  • How to completely remove the add-on preferences?

    "Toolbar buttons" extension buttons are displayed incorrectly (buttons in white). Reinstall it also restores the old settings with missing icons. How can I completely reset the extension data and preferences without resetting the other settings of firefox? (I tried to manually remove the file extension too - same result).

    [firefox v33.1.1]

    If you open the topic: page config in the toolbar url and the search for the name of the old addons, you can remove entries from there.

    Also try the Firefox Menu, and then clicking Customize. From here you can drag the icons off and it can record without addons

    If this does not work, there is also a possibility of passage of the profile to another. Backup and restore Firefox profiles information

  • Why FF is recommended to disable the Hotspot shield?

    Hello... I see the warnings of FF on Hotspot Shield. In the last FF and HSS last, I see no problem of stability (18 months ago I wouldn't have said that). But then, there is still this warning.

    The page explaining the warnings seem generic and covers a LOT of things.

    Is there a particular problem these days with allowing the HSS/plugin extension?

    Looks like it might get delivered with unwanted software and not following installation instructions. for use on Firefox. So it will be a case of use at your own risk.

    I guess that if the software is not in conformity with a directive she can break also other guidelines.

  • How to completely remove the Messenger app?

    Hello.

    Anyone know how I can remove the Facebook Messenger of the Cloud application? I want to remove it completely from all my devices and then reinstall it from scratch, but it still shows as yet on the cloud.

    I'm not sure it relevant to this question, but I'm running a Mac OS X El Capitan 2009 and a 6 iPhone on iOS 9.2.1

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    The app is not physically on the cloud, it's just to show that you have downloaded before and you can download it again.

    If you remove the application of the iPad, it deletes everything associated with the application. If redownload you the app, it will always install a new copy and cool app iCloud does not store the app, so you pass never twice the same exact copy. It will be a new copy of the application each time you remove and then reinstall the application.

    In addition, you will need to remove the application from each device, and then start a new download on each device. You can remove an application by pressing your finger on the icon for a few seconds until what apps shake. Press the 'x' to delete. You can also view the sizes and remove apps from settings > General > storage and use iCloud > manage storage (under the storage section) > Messenger > remove app Note If you select storage manage under the section iCould Messenger does not appear.
