Since loading firefox 4 2 stage verification is required each time I open gmail. How do I turn this off?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, each time I try to open my gmail account, the sign-in page presents me with an encrypted word (usually which I cannot read) to fill in in addition to my password.
This is infuriating and is slowing down my email access, also the letter string is sometimes illegible. How do I turn this off?

  • When I open Firefox the check plugin page automatically opens. How do I turn this off?

    Today when I started up Firefox an additional tab opened directing me to the plugin update page. I do not want this tab to always open when I start Firefox. How do I disable it?

    I uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player (and the AOL IM client "AIM", since apparently that's what forced Viewpoint Media Player on to my system.)
    Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I believe this plugin is triggering Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled.
    For me, after uninstalling Viewpoint Media Player, the "plugincheck always opening" problem then went away.

  • Each track of each playlist is listed.  How do I turn this off?

    I recently bought a new CD and imported the tracks into the iTunes library. (I was not internet connected at the time so I entered track information prior to starting the import).
    After the import completed, I clicked on the leftmost button on the bottom which is supposed to create a new playlist. The display changed to show every track of every playlist that I had. I have so many playlists, that it was very difficult to find the new (unnamed) playlist.
    Why are all my playlists listed track by track and how do I turn off this behavior. Anybody out there who can help with this issue.

    You might have repeat turned on. To turn it of open up your music app and tap the two looping arrows on the left under your song progress meter until they turn white. If that dosent help you might just have to delete your playlist and then rebuild it.

  • On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

    Sirs,
    The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
    http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
    I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
    I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
    Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
    We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
    I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
    I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
    Kindest Regards,

    The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
    1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
    2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
    3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
    4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
    This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

  • Today my Firefox start asking my approval for ever thing I'm doing OMG everything I have to approve of block everything. How do I turn this off?

    Today my Firefox start asking my approval for every thing I’m doing OMG everything I have to approve of block everything. How do I turn this off?
    i need to stop this asap its driving me crazy!

    None of the above.
    I have no hub (not even a USB one), or any other Firewire Video devices. I have the iSight connect into the only port that is available on my iBook G4.
    I have noticed that it stops working when my iBook goes to sleep. I am going to turn it of next time I take the laptop home and see if a cold reboot helps. If so it could be that the Firewire buss is disconnecting during sleep mode and not coming back on once the system is woken up. The only caveat to this salutation is that I never had that problem when I used my Canon Video Camera as a Web Cam.
    It’s just annoying to have to fiddle with the thing every time I want it to work.

  • When trying to send a comment to a web site I get a message, Firefox has blocked this site, how can I turn this off?

    when trying to send a comment to discussion sites I get an error message that says "Firefox has blocked this site" actions offered "allow"
    or "X". When I enter "allow" it ignores the command and the message disappears. A lot of wasted thought and typing. How do I turn this feature off.

  • In application builder the top level vi is always set to "run when opened"; how do I turn this off so I don't have to change it each and every time I build a .exe??

    I build a lot of executables using Application Builder under LabVIEW and in every one I build, I don't want the top level vi to take off and run when I open the executable. Currently, I edit each .exe I build within Application Builder and change the option of "run when opened" from Yes to No for the top level vi. All the other subvi's are already set to No. It would seem as though there should be some way to "turn this off" if you will so the top level vi is not always set to "run when opened" by default within Application Builder. Is there such a solution that anyone knows of?? Any help would be apprec
    iated... thanks...

    Indeed the Application builder forces "run when opened" to true for top levels VIs. If you don't want your VI to make any real work when the application starts, you should simply put a do-nothing loop in the beginning of the VI that will loop until the user presses a boolean. It will be more intuitive for users to press a Run button on the FP than clicking on the white Run arrow in the bar.

  • Why does Firefox trigger the UAC warning each time I open it?

