Is it possible to disable auto-update to E10S in Nightly?

Whenever Nightly updates, it automatically updates me to E10S versions that become available. I don't want this feature, as all it has done so far is give me trouble with basic things like menus not working properly, etc. Is there a way to reset Nightly so that it does NOT automatically download E10S updates and only downloads stable non-E10S updates instead?
I need more control over what Nightly automatically updates itself to, and when! Is this possible whilst still getting the benefits from stable ready for release updates as they become verified and available?
I have noticed that the E10S checkbox in the options menu becomes checked, when I never even touched it, why is E10S enabled by default when it shouldn't be? Procedurally written update code shouldn't ever do this to their users and this needs fixing ASAP!

Hello,
the '''browser.tabs.remote.autostart''' prefs is already '''false''' in nightly
the '''browser.tabs.remote.autostart.disabled-because-using-a11y''' to '''true''' works fine :-), but not exist by default, '''you have to create the preference''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] (New > Boolean).
thanks

  • How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

    Hi Friends,
    I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash  Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled.  I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
    One more question...
    When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
    Tries from my end till now:
    I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
    Please help me...
    Regards,
    Dilip

    No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
    Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3.  Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

  • Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

    there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
    I only found instructions for CS5:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
    does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
    thanks.
    edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

    ... adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum...
    that is gone, thanks.

  • Disabling auto-update doesn't work

    I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
    In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
    Recommendations?

    As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
    It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
    I've been testing; here's what i discover.
    1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
    At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    2. now I exit FF.
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    3. i restart FF (#1)
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    4. i close FF
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    5. I restart FF (#2)
    NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
    Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
    Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    This is obnoxious.
    I expect better from Mozilla.
    Suggestions?

  • How to disable auto updates

    How does one disable "check for automatic updates" in Java 6, version 17? On the Update tab, the box is checked, but it is grayed out and won't let me un-select it.

  • Disable auto update

    Hi
    I have a couple of databases running on Azure SQL. They all are the Basis Edition.
    I'm experiencing that two of these databases keep being upgraded to Web Edition. When I scale them down to basis edition or even Standard S1 edition, one of them gets auto scaled to Web Edition.
    I don't know why this occours and I would like to have it stopped. I'm not sure as to whether there is a disable auto update functionality at manage.windowsazure.com. Neither am I sure if there is some setting in my ASP.NET Web.Config that will do the trick.
    Help would be appreaciated.

    Hi adksmm,
    Usually, in SQL Azure database platform, we can change service tiers using Azure Management Portal, PowerShell, or T-SQL statement, or REST API . If you want to modify a database via T-SQL statement in SQL
     Azure database, you must be connected to the master database to alter a database. If MAXSIZE is set to a value of 1 GB or 5 GB and EDITION is not specified, the database edition will automatically be set to Web Edition. For more information,
    see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff394109.aspx
    If you choose downgrade to a lower service tier via Azure Management Portal, you need to manually change the edition options, performance level via GUI. In addition, if you can write Azure PowerShell command to
    specify the service tier, the performance level, and the maximum size for the database. However, there is no auto update functionality or option for you disabling them at SQL Azure database platform. For more information about changing
    database service tiers and performance levels, you can revies the following article.

  • How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

    Hi,
    our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
    So they should not become the notification.
    How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

    Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
    Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
    Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
    Install Local content (See below)

  • Disable auto updated on Crystal Viewer 2011

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct board for this query, but there was nowhere else that looked appropriate.
    A client of ours has deployed Crystal Reports Viewer 2011 to a number of users on XP and Windows 7 laptops. She wants to disable the auto updates function within the viewer.
    In Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 this was possible with a registry edit, can anyone help with how it is achieved in the 2011 version of the viewer?
    thanks
    Keith

    Thread moved to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum
    In CR 2008, there was a registry key under Crystal Reports; DisableCheckForUpdates
    That key would disable the check for updates for the Crystal Reports Designer, but the "viewer" in .NET never checked for updates. E.g.; at runtime, there is no checking for updates.
    In CRVS2010, there is no "DisableCheckForUpdates" entry. And as with CR2008 installed runtime will not be checking for updates.

  • I use firefox portable and have disabled auto-update in Options, but it still automatically downloaded and installed version 16.0.2 from 14.0.1

    I use Firefox portable 14.0.1 and it was displaying you are on release update channel. Even with the auto-update option disabled, it updated to version 16.0.2 thus resulting in some of my add-ons not working.

