Whenever I start FireFox 3.6.17 it now loads the Plugin Check page. How can I stop doing that?
I don't know why he started to do today, but whenever I start FireFox version 3.6.17, it loads the page https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
https://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/pluginCheck/
How can I get to stop doing this?
All my plugins are up to date.
Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access this page.
Pref = plugins.update.notifyUser if it shows as true, double-click this pref to toggle it false
If this pref was already set to False, try to disable the QuickTime Plugin, and then restart Firefox, to see if it is the culprit.

Since the installation of Google Chrome, whenever I start to upload photos into my computer, Adobe Photoshop Elements opens upward. How can I stop this from happening? I tried to find a place to disable the plugin Adobe in Chrome, but can't locate. Does anyone have a solution?
Your answer showed no once again, but here are a few things to check:
1. If you hold down the SHIFT key and then connect your camera that should stop the pse to open.
Then go into workstation, do a right-click on the camera (by car), select Properties > AutoPlay and you should be able to change what is happening.
2. glance in the organizer of items in photoshop under Edit > Preferences > camera and card reader and see if the start automatically is checked.
(not all versions of the pse Organizer have that)

I use an online web mapping application that has an entry of descriptive text boxes and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word-processing application in these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste text blocks, Firefox don't the red wavy underline on the words he doesn't know. I already disabled "check spelling as you type" but it does make a difference. I don't want no Firefox to check the spelling on these blocks of text that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture images of these blocks of text display in the mapping application and I want that they own. Thank you.
Hi, cor - el, this isn't have a tick in the context menu. but I think I was just stupid on the problem because I restarted my browser and now the underline is not past. Thanks for the reply.

In earlier versions of Windows, I would allow the address bar appears at the top of any folder that has been opened. I'm on Vista Ultimate SP2 now and I'm not sure if the same name is still assigned to this bar at the top that displays inside the location of the folder structure of windows to the folder that is open.
It is the same field that indicates the status of your search in Vista. This is the area, to which I am referring. In the upper left of the folder.
Whenever I open a folder, it starts what appears to be a search, and the progress of the present poster with the field more in more blue from the far left and go right.
I thought that since that acts of domain the same when I do an actual search, as she does when I open a folder, that maybe Vista makes some sort of search, or perhapes an indexing function. I disabled indexing on my system.
But when even scan darn, or whatever it is, starts on every window I opened. Is it that a folder with pictures, the pictures does not show until scanning, or everything he does ends or is almost finished.
Whenever this address bar starts its thing, I can him an 'X' that appears to the right of the address field. The blue progress bar will suddenly zip through as if it ended, but often nothing happens, like the display of thumbnails for a period after you click 'X'... as if it still makes of anything, that he was not concerned that I hit the 'X '.
Sorry for the length of this post. I'm strugglng to describe my question clearly enough.
If you know what is happening and how to stop it, I'd love to help...
Thanks for the clear explanation. I've never heard of this problem before, but it does not sound like opening the file automatically starts the search function - a problem that could be caused by a number of things. The first that comes to mind is a recent installation program or the Windows Update (or a corruption of the registry) that is causing the problem. We will approach the problem systematically until we discover the problem (with the procedure with the highest probability of success first).
Do you know when this problem started? Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates. If this started recently, I think that this procedure can solve the problem without requiring you need to go further (but I could be wrong, and the problem may be with some corrupted system files that must be identified and repaired).
If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html. You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD. To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation. Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit. Put the CD in the drive and reboot. When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.
If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.
If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking). Then we will check some of your system files:
Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.
While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.
If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer). Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.
This could also be malware (although I have never seeen before a kind). Let us make sure that it is not. In Safe Mode with network (click several times F8 during the boot process) try to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com). Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems). Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft. I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed. Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago). You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Set the scans to be comprehensive analyses and configure the program to fix any problems they find. Restart after you have completed all the scans. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html , as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884. Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs). If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.
I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem. If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else. Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.
Good luck!
If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone). Here is the procedure:

Recently, every time I go in Firefox so on my laptop or desktop, the program stops in response and I can't do any navigation. I tried the "reset to defaults", but on the desktop, it starts and then stops. When I try to restart Firefox, I get the message that they are already running but when I go to the Task Manager to end, it does not appear. I have recently (2 weeks ago) upgraded to Windows 8.1. How can I get the program to run properly?

Whenever I opened a PDF Firefox makes me activate the plugin Acrobat reader. "Allow and remember ' recalls only on a site-by-site basis. How can I get Firefox to always allow Acrobat reader plugin?
This behavior is really boring and too controlling. Although years ago the Acrobat plugin was buggy, it has been stable for a long time. I don't like the Firefox builtin pdf viewer and I want to continue to use the Adobe viewer.
You can set the default behavior in Firefox/tools > Modules > Plugins.

Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.
It's quite strange!

My Dashlane 3.0.3 is incompatible with Firefox 31.0. I meet this problem every time there is a new version of Firefox. In the past, I would go to the archives and get a Firefox from a number of earlier version and load this. For some reason, (probably simple). I will load the lower version and it will automatically install the next version number. I can't stop the automatic updates. I had installed Firefox 30.0 and it worked with Dashlane 3.0.3 but the system automatically downloaded the version more recent 31.0 number and of course, this is inconsistent. Dashlane is not able to write codes fast enough to install in due course to work with Firefox. I did was to say that Firefox was the only browser that I use and I used it for many years. I don't like Crome or IE. You're just a browser better, that's all.
I didn't mean that somewhere, I lost my toolbar in Firefox and could not find a use which was also good. Just an info. You can send me any resolution you can find at: [email protected]
Thank you for your help.You should not use older versions of Firefox, they are insecure, their use can lead to your personal information being stolen. Please update Dashlane to its latest version.
