Is their a way to block ads on Facebook? Chrome has an extension which works well.

I have enable the popup blocker. Google Chrome has an extension that blocks ads on Facebook. Does Firefox have something similar?
I've been using Chrome almost exclusively because of this. Plus Chrome has an extension that eliminates Facebooks new "Ticker".
Thank you.

I want to say that I appreciate your help.
I wasn't familiar with Subscriptions.
The ads are finally gone from FB. But the ticker is still there, not a huge deal, I just find it annoying.
Mozilla was my default browser for a long-time, then I tried Google Chrome, and I have to say, it works much better for me. Crashes less, a *lot* less. Maybe Firefox doesn't work well with Windows Vista (which I hate, but must cont. to use)
The Chrome extension for blocking ads and the ticker, was extremely simple.
Just installed and it worked.
I have other problems with Firefox, the font size on the menu, for one. The one thing that keeps me drawn to Firefox is Reminderfox.
Thanks again for your help.

  • HT4528 The new iOS6 allows you to send/receive messages from other phones linked to your iTunes account which is great for checking on my kids but I dont want them to be able to add my phone to their messages.  Is there a way to block from being added to

    I updated to the iOS6, and it allows you to view and send messages with any phone on iOS6 and linked to your iTunes account.  You can unselect phones so they dont go out through the phone, but is there a way to block other phones from adding yours?  Example, I don't ind being able to see what my son is sending/receiving on his phone but I don't really want him to be abe to add my phone and see all my messages...

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • How to block ads in Mail?

    Hi guys,
    I seldom use Mail, but every once in a a while, it can come in handy when Thunderbird, my default client, refuses to work properly. I always create the same accounts in both apps, but there's one thing (among others) that Thunderbird has, and Mail doesn't: an ad-killer. Is there a way to stop ads from being displayed within emails in Mail, the way Adblock Plus does in products of the Mozilla family?

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for your answers! Actually, I receive a lot of newsletters from various websites, and they're ripe with ads. That's how those guys make a living, I guess, but I don't like the visual pollution and would rather stick with Thunderbird and its ad-blocking capabilities. My question was more in the since-Safari-has-ad-blocking-then-why-not-Mail? variety. Could an AppleScript do the job, if I fed it a black list of URLs to block? How would it have to be done?

  • Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

    Hello,
    We are using iPhone as a business phone to
    access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
    Is there any way to block non-company, in
    other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
    Exchange Server?
    Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
    company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
    a his/her private phone).
    We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
    If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Tak

    Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
    If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
    Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Blocking Ads in IE11

    Hi,
    I am a Google chrome user and I want to switch into IE11 on Windows 8.1.
    But the problem is that I did not found anyway to block advertissements in IE.
    Please, is there any extension or way to do so ?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Firstly, we need to update IE and install the latest features. And then we can change the security settings to avoide the pop-ups.
    Besides we can use the feature called Inprivate Filtering.
    For more information and detail steps, please see:

  • Is There a Way to Block an Individual Cookie in Safari 4.0.4

    Is there a way to block an individual cookie on Safari 4.0.4? I blocked in on Firefox but I can't seem to find a similar function on Safari. I delete from Safari it but Facebook keeps reinstalling it. Thanks!

    As for automatic deletion of cookies: no, Safari does not do that. This means in practise that you have to click on Show Cookies and manually delete those you do not want retained. You obviously want to keep the ones for regularly visited sites (like Apple) to speed up log-in etc.
    I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
    To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
    http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
    which only works on Leopard (which is what we both have). This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
    So, if you don't mark Facebook as a 'favourite', their cookies will be deleted on shut-down.

  • Block ads and mackeeper ads

    How do I block Mackeeper adverts and random pop up adverts from popping up every time  I click on a new tab another ad pops up, and it is getting very annoying. I've tried clicking Safari>security and block ads, and deselected plug ins but they still come up.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    is there a way to block pages on safari if know PLEASE TELL ME NOW!!!!!

    Ok, just stop and think about the question for a minute. 
    The iPod is powered OFF and he wants to know if there is a way to turn the iPod ON "remotely" which implies he cannot physically push the On/Off switch to the ON position.
    Because the iPod must be powered  ON for it to be connected to a wireless network, your answer makes no sense at all.
    Therefore the answer to the question is NO.

  • Is there an easy way to find out if a user has a message in their voicemail.

    Is there an easy way to find out if a user has a message in their voicemail from the
    UNITY subscriber page? Or anywhere I can look to see if they do.  I don't have access to the exchange servers.  We are currently running UNITY 5.0(1).  thanks

    The only way you'll be able to do that is to login to Outlook Web Access, or possibly setup an IMAP client to that user's mailbox or have TAC run the DohPropTest in attach mode to return the contents of the user's inbox.  If the first two don't work, I'd go with the latter and let TAC help you verify if there are any messages in the inbox that are unread.
    Hope that helps,

  • Is their a way to set system property in weblogic console

    Hi WL USERS
    Is their a way to set system property in weblogic console ie (http://localhost:8080/console) ? if yes, can we access that property in code using System.getProperty()?
    Regards
    vishy

    Yes, It is Possible.
    Please check the Option-1). Mention in the Following Link: http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2010/03/26/nodemanager-based-managedservers-setting-mem_args/
    Here i tried to set a Custom Property "*-Duser.dir=E:/MyDirectory*" through the Admin Console.
    NOTE: Setting any Option like JAVA_OPTIONS/CLASSPATh etc through Admin Console will work only when you start your Servers using the NodeManager. It means when you start your ManagedServers through AdminConsole...or Using nodeManager based WLST scripts.
