• How can I disable the update of foxfire automate? That's why I dumped MS, I only want to update when I'm in control.

  I really get upset when software decides to stop what I'm doing and go update himself with asking them first. I disabled the auto update on my Norton and all Microsoft's Products. Before that updates are needed which is BS is just far from obsolete computers or using their memory with constant updates.

  I came to Firefox to get out of this nonsense change now.

  Thank you - "drafting" and James

  Now, I understand - the answer is no.

  THE NORMAL USER CAN NOT ENABLE THIS FEATURE. Can't wait to see a great browser fall into the mindset that if you want to change the update you basically have to go in the program code and modify the program Microsoft. Most of the people will not do that.

  James - your answer is close the send me the link for https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_update-tab the problem is I already check never search for updates (not recommended: security risk) and the program bloody yet more wrinkles and turns off and pulls the top of updates.

  HP pavilion D4100Y

  Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

  No error message

  No recent changes

  Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

  I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

  Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.

  Look under the tabs "Services" and "Boot". Uncheck update HP agent, select 'Apply' and close.

  I the MAGNIFICENT Add on 1 - ClickWeather and now has a message on the 'signature' module Now... I DON'T want to use a product of INFERIOR quality such as suggested in the name of the add - on.

  I would use the add-on that I already have on my Firefox, 1-ClickWeather. So, how can I disable the 'signature' on an individual add-on module? It is said to "Act with caution", but it does not show Me the details of my time. I reinstalled the add-on, but it does not yet record my position.

  Yes, I KNOW it is no longer supported, but has always worked until this past Saturday. It was abandoned several years ago but was kept alive by a single poster whose comments have disappeared. I have the add-on on my computer. I continued to update the continuous Firefox updates. Now, I want to again but there's this ridiculous thing on the module "signature" and «proceed with caution...» »

  Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

  FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

  The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

  Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

  And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.

  How can I disable the newtab most used feature display sites. I want the new tab to open the page displayed in the newtab:url in the topic: function config

  41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

  Setting up substitute again tab

  After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

  Success?

  Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

• How can I disable the Touchpad keyboard? .

  Whenever I type, my arm brushes touch pad, making the letters to jump back on the ground.  How can I disable the touchpad?

  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!
