How to revoke given permission in Chrome and Firefox? - firefox

One of the new APIs made available to developers is Geolocation API. As it's been defined in Specification, any browser should take the express permission of the user when revealing his/her geographic position to the surfed website. However, it's also been said that user can revoke that given permission at any time. I searched almost everywhere in Chrome and Firefox and I didn't find any place to revoke given permissions. Does anyone know how should I do that? (This is also the case in Contacts API)

chrome://settings/content has a section that allows you to revoke location permissions.

For Firefox: Right-click the page, "View Page Info", there go to the "Permissions" tab. The entry you are interested in is "Share Location".
Edit (2016-05-12): In current Firefox versions you can also click the info icon next to the location bar. This will show you all the special permissions you've granted the current page and will allow changing them.
This approach works in Chrome as well, there you click the document icon next to the site name. Difference is that Chrome will show you a list of all permissions, not just the ones you've granted already.

In Android Chromium (default Android browser; usually called "Browser" or "Internet") you must go to Settings > Privacy > Remove private date, check Location access and click OK.
In Android Chrome open Menu (HW button or top-right button) and go to Settings > Advanced > Content settings > Website settings and uncheck Location access under each website you want to reset the settings.
For Android Firefox go to the page with location access and long press the URL bar (it have to be highlighted while you press it). In popup menu choose Edit site settings, check the Share location and click Clear.
And in Android Opera you must delete all web data (Menu > Settings > Clear Browsing data > Clear Cookies and Data).

In Chrome you can just click the document that is to the left of the URL in the address bar and change all your different privacy settings, including geo tag, from there.

In Chrome, the most straight-forward way to manage location settings for a site is to:
Enter the site
Click the crosshair symbol (position indicator, ⌖) that is second on the right:

In Chrome, on the address bar there will be a padlock or a info button. Click on it and it will open a popup with option of drop down next to Location. If location service is already given permission then Block option will be available to revoke it.

How do I disable Firefox gestures?

I hate Firefox gestures, I just want to click, but if my move shake during click it happens a mess!
How do I disable firefox gestures?
You need to change the configuration, which you can do by typing about:config in the address bar and press the "Enter", just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning just confirm.
Filter the available settings to the gesture-related settings by typing browser.gesture in the search bat at the top of the page.
Doubleclick on the relevant settings, and delete their contents if you want to disable them.
Close the about:config-tab once you're done.

CRM Advanced Find all the icons in wrong place

I've just loaded up the advanced find and I cant click on half the icons/drop downs as they are all in the wrong place. It works fine on other servers and other machines. It appears as if its a CSS problem. Any Ideas
I had the same problem in Firefox. (In private mode, there was no problems.)
Steps to fix it:
Goto/Open the CRM Site
Open Developer Tools
Go to Console Tab
Enter the following command:
localStorage.clear(); // remove all of localStorage's properties
Several users reported this issue, the cause is not clear yet, however these are the suggested steps:
1) Try with another browser
2) Clean the browser cache
3) if CRM site is inside the Internet Explorer compatibility mode list remove it
4) if CRM site is not inside the Internet Explorer compatibility mode list add it
localStorage.clear();
This did the job for me on Chrome
For Edge, a less severe fix is:
From the CRM app tab or window, F12 for Debugging tools
Select the Application tool from the tool bar,
Expand Local Storage on the left,
Below that select the line that has the URL for your CRM
Right-click, select Clear.
Restart Edge.
Open Edge settings
Click the Reset Settings button
Restart session
Go to Internet Options
Go to Security Tab
Click On Trusted Sites then Sites and Add CRM Site to Trusted items
Recommended to click on Custom Level and disable Pop-Up Blocker
Now Problem is solved

Access 2013: Disabled Mode

I am having a great deal of difficulty identifying the source a problem I am having with "disabled mode" in MS Access 2013. I have read all of the support literature for 2007, 2010, and 2013 pertaining, and none of it is productive in solving the issue.
When I go to perform any sort of modification query in one of my database files I get the "The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode" message at the bottom bar. There is no message bar that comes up and asks me if I want to enable the content, despite this option being checked in the trust center. I have also tried going into the File>info backstage view, however, there is no "enable" button here either as reported in the 2013 help document.
Possibly the most telling characteristic of this problem is that it is not manifested in the original database of which the current database is an exact copy. I'm not sure what to make of this though.
Enable database content for a session
To enable database content for a session, you use the Message Bar.
The Message Bar
The Message Bar appears just under the Ribbon, and is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface. If the Message Bar is not visible, you must first show the message bar. In some cases, you will also have to enable the Message Bar. Once the Message Bar is visible and enabled, you can use it to enable database content for a session.
Step 1: Show the Message Bar
If the Message Bar is already visible, you can skip this step.
On the Database Tools tab, in the Show/Hide group, select the Message Bar check box.
If the Message Bar check box is disabled, you will have to enable it.
Step 2: Enable the Message Bar
If the Message Bar check box is enabled, you can skip this step.
1.Click the Microsoft Office Button Office button image, and then click Access Options.
2.In the left pane of the Access Options dialog box, click Trust Center.
3.In the right pane, under Microsoft Office Access Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings.
4.In the left pane of the Trust Center dialog box, click Message Bar.
5.In the right pane, click Show the Message Bar in all applications when content has been blocked, and then click OK.
6.Close and reopen the database to apply the changed setting.
Step 3: Enable database content for a session
1.In the Message Bar, click Options.
2.In the Microsoft Office Security Options dialog box, click Enable this content, and then click OK.

