How to stop: "Sure you want to use Firefox?" message

On my new mac with 10.5, I downloaded Firefox using Safari. Now every time I start Firefox I get a message asking if I want to use it since it was downloaded from the Internet. How do I shut that message off?

Are you sure you've installed it properly? When you first download Firefox, it will appear in a disk image on your desktop. Make sure you drag the enclosed application (the Firefox program itself) into your main Applications folder. Then eject the disk image, and launch Firefox from the Applications folder. You might see that message one more time, but on subsequent launches, you shouldn't.

  • "Are you sure you want to open 10 messages?" warning

    When I highlight >10 messages to open at once, I get a warning to the effect of "Are you sure you want to open ## messages?" This is annoying, because I obviously highlighted >10 messages, and of course I want to open them all at once. My question is, is there a Terminal command that can turn off this annoying warning?
    Thank you

  • The "Are you sure you want to shut down" message comes on if i dont touch the Maxbook for one minute? please help!!!

    If i leave my macbook inactive for around a minute the message "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer?" appears and gives me the usual options of cancel, log off, sleep and shut down. This happens even i am running a full screen programme or watching something online.
    I have tried going through system preferences and changing things such as the energy saver preferences and nothing seems to work. Please help.

    Check this or maybe the coffee has finally taken it's toll and you might want to take ot in to Apple.

  • How to stop "do you want to sign in to itunes" message

    Hello All. I recently purchased a new iphone 5s and really like it.
    One thing i don't like is the "do you want to sign in to itunes" message it gives me every day when i first turn it on.
    I know its a small thing but is there anyway to stop this message?
    Thanks for your time.

    I finally got an answer for this when i visited my local Apple store.
    A sales ladie showed me how to get rid of the message.
    (1) go to Settings and select " iTunes & App Store"
    (2) at the " Show all store purchases and iTune Match uploads."  set Music (off) and Videos (off)
    That's it. Your phone will not ask you to sign in to iTunes every time you first power it on now.
    She told me it's a commericial thing. The defaults are set to steer you to the Stores in the hope that you'll buy something.

  • How can I stop "do you want to allow Firefox to make changes to your computer"?

    I started to download Firefox 4 and don't think it finished. Just downloaded 3.16.6 again, but when I open Firefox it always says "do you want firefox to make changes to your computer. Do I have to delete something and start over?

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />

  • HELP!!!  Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?)  How do I get this to stop?

    I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor.  Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button.  How do I get this to stop?  Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
    Thank You

    This was extremely annoying for me, also.  I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem.  It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom.  Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem.  Itunes also boots up way quicker.  But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc.   For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them.  Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem.  They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
    Side note: the Broadcom package is huge...  nearly 1GB in size.  Which is crazy.  I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it.  Entire operating systems can take up less storage.  Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

  • 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 stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

    I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

    You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
    What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
    techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
    is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
    like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
    But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
    and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
    done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
    software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
    and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
    anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
    these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?

  • How can I stop the "Are you sure you want to close this window?" box?

    Hello,
    Could someone please tell me how to stop safari/google from warning when there is text written in the search query box of google and I try to close the window? The message runs as follow: "*Are you sure you want to close this window?* You have entered text on "Google". If you close this window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close this window anyway?"
    I'm using Safari 3.2 and I have my preferences set to open new links in new windows rather than in tabs. I did try unchecking the warning message for closing multiple tabs, despite the fact that I'm not using tabs. However, that didn't work.
    Thanks in Advance

    I would have to say it's a bug in Safari 3.x, as it apparently worked in Safari 2.x. I'm sure a bug report has already been filed on this, but if you want to give feedback to Apple about it and encourage them to fix it sooner rather than later, use this Feedback link.

    Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
    You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
    Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

  • How do I avoid closing out all my tabs by accident? a box used to come up asking "are you sure you want to close all tabs". Now I click on the X and it automatically closes all my open tabs.

    Sometimes I, by accident, click on the X and close out ALL of my tabs that were open. A box used to come up asking "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE ALL TABS?" Now, it just closes them all and I lose all my tabs that I had open. Is there a way to fix that?

    You can set the warn prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to <b>true</b> via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

  • 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.''
