@MattSpeller I'm glad they worked well for you! We had two of them and neither of them were all that great, but they did work, at least.

Heaven forbid your check is late for the maintenance fee, lol.

And we all sees it!

@scottalanmiller I have noticed this trend. So I was assuming my command is right. Now @Lakshmana has 3 additional IT guys to back him up if his boss says that command doesn't completely uninstall Firefox.

@StrongBad Just doing a sanity check on that command --thanks. His boss seems to think that it does not uninstall the default version of Firefox that ships with Ubuntu.

@StrongBad Yepp.

apt-get autoremove firefox

Completely uninstalls the version of firefox and all associated addons that ships with it, right?

Then I am using the same tar.bz2 file that he is from a web site (I'll have to look up the URL, but I can get it if you want it).

On my system, it does not prompt me to update at all. It does however, still let me go in and manually update. I am looking into ways to hide that button, as I know it can be done.

@Lakshmana We haven't got that far yet. We are still trying to get it to not automatically update for you. I will be back in the office again on Monday.

I have been helping him out with this. When I change the channel-prefs.js file on my Ubuntu 14.04 system (same setup that he is using), mine no longer asks me to update.

The scripted commands he gave above are exactly the way that I did it on my system. This is done in the /opt/firefox/31.0/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js

@scottalanmiller Send the bill to the company that sends you the text messages.

I'll help test out for stage one at least!

Back from Atlanta, and buried under mounds of emails and forum responses to read!

I'm getting ready to head out to SecureWorld 2015 in Atlanta. Anybody else sneaking out for a trip?

@handsofqwerty If you want somebody to help you get it out of your car, you can always drive it over to my house. I'll be glad to take it out of your car (and put it underneath my desk at home).

@scottalanmiller Before long, our watches will just project a hologram onto our arm (http://cicret.com/wordpress/), another surface(https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/touchjet-pond-turn-any-surface-into-a-touchscreen#/story -- this one isn't a phone, but I like the concept), or into thin air for us to tap and use...

@nadnerB Bowling Shoes!

@Dashrender Yes. Pets don't like to be left alone for extended periods of time.... (Read: My house is like an episode of Tom & Jerry while we are gone).

@scottalanmiller Owch owch owch. Hopefully you got it recovered before they cleaned you out!

@scottalanmiller Until you try to use it in your web browser, lol.

@JaredBusch Hopefully you will turn a little profit on selling the house?

@Breffni-Potter I dislike secrecy -- especially in the government... If the government is going to do something, at least be bold enough to tell the public about it... Even if it is after the fact. Otherwise it comes out as a "leak" around election time and detracts from the real issues that the American public is facing.

@Danp Everybody brings a pot of food, and you're lucky if one or two of them are edible?