Enable a database by default
To specify that a given database is trustworthy and should be enabled by default, make sure that the database file is located in a trusted location. A trusted location is a folder or file path on your computer or a location on your intranet from which it is considered safe to run code. Default trusted locations include the Templates, AddIns, and Startup folders. You can also specify your own trusted locations.
Tip If you want to know the path of the current database, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Manage, and then click Database Properties. The full path of the current database's location is listed on the General tab of the Database Properties dialog box.
Move a database file to a trusted location
Open the folder where the database file is currently located, and then copy the database file into the trusted location that you want.
Specify a trusted location
1.In the Message Bar, click Options.
2.At the bottom of the Microsoft Office Security Options dialog box, click Open the Trust Center.
3.In the left pane of the Trust Center dialog box, click Trusted Locations.
4.To add a network location, in the right pane, select the Allow Trusted Locations on my network check box.
5.Click Add new location.
6.In the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog box, do one of the following:
In the Path box, type the full path of the location that you want to add.
Click Browse to browse to the location.
7.To specify that subfolders of the new trusted locations should also be trusted, select the Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
8.Optionally, in the Description box, type a description for the trusted location.

Visual Studio 2010 Preview in multiple browsers

Is there any extension or feature in VS2010 for previewing in multiple browsers (at the same time) the same as there is in Microsoft Expression Web 4? I know there is the "Default Browser Switcher" extension but this only lets you view one browser at a time.
Cheers
Will
When you right click on the page to do the "Browse With...", you can set multiple defaults. Once you have added in multiple browsers to the list, you can CTRL Click each one you want (to highlight multiples). Once the desired ones are highlighted, click "Set as Default". From then on, whenever you hit "Browse" it should open in all your "Default" browsers you highlighted.
I have found a solution on how to preview a MVC application in multiple browsers by adding a few answers together.
What you do is add an .aspx page into your project and set this as the startup page when you run the project.
Then with your project set it so that you are automatically redirected to another page, be it "Login" or a "Home" page.
The last step is to use #Walls answer

Now when you run the project it will start up all of your default browsers for testing.

firefox brand new “new tab page” - how to see/edit blocked/pinned items?

While it's simple to pin/block a link-screenshot in the new beautiful tab page in firefox I see no way to edit the list of blocked/pinned items, does anybody know how to do it?
E.G. I blocked a page but now I woukld like to unlock, how to do it?
Thanks.
This is for FF17 on Windows, Mac/Linux users cf below
To unlock a blocked page quit Firefox, download sqlitebrowser at sourceforge.net (~6MB as of now, Windows only), use it to open chromeappsstore.sqlite in your "Profiles" directory. On Win Vista that's eg:
[DRIVENAME]:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\
Firefox\Profiles\[ALPHANUMERICSTRING].default\chromeappsstore.sqlite
Switch to the "browse data" tab, open the edit view of the value corresponding to the "pinned links" key (double click on it). Replace one entry (eg a null) with
{"url":"YOUR_URL","title":"YOUR_TITLE"}
apply changes, save changes.
There's a key "blocked links", too. Intuitively, deleting blocked urls from its value should help, but it didn't when I tried. The trick above is clumsy, but so far I couldn't google anything more elegant. I couldn't find anything useful searching Firefox' about:config tab, either. I found this solution when doing a string search for the blocked url in my profiles directory.
Mac/Linux users should find other sqlite browsers. When using the firefox addon SQLite Manager you would need to make a copy of the database file first and edit that. Afterwards quit Firefox and replace the old file with the new one.
Here's the bugzilla entry ("Bug 722234 - [New Tab Page] provide an option to undo remove a site "), status is assigned, not solved. On comment reads: "Currently, there is now way to undo removal of a site or resetting the page using the new layout."
There's an easier way to do it without downloading, especially for people who may not navigate computers very well. Mozilla does have a way to do it, they just label it poorly and it's a bit roundabout.
Make the page you blocked on your new tabs page a Favorite, then click and drag to an empty space on your new tab page and it will autopin. The one downside is that if you unpin it the site will disappear again. I was frustrated for weeks after I removed Google and there doesn't seem to be much help out there that's simple.
"Make the page you blocked on your new tabs page a Favorite"
What does that mean? Bookmark?
I clicked the PIN icon on a couple and instead of pinning it, it seemed to completely remove that page from the New Tab selections altogether...and indeed, I see no way to get it back. Why would pinning something take it away!? And they were pages I use many times every day; very disappointed.
And those that I clicked ARE in my bookmarks ('Favorites' is an IE term), but they have not reappeared as suggested above.
The sqlitebrowser approach above is too complex and I can see it going awry trying to get all that right. Sad day here for me.
