How to permanently disable click-to-run "feature" on all plug-ins

How can I permanently disable the click-to-run "feature" for all plug-ins *including* ones that are unsafe, exploitable, etc.?
I know that this is "unsafe", "inadvisable", a "security risk", etc. however this question has been asked many times and I have not yet found an answer. My reason for wanting to do so is not important and there is no point in questioning it; this is a simple question with what should be a simple answer, and does not require the bickering and arguing that always ensues when someone asks this extraordinarily basic question.
I want to permanently disable any and all forms of click-to-run for any and all plugins, so that all plugins run without having to be clicked first and show absolutely no warnings whatsoever of any kind. If I don't want to run a plug-in I will disable it.
How can I do this very simply thing?

Some outdated plugins (e.g. Flash plugins) are blocked via click-to-play and can be enabled when required.<br />
It is best to update such a plugin to the latest version to be protected against security vulnerabilities.
You would have to disable blocklisting to circumvent this and that is not recommended.

How to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?

Hi,
I have disabled the local TimeMachine using:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
That all works fine but after a reboot, the local backups are back again. For some reason this setting doesn't survives a reboot.
Can nayone give me some advise on how to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?
Dennis

Here's how I permanently disable TM local snapshots:
1. create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/willf/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh</string>
    </array>
    <key>WatchPaths</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>
2. create a shell script ~/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh:
#!/bin/ksh -p
# This script is supposed to be run via launchd (see
# ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist) when launchd
# detects a change to the TimeMachine.plist file. This script will determine
# if TM local snapshots has been enabled via the MobileBackups property and if
# it has it will run the setuid disable_tmlsnaps binary.
# prevent launchd throttling respawn warning, must wait 10s before this script exits
sleep 10
integer lsnaps=-1
lsnaps=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist MobileBackups)
if [[ $lsnaps -eq 1 ]]
then
    exec "${HOME}/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps"
elif [[ $lsnaps -eq -1 ]]
then
    # there was an error running defaults
    exit 1
else
    exit 0
fi
3. Lastly compiled this C program and named it ~/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps. I set the permissions so it was owned by root and setuid:
* To build: gcc -o disable_tmlsnaps disable_tmlsnaps.c
* sudo chown root:wheel disable_tmlsnaps
* sudo chmod u+s disable_tmlsnaps
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
    int rc;
    rc = setuid(0);
    if (rc == 0)
        rc = system("/usr/bin/tmutil disablelocal");
    return rc;
=================================================================
Now when /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist is modified (which happens when TM is enabled or disabled) launched will run my disable_tmlsnaps.ksh script which will check to see if it needs to disable TM local snapshots.

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode. My DVD player and TV do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv? BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

My AppleTV keeps dimming as if it is in energy saving mode. My TV and DVD/Netflix player do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature in AppleTV? BTW: This is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

How do I disable the itunes auto-update for all users?

I need to know if there is a way to disable the auto-update feature for all users that login to a windows XP computer.
I have disabled it for the account currently logged in as well as copy that user profile to the "default user" profile. However I have about 300 users that do not have admin rights that still get prompted to install updates.
Is there a way to disable the auto update as the default for all users. So that only I get the auto update notifications?

Does no one else run a network where users don't have admin rights?

After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

I have been using aurora and updated to 12.0a2 and my computer continually freezes even after disabling all plug-ins and i have even dumped stuff from the memory on my hard drive.

i continually get the same 12.0a2 update box that pops up in the bottom right corner even though i have the updated version and i have to wait for the aurora updater to do something everytime i start a new session. i went through and disabled all plug-ins and have no extensions active and this doesn't solve the problem. according to plug-in check all plug-ins are up to date. aurora does crash every once in a while where it closes out all my windows...but i do not get the crash report anymore to report it. is there a problem with aurora? i even updated FF in case that had a factor in the crashes/freezes!! FF used to do this same thing all the timea fter a new update but this is ridiculous!! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? typos courtesy of freezing!!!is there a problem with aurora? i can't go more than 2 minutes without constant freezing and the "not responding" message. i have run scans on my computer weekly since i updated to aurora and there is no threats/problems...why does this keep happening?
addendum...i have added the crash reports for the last week...does that give any insight into why this keeps happening?

i am not sure what this means? "not for public use"? i did not seek out another version of FF it was an option on mozilla's page when i needed to update FF!! i know that i will run into these problems if i do not keep current and it was an option so i chose it. are you suggesting that i dump aurora from my system and go back to using just FF? i'm not a developer or know anything deep regarding the physical or logical of systems...i am just trying to keep good maintenance on my system!! i need a browser that works with me and not against me...chrome does not do what i need...neither does opera...FF is the only browser that i have used for almost 4 years now and i don't plan on going back to IE or changing to those mentioned above...i just want to know that when i see new offerings on mozilla products and i accept them into my system that they work much better than what i am experiencing currently!! i get that it is open-sourced and therefore a work in progress
