I can't disable the download confirmation dialog even if I chose to "do this automatically for files like this from the.
I would like to make it easier to download and open gmail word files that I use in firefox. So, for word files I selected for 'Open with' and free office and marked "do this automatically for files like this on." But I still not this confirmation dialog box whenever I click on a URL/doc/docx doc in gmail http://screencast.com/t/K8T2zbAY.
Is it not possible to have the files open automatically without confirmation (as his possible in chromium for example)
Hi KasperPrentow, Yes, it can work. If I go to "Always ask" to "Use Microsoft Word (default)" for DOC files and click on results in the following search, I don't get the dialog box:
https://www.Google.com/search?q=filetype%3Adoc+site%3Amicrosoft.com
To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?
Create a new Firefox profile
It will have your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash), but not of themes, extensions, or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.
Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
When you create a new profile, I recommend using the location suggested default and to avoid data loss, do not re - using any folder existing. Before deleting useless profiles, I suggest you make a backup first in case something go wrong.
Firefox remembers better in the new profile?

How can I disable the auto-hide known file attachments and why are they always about 10 Web pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?

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 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!

How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?
How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.
Hello
Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.==========================================
If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)
Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET
This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.
The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.
Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.
I hope this helps.

Inspiron N7010 can not disable the Touchpad
I have an Inspiron N7010, Windows 764 bit, it was determined that the hard drive was once again, therefore, dell sent me a new hard drive, I made an image of the system on an external hard drive, then installed the new hard drive without any problem. BUT after getting thru all the updates I noticed the touchpad has been activated and I always use a usb mouse, so I like the touch pad disabled.
She used to take a minute to turn it off, now nothing works going on at the control panel and mouse properties gives me NO option to turn it off, I'm pretty sure that the last time this happened a Dell technician downloaded a different driver and it sets like that, but I don't remember for sure. I went to Dells driver support and let Dells Diagnostic scan my computer and tell me what I need drivers. I down load them and installed what he said and it came that I already had newer drivers than those it says to download, I just download them anyway to make sure and NOT luck.
Is there maybe another driver I'm missing, or could I do something out of order, when I installed the new hard drive and loaded my system from the last hard disk image? Everything went very well, I thought, I have NO problem with my mouse external, other that I can not disable the touchpad or the touchpad and it makes me crazy lol. I sincerely appreciated any ideas or help with this.
Thank you in advance!
I GOT MY ANSWER!
I found my driver and Utilities disc provided with my computer and found the touchpad on the disk driver and installed it on my computer and after restarting, I went to my mouse and presto, now I have the RIGHT driver, so I'm HAPPY to REPORT that THIS has been RESOLVED!
Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
