How can I prevent third parties not authorized to launch from my browser?

With all the concern for safety, I can't understand why a third-party program can just open my browser without permission or warning and load any page please. I install a new program or update an old and it opens a thank you page or the implementation. I uninstall a program and it opens an investigation into the reasons for leave. I click on a button in a memory intensive game and Firefox to suck the rest of my RAM and cause a malfunction.
At least with the combination of Mozilla and my anti-virus protections I worry too much taken to a malicious site or other evil applications of this vulnerability, but it's annoying. The decision to open Firefox (or any program) should not be mine alone?

I don't understand. If a web browser can't know from whence an application is launched then how could another program.

If your firewall or other security software has this feature, you can configure the rules to deal with that. For example, by default, you can prevent external applications to launch web browsers. You could then define rules for specific applications to allow them to launch web browsers. This way you can always click on links in an email client and open them in a browser, for example.

Did you mean that Firefox does not currently detect this? That it is not possible to implement?

As far as I know, no navigation software only allows you to ignore links launched by external applications. You can request this feature by submitting a bug enhacement, so relevant report does not already exist.

If by my "computer's application page" you mean "set program access and computer defaults" then no, it does not work. The only options are any of your installed browsers or your current browser.

You could break the association for HTTP and HTTPS protocols in the registry, but I do not recommend.

  • How can I PREVENT Time Machine back on the wake from sleep?

    I leave my machine on the work week and when I finished the night, I SLEEP there.

    In the morning, he has no need to backup first thing. But Time Machine insists on execution from the moment I have a mouse and he wakes up from his sleep.

    It was fine when it was new and fast, but now he is old and slow (especially - but mostly because I really push to the limit with multiple Safari Windows opens and executes a large number of software design at the same time, I have to do for work).

    My question is simple:
    How to tell Time Machine to does not have a return on the wake from sleep? or;
    Say this do not back up from 06:00 to noon? or;
    Is it a third party plug in that allows me to customize the time Machine more?

    Another idea on what just said or it to no return for even the first hour or two when it comes in the morning or even in any time to sleep during the day. Automatically.

    I also have my drive main external file mirroring AND use Super Duper once per day to fool the internal drive (I total plan control) AND back up all files off site (I total plan control). But, Time Machine is also always at hand to get it done. If only I had a little control over it, so she did not have the necessary step back up the minute I sit down. Significantly slow down my work time productive morning!

    Time Machine really shouldn't bog down your machine that badly.

    If Time machine running interferes with your ability to use the machine, then something else is wrong. It shouldn't affect performance in this way.

    If it's all just "annoying"... Well... Why is this a big deal?

    Maybe you should run a report Etrecheck and post the results here. If something is moving your system, which can help us identify what it is.

  • How can I print spare part in a PDF file from command line?

    For my organization, we have a lot of .pdf files, each of which contains several .pdf files in their midst as attachments (i.e. a single .pdf file that contains other .pdf files). I know that I can print a .pdf file with the following command via the command prompt.

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat ' / n/t 'filetoprint.pdf' '\\printerserver\printername '.

    Although this example shows the PDF in question, it does print all attachments in the file 'filetoprint.pdf '. I've scoured google and these forums, but I did not seem to find a switch or anything that would allow me to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? It must be done by the command line. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!

    ~ Justin

    After much research, I found the answer. Start with, rather than using a .bat file, I used the wizard of the Action to set up a script. Then, I put the script to process all the files in a given folder. I changed the folder that will contain all the files in .pdf (including attachments) that I wanted to deal with. Then, I wrote the following javascript code:

    var d = this.dataObjects;

    pp var = this.getPrintParams ();

    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;

    pp.printerName = "\\\printerserver\\printer";

    This.Print (pp);

    var oDoc;

    for (var i = 0; i)< d.length;="">
    {

    oDoc = this.openDataObject (d [i] .name);

    oDoc.print (pp);

    }

    Yes, it isn't command line as I originally wanted, but there is still work for what I need to do. It looks like you can trigger an action from a VBA Macro or something, even though at this point, I think it's more trouble that it's worth. in any case, I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem!

  • How can I prevent the buttons on taskbar to Firefox from popping up?

    I use no legs. I prefer my Web page buttons to align with the bottom of my screen, just like the old days. I'd like to see every page that I opened, instantly, without be hidden. The problem is that when I'm near the buttons, they pop up. It is very annoying when I use a photo editing program and I get near the bottom of the photo and too close to the buttons in Firefox. I'm closer to that then pop up and covers the area of the photo, I'm trying. Is it possible to prevent them from popping up?

  • How can I prevent videos automatically start when I load a web site?

    Recently web sites have begun to show me not only the first shot a video, but from the video automatically when the page is loaded (or when I scroll down to the part of the page where the video).

    A few possibilities:

    1 > you click with the right button on the files and chose to remove them from Lightroom.

    2 > you have created a new catalog, and records that are not part of another catalog.

    Each of these scenarios seem like they could be a possibility?

  • How can I prevent the download Thunderbird automatically emails?

    I do not have thunderbird to automatically download my emails from my server. I want to manually click to receive email. How can I prevent automatic download?

    The above method works for POP accounts, but if the IMAP account and the IMAP server supports the IDLE command, I think that you will receive notifications as soon as they arrive at the server level, regardless of the setting to check the mail.

    And now, whenever I'm in an ip address that I wonder if I want to download the file.

    This happens when the modem server does not send the file in text/html, but with a different MIME type.

    I tried adding index.html in the event that the server can send this file as text/html.

    If your DSL modem has a support Web site, then you can try asking it there advice on how to configure the server modem.

    How can I prevent pictures of my itouch 32G to appear on my ios Iphone6 9.2 child? If I give him his own apple ID then she loses all his music already purchased.

    Is his pictures are showing on your phone, then that implies that she (and you) use the same account iCloud on your devices and are both using photo stream. She could use have and use his account for the parameters > iCloud or that she could not use Photo Stream (settings > Photos & camera on the device)

    Or you can configure the family sharing (if she is under 13 years old you need a credit card to create an account due to the child online protection Act), she should still be able to share purchases that you have made on your account, but future purchases, she would be linked to his account

    The key is that you have to allow this program through your windows firewall.

    Go to your look for the windows Firewall Control Panel,

    There should be a list to allow a program through windows firewall, look at the top left.

    If you feel safe doing this, vlc is not one that I would feel safe with, but to you, it has a function to browse to find the program to be added to your trusted list or access through your firewall.

  • How can I prevent installation of McAfee GUARD during the Flash update?

    I'm under Win8.0, Firefox 34.0.5. I have NO options when I select upgrade - I get a 'Save' option for downloading, after which I have to go to the download folder, select and run the .exe file that installs BOTH the Flash player AND McAfee software updated. I DON'T want McAfee and immediately uninstall it. How can I prevent its installation? Thank you!

    The easiest way is to simply use Internet Explorer, Edge (for Win10) or Chrome, which bundle Flash Player as a component integrated on Win8 and higher, so there is never an installer to download, or an update to install (they are delivered via Windows Update or the update of Chrome, respectively).

    For Firefox, you will need to uncheck the box for McAfee on the download page itself, after which you will get the installation program that is not group McAfee.  I posted much longer explanations on the subject, so I'm not going to come in here, but we invite you to look through my flow for a longer and more eloquent background.
