How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?
Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.
See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored
please do not comment in bug reports

Why does firefox want to use different fonts on mounted hard drives
On Mac OS 10.6.5 using Firefox 3.6.12 upon opening Firefox, I get a dialog box that says "Firefox want to use the font "TremorlTC TT" on the volume "USB BU".
This happens for both of my external hard drives. It gives me the options: Show in Finder Don't Allow or Allow. I have tried all 3 and neither solves the problem.Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts:
# Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
# Open Font Book > Preferences
# Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
# Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to Computer
# Select all User fonts.
# Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
# Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts -
Underneath this alert it says:
"This font is not installed. Allow Firefox.app to use this font?"
How can it use this font when it is not installed?
Why does it have to keep asking me no matter how many times I push Allow or Don't Allow?You're welcome and thanks for confirming that the instructions worked.

How to stop a pop up window if the session expires
Hi
I have a situation wherein i have my jsp page. in that i have a button on clicking it a pop up window will open to take a input parameter.
Now what we want is that if the session is not valid than the pop up shud not open.
Currrently what is happening wen the session is not valid the popup gets open and in that popup a login page is coming.
The logic for pop has been put in a javascript code which gets executed when the page was first loaded . So even if i put a logic for checking the session before the popup opens it wont work. So what can be a possible way i can do it?
I am writing a scriptlet to check the logic for valid session.
function changeLimitFunc(count)
<% if ((request.getSession(false)== null)) {%>
return false;
<%}
else {%>
popUp('');
openedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
openedForm.submit();
<%}%>
and in the page which geot loaded the same code appears like
function changeLimitFunc(count)
popUp('');
openedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
openedForm.submit();
this popUp is amethod where we are createing our popup.
please help me out to resolve itI have written this javascript code to block the popup
function changeLimitFuncUnopened()
if (checkIfValidSession()) {
popUp('');
unopenedForm.target = 'change_download_limit';
unopenedForm.submit();
else {
return false;
function checkIfValidSession() {
<% HttpSession httpSession = request.getSession(); %>
var lastAccessTime = <%= httpSession.getLastAccessedTime() %> ;
var maxInactiveTime = <%= httpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval() %> ;
var date = new Date();
var time = date.getTime();
if( (maxInactiveTime > 0) && ((time - lastAccessTime) > (maxInactiveTime * 1000))) {
alert("Session TimedOut. Please Re-login!!!");
return false;
else {
alert("inside else true shud go");
return true;
The code is working fine and blocking the popup. But I am not sure if this will be a correct fix. -
This is actually a workaround answer for the question at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943960 , which has been archived.
This problem persists for me in FF 27.0.1. The source of the problem can be found in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358297 which Mozilla seems to think has been fixed.
Basically, the MS xps reader program thinks it needs to open MS Internet Explorer, but it does this by opening the default browser, which for us is probably FF.
Here is the workaround:
If you want to open an xps file in ms windows:
* First right click on the file in ms explorer to get the context menu.
* Choose "Open with" > "Choose program"
* Instead of the default choices (if any) offered, choose "Internet explorer"
* ALSO, check the check box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
This will make Windows go straight to IE, which works for me. However, you will still have to have the underlying handler installed, presumably.1. "this is a really really old version of Firefox" Really? FF 27.0.1 is really old? It's the latest version as of today. Read my post more carefully.
2. The bug was updated relatively recently by someone else, who was told to file a different bug. I do not have time to refile bugs that other people have already filed and updated. Among other things, I will be told to install the latest build and see if the bug persists.
3. The purpose of my post here was to help others who might have the same problem.
4. If you "have no idea", why did you feel the need to respond? I would rather hear responses from those who have some idea. -
How do I open a new window in Adobe Acrobat using the plugin sdk
I would like to create a new menu item that when clicked it will open a new window (e.g. winform). What I'd like to do is pull data from a server and interact with the user in that window. Basically show the user a list of PDF files to pull from the server. Once the user is done selecting which file to pull to have the file pulled from the server into the local drive and have it opened in Adobe Acrobat. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to invoke a winform or something like it to place my lists of files and UI controls. I've looked at the samples in the SDK and don't see anything that deals with this particular issue. I'm a newbie so I'm sure I'm missing something here. I tried creating a new WinForm in a sample example and ran into errors and the form is not functioning. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you Dan_Korn,
This suggestion is very helpful. I like the idea of creating the new functionality in the language/environment of my choice and simply call it from the plugin. The only issue I have is that when I start the other gui app from within the plugin I don't know how to communicate with it. I would like to do these things with it:
1. For the spawned off app to be able to tell Adobe Acrobat to open a file in a certain location.
2. For the spawned off app to exit if Adobe Acrobat is closed.
3. Also if the spawned off app closes for the handles to it to be desposed of and cleaned up to avoid leaks.
Any ideas on the easiest approach to the above behaviors?
Here's my code so far in the plugin:
void StartApp1()
STARTUPINFO info={sizeof(info)};
PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
if (CreateProcess(NULL , "myexe.exe", NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL, NULL, &info, &processInfo))
::WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, 0);
CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);
CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
else {
AVAlertNote("Couldn't luanch the exe"); -

How can I stop pop ups apprering every time I use the mouse on-line. have I clicked on something wrongly??
You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat. -
Hey people please help me with my problem.
I purchased a VIP subscription for a week in starmakerstudios karaoke. I don't know how to stop auto renewal. Even though I have deleted the app, I'm still being charged $1.99 a week!
Please help me out...Hi Gerald,
Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance. -

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.
All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself. -
I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?
A couple of methods.
The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords. -
Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.
How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device form the previous users account?
Thanks.Without the previous user's ID and password, or getting him to remove the phone from his list of devices, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for this and certainly where individuals are concerned Apple cannot help.
I have seen a suggestion that Apple may be willing to do this in a corporate situation like the one you are in, but I've seen no confirmation of this. You have nothing to lose by contacting Apple and asking, but don't be surprised if you are told it can't be done. This is a security device and if it was possible to bypass it there would be no point in having it in the first place.
