How to deploy popup blocker allowed sites settings to multiple computers?

We are running on Win 7 Platform with Firefox ESR version 31.4.0. We want to disable popup blocker for certain sites. I tried to use FirefoxADM_0.5.9.4 to apply the settings through group policy but that did not work. When I look at the firefox_login.vbs file, there is a line mentioning registry setting FirefoxPopupsWhitelistKey = WshShell.regread("HKCU\Software\Policies\Firefox\FirefoxPopupWhitelist") but I cannot find that key on the computer.
Does anyone has experience deploying this type of settings? If not, I am also open to hear about disabling completely popup blocker.
if this cannot be done through group policy, please let me know other way that I can do this. I read through the about:config configuration but I did not find any settings to disable the popup.
Thanks for your help.

Firefox stores all exceptions in the permissions.sqlite file, so you would have to use an SQLite Manager extension or program to modify this database.
Disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox would be easier as that would only require to toggle a pref and that can be done via a mozilla.cfg file.
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I prevent mackeeper and zillions of other popups? I have popups blocked in my settings and don't have mac keeper as an application. Thanks!

My MacBook Air (OS Yosemite 10.10.1) is overwhelmed with popups. Mackeeper is the most offensive, but there are others as well. I have popups blocked in my settings and do not have Mackeeper in my applications.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

How to prevent a solaris user to telnet from multiple computers

Hello,
How to prevent Solaris users to telnet from multiple computers? They should be able to telnet from only one PC.
Please help..

ora_tech have a good point, i was about to suggest ipfilter, which is a built-in-firewall in Solaris, but using tcp wrappers would probably be easier. It all depends on which level of security you want (blocking the telnet requests in a firewall would generally be safer than blocking them at the tcp wrapper level, since its prevents some processing).
Since Solaris 10 you can also easily enable tcp wrappers on the inetd services with inetadm, see:

How do I sync photos onto my ipad from multiple computers?

My dad just got an ipad and we're trying to sync pictures from multiple computers. He's already synced pictures from his computer. But there are some pictures on my computer that he wants too. Every time I try to sync photos from my comptuer to his ipad, a menu pops up and asks if I want to replace his existing photos. I don't want to replace his photos with my photos. I just simply want to add to his collection of photos.
Of course I can always transfer photos on my computer onto a flash drive and upload it onto his computer. But I want to know if there is a way where I can sync photos from multiple computers onto his ipad without replacing his original pictures.. (and without using a flash drive or emailing pictures)
Thanks

Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad - so you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go. There are third-party apps for the iPad such as Simple Transfer that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad via your wifi network, but they will just go into the Saved Photo/Camera Roll album on the iPad - though with iOS 5 in the Autumn you will then be able to move photos between albums on the iPad

How do I pass Solid Edge- SAP configs on multiple computers

Hello All,
How do I pass the 'User/System preferences -configs I did on Solid Edge side' on multiple computers on which I am installing the SE-SAP interface. Do I have to go to each machine, open the user/system preferences and then check the boxes, which I did while prototyping.
How can this process be automated.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin
Goto Link Log
and press SAVE button in right bottom corner
choose REG file option and export the entries

How to deploy popup exceptions to my organization.

I am looking for a way to add firefox popup exceptions to all users in my organization through a batch job or some other method conducive to a mass deployment. We are limited to using firefox 29.0.1. One headache we are running in to is that our users are not stationary and may move around from computer to computer and may have multiple firefox profiles on a PC, or may move to a PC that they have no firefox profile on. Thank you for helping!

It is possible to lock prefernces and lock the profile file that holds the exceptions.

HOW TO SEE iWEB SITE PAGES FROM MULTIPLE COMPUTERS

Is there any way I can sync my iWEB so that the pages so that what I start at work can be finished on my home computer?

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html
files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is
stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb
folder.
Actually, now with iWeb having been updated a couple times.... you can have your Domain.sites file anywhere on your harddrive. I am working on several websites, none of which go to dotMac. I set up a project folder for each client, and his/her Domain.sites file is in that folder. All folders are kept in a WIPs folder, (Work In Progress), on my desktop.

Replicating settings across multiple computers

I am deploying CS6 Design Standard over to about 200 workstations and I need to be able to replicate the same color settings, same workspaces, general settings to all of them.
Does anyone has a list of files containing these settings that need to be copied over?
It looks like the list has slightly changed from the previous CS suites and I am having a bit of a hard time identifying all of them.
Thank you much.

Hi Cserban3 - wish that I were posting a solution for you, but am unfortunately in the same boat. I've been trying to find an answer to the same question, and have had no luck thus far. Sounds like you had a solution for prior CS editions - would you mind sharing what you used to do? Perhaps it could give me something to work from...
Thanks!

How can I see up AppStore/Software Updates for multiple computers using the same account?

I have several computers in my household which all use the same App Store account for purchases & software updates. How can I view all those installs while not being in front of all computers?
Recently an iMac crashed from a software update. I want to see what installed & crashed it.

Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.

How does Time Capsule handle the same files on multiple computers?

I'm a writer who works on my MacBook Pro, the family's desktop PC and soon hope to have my own Apple desktop.
Is it possible to have the most current document(s) available no matter which machine I'm on?
Does Time Capsule go to each computer, find the most recent version and back it up?
Does it even work with PCs?

Is it possible to have the most current document(s) available no matter which machine I'm on?
Sorry, but no.
Does Time Capsule go to each computer, find the most recent version and back it up?
Time Machine will backup any changes to each Mac hourly
Does it even work with PCs?
Only if you manually drag/drop or copy/paste PC files to the Time Capsule drive

Where does a sharepoint admin find the site settings for a mysite site collection?

We are using sp 2010 service pack 2.
When I look at another user's mysite, logged in as an admin (spsadmin2 is my daily admin type account), I don't seem to have access to the site settings.
However, if I log in as the fundamental farm admin account (spfarm), I do see the site settings drop down.
The site settings I see are not the site settings for a specific user's site collection. It is, instead, the settings for "mysites" in general.
So, how can I look at the site settings for a specific user's site collection?
I wanted to be able to look at their site collection recycle bin to see if something deleted was still there.
Thank you!

So, our mysites are associated with a web application separate from our other sharepoint sites.
The mysites root site collection has our SharePoint admins listed as full control owners.
The SharePoint admins also are listed as Farm admins.
Because there is only 1 secondary site collection owner permitted, if that is the means by which someone gets access to the site collection settings and permissions, then it seems like we would have to keep changing the secondary owner quite frequently.
You mentioned being able to set permissions on "the group" to have rights.
Which group? The Personal Sites Owners group of our mysites web app? Or another group?
Thank you for your help!

How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
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.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.