  • Disable auto-update for SYSTEM on windows

    I wrote an AIR app that is called via a php 'exec' command for my employer. This is part of an automated system where there is no user interaction. The problem is that whenever the application is run, every now and then it will open the Adobe AIR Updater, expecting user input to allow the update or cancel.
    I downloaded the AIR Settings Manager app, and it does a great job of disabling this auto-update, but ONLY for the user running the app. Is there any way to disable the auto-updates for SYSTEM?

    Hi Ozzy,
    Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled to 1 will disable runtime updates for ALL users.  Adding the file%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled will disable updates on a PER user basis.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to really, really disable auto-update popups from flash player?

    I have here a serious problem under 64bit Win7.
    More and more frequently a popup appears prompting me (or even start download without prompt!!)if a new flash player should be installed.
    When I proceed it shows the progress bar and downloads the package and installation started until the "done" button is shown.
    Then I re-open Internet Explorer 9 again and re-vist the last webpage and ....the download starts again.
    This is really annoying.
    How do I really, really stop forever update prompts for flash player plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer?
    Peter

    Hi pxstein,
    Thanks for posting the screenshots, especially the one of the Process Explorer.  It indicates that this is not an auto-update install situation.  This type of installation is triggered via content on the page that requires a newer version of Flash Player (your screenshot indicates you have 11.8.800.94) and the content provider has decided to use this type of installation (we support several types that content providers can implement).  Since this type of installation is controlled by the content, there isn't a way to disable it.  Normally, IE displays a User Account Control dialog window or a dialog bar at the bottom of the page asking if you want to save/run the file.  I don't see these in your screenshots and you don't mention if they displayed or not.  If not, you may have disabled this warning at some point in time.
    Flash Player 11.8 is very old and very vulnerable to security issues and we've released many security updates since then.  My recommendation is to update Flash Player to the latest version, 15.0.0.167 for Internet Explorer (15.0.0.152 for non-IE browsers on Windows).  If you don't want the latest features available in Flash Player 15, you can install what we refer to as the Extended Support Release (ESR) version.  This is a previous stable version that we only release security updates for.  Currently this is 13.0.0.244 for both Internet Explorer and non-IE browsers on Windows.
    To download the latest version, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Internet Explorer
    To download the ESR version, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe.  The links to download the FP 13 ESR version are at the bottom of the page.

  • How to disable auto update for corporate installation

    I've scoured the forums for this information and was not successful locating a viable answer.
    We need to update 1500 corporate clients to the latest version of QT, but we need the auto update feature turned off when the upgrade is complete. We do this for two reasons: 1) Users do not have permissions to run the installer, so even if they wanted to run the update they would be unsuccessful, and 2) we need to test any updates before they are distributed to the general population.
    For past versions we created a QTP file with the auto update turned off, then placed it into the C:\documents and settings\all users\application date\apple computer\quicktime folder. This method is no longer successful.
    Changing the settings for each individual user is not an option, we need a method that will change the setting for any past, current, or future user on all of our computers.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

  • How can I disable auto-update/save when editing a Bump/Specular/Normal map in 3D?

    Im working on a rather large comp, and while triyng to paint on my bump material PSB, the auto-save/update feature is really making the process painstakingly antagonizing. Is there any way to disable this? Note, I am not referring to the general auto-save, this is only in regards to 3D material editing.

    If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
    You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
    Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
    I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature.  Where do you see your layer being saved?

  • UCCX 8.0 CAD: Can you disable auto update? Error: "unable to download file" Could not open request.

    I have a UCCX 8.0 (2) Installed.
    Users here have limited access via proxy. Now everytime i try to run the CAD or CSD, i get the error:
    "unable to download file" Could not open request.
    It seems to want to install or check for an update.
    The work around i have found is to go to the CAD directory and change the update.exe filename
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CAD\bin\update.exe
    i dont want to have to do this for every user as i possibly want the update.
    Is there a way to allow or bypass proxy on CAD?
    Regards
    J

    I had this problem before - to resolve it I disabled the proxy in internet explorer settings.
    You'll need to make sure the CAD version matches your UCCX server version. Otherwise you may run in to issues.

  • Is it possible to disable auto fill in address field?

    I need to disable the auto fill function in the address field. Is this possible?

    Hi Joe
    There's no way to disable the URL. Trashing the History (User Account>Library>Safari folder) and Metadata files (User Account>Library>Cache>Metadata and Safari folders) minimizes the prompts. Purging all Bookmarks helps too. However, the actual function of the prompts is built into the application's software, so it simply starts to rebuild the prompts again.
    If you don't want to see prompts, simply press the space-bar once before entering a URL. That's the only work-around. If you don't want Safari to record your browsing activity, select "Private Browsing" in the Safari Menu each time you open Safari.
