How to turn off run as administrator in firefox

Hello, I started firefox 3.6.13 as administrator to uninstall old java/adobe versions, which I did however after a restart of computer/firefox is running with adnistrator's rights how do I turn this off? I'm using windows xp. thanks greg I tried right click there isn't a option to disable

Might be. If you only use one account, and you can install software, you are an admin.
At this point it might be worth uninstalling, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3, and I'd recommend doing a clean boot to reinstall: How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

  • How to turn off Quick time plugin in Firefox.

    Be peace and happiness upon you!
    Under Windows XP Home SP2, I recently updated to Firefox 2.0.0.4 and QuickTime 7 seems to crash Firefox 2.0.0.4 every time a flash is loaded into a page.
    So I was wondering if there was a way to turn QuickTime off in Firefox 2.0.0.4.
    I have observed that without flash installed, all goes well. But I do need Flash.
    I will be using Safari and QuickTime together but for Firefox 2.0.0.4 I don't want QuickTime plugin installed.
    In about:config there is a preference known as plugin.scan.Quicktime with value of five. Should I change the value and what to?
    Thanks,
    Fahad.

    I'd like to do this too.  That is, I'd like to see the "bars" but not the time since the time is messed up.
    But I don't find "System Preferences -> Wi-Fi".  However, I find "System Preferences -> Network" and in that I see a "Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar" that I can click on and off.
    However, when I click it off, both the time connected and the "bars" are gone.  I don't see any option to show one and not the other, it seems to be both or neither.
    I also found that clicking on the time sometimes (and sometimes not) gives me a menu that seems to let me turn on and off the "time connected" part, but turning it off seems to have no affect.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

  • How to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

    how to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

    Most apps do not run in the background on an iPad. Their stae is kept in memory so that when you start the app again it will load quickly at the location you last used it. But you can remove these apps from the Recently Used list. Here's how:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Some apps do refresh in the background if you have that Setting turned on. You can control apps there individually or turn off Back Ground App Refresh completely in the Settings App.

    How to turn off programs running in the background withiOS7?

    I would just add that it is not necessary. The programs referred to are only the recently used programs, and are not "running in the background" with the sometimes exception of GPS apps and music apps. They are simply dormant in the memory. The operating system will remove these programs if the space is required.

  • What does this mean, " Web service is turned off. An administrator can turn it on using the Server application?"

    I'm attempting to connect to a website I've being using for 5 years plus. Now Firefox reports that the certificate is improper, and the message, " Web service is turned off. An administrator can turn it on using the Server application.", is given.
    I don't know what to do with this information. Web service is on for other websites. What is the "server application?" How can I take control and connect? I am the administrator.

    I cannot replicate on another browser. In fact, I now cannot replicate on my Firefox browser. I can only assume that the certificate problem was taken care of by the website involved. But in case this problem returns, I wonder what server application I am to use in order to turn my (?) web service on?
    Cryptic, unexplained error messages are a pet peeve of mine. It seems that Microsoft does not have a lock on such frustrating messages.

  • How to turn off item

    Does anyone know how to turn off iTunesHelper.exe using version 8 of iTunes?

    Stubchain is correct, just watch out what else you turn off. The main rule for turning off applications using the msconfig command is if you don't know what the process is, leave is running. If you are unsure what will happen if you uncheck multiple processes. Turn off one at a time and restart windows. This way if something going wrong you know which process caused it and you will be able to boot up in safe mode to fix it.

  • How complitely turn off computer?

    How complitely turn off computer?

    Are you talking about where it shuts itself down after going through the shutdown routine?  If it's not doing it automatically when you issue a "shutdown -r now" (or the like) then it's probably an issue with power management.  There's a few ways to tackle that.  Either use APM or ACPI.  ACPI tends not to work all that great on computers that have really old bios.  In that case it's better to utilize APM.  Probably your issue is that the your system may not support ACPI very well or even at all.  However, it may support it, but the kernel is turning it off by default from detecting your BIOS being dated beyond a certain point in time.  They did that to error on the side of caution.  They opted to choose a conservative default assumption since it makes more sense in that at least most systems will be able to boot up without any problems by default.
    My computer used to be able to shutdown automatically through the use of APM, but not ACPI (ran into this issue when I upgraded my kernel from 2.4 series to 2.6 series back when I ran with Debian), but I ended updating it's BIOS and it worked fine with ACPI from there on.  My system is pretty old too, so it doesn't completely implement ACPI.  I think it's laptops that tend to make fuller use of ACPI anyway.  However, it seems like most desktops with the last 8 or so years make some minimal use of it at least.  So you can see there is many ways to approach this issue. 
    First thing to try is to look around in your BIOS setup to see if there is any ACPI related setting, like mentioned earlier.  That's a good place to start.  If you don't see any settings, it either means that your BIOS setup either don't allow you to set ACPI, doesn't support it, or just the current version of your BIOS doesn't allow changing related settings or make use of it.  So naturally, the next thing to check is the manufacturer's sight for your motherboard and find any BIOS related info.
    Upgrading the BIOS is probably the most elegent solution but it can be openning up a whole can worms if you don't know what you're doing.  If you botch flashing the BIOS you run the risk of turning your motherboard into a paper weight.  So the key there is make sure you at least read your manufacturer's instructions carefully and also make sure that your use the right utils and BIOS version for your BIOS and motherboard.  And don't dare have a power failure or shut the system off while it's rewriting the boot block.  That where people run into a serious problem of rendering their system completely unbootable since the system no longer has the most basic of code needed to even get the system to a state that it can even begin bootstrapping.  Technically, the motherboard isn't probably trashed, but at that point you have a chicken before the egg syndrome going on.  You can't get it to boot far enough to boot to anything, much less a floppy, to be able to reflash the bios to get yourself out of the pickle.  So when, and if that sort of thing happens, then it would require replacing the BIOS chip itself which may or may not require soldering. 
    Anyway, don't let that scare you, it's just to point out that when you're doing things like flashing a system's BIOS it's critical  to do it right since it's modifying the system on such a fundimental low-level.  If that part of the system isn't functional, everything else, like HD and floppy being able to load anything, is a moot point.
    If all of that stuff makes you uncomfortable, you may opt to utilize APM instead.  I can't remember exactly how to instruct the kernel to use APM instead of ACPI.  I believe there is kernel parameter you can set in your bootloader's settings.  I can't remember it off hand.  Sorry.
