Is there a way to disable/restrict access to Help Restart with Add-ons Disabled or just to Help altogether?

I have students who use Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled to disable add-ons, reset things, and go into Safe Mode. I'd like to be able to disable their ability to do so. Is this possible? I am also using a product called Fortres 101, which is a file security application. I can use it to limit file access to read only or even no access. If there are certain files that Firefox uses to allow access to these options, then maybe I can use these file names and make them read only or no access.

Note that you would only have to hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox to start in Safe Mode.
Any restriction added via an extension can easily be bypassed by knowledgeable users.

In the "Help" pull-down, is there a way to disable (gray out) the "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" so that a security extension can not be bypassed?

The extension that I am using is "Public Fox" 1.09.

I updated to Firefox 7 and now the scrollwheel on my touchpad doesn't work. Have tried updating my device driver, and restarting with add ons disabled. Please help!

OS- Windows 7
Upgraded from Firefox 3. I tried updating to FF 4 a while ago and had the same problem, so I went back to 3. Decided it was time to upgrade and the problem recurred. Please help!

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

How can I get my pay statements on the ADP portal to show up? I've restarted with add-ons disabled, and other browsers work; is this a Java or Flash issue?

http://portal.adp.com/ -> Pay & Taxes -> Pay Statements
There's a list of pay statements with links (blue text) from each pay date. If I click one, all these links turn to purple text, and I get taken to a page that it supposed to have a pay statement, but just has a big blank area where the statement should be. I'm pretty sure all my plugins are up to date.
Unfortunately, you need to have an account with ADP to check this out. Everyone else in my department who uses Firefox has had the same problem, though. It seems to be recent -- within the last month or two. Could it have something to do with Firefox updates? Again, it works on Chrome and Explorer.

I had the same problem - started with Firefox 23. If I log in to adp portal at https://portal.adp.com/public/index.htm and try to click on a single pay stub, all pay stubs become highlighted and I get a blank page. However, if I log into directly to Ipay at https://ipay.adp.com/iPay/login.jsf (same login and password gets me in), I have no problem viewing my individual stubs. Company says it is a problem with Adobe 11 (which works fine with IE).

Firefox will no longer open any website, not even a Mozilla support page. Resetting, even with add-ons disabled, has not helped.

The question explains the whole thing. No web page will open at all, except for the blank Firefox page. Typing in an address, clicking on a site in the history, opening a new tab and working from it - nothing works. I've reset it twice, restarted with add-ons disabled. All with the same result. (I just clicked on the Show Details link at the bottom of this page, and nothing happened.

Is there a way I can remote access to my MBP with my ipad2

I have a MBP, Ipad2 and Airport Extreme and I want to access my MBP while im out the office. I read somewhere on Apple that I can remote access to my MBP with my Ipad2 but I can't find the instructions. Can anyone help? Thanks

There are some apps that allow you to do this...
Check out LogMeIn. https://secure.logmein.com/products/ios/
I do it the hard way, I set up a VPN on my home network and use
a VNC program on the iPad to access my home network.

I recently started Firefox with Add-ons disabled in an attempt to discover why it is loading so slowly. Now, the Add-ons aren't loading automatically. Prior to starting in Safe Mode everything was working perfectly Thank you for your help!

Firefox 4.0.1
Windows XP SP3 Up to date

try the 15 - 15 option, see in the above link you gave us :
http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/21/understanding-add-on-scopes/
the : Add-ons are only disabled by default '''if they were not explicitly installed by the user'''. '''So if an external application places an add-on into the user’s profile directory, it is disabled by default'''.
(it is in extensions.autoDisableScopes area )

Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled

I found a fix for this problem .. I went to start then right-clicked
IE icon to open properties. In the target field
I deleted "extoff" at the end of the line and then in the
Comment field I erased everything except Start Internet Explorer. It still says (No Add-ons) in parentheses on the start menu .. but when I open the program I no longer have that warning message at the top of the screen and the game site I like
is working fine now.

still says (No Add-ons) in parentheses on the start menu ..
Did you recently install a different browser? Which one? I think symptoms like this are being caused by such installs but I don't have any details for supporting the idea. However, count yourself lucky because some users are inexplicably
seeing all signs of IE support completely removed from their GUI. Then the only thing they can do to get it working again is to use DISM to simulate what using the checkbox in Windows Features would do. I would really like to know how that was
done. This interfering "exploit" is mild compared to that.

Just updated to the newest version of Firefox and it keeps crashing when I open the browser. I tried opening it with add-ons disabled and it still keeps crashing. Crash ID: bp-03b36d11-304e-4f80-ab9e-79b7f2111223

I just updated to the newest version of firefox for my mac laptop. It keeps crashing when I open the browser and does so even in safe mode. Laptop is about two years old. Might it be an issue with the OS? I have not updated to Leopard yet.

It seems that the problem is related to fonts.
(1) How were you updating your operating system ?
If you use *_Software Update_*, hurry up, download and apply the combo updater available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
but CAUTION, this update introduce a serious problem with some fonts. At this time the only workaround available is to reinstall 10.6 tyhen apply the combo updater 10.6.6 available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1349
(2) if you didn't used *_Software Update_*, run a maintenance tool like the free MAINTENANCE available from :
http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
Apply it to clear caches files, mainly those dedicated to fonts.
It would be also a good idea to check the health of your fonts with FontBook.

Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon? I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.

Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon? I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data. How would the laptop connect to the 4G? network? Thanks for any info:)

Rcshnoor nailed it, everything will depend on how they manage their data connection once the laptop is connected. It is perfectly feasible that they will have no issues with this new connection. However, there is nothing stopping the user from going above and beyond the data usage cap currently sufficient for the phone by itself. We cannot presume that any estimations on new usage will be accurate either.
Users should always be aware of the reality that revolves around data usage and the devices that consume them. Its no different than installing a 2nd waterline/hose on your house. Sure the hose will be fine if you remember to turn it off when you are done, but no one is going to stop you from letting it run all night if you forget.

Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

Is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript?

is there any way to get windows environment variables like %USERNAME% with javascript using Adobe 10 pro?

There is a fair amount of Acrobat JavaScript and Acrobat knowledge need to sort all of this out.
The identity object holds a lot of sedative information. First, upon installation of Acrobat, only the login name is available in the identity object and the end user of the application needs to complete the "Name", "email" and "Organization Name" in the application's preferences. These are the only fields that are available to Acrobat JavaScript identity object as corporation, email, loginName, and name.
Using the instructions in The Acrobat JavaScript Console (Your best friend for developing Acrobat JavaScript) you can run the following script in the JS console to see the items of the identity object:
for(i in identity) {
console.println(i +": " + identity[i]);
and the following will appear in the console:
loginName: georgeK
name: George Kaiser
corporation: Example
email: [email protected]
true
The documentation states you need to use a trusted function to access this data, but you can access it at startup of Acrobat/Reader and add the properties of the identity object to an array:
// application variable to hold the properties of the identity object
var MyIdentity = new Array();
// loop through the properties of the identity object
for (i in identity) {
// place each property of the identity object into an element of the same name in the Identity array
MyIdentity[i] = identity[i];
console.println(i +": " + MyIdentity[i])
You access the items with:
var loginUser = MyIdentity[loginName]; // get the loginName property
In the user application level JavaScript file. See Acrobat Help / User JavaScript Changes for 10.1.1 (Acrobat | Reader) for the location of the application level folder you need to use.
I would change the name of the array used in this post so an untrusted user cannot get to your data. Some of this data can be used in hacking into a user's system.
