Can I disable the search-as-I-type in the search function of Firefox 4.0.1?

The function of research-as-I-type in the new Firefox seems twisted. If I'm looking for the 'invisible' word in a Web page, it will first jump to any word starting with 'in' and highlight the Word as I have to, and then click the arrow in the "Search" window to add the search term. As soon as I add one of these, it then jumps to the next 'result' I have no interest in, and then click again in the field "search". He did a REALLY aggravating text search. Is there a way to disable this?

Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

  • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

  • How can I disable the bar advertising for Firefox iOS & Android?

    I recently started to see a pop for Firefox iOS and Android advertising when I use Firefox on Windows 7. It takes the form of a notification, just bar below the URL bar read 'bring your bookmarks and passwords with you. Firefox is now on iOS and Android', with a 'Get it now' button and an 'x' to close right (see screenshot attached). I've closed more than once with the 'x' and it keeps popping up (perhaps only once per session, I don't know).

    I would like to get rid of this annoying little announcement. I looked through: config and settings of the ordinary, but I have not been able to find a way to remove it. Adblock Plus doesn't help, of course, because the announcement seems to be integrated into the browser itself. Anyone know how to stop this thing nagging me everytime I open my browser?

    Sorry, this is a message from the heart function. She undergoes a bug right now. Better to turn it off if you can get immediate relief.

    To turn off the heart rate:
    Talk openly about: config config in a tab, then search for browser.selfsupport.url and double click on it and set it to an empty value.

    You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

  • How can I disable the suggestion to "Improve Firefox" which appeared after the update of FF8? No any choice allows to avoid the appearance of popup the next time.

    I use FF8 with Selenium RC test infrastructure. When I installed the last update of FF contextual dialog YesNo "You want to contribute to improve..." ' began to appear before each test is run. Thus, the test stopped running on this popup and my problem is that I can not disable this popup for next time. I want to say I select Yes or no, popup disappears, but still appears in the next round of tests. How can I disable this popup at all?

    Hi guys! Thanks to all of you for the cooperation and ready to help. I have summarized all your advice, so the following 3 steps unravel the problem for FF8 and do my tests to run fine:

    1. Create and configure a new FF profile, using these instructions and suggestions . Don't put your FF to the default profile at the end.
    2. Then follow the first 6 steps by SafeBrowser (see above) to the new profile. Switch to the default profile (in firefox - p).
    3. Don't forget to use your new profile when you run the selenium Server (-firefoxProfileTemplate command line parameter) or the value of selenium to use this profile when starting a browser to Salenece.
  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: How can I disable the 'Fax' function on my Officejet Pro 8600

    When I try to print from "Firefox" it attempts to send a fax. If I try to close the fax, the page prints ever. I have no phone line and you want to disable the service "Fax".

    @vickiJohnk

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    'Default' printer can be set to be the 'fax' instead of your main printer.

    See the following topics:

    Print to printer without first record in the file

    In general, if you do not configure the fax - and that you do not accidentally - access you should not have to worry about this.

    You can find more information on fax in the User Guide, Page 62.

    If you have any concerns that 'something' is entered in the configuration of the fax that you ignore, you can check / look at your configuration of the fax machine (as well as all of your facilities to printer) using your EWS link on your printer.

    Example:

As a sort of lag, but my internet connection is good.

  • Can I disable the product key of Win7 on a laptop stolen?

    I bought a family pack of Windows7 and used a updates on the laptop for my son who was stolen last month.  Can I disable the product key on the laptop and use the key on another pc?

    Unfortunately, no, there is no method available to disable remote a product key.

    because the thief has your computer, even if it were possible, they could just use a retreival key utility and retrieve your product key. Also, this sets up a cat and mouse scenarios, because they could easily re-activate the license using phone activation. Your best option is to use the phone activation and explain carefully the situation in the call that your product key agent and the laptop has been compromised. The might be able to do something. If you had used the encryption, your data could be much safer.

    Activate Windows 7 manually:
    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.
    4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

    Access keys did not work, but I finally found the place under control panel, mobility settings and was able to disable the touchpad.  It's so irritating to try typing an email and have the arrow jump back on what I had already typed because my arm would land on the touchpad.  I had it turned off once before, but after downloading an update today and restart, the touchpad was back active again.  This time, I will make a note where I found the info to turn it off!
