Under tools, options the box for popups keeps becoming unchecked

I select tools, options and place a check mark in the popups section and select OK. This works for a short while. Then I start getting popups. I check back under tools, options and now there is no check mark in the popups option. Place check mark again and select OK. Then again the check mark turns off.

What security or anti-virus applications do you have installed? <br />

You may have an external application that is turning off that Firefox preference after a computer restart. If that happens only after Firefox is re-started, there might be a hidden preference added to Firefox via a user.js file. <br />

On Hulu I keep getting ad loading errors that stops my movie/show. I can not find the disable add block. It is not under tools, options, the tool bar or add-ons

On hulu I keep randomly getting the error message that Firefox is blocking the adds and i need to disable adblock in order to continue watching. Problem is I can not find the adblock option. It is not under tools, the addblock toolbar. I also tried enabling it under add-ons (under extensions) and it was not there either.

Hi i_see_dumb_people88, it appears you only have two Extensions installed and both of them are disabled. Is that correct if you compare this list:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
In that case, you do not have the AdBlock add-on. However, it's possible that ads are blocked in some other way, for example, your security software (if it has this feature) or domains you listed in the Windows hosts file (if you downloaded a hosts file or edited it manually).
If neither of those is applicable, they probably would affect other browsers as well as Firefox. Do you know whether the problem occurs in IE?

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Under Tools, Options, Security; how do I add a site to the "exception" box to prevent a password from being saved?

I would like to add a site to the "exceptions" box under "tools", "options", "security". This is to prevent the computer from saving a password for that site.

Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.

The option to change my current page to my start page under TOOLS/OPTIONS is gone. How do I get it back?

I updated Adobe and Media PLayer, making sure I didn't allow any of the optional add-on tool bars and anti -virus apps. Then after that YAHOO became my start page. I went to change it back under TOOLS/OPTIONS, and the entire option for making the current page my home page is wiped out, not there, doesn't exist. Where did it go and how do I get it back? I run a sales business online and need to hit the HOME key all day long to watch for orders.

Hi JoeSeadog, extensions can modify the dialog. 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. (Or if obviously badware/useless, remove.)
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.
Any improvement?

How do I get Adobe Acrobat to appear in the Conent Type listins under Tools/Options/Applications

I want PDFs to open in Acrobat within the browser and not open up the Acrobat application. The Firefox 4.0 Help lists the way to do this, but Acrobat does not appear in my list under Tools/Options/Applications, so I'm stuck with no answer

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description, you want to change the View report color in VS 2013. Right?
In this scenario, the button shows white text in a grey background because you select the
Dark in color theme. Please go to TOOLS->Options->General->Environment, we just need to change
Blue or Light.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Do I need to keep the box for my iMac?

Hi, does anyone know if there is anything in the Apple Care agreement or any other aspect of my warranty that requires me to keep the box for my iMac, will I ever have to send it back to Apple or will they always send an engineer out to it?
The box is huge, it will not go through the hatch into the loft and I am fed up of moving it about in my garage.

Yes, I am trying to find somewhere to store it.
Is it ever likely that to get a repair for my iMac that apple would ask want it shipped back to them, in which case I would need the box?

Using Item UIDRef, can we get data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item

Hi all,
I have a Item UIDRef but facing a problem for getting data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item.
What I did:
- Getting the pointer "IMainItemTOPData" using item UIDRef as
InterfacePtr<IMainItemTOPData> mainItemTOPData(shapesUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
- This interface has the method GetTOPOptionData () which return ITOPOptionsData pointer
- But SDK don't have "ITOPOptionsData" class implementation.
Second Approch:
- Used "ITextOnPathSelectionSuite" and getting the correct result for Desktop plugin.But I want the correct result in server plugin also.
Anyone who has an idea how to get this using UIDRef, please let me know.
Regards,
Jitendra Kumar Singh

Hi Pulse,
Unfortunately, Flex doesn't currently support text on a path. However, I binged it and found this:

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
1. Open Photoshop.
2. Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
3. Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
4. Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
5. Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
6. Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
7. Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
8. Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
9. Open Photoshop and everything should be readable.

My dell inspiron 15r finds my iphone but it doesn't trigger the box for me to give the security number to tether

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my Dell inspiron 15R the laptop recognises the phone as a personal hotspot but it does not trigger the box for me to input the code to allow tethering. Why does this happen when my old iPhone 4 (which Apple have just replaced) did produce the box and tethering afterwards was automatic?
Thanks in advance, Colin from Leicester, England.

ME TOO. NOW MY IPHONE 6 PLUS IS SAME LIKE YOU.
iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

Best thing would be to call Apple up again, and let them what has happened and they'll help you!

I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." but unchecking the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. M'aidez

Can't load Google Calendar. I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" but unchecking the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard. Google Calendar opens and works fine on my 12" PowerBook G4, but this is a recent problem on my G5 13" MacBook Pro. Mayday!

No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.
