Is there a way to disable the Add Ons feature?

Every time I boot FF, it starts with a popup Add Ons window trying to download more Add Ons. A few make sense for me, but most do not. Fortunately, I do not have FF set to install the Add Ons automatically. FF says it doesn't support Add Ons, but it certainly is responsible for the action of the Add Ons feature that constantly tries to load unwanted software on my computer. Can the Add Ons be disabled? Or is this another one of those things where everyone is going to say give up on FF and switch to Chrome?

Here is a pretty elaborate walk-thru that can take you through disabling private browsing for Safari:

(60 Users) for a period of 2 days,After that i wanted to enable them....Is there any way to disable the objects owned by them with out dropping the users?(The users should be able to work as prevoiusly on the new objects they will create after i disabled the objetcts owned by them previously)?

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

Just upgraded to a 6. I want to use my old 4S as an iPod touch. Is there a way to disable the phone and only have wi-fi?

Did you transfer the telephone number from the old phone to the new phone? If you did, I don't see how you could still have cellular service, even if you turned it off in settings.

HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - Is there a way to disable the Fingerprint Scanner?

I am using an HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV Windows 8.1.
This model came with a fingerprint scanner in the lower left of the computer. While this seems like a nice feature, it's not one that I am planning on using (I use LastPass for my passwords). I keep accidentally running part of my palm over the scanner which will bring up the screen for HP SimplePass. This can come up at the most inopportune moments, and it can get quite annoying trying to always conciously avoid the fingerprint scanner.
Is there any way to disable the fingerprint scanner?
Thanks.

@DSWJoshua,
Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. To be thorough, I will provide steps to disable the driver itself, and Biometric support, so you don't have to worry about it later.
To disable the Driver, go to Control Panel, then Device Manager. Expand Biometric devices. Right-click on the Validity sensor and Uninstall.
To turn off biometric support, go to Control Panel, then Biometric devices. Uncheck Allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints and then save it.

No, but what you can do is use the free MDMs at http://www.simplemdm.com/ or http://www.meraki.com/products/systems-manager/ , enroll your devices, and clear passcodes set by students with the click of a mouse.

Hi,
take a look at:
Preferences
Users & Groups
Login Options
At the top you can (de-) activate the automatic login.
Does it work for you?

Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one. Wjosten's reply wasn't rude. It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating. You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen). It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer. It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.

This is a technical assistance forum, not an 'emotional assistance' forum. Wjosten was not rude or insulting in any way. You were.
This is where we tell you how to solve your technical issues. There are no shoulders to cry upon here.
Direct, accurate information. That's what wjosten provided.

Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks a lot in advance.

No!

the external GPS is used only for 911 but the device will not operate without it...this causes great inconvenience for me, having to run that cable to a window in the two houses I use it..is there a way to disable the GPS if I do not care about the 911 functionability..? this is the only downside I have with the network extender and it renders my device useless..

Nope, GPS is a Federal requirement for anything operating a cellular telephone signal. You don't ever plan to call 911 until you are in an emergency. I don't see that requirement changing any time soon.
If you are truly inconvenienced by the VZW network extender then perhaps you should disable you calling features in these areas and swap over to WiFi only. There are many services and apps out there that can route your phone services through internet service providers.

Is there a way to disable the itunes video pop up for music videos in itunes 11?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the video window from popping up everytime I change a music video track in itunes in previous versions I always used play in artwork viewer but I accidentally updated and now that option is no longer there. I use itunes to organize my music collection as I'm a video dj but it's becoming to be a really big pain now with all the videos popping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can choose to have videos play in the iTunes window, rather than a separate window. Start playback of a video, then right click in the video and choose "Play video in iTunes window"

Is there a way to disable the auto play video and audio ads that are showing up on the web these days?

Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data. We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage. We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud. Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to. Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products. We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.
