Unwanted Feature in New Version

I am using Windows Vista on a PC. I have Flash Player version11.9.9. I am set up so that when a new version is available, I get a notification. Usually the notification mentions the new version, but provides very little other information, often just the need for “security” updates and the fact that a lot of popular sites use the Player.
The most recent update notification said all of that and also that the new version would notify my friends of my favorite games. I don’t want that feature. If I want my friends to know about my favorite games I will tell them and if I don’t want them to know, I won’t tell them.
I definitely don’t want Adobe deciding what my favorite games are and I definitely don’t want Adobe deciding who my friends are.
I can understand that Adobe could have the Flash Player capture information on what games I play, and capture my name somehow. And it could save that information and disseminate it. But how does Adobe know who my friends are?
Frankly, this is very, very disturbing.
Please tell me how Adobe decides who my friends are.
Please tell me how Adobe notifies these friends of my online activities.
Can this feature be turned off? If so, please provide explicit instructions.
If the feature cannot be turned off, then sadly, I will have to cease playing any online games that use the Flash Player.

  • No zoom in feature in new version of Muse

    In the old version of Muse when you made your HTML files they would act like all other html files. Now they do not allow the viewer to zoom into and out of a page.  This is kinda uber sucky, especially for the mobile version. People will want to zoom in. This is a really important feature and I am hoping you fix this!!!!!

  • Missing the filter function in the new version of Spotify? Come over here.

    Hi folks,
    Many of you have requested we re-add an option to filter from artist, album and playlist pages in Spotify. We're considering this feature for newer versions of the application but we're investigating the best solution. Therefore, we have a question which will help us make this feature even better than before:
    What did you mainly use the filter function in Spotify for? 
    Please reply to this thread with your answer.

    @Spotify What sort of kind of question is this? Are you implying that no one at Spotify has a basic understanding of usability? It sure seems like it. First, I have to ask why would Spotify ever remove a feature that is in active use? Second, why do the product managers/developers at Spotify not understand the existing use of "find" or "filter"? The reason this feature was put into the product is the reason it should stay in the product. This sort of functionality has existed in computer interfaces for decades. Visual search (i.e. having a human being visually scan every item manually) is very slow and prone to error. When there is more than a little information on the screen, having the computer search for the human is much more efficient and less prone to error. I would suggest everyone at Spotify get as much remedial education as possible in usability. Here's a place to start: What — Definition of UsabilityUsability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.Usability is defined by 5 quality components:Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?There are many other important quality attributes. A key one is utility, which refers to the design's functionality: Does it do what users need?Usability and utility are equally important and together determine whether something is useful: It matters little that something is easy if it's not what you want. It's also no good if the system can hypothetically do what you want, but you can't make it happen because the user interface is too difficult. To study a design's utility, you can use the same user research methods that improve usability.Definition: Utility = whether it provides the features you need.Definition: Usability = how easy & pleasant these features are to use.Definition: Useful = usability + utility.Even using these basic principles, it is easy to see the reasons that Ctrl/Cmd-F should be put back into the product. Measure how long it takes users to find music on a long playlist or long search results page without Ctrl/Cmd-F. And then measure with it. The only failures with the original design of find/filter were (a) that it was less discoverable than it should be in the GUI, i.e. no GUI icon cue and (b) it didn't filter/find using substrings very well or at all. It pains me be a customer of a company where the original wisdom of the people who built the UI of the v0.8.5 client (and previous versions) has apparently been flushed down the drain.  

  • Where do i find out new version information

    How do I find out the updates or features of new version of Firefox? I went to mozilla web site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and clicked on what's new and it took me to the download page?

  • On both of my laptops that upgraded to the new version of Firefox, chat feature doesn't work anymore. It still works on my 3rd laptop that I didn't upgrade.

    I have 3 laptops. On 2 of them I upgraded to the new version of Firefox recently when I was prompted to do so. Both of those laptops now have trouble with chat . My 3rd laptop I have not upgraded to latest version and the chat still works. Either fix this or I have to use a different browser. I need to chat for my work. I can't make money without chat feature!!!

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' Can anyone help please

    I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?  
    Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
    Many thanks

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • I like the feature of the PDF being opened on the new tab on firefox browser windows. But the newer version (3.6 or 4.0) will automatically open PDF in a pop up adobe apps. How do I keep the PDF open on the new tab as before? thank you

    I like the feature of the PDF being opened on the new tab on firefox browser's windows. But the newer version (3.6 or 4.0) will automatically open PDF in a pop up adobe apps. How do I keep the PDF open on the new tab as before like the 3.5 ver.? I want the PDF opened in the new tab rather than in the Adobe's app's pop up window. Could you help?

