Is there a way to block Firefox from closing while files are downloading? I don't want to accidentally quit the program and cut off current downloads.

Basically, I was downloading a game from Game Agent and I accidentally quit Firefox. This stopped the download and I was not allowed to resume it, forcing me to spend $30 to buy the same game AGAIN to get a new download file. Is there a way to add a warning box to Firefox that says something like: "Are you sure you want to quit Firefox? Files are downloading" when I try to quit?

Untested, but according to http://www.phil.im/2011/04/27/how-to-enable-firefox-download-warning-on-quit/ set browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 in about:config

  • Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

    Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
    I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

    Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
    A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />

    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
    Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

  • TS2755 is there a way to block texts from specific numbers to imessage with out turning imessage off?

    is there any way to block text from specific numbers to imessage without turning imessage off?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle next to the email address this girl is sending iMessage to and select Remove This Email.
    If she has your cell phone number, she can switch to sending iMessage to that and there will be nothing you can do, but removing the email address will prevent you from receiving an iMessage addressed to that email address.

  • Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

    Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

    there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
    Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

  • Is there a way to record sounds from keyboard as they are?

    So I have a musical keyboard that I've attached to my macbook to record in Garageband. I have a ton of sounds on my keyboard from percussion, brass, piano, etc.
    When I record, for example, a trumpet sound from my keyboard into Garageband, Garageband just records the notes using its one version of trumpet or piano or whatever.
    How do I get GarageBand to just record the sound as is?
    I tried the "real instrument" track option but that ends up record all sound from the microphone on the MacBook and not recording the sound through the MIDI connection.

  • I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures.  Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

    I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures.  Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

    To clarify, I want to be able to make a flie I can take to a photo printing place (not for my own printer) so they can print it and I crop it.  The place I used to print at used to print an 8"x12" for the same price as 8"x10" (now they may only do 8x10 and I would need to keep the ratio the same so it would be two 3.3"x10" pics on an 8x10").  Any help is veryappreciated!

  • HT201365 What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

    What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

    Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
    Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
    E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
    =T20+1
    but also in
    =SUM(T)
    =SUM(20:20)
    =SUM(S19:U22)
    =OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
    =INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
    In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

  • Is there a way to block applications from opening unwanted tabs?

    Is there a way to block applications (or at least wait for user permission) from opening unwanted tabs? (like those annoying "Welcome to ..." or "You've successfully installed..." after installing/uninstalling a program, or even a Firefox addon).
    I just don't want Firefox opening tabs that I did not directly intended to open.
    Also, I've installed AdBlock Plus and Pop-up blocker is enabled, but still some websites allow pop-ups. How can I completely disable opening all stand-alone windows?
    Thanks in advance! :D

    What you are talking about is built into the install programs.
    Firefox has no direct control over them.

  • Is there a way to block someone from sending Text Messages ONLY?

    I would like to block a family member from sending text messages but I do not want to restrict calling abilities in case of an emergency.
    I have gone to My Verizon>>Safeguards but this option only seems to allow you to block on an "All or Nothing" basis.
    Is there a way to prevent someone from sending you text messages while still allowing phone calls?

    Thanks for your response. I have an I Phone (I Messages) but the party that I want to block does not have an I Phone.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

  • Is there a way to prevent Firefox from checking "work offline"?

    If I open Firefox before I am connected to the internet or if I try to do something when I have been dropped from the internet "work offline" is automatically checked. It is easy to fix but annoying. Is there a way to turn off this function?

    Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
    Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
    Name: network.manage-offline-status<br />
    Value: false

  • Is there any way to disable Firefox from updating my browser?

    I have been an ardent Firefox user ever since Firefox began, having created innumerable Firefox users through the effusive enthusiasm in which I have promoted Firefox to others. But the manner in which Firefox has been demonstrating its total disdain for its loyal cadre of users like myself has me infuriated to no end, to the point of dumping Firefox altogether out of sheer frustration, anger with Firefox's absolute disregard to the requests of its users, who have pleaded to have a mechanism in which the all-too frequent updates wreaks havoc with our lives, livelihood.
    The worst aspect of Firefox's dictatorial approach is the manner in which truth is the first casualty in
    having a process to disable the update process which is very much akin to the manner in which Foie gras is produced. I have been given all sorts of advice, guidance on how to disable the update process
    none of which have done a wit to fulfill my request of the specific needs of a browser that serves my interest and purpose, one in which is very much entwined with the work I do online as what I do for a living.
    The insults Firefox perpetuates against users like me in providing phony approaches that in the end
    turn out to be just another dead end is nothing short of nefarious. My attempt for the umpteenth
    time in trying to put a stop to these updates is a terrible business practice, doing the worst sort of harm, to those who have been most loyal to the Firefox cause.
    Just today, despite applying every sort of suggestion to stop these infernal updates, Firefox has once
    again found a new way to bring me closer to becoming forever alienated.
    This morning I noticed browsers all on five computers updated when I specifically had in place every
    contingency for disabling these updates and so once again, I deleted every last remnant of Firefox off of my computer and started anew with a browser from Old Apps.com after going through my checklist
    of steps to insure the updates will never cross my path again.
    But despite doing everything to stop it, checking never to be updated, having extensions applied manually and a host of other faux approaches to disable the updates, I nearly lost it when noticing
    that all computers were displaying the latest updates.
    After today's latest debacle with the game you play with us users, it came to me like a ton of bricks falling loose right on top of me, how on a smaller scale,you, your tactics, your total obliviousness to the requests needs of our users, reminded me of Microsoft in its heyday.
    That's a very sad,tragic legacy to be reminiscent of.

    You can install Firefox ESR, '''which updates every year, but is aimed for IT and biz users.''' We also dont support it here, but '''you can install it''', the current version is 17.0.7.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all
    Or another solution is to go to FIrefox button > Options > Advanced > Update > Disable Auto updates
    If disabling autoupdate doesnt work you can see [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Hopefully you found my advice well!

  • Is there any way to block calls from "blocked number"

    I would like to be able to block calls from numbers that show up in my caller ID as "Blocked".  I dont really care who they are I want them to share their number or I dont' want them to call. Is there anyway to do this? I am not talking about the restricted numbers just the ones that people have chosen to block. They can all do the *## and unblock their number when they call my phone if they really want me to answer it!

    Nothing annoys me more than receiving a blocked call, barnmother! The good news is that we have an option to prevent these calls from reaching your phone. Usage Controls will allow you to block unwanted calls and much more.

  • Is there a way to stop firefox from asking to remember a password for an entire domain?

    At work I have to connect through our website multiple times a day to client machines. We use our machine that creates a connection which is accessed by going to http://*****.ourfakeserver.com where the ***** will change each time. I would like to not be prompted every time I go to ourfakeserver.com. Is there any way to do this?

    The problem is that the subdomain changes all the time. I want to set the "Never Remember Password for This Site" for a whole domain regardless of the subdomain.
