the spinning wheel spins whenever I hover my mouse over the dialogue screen. Even if I hit review, it goes super slow.  I just want it to go away.  How do I make that happen?  I have an ca. 2008-early 09 iMac with 2.8 Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM... Thanks for any help you can give me!

    You're right - it didn't stop it from re-ocurring and the icon actually reappear - I then dumped it onto the desktop again and it is gone again for now... does anyone have insight into how to just remove all memory of MobileMe from my machine?  I don't even know what it's trying to sync with anymore - I stopped using it a couple years ago when Apple phased it out, and the syncing never worked very well anyways.... apparently even Steve Jobs recognized, admitted, and was frustrated by that and that's why it went away and iCloud came in... sigh... I love my Apple products, including my iMac, it just would be great if I could get rid of this...  any additional help from anyone would be much appreciated!

  • My wifi is down currently. How can I turn off match and sync the 'old fashioned way'

    Hi guys.
    My home network is down right now and I want to be able to sync 'old school' with the cable but when I plug it in syncing options are not available. I'm guessing I should temporarily disable match on my pc and iPhone? If so how do I go about that?
    Thanks.

  • HP ProBook 6460b: How do I turn off/disable trackpad clicking?

    I originally asked this question here:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2628935/laptop-turn-disable-clicking-touchpad.html
    There was one response:
    "There should be a Synaptics icon in the taskbar or the bottom right of the screen. Go there and from there you should be able to disable clicking on the track-pad hopefully. It should work although I never used HP, always used Dell.  "
    I couldn't find any icon. I need help with this.
    Thanks in advanace for any help

    Hi,
    Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your Touchpad driver ( probably Synaptics, but could be Alps depending on your specific Model ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7
    Recovery Manager - Windows Vista
    After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook, let Windows fully reload and then see if double-tapping the top left corner of the pad will now enable/disable it.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • How do I turn off the Safari syncing function when syncing my iPod Touch to iTunes

        I can't seem to find a way to continue to sync my iPod Touch to my Mac without it automatically syncing over the iPod's Safari bookmarks to my Safari on the computer.
