Some addons give a small purple screen about what is blocked; how can I stop this screen from appearing?

I'm using adblock, adblock popup, better privacy, ghostery, no-script. Sometimes this purple screen, on the right side of the screen, almost on top, is very big, and blocking text. I can click it away, but it keeps returning.
Is there a way to shut off the appearance of this screen?
Thanks allready,
J.Koopman

I use NoScript, and it uses a bar along the bottom, so it's probably one of the others.
Some extensions provide a toolbar icon or Tools menu entry allowing you to adjust how they work.
In other cases, you can use the Options button on the Add-ons page for that extension:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you figure out how to tame it, can you post back with the answer? Other users often find these threads in web searches, and it could be helpful to them.

  • When click the email icon on my iphone, it opens on one email only.  I can not go to the next or previous email, a different email or anything.  It only gives me the option to move that email!  How can I stop this.  Its been working perfectly well before!

    Now as you may know there is some icons at the bottom of the mail app, at the top left conner you should have the inbox button and on the upper right conner you should have two arrows to shift between emails. If any of those options works try :
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings
    If that does not work try to re add the account
    Last but not least, restore as new.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I stop Air Software from appearing on my screen?

    Every time my computer starts back up, a small window appears in the lower right of my screen from Air Software. It's telling me I need to download to clean up my PC. I checked and found that I really don't want to download anything from this site. But, how can I stop it from appearing?

    If we assume it's some kind of malware, I suggest the following:
    (1) Open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Supplement your regular security software by running the scanning/cleaning tools listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These are free, and take time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and requiring payment, you may have a serious infection.

  • I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

    From what you have described, I don't think you are ever going to pick that up as malware at all. But I did look at the site you mentioned in Google Chrome, and in IE9. First thought was maybe Chrome suppresses it, but that would be contrary to trying to convince you that their AdSense or IntelliTXT is "helping" you.
    What I did find in Chrome was
    "Google Chrome's connection attempt to ad-apac.doubleclick.net was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
    Since I don't have ad blockers in Chrome or IE, that tells me that my hosts file is doing its job, you can draw you own conclusions. There is something similar displayed in IE, but I can't read what was there because the font-size was too big. for the space. In Firefox with "Adblock Plus" extension it is all wiped out. The hosts file works across the entire system but is directed at blocking malware sites more than advertising. "Adblock Plus" is very good at blocking ads and can do its blocking with more generic filters, and can block a lot of malware from coming in but it can't block at the system level that a hosts file can.
    In IE although I can only see "It appea" because the font is too large and text does not wrap it does actually say "It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet."
    I would certainly suggest installing "Adblock Plus" extension and the "Easylist (USA)" filter subscription -- links are in the links previously provided, and installing the hosts file as well also in the links.
    It takes a bit more work to install and maintain a hosts file but the directions should be clear enough.

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • The website recommending that I download Codec Performer opens in a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    A website recommending that I install Codec Performer opens a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    One potential cause of this is an unwanted extension. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    If you are adventurous about installing software from various websites, you may have loaded a bundle that contains some, well, crap. To review recent additions, go to your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent items to the top. Remove anything unexpected or unwanted.
    Success?

  • How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

    HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

    Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog.  Some of the pictures display perfectly.  Others are blury.  How can I fix this? I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos.  They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed.  Must be another solution????

    Ged,
    whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
    I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
    Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
    On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
    Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
    DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

    Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences.  To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

  • The screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?

    when I start the server, the screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?. The server has no video card.

    What do you mean by 'out of sync'?
    Try running the 'kickstart' using Send UNIX Command or while logged in to that server (ssh etc):
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent -menu -console
    You might also want to trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from the server..

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.