    I design websites and test them across most browsers. We use Windows 7 operating system, and only Firefox triggers the User Account Control message on our test computers, which is a major annoyance when opening instances of Firefox in rapidfire order as web designers do. Is there a way to disable it? The UAC is not triggered by Opera, Safari, Chrome and we have made sure we have not checked properties-compatibility tab - "Run this program as administrator" in both the Firefox.exe file as well as any desktop shortcuts - as advised by several people and contributors to Firefox forums. But that doesn't have an effect. Each time we test, we get the Windows 7 UAC message. We've written to Microsoft several times and they have not replied. We thought perhaps you'd have a solution that actually works.
    Thanks

    I reinstalled first without deleting everything and then as you suggested. The program now comes up ok when I log in as administrator. However, it is the only program I have that suddenly won't work as a non-administrator without requesting that the administrator approve it to make changes to my computer. I have looked at the permissions and they are the same as for WordPerfect, for example. I don't expect that this program makes changes to my computer that will bother any other users.
    Why does Windows 7 think that Firefox is going to change the computer for other users?

  • My loaded brushes disappear each time I change brushes, how do you prevent this?

    I'm a new PSE9 user and I have a little background knowledge on how to use the program from the free trial. Now that I've actually bought the program I want to download new brushes. I've downloaded the brushes I want, but every time I load them into my palette the brushes are only there for  one use.
    What I mean is that I can use the brushes I want, until I change to a different brush. I still have them on my computer, but it annoys me that I have to reload my brushes each time I want to use them.
    How can I permanently keep the brushes there, like the default brush catergories that Photoshop already provides for you?

    Yes, I have them uploaded there. The two sets of brushes I downloaded are in my brushes palette permanently, but I don't remember how I did that. I was just playing around with the preset manager and the load brushes options and somehow I got two sets in there.
    Nevermind, I realized that once you have them in your drop down menu and you close the program and open it again it works. I suppose your way was right all along, thanks so much!!

  • Firefox set up message appears each time i open firefox

    Every time I open Firefox I get a message saying "You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 4.0.1exe which is a: binary file from: http://mozilla.cdn.leaseweb.com Would you like to save this file?"
    I have tried saving it again, re-running the set up file, all to no avail I still get the message every time I open Firefox. How can I stop it?

    Thanks Bill.  After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday.  I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    My problem was solved after the first step.  THANK YOU.  Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

  • LR4 auto adjusting and messing up my RAW files since latest update? How do I turn this off?

    HELP!
    This latest LR4 update has somehow turned my RAW files into these wretched looking too bright, too yellow/orange, messes.  I DO NOT have it set to auto import with any presets. I am not able to "reset" back to the usual dull, blah, flat looking RAW files I used to see in my LR4. 
    I also know for a fact that this is NOT how I took the images so the setting it's being imported with are not how I took the images.  I know this because I've been shooting RAW-Jpeg since I noticed this and couldn't find where to turn this setting off, and my JPEGS look NOTHING like what this is importing them as. 
    It's importing them all, regardless of session as I've imported 10 different sessions lately, and ALL of them somehow change over from the dull images RAW files typically look like when I click on them to enlarge them to have Temp 5500, Tint, -11, Exp +70, Contrast +5, highlights -9, Shadows +9, Whites -98,  Blacks -2, Clarity +19, Vib +10, Sat +19, and Orange +6 with Sharpening 81 and Noise Reduc at 4.
    What's going on??? How do I reset them back to the original RAW settings and stop LR from importing every.single.session with the settings above? I have no Presets with these settings either!

    Thank you to a fellow photog who answered my question via Facebook!  Apparently one of my assistants mistakenly made adjustments in the Libray tab to the "Saved Prest" which saved her settings as "Custom" as well as saved the Whitebalance change she made there and the Tone Control section.  I hit the "reset all" button under Tone Control and all is right with the world again! WHEW!

  • On Firefox v.21, when I visit a web page that has an embedded video, I do NOT want it to play automatically. How do I turn this OFF?

    I checked my options settings for applications, and all of the known apps that play various formats of video files appear to be set to 'Always ask'. This does not resolve this problem, however. What I want to do is to set Firefox to NEVER automatically play ANY video that is part of a web page that I visit.
    How can I do this?

    If I am seeing it correctly, the message in the video box
    is reporting that the player has crashed. Reloading the
    page should fix it. If your player still does not work
    after reloading the page, you can go to the web page
    for the player and download the player again.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
