When an addon or extension changes its behavior to "spyware", who should be notified?

While browsing extensions, I don't see a notify Mozilla or "report spyware" link to click on. There is a case where an addon is obtrusively installing a monitoring system along with the addon, and I want to report it.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/
Something fishy/phishy is going on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/reviews/?src=api

There is a report button above the reviews to report the addon of wrongdoing, though Mozilla checks each addon so i doubt if its doing anything that breaks the addon guidelines.

I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions

I've found that middlemouse.contentLoadURL feature has changed its behavior in FF5.0 as compared with previous versions: I now can paste&load only full urls that start with "http://" prefix, but previously it was possible to paste&load any url even without protocol prefix. It is very useful when someone has an url for example just "support.mozilla.com", but with FF5.0 one _has_ to paste it to urlbar instead of just middle-clicking into the browser window (long standing and usual *nix behavior). How can I make middlemouse.contentLoadURL load any clipboard content not prefixed with protocol specification?

Oops, already found a solution: https://support.mozilla.com/ru/questions/824759
But, how could it be done via something less freaky (ala about:config)?

thank you

Hello Nick F,
Thank you very much for your reply and i am so sorry for less details of my previous message so, here more discussion:
I control the position of a reobatic arm, at starting of the program the arm may be in any position so i must move the arm to a referance position by making a program to give analog 5V through analog output pin of the DAQ to the to the DC motor controller card to then to the motor which drive the arm, when the arm arrives to its referance position hitting a limit swich which will give a digital signal to digital input pin of the DAQ, here, my object is to stop the obove program (or loop) to stop the arm, at the same time i want to run another program or another while loop on the same program which is an LV example (control single channel.vi) (which is an PID controller program to move the arem to a desired position.
that's all
please reply me quickly
thank you

Adjustment brush changed its behavior

This behavior just started: When I use the adjustment brush, it slightly darkens the area brushed over no matter what options I have set for it to apply. I have no mask active. The actual effects only become visible once I deactivate the brush. Until today, the brush worked perfectly. And the graduated filter works as it should, along with all the other tools. Any suggestions?
Lightroom 2.3, Vista 64 Ultimate SP1, 12 GB RAM, i7 chip.

In Vista 64 the preferences file is located on your application drive at {User} > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Lightroom > Preferences. AppData is a hidden file on Windows, so you'll need to open Folder Options in the Control Panel and turn on "view hidden files and folders." You'll have to reset all those choices you initially made as to how Lightroom appears on screen, such as how side panels appear/disappear, grid view options, etc.

I accidentally clicked "do not ask me this again" about forcing an extension change when downloading. How do i get firefox to ask me this again?

I was using download helper and a box usually pops up that asks me if i want to force an extension change. I clicked the wrong box and then clicked "do not ask me this again". I would like to get the box back so i can change the setting.

This could be a setting in the add-on. In some cases, you can access an add-on's setting from its icon on the Add-on Bar. In other cases, you can access it from here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Look for the add-on's "Options" button
Any luck?

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it. As it happens in other develpment enviroments that one can customized the look 'n feel of any thing during the mouse movement over that very thing. Moreover can any body plz tell me that how one can modify the funtionality of a control by him self (not selecting the available functionalities of controls and indicators)

The attached LV 7.1 code uses an event configured to trigger on two controls when a "Mouse Enter" or a Mouse Leave" event occurs. Depending on the type key focus is either assigned or removed.
Please elaborate on the Q re: customizing a control.
Ben
PS Do NOT change the boolean to an indicator, save, run, change to control, save run again. That is bad.

Acrobat Pro XI does not work as it was claimed like when convert Pdf to Excel it changed its content

When we convert a pdf to excel it changed its content for a example see this Pdf
Which convert into excel like this
Can any body help us to fix this problem

It's working exactly as it's supposed to. If you save a PDF to a spreadsheet Acrobat expects the page to contain tabular data, as that is all Excel can work with. Your PDF has no tables, and a bunch of complex formulae and LTR typefaces which Excel simply doesn't support.

How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

Making a button programmatically not change its 'physical' state when pressed

I have this button:
which changes into this when pressed:
How do i programmatically make the button not change into its 2nd state when pressed? do i use property nodes? if so, how?
thanks

If you use the Colors Property Node, you can change the colors dynamically, so you can set it all green when you need it, then change it back to green and red.
The only way you can intercept the button press is to use the Mouse Down? event in the event structure. You will need to verify a left mouse click and then Discard the event. That will be your inidcation the button has been pressed. However, you will still need to track your state to not discard the event in the situations where you want the button to actuate.
It is much easier to dynamically change the colors.

When I nudge clips in Premiere CC they will "run over" other clips, how do I change this behavior so the clip will stop when it hits another clip?

When I nudge clips in Premiere CC they will "run over" other clips, how do I change this behavior so the clip will stop when it hits another clip?

Not sure what behavior you are exactly looking for, to move the clip and have it stop and the next clip in the direction of travel, drag the clip with the mouse with Snapping turned on in the timeline.

Pdf extension changes to .dat when send a file via e-mail from adobe acrobat 9

to convert a file from microsoft word 2007 to PDF and send as an attachment via e-mail from adobe 9, the file is received with the extension changed to. dat, so recipients can not open it.
Can anyone help me with this.

What is the OS of the sending computer?
What mail client?
I receive plenty of files on my PC as .dat files, which come from Mac user(s), rename the extension to what I think they ought to be and have no further problem. (I cannot change the senders email settings where the problem originates)
If the receiver knows it is a pdf file, they can drag it into Acrobat, but renaming the extension serves future use.

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

Create Archive, how to change the behavior of the default file naming?

From an earlier post on archiving via the contextual menu in the Mac OS X Finder:
"If you archive a single item, the archived file has the name of the original item with a ".zip" extension. If you archive multiple items at once, the archived file is called Archive.zip."
Is there a way to change the behavior of this?
I ask because I want to archive a single file, say "photo.psd" and when I do I get an archive called "photo.psd.zip" - is there a way to create an archive from the contextual menu and have the original file extension be appended? - in this case I would want "photo.zip" to be the end result.
Also, is there a way to change the behavior of archiving multiple files? To, say, create a differently named file afterwards instead of the default "Archive.zip" - perhaps something a little more descriptive but standard, like "YourFilesCompressed.zip" - something that would stay the same across each archive creation.
Thanks, I've been manually renaming after all create-archive's. And I do realize other applications could probably do this, but I'm thinking there must be a way to do this in the finder, no? A terminal command? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try looking at the documentation for the ditto and zip Terminal commands.
