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
Lukasz

Below are the instructions to set your modem to 3G-only mode:
Open VZAccess Manager with your card inserted, but do NOT connect to the internet.
Hold Control + D on your keyboard.
You will be prompted to enter a password. Enter diagvzw.
Select "settings" from the menu.
In the for preferred operating mode section, select Auto CDMA Then click OK.
Your modem will now only connect to the 3G network. Just remember that you will need to manually change it if you travel to an area where you want to connect to the 4G network (if available).
We trust that you find the above instructions helpful.

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

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

Is there a way to switch off by default the video on FaceTime? I only ever use this app for audio/calls and hate the video being on. I especially hate that if I leave the app open to receive calls it means the camera and green light are on.

My issue is that I can't find a way to have the camera switched off when the app is open and so this means if I want the app open all day to receive calls then the camera is going to be on the whole time. Even if it didn't potentially drain the battery, or add to the CPU usage or whatever else may cause any problems whatsoever (wheel of death!), I just don't want the camera on as I don't see myself ever wanting to use the video call feature but I would use the audio/call multiple times throughout the day to make and receive calls. The camera being on when the app is open is enough to prevent me from using the app. Also ever since seeing that episode of criminal minds where if you saw the green light on above the screen then it meant the killer was watching you!
Basically I just can't believe there isn't a way to disable the camera whilst having the app running. I know when initiating an audio call the camera goes away, but I would like the camera away the whole time. To me it just would make sense that if you click the video option then the camera is on, and if you click the audio option then the camera goes off. It just seems waaaaay to basic a thought for apple to have missed... Let's face it, we're not all as pretty as the people in the apple adverts and don't want to see our ugly mugs staring back as us when we work all day at our macs!

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Is there an option to switch off flash-plugin completele?

Dear Reader,
recently I installed Firefox 21 (Win XP SP3 x86). I realized that a flash video (shockwave flash plugin 11.7.700.202) can be started even if the flash plugin was disabled. Please check the thwo links:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuXAhH91CRg
http://www.youtube.com/embed/TuXAhH91CRg
The second one opens the player and the video can be started. I checked all the options I found in the GUI, but there is no additional switch to gain total control over the plugin.
Sometimes I need to view flash videos. Thats why I do not want to deinstall the plugin. Therefore I installed the add on QuickJava. I thought I can disable it comfortable with QuckJava. But obviously I can't. Because there are often discovered severe security issues in the flash player, I think this is an indirect severe security hole in FF.
What can I do to get (comfortable) control over it? (If other Players or automatically started EXEs exist in a similar manner, please tell me to control them, too.)

is there an option to switch from Photoshop single app to the CC Photography package?
So what you are saying, asking, is you purchased a Photoshop subscription @ the original offering price of $19.99 a month cost (or whatever it was) and now what to Drop that in favor of the PS CC + Lightroom $9.99 subscription. Is that correct?
If so you have two options as I see it.
1) do as suggested above and contact Customer Care to see if you can switch over before the end of the original subscription.
2) If you are close to the end of that original subscription period wait for it to end, Do Not Renew and then sign up for the newer lower cost PS CC + LR subscription.

How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L

Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
Any suggestions.

Hi buddy,
> Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
Can you find it now?

Is it possible to switch off the retina resolution in Macbook Retina, and view everything like older macbooks?

I havent yet gotten my self a Macbook Pro Retina yet, but considering.
When designing websites, it's of course important to be able to easily test how the websites look in different browsers, screensizes and devices.
So my question is, if I want to see i.e. how images on a website I'm developing would look and scale on older macs and other non-retina devices, is it possible to make the screen "go ugly" again and make 4pixels next to eachother form one pixel.
Of course, there might be another much better way to accomplish what I'm after, please feel free to present other ideas!
Also, if it's not yet possible, is the os x open in a way, that I could develop an app that would do it?
Thank you very much for your replies!

Are there any POSSIBLE ways to connect/sync my iPod Touch 5G to my iTunes 10.6.3(25) on my MacBook running OSX 10.5.8?

So, I bit the bullet. I've always wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 5 from my existing iPhone 3Gs, before I do so, I sort of got the iPod Touch 5G first.
Now to the main question,
"Is there any virtually possible way to connect my iPod Touch 5G 6.1.2 to my iTunes 10.6.3 running on my MacBook with OSX 10.5.8?!?"
I'm still lucky that my iPhone 3Gs still can run on 5.1.1 and sync nicely with my current mac, but I need a new phone. I already have a desktop workstation and I still do have all my data/etc on my laptop.
Or must I have to buy Snow Leopard (if it's still available) and upgrade my old Mac's OS to do so? If so, is it still worth while to purchase SL, or would it be abandoned very soon since it's also considered "old"? and getting a new laptop is quite expensive too as a solution.
Regards,
Vince

This works for 4G iPod and iOS 6. However, it may not work for the 5G because of the Lightning cable. The Lightning cable has active componets and thus it may need OSX 10.6.8 or later to work.
