Is it possible to switch off all addons by default when starting firefox?

Firefox often runs quite slowly but resetting appears to solve the problem. I tried to identify any problmatic addon but was unsuccessful

Not really. You can start Firefox in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?esab=a&s=Safe+Mode&r=1&as=s SafeMode], but you would need to restart Firefox to enable your addons.

  • Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage

    Dear Support,
    Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage. I would like to switch this functionality off, because the key is malfunctioned and always pressed. I was able to switch off the functionality of this key in Windows system by deleting entries in registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey. After this change, when somebody works in system the Firefox is not running is not launching all the time. But when I open the Firefox the setting in system is overwritten and when I am using it Firefox returns to the homepage instantly. I think because of this quick launch button. I tried to change settings in about:config like browser.startup.homepage, browser.startup.homepage_override, startup.homepage_override_url,… this is for Firefox version is 10.0.2
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    Thank you for your interesst.
    This internet button key is one of buttons located above the keyboard near the power button. What I have achieved to this moment was to stop it functionality in the system by clearing the entries in the fields Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17\ShellExecute and entry
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7\Association that was http
    After these changes in registry the behavior of the button was suppressed, the Firefox stopped to start unexpectedly all the time – so in system it works. But the problem is still when I have opened Firefox. Every time when you want to surf in internet – the homepage is activated also unexpectedly. I wrote this post with intention to ask if there is a possibility to switch off the functionality of this quick launch button in Firefox. Because I assume Firefox overrides the system setup – this I have made in registry. I tried with some option changes in about:config but without success. And I know that for older versions of firefox was some option in about:config do disable_quick launch button. But in 10.0.2 I couldn't locate it.
    Thank you
    Regards

  • Tomcat switches off all the time

    I tried to install tomcat 5.5.12 on my windows xp computer. Unfortunately tomcat switches off all the time!!! I can not run tomcat automatically.
    What might be the problem? Are there maybe wrong windows settings?

    I think you need to look at tomcat websites and forums.

  • G5 tower chimes after switch on, fans start and then it switches off, all in about 5 seconds

    G5 tower chimes after switch on, fans start and then it switches off, all in about 5 seconds.  Does anyone know how to get this mac started?

    Use Compressed Air to blow it out good, LCS was the Liquid Cooling System on the last/fastest G5s.
    If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...
    Using this serial number locator is way better than Chipmunk, and more secure:

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then was new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • When I move mouse on Firefox-History (it must show context menu) he just begins to think, and after ~20 seconds he looks like I haven't pressed any buttons! I tried to turn off all addons but it doesn't help. Also he "thinks" everytime when gets download

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

    These are usually the features of a faulty battery. Restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better. If not, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no Coverage, still make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick (minutes time) battery diagnostic testing.

  • Is it possible to switch off auto dates in a comments box?

    Hello,
    I am making annotations to a document in pages 09 using the comments facility.  However each time after saving when I return the date has automatically appeared in the comments box.  This is becoming slightly annoying as I have a larger list of dates than the comments I'm making!
    Is it possible to switch this feature off?
    Thankyou in advance for any help.

    Hi Jerrold,
    That works fine until I save and then when I reopen the document the comment box has the date and time back at the top.  If I save and reopen again the following day there will be two dates and times in the box!
    I really just need to get rid of them totally.

  • Does the silence switch, switch off all sound?

    I have an iPhone, and I need all sound deactivated as I bring my iPhone to high school. Does the silent switch on the side, mute everything? I don't want app notifactions and emails popping up in class. Or do I have to manually switch off the sound?