  • How do I "save as" in preview with the new versions feature?

    It is automatically saving the file to the downloads folder and I have to find it in finder in order to change this.  Is there an easier way?

    Having upgrading my laptop to Lion and discovering that along with Auto Save and Versions comes the elimination of the Save As command and the inability to turn these new features off I will be reinstalling Snow Leopard and definitely not upgrading our household's other machines.
    The new scheme is cumbersome in it's insistence that I duplicate the document to give it a new name.
    I do not like the idea that previous drafts are accessible from inside the document by anyone who might access my machine.
    I do not like that new versions are created and saved without my say-so. I do not like that I am not asked to save/discard changes upon quitting.
    In short, the 248 great new features provide me little reason to upgrade but the 249th and 250th features are deal-breakers. Until they can be turned off I will not use Lion.

  • I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

    Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

    ( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
    If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

  • In an older version I could create buttons above the tabs for easy access to websites I chose. Is there a similar feature in the new version?

    In the older version if you clicked on a tab and dragged it to the area directly above the tab, then a button was created. I want to make buttons or preset links in the newer version. Is such a feature or add on available?

    omg I figured it out....Go to the bookmarks button on the right hand side of window (near the home button) click on it, then it has an option that says "view bookmarks toolbar" click on it. You should see a space appear below the web address bar area. You can drag tabs into this area like before. YAY. Hope this helps!

  • When I downloaded new version of firefox, the feature where when I open a new tab a page loads that contains mini-windows containing my most visited sites. where is this feature now!?

    So with the new version of firefox I lost the feature where, whenever I opened a new tab, instead of a blank tab page, a page would appear that contained mini-windows containing pics of all my most often used websites. I could then simply click on one of maybe six windows to go directly to my most used sites. What happened to this? I really, really, really miss this feature. How can I get it back?

    The Google Toolbar and other extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • 1 Feature Still Required Before I will buy New Version!

    I was a huge fan of serious magic before they sold out to adobe, I am also an adobe customer. I bought CS2 for over $2000 when it was new.
    Video is my life, I was a manager of a local CW network affiliate for years also and I know a lot of people who use video software and take my advice.
    I highly recommend Visual communicator 2 when it was new to lots of people. But Visual communicator 3 has little to offer that less than $50 worth of hardware can also do (ex. is multi-monitor support..nice feature, but with $50 of hardware, I can do it too) What I want to see and I would pay for it, buy buying the software and highly recommending this to many more people is a scissor feature to edit/ cut the video within visual communicator, because it is really inconveniant to have to switch between final cut or premier and then back into communicator. I would like to see it all incorporated..
    mabey first you nice folks at adobe could release a pro version or something with editability features built within. But I hope in the long run to see something much bigger though!
    My money in the long run is on Adobe if they are smart, you will incorporate VC3 features into premier. Make a button to switch between classic premier view for those that like it or another type of view that incorporates the VC3 ease of functionality with the power and ALL the tools of premier, I would pay TOP dollar for That!  (In fact I am anxiously waiting for you all to do that...hope the future is bright and it happens soon!)  Most TV stations use final cut pro still, but if you did this my bet is Adobe premier will take over the market entirely! I love Visual Communicator 2 and hope to get a newer version that has more editability functions in the future... thank you all for continuing a Great Product!

    Hi there
    Certainly you are free to comment here. But Adobe isn't likely to pay any attention to it.
    If you really want to gain Adobe's ear, you need to use the channel they have designed for it. This channel is called the WishForm and you may view it by clicking the link below.

  • Do the ACE certifications only focus on new features in the version of the software.

    Hello everyone,
    A bit confused about adobe ACE certifications.
    right,  i was looking at using some of the revision notes from ucertify, and was a little baffled you see, in the notes theres is only 200 and something questions on the photoshop cs5 exam and when i looked on the photoshop cs4 exam prep there was like 600 and something?? most of these companies say that there prep kits feature 95% of the material required to pass the exam so looking at this it would be easier to pass the cs5 exam than the cs4 exam?
    as i've never taken one of these exams before so this makes me think that the exams are only based on new features with the version of the software not a complete overview of the software.
    is this right? or do they just not put it in the prep material as they expect you to have learnt it all from the previous exams?
    very confusing.
    hope someone can help
    tom.

    yea thats what i thought, thats the most sensible answer that they expect you to
    know it.
    but... have you taken any of the them? would love to hear from someone thats taken a few, i wasn't even sure if i'd put this post in the right forum to be honest.
    just seems odd why they say 95% of the material is in the prep stuff seems too easy.
    i'd have thought that since the cs4 exam had that many more questions that the cs5 exam would have even more prep material but obviously not so.

Maybe you are looking for
