When I open a browser, Firefox checks for add ons and goes to a Firfox page. How do I disable this? I want the browser to open with a blank page.

I have uninstalled v5 and reinstalled v3.03 and now it still goes to a Firefox page. How do I open a browser with a blank page?

  • Failed online license check for Add-ons

    I'm using creative cloud on mac and am a fully paid member.
    I have the latest updates to Photoshop & Extension manager.
    In Photoshop CC 2014 when I browse to extensions to try and run 'AnimDessin2' it is not visible (the only add on visible is Kuler) despite installing it from the Adobe add on site. Similarly if I try to install it manually by downloading the add on and running it from extension manager CC I get a message saying 'Failed online license check for Add-ons'.
    I've tried signing in and out of creative cloud but have no luck in using this or any other extension from the add on site.
    Please help.

    Please follow How to install the plugins in Photoshop CC 2014 - Powered by Kayako eSupport Help Desk Software to install it.

  • IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?

    Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
    I did some troubleshooting..
    I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
    Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
    Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
    BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
    So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume?

  • Firefox "check for add-on updates" checks even when not selected, request website list for firewall blocking purposes

    I work for the Tech Department in a school district. Our student computers are locked down and all settings are reset after a restart. We have set firefox to always allow all add-ons to run and to never check for updates (we update them on a schedule we control). However, since the latest release, we have been prompted after EVERY flash AND EVERY java update that they are out of date and need to be updated. Having the students click on this every time for every affected webpage is no longer an option. We are also not interested in white-listing pages individually; instead, we would like to prevent firefox from finding the update server to prevent any further prompts.
    Please provide me with all of the websites/web addresses that "check for add-on updates" uses so we can block them at the firewall level.
    Thanks

    Part of the problem may be the recent flurry of required updates to FlashPlayer. As I understand it Mozilla took the exceptional step of blocklisting some of those FlashPlayer versions after fixes were released because there were known exploits in the wild.
    * See the blocklist
    * And flashplayers bulletins https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
    Possibly you are having difficulty in keeping the software updated and so seeing valid warnings from Firefox. You appear (System info aside) to be posting using Firefox 34. The current Release is Fx35.0.1
    Possibly it would be worth you considering using Firefox ESR, that still has regular updates including backported critical security fixes, but the major version stays the same for longer and there are less frequent feature changes.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/
    I will send links for a couple of other articles by Private Message.
    Steps that may be safe for an IT department may not be recommended for the average reader of this forum.

  • After updating from FF9 to 11; FF always checks for addon compatibility and goes to mozilla

    I updated from FF9 to 11. In options; homepage is set to blank page and Foxtabs set to homepage (Foxtabs is compatible with FF11). But since updating, everytime I open FF it wants to check for add on compatibility and after I hit cancel, FF opens and the browser is using a mozilla page with a video saying Ive updated. This is getting very annoying.

    You can completely disable the compatibility check.
    Visit the following link & the 2 or 3 paragraph down will be titled '''"Completely disabling the compatibility check''''

  • Sometimes I turn off my internet router intentionally & Firefox puts up an alert window about it being off. How do I disable this alert window?

    When I'm out or go to bed at night, I turn off my wireless internet router. Sometimes I turn it off when I'm just going to be doing something that doesn't require me to be online. Whenever I do this, Firefox keeps putting up an alert window every two minutes telling me I have no connection (which I know). How do I disable this alert window so it doesn't keep showing up in the middle of a game or a document I'm doing?

    Its an addon, not firefox.
    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and 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).

  • Firefox crashing 6.0.2, a dozen times or more a day even after starting in safe mode, disabling add-ons and going through all the guides on Firefox crashes

    I've done 3 uninstalls, 2 of them all the way, one keeping the customizations. I have reinstalled each time. I've updated my plug-ins, restarted in safe mode with everything disabled (including plug-ins and add-ons) and am going nuts trying to figure out why Mozilla keeps crashing. It ALWAYS crashes on the Firefox add-on page, it sometimes crashes on Youtube and Facebook and rarely on google pages. I have ran MalwareBytes, SuperAnti-Spyware, Norton scans and Norton Power Eraser, they all say that I am clean, my computer is clean and the worse thing they can find are cookies.
    Please help. Thanks!!

