When webpages contain mixed content, does (or can) Firefox block content from unsecure sources?

When secure webpages (those using SSL) contain content from non-SSL sources, Internet Explorer 8 and 9 ask if you want to view only the content that was delivered securely. I haven't been able to find a similar prompt in Firefox. I know of three possible explanations:
1. Firefox does not offer protection against mixed content. I hope this isn't the case!
2. Firefox has a setting I haven't found.
3. Firefox may offer the protection but in a different manner than Internet Explorer.

Firefox doesn't and can't block content coming via an insecure connection in that case, but you can get a warning.
The settings for the warning messages have been removed from the user interface (Bug 513166).<br />
You need to change the related security.warn_* prefs directly on the <b>about:config</b> page.<br />
Filter: security.warn_viewing_mixed

Ebay Classifieds' "Manage My ADs" Firefox Blocking Content

Previous post [/questions/968512] ~J99
cor-el, your observation regarding the "shield" was correct. I opened the shield and disabled it which made the page go back to normal. Unfortunately, it only worked....temporarily. :(
The page is back to the way I showed in the picture I previously attached.
Also, I went into about:config and did what you suggested but that didn't work either.
I found some info on this site about Firefox blocking content and did what was suggested.
One was....There is a click on/off addon for disabling that. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/toggle-mixed-active-content/).....didn't work.
I can implement any of the above referenced suggestions, but when I either refresh or log out and come back later, the page has been changed. I did contact eBay Classifieds to see if they can do anything on their end but I'm not holding my breath.

Do you have any ad blocking software installed?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Satellite L-50 can't play audio from multiple sources

I can't play audio from multiple sources. This is very annoying when I have 2 youtube videos playing, if I start playing something on the media player, there is no sound on media player, it's the same when I have 2 media players open and 1 youtube video playing, youtube video doesn't have sound..
I already have all the latest drivers, last DTS driver update was in 2014, sound update this year's february..

I don't know if this makes sense, but I got newer DTS sound driver which I found, It's not my laptop model, but they all seem to be the same - v1.1.88.0
I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming.

You can use Settings > General > Restrictions on each device to require your iTunes password to be entered for every download (and you can block in-app purchases), or you can hide the App Store ('Installing Apps' set 'off') and iTunes store apps so that they can't be used.

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address? I am in the middle of a relationship ending and I want to RESTRICT myself from being able to send outgoing email to a certain email address. Please advise. I have no will power and I don't want to be engaged in back and forth email drama. Thanks.

Might sound kind of silly, but you could go into Contacts, the person in question, edit, and where it says Add Field, put somthing in like STOP, or DO NOT DO THIS
At least that would get your attention, even if it doesn't block you from emailing.
There just isn't much you can do to block yourself. If you have a couple close friends, do something like an AA support group...call a friend and have them talk you out of emailing.
I'm not trying to be smart alecky about this, actually trying to help, but there isn't much to offer.

Apple doesn't block stolen phone. Contact your carrier. They may be able to.

HT5463 Can you block calls from certain numbers

Can you block calls from certain numbers

You can also make a contact for those numbers and assign a silent
ringtone to them. The calls will still come in, but you will not hear them
and they will eventually go to vocie mail if you have it set up.
You must do this for each number as wildcards are not accepted in
Contacts, but all the numbers can be listed in one contact.
As Ocean20 has stated above, true call blocking is a function of
your wireless provider.

How can I BLOCK others from receiving return receipts on mail they send me?

I would rather others not know when I read their emails. Can Mail block return receipts?
I searched for an existing string on this and didn't find one. Excuse me if I missed one.

As Allan said, Mail does not support receipts, but sometimes HTML messages download images from a server, and this connection could be used to confirm that the message was opened. To prevent that,
Preferences > Viewing, Un-check "Display remote images in HTML messages".

Can't open pdf from single source & 9.3 won't install

I receive a weekly update from a source. Until Jan.22 had no trouble
accessing it. Now when I click the link it goes to the link's site but no pdf appea
rs, just a a normal site page
w/o the acrobat background I am on Vista platform,and IE8.. I can access this link from my laptop Also tried to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.3. Download finished but installation could not be completed. Said there were files open that were being used. I had no other files open. I am very frustrated and
I am not experienced enough to know what to do.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

As the creator of an interactive PDF form, can I block users from opening it in Preview or web?

I have created a number of interactive PDF application forms which are downloaded from our website and completed by individuals and organisations who wish to apply for funding.
Increasingly we are being contacted by people who are having trouble completing, saving and printing the forms. In almost every case it turns out that they have opened/filled in the form in Preview or in their web browser and the form has been corrupted. As Macs become more and more popular this is going to become a bigger issue, to the point where we may not be able to use interactive PDFs anymore.
We do have a warning at the top of the first page of each form telling people that they need to complete their form using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, with a hyper-link to the web page to download Adobe Reader for free. But this obviously isn't sufficient given the number of people who are still trying to access and complete the forms in Preview.
What I want to know is if there is any way, as the creator of the form, that I can stop it from being opened in Preview in the first place? Or failing that, if it is possible to create a warning that pops up if the form in opened in Preview or a web browser?
If this can't be done I will need to include a detailed technical help page in the form. Rather than starting from scratch, if anyone has already pulled this information together and would be happy to share it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help (in advance)
Rachel

You can't prevent it from opening, but you can active the form only if it's being used in a JavaScript-capable viewer. You could show a message (e.g., button, layer) by default, and get rid of it if a script that runs when the form is opened is executed. The script could also enable the fields if everything checks out.
