I want to disable firefox

I share a macbook pro with my wife.
She works with an IT guy who has set up her system to automatically open to the email and other functions she uses each day.
Some how we ended up on Firefox and its very confusing.
We want to disable firefox so the computer opens in another browser.

I want to disable Firefox as my browser.

I want to disable Firefox as my browser/server.

Hello,
I understand you want Firefox not to be your default browser.
Quickest way is to install a new browser (eg. Chrome, IE9) at the end of installation you are asked to make this new browser as default, just accept.
Hope that helped,

I want to disable firefox sync using lockpref

how do i lock the firefox sync using lockpref?
do you have a good recommendation for reference to lock down firefox option?

Try to lock the server URL (services.sync.serverURL) and other Sync URLs to empty strings. 
Then it is impossible to connect to the server.

I want to disable the feature that goes to the last site looked at when I click open Firefox from my desktop.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 on my two laptops, but I'm only having this problem with one of them. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, it immediately takes me to the last site I was on. I want to disable this feature so that it goes right to my homepage.

# Open the options window and go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

I want to disable plugins, which i can do through add-ons manager, but every time i restart firefox they are enabled again

When i disable plugins firefox runs faster. I could uninstall the plugins, but i periodically want to use them. I have tried using click to play but i want some plugins to run automatically.
I want to disable selective plugins and have some enabled. When i do this via add-ons manager, all plugins are enable on restarting firefox.

i don't use any cleanup tools & MSE is my security software, which is rather unobtrusive and shouldn't interfere here...
i currently have one blocklisted plugin (see screenshot), but if i remember it correctly the problem was already present in my case before i had the outdated acrobat plugin installed.
sometimes when you enable/disable a plugin in the addons manager & press f5 afterwards, it immediately switches back to its old state/sometimes it will stay on the new state until a restart of the browser & in some cases it will remember the state even across sessions - it's just not working reliably in any way.
as far as i can observe the pluginreg.dat file in my profile folder the change of a plugin's state isn't written to the file as soon as it's toggled in the UI during a session, but only when the browser is getting closed - so the information has to be in the memory somewhere before and might be getting corrupted. i suspect it might be a general bug but i cannot reproduce it reliably .

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem.

I want to disable "restore previous session" and enable "History record" at the same time.

I want to disable "restore previous session" and enable "History record" at the same time.
Because I don't want others to access my account such as "Gmail", "Facebook". But I want firefox to record my browsing history.
What should I do?

I managed to remove the "Restore Previous Session" button from the home page by changing my default home page with this : www.google.com/firefox/ (the default home page from the previous versions of Firefox). It worked for me, I hope it works for you too.

How to disable Firefox's newly default Plugin Activation checker in FF 25?

I upgraded my Firefox to 25, from 24 I'm getting problem regarding installation of any add on. Every time I start Firefox it notify me to install the disabled plugin. I allow installation, and then restart FF, but it still stay opened and open a new tab for the same prompt. It's not just annoying, but it's not installing the add on into my FF.
I just want to DISABLE (by unchecking or sth.) the default feature into my FF.
I'm a developer and aware enough what add on is running behind the scene and how to remove them.

Which plugin(s) is/are involved in this alert?
Just to be sure: do you mean extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or plugins (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) as those are different add-ons?
In case of extensions, you can check for problems with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

I want to disable Private Browsing ,but under Safari there is no such application. Where do I find it or is ther a different application I have an Apple iphone 4

I want to disable Private Browsing which should appear under Safari ,but there is no such application. I have an iphone 4 Apple. Is there an alternative way to disable

You can set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue

When uploading firefox on my computer, I have a black window. The upload seems fine until I want to open firefox

I wanted to update firefox. Followed the prompt and end up with a black window. Unistalled firefox, and reinstalled firefox and now I have a black window everytime I open Firefox. What should I do?

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, start firefox into safemode by pressing the shift key while the application is launching & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

How can I disable firefox on macbook pro

I want to disable fireox or uninstall it. How do I accomplish one of these tasks?

I don't think it's Firefox that's the issue, rather your Library file that contains the instructions which browser is your preferred one to launch.
No browser should erupt in the middle of PhotoShop, InDesign or Word unless there is some sort of background upgrade process or a link you clicked in those programs that reqiure the browser (any browser) to launch.
If it does, then it's just going to bring Safari into your face just like Firefox.
I think you need to look into the possibility something is further wrong with your machine, I suspect perhaps you may have accidentially installed a adware trojan and/or perhaps one of your preference (.plist) files in your Library (hidden) is corrupted.

Firefox works extremely well and very user friendly, it's quite frankly the best browser, the most customizable, the most add-ons and themes and is the fastest one if you know how to tweak it.

I want to access my acount but it will not recognize my email or password. I am having problems seeing pictures and plugins on Firefoz and wanted to disable some addions and se if this would help the problem

I cannot see many pictures on my start page. On my eBay page I cannot see most pictures and my plugin for signing in on my eBay page are missing.
I wanted to disable some Firefox Add On's and see if this would help.
I have no problems with Explorer but I prefer to use Firefox.

When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it.