  • Firefox opens all adobe files with firefox web browser. I disabled add-on, but it still does it. How can i disable this feature?

    All adobe files now automatically open in firefox web browser, even when opening them from widows explorer. I want all adobe files to be opened in adobe reader as a default. Yet I disable the plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 and it still does this. I can't use firefox this way.

    When you open a PDF file that you saved to your computer, by double-clicking the file, does it open with Adobe Reader or with Firefox?
    If the PDF file opens with Adobe Reader then follow the instructions in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] to set Adobe Reader as the application for Portable Document Format (PDF) in your Firefox Options for Applications.
    If the PDF file opens in Firefox when you open it from your hard drive, even though you have Firefox 33 installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox:
    #Download the latest Firefox version (currently 33.1.1) from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] and save the setup file to your computer.
    #*Note: You can use [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?scene=2#download-fx this link] for the online (stub) installer or choose the full installer for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page].
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the Exit button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
    #Reinstall Firefox using the setup file you downloaded before.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data.

  • I installed newer Firefox, now parts of Norton and Words do not function. How can I fix this? Go back to previous Firefox? Thanks.

    I installed the latest version of Firefox when I was prompted. It was not until after the process was complete was I informed that certain aspects of my Norton and Words programs would not function, and that currently there is no fix available. How can you resolve this? Can I go back to the previous version?
    Thanks

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • On startup, Firfox checks for add on changes and then goes to a Firefox page. I have selected to open in a blank page and I have disabled checking for add ons. This does not help. How do I fix this?

  • Firefox prevents me from copying and pasting content from websites. How do I fix this problem?

    When I enter this website, there are certain areas that FIrefox will allow me to copy and paste. However, if the content is located within frames, I get a message that indicates that Copy/Cut/Paste options are unavailable in Mozilla and Firefox. Then, the information box asks me if I want more information or to cancel the request. When I ask for more information, the system offers information about altering the preferences; however, those steps don't appear to work for me. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi happykt, I loaded a story and found that the mouse doesn't select anything in the main story area, although I can select in the header area near the author picture and I can select the entire page using Ctrl+a.
    Right-clicking the story area and using Firefox's Inspect Element feature, I discovered the problem: the site is adding a style rule to block Firefox from selecting text:
    &lt;div role="main" class="storytextp" id="storytextp" style="padding: 0px 0.5em; '''-moz-user-select: none;'''" align="center">
    Some elements within the main story have a .nocopy class name assigned, which applies a similar rule indirectly. Clearly the site doesn't want you to copy anything! Not sure why they didn't just come out and tell you this. Hmmm...
    If you want to work around this "feature", you have three options:
    (1) Turn off styles for the page temporarily. You can do this from the View menu.
    Tap the Alt key if needed to display the classic menu bar
    View menu > Page Style > No Style
    Scroll down past all the menus and headings and copy at will.
    (2) Use custom style rules to alter the page on each visit. Someone would need to develop this for you, and then you could add them to a file named userContent.css or use the Stylish extension.
    (3) Use a script or add-on to alter the page on demand or automatically on each visit. Again, someone would need to create this and then describe how to implement it.

  • I have a Max OS X 10.6.8 and the only has pages installed. I have been a mac consumer for many moons and I still like Appleworks.  How can I get this installed? Also am using Safari....

    My newly acquired macbook does not have Appleworks installed. The finder gives this info.....
    file://localhost/Volumes/AppleWorks%206.2.9%20Updater/AppleWorks%206.2.9%20Updat er   BUT
    then it informs me that the default location for this install could not be found and will not be installed.
    I am a long time user of mac and appleworks and would like to have this installation. Please advise.
    thank you.....

    AppleWorks is not legally available for download. You would need to buy a copy. HardcoreMac.com still lists AppleWorks 6 on their website. You could also try eBay but you would need to make sure it is AppleWorks 6.2 or newer to install on OS X.
