Firefox Configuration Help - General Questions and Answers

I've been using Firefox as my browser for a long time now. All of a sudden, it is refusing to connect to certain websites that I visit regularly. I get a warning screen that reads, "This Connection is Untrusted."
In the reading that I've done on this, it looks like Firefox now looks to see if there is an https:// in front of the URL. If not, or if there is mixed content, it returns this warning. Sometimes the screen allows you to click a link at the bottom that reads "I understand the risks" and then you can setup a permanent exception to the rules and visit the site without any issue. Other times, they don't give you the option. When that happens there doesn't appear to be any way to get the site to load.
Does anyone know how to turn these warning off? I've looked in about:config, but I haven't found a setting.

Sorry about that. It's the Android app. I'm running it on a Sprint Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.0.1.

[Resolved] LauncherPro dead? whats going on?

I'm posting this here because the LauncherPro forum is dead.
So I'm wondering, is LauncherPro Dead? The developer discontinued it? Can anybody give me some insight to why things are the way they are.
I'm new to the whole launcher scene, so I dont know the developer, i dont know the history of the site. At the moment im a customer whos paid, and got nothing but a failure of a site.
I bought pro few days ago, Direct Debit no eCheck nonsense, so payment is instant, (i buy a bunch of stuff direct debit and all come back instant). I received the unlock code email but the code didnt work, figured they'd be a delay.
Tried later, still not working...
Tried going to main website (launcherpro.com) and I get an error.
Access to the web page was denied.
HTTP Error 403 (Forbidden): The server refused to fulfill the request.

Tried going to the forums (launcherpro.com/forum/)

Tried going to the support (support.launcherpro.com)
Forbidden

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request..

So anyway figured they were having issues. Come back days later, Key still not working. Websites still not working, I had to proxy through just to post. Assuming outside US connections are being rejected for specific location requests.
I go to the request page, put in my email and get the lovely:
Sorry, we couldn't find that email address in the database. Please make sure you entered it correctly and try again.

How is this even flipping possible lol I get an email saying thank you! Here is your paypal email, here is your code, then later its like "oh no idk who you are!".
Email Fede, no reply, emailed again, replied saying go to the support forum. I would if I could flipping access it. So proxied through to support forum, posted a message, get an email confirming post: "Your support ticket ID is xxxx....", I click the link and hilariously get:
Error:
Ticket not found! Please make sure you have entered the correct tracking ID!

Why is the launcherpro system so messed up? Should I consider this a dead project and move on, loyalty is out the window.
I post here because this site is lively and hopefully I might get some clue as to what is going on, the launcher pro forums are like a wasteland.
What the hell you talking about man? check again works fine it maybe in your end.
No issues here accessing the site. I'm outwith the US.
If you can't access his site, how do you expect the code to be accepted? It contacts the server, so something is wrong between you and his server. But his box is fine and online.
Resolved The problem lied with DNS usage on ISP's in my area (Talktalk, Sky) which were not refreshing the new site but loading the old server, which was causing me to come up with the above post as the old server has not been used for 2 weeks, but is still accessible and not yet redirected. (Which it should be to prevent these sorts of issues) After changing to Google DNS I was able to get onto the site without the need of proxies.
I'd be happy for this thread to be locked.

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

What!? I didnt know thats even possible! Spotify app for android got 100000x more useful for me. I can finally skip forever and even fast forward the music. Its sooo much better. You deserve a medal and million likes. :laugh:
Op pls can you upload this mode in a diff site cos mega is down. And secondly can you help me with little explanation as to how to install this or all I need is to just install the apk after the download. I haven't installed spotify b4 that's why . Thanks for the response in advance

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.
Server is down

I've downloaded the apk for mega, and also tried to access the website. But it refuses to open the website or allow me to login to the app. Hence the servers are actually down. Op if possible can u post it on a different cloud?. Thank you for this amazingly brilliant apk!

Op u can as well check again, it's no longer a news that mega is down for now. You see people testifying. You can check up urself
@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.
Works like a charm, thank you

NeedROM.com

The Registration process on Needrom.com is not working for me (No password sent to me to get into the site, which also stops you contacting them to let them know of your problem!), anyone else finding that?
Thanks

How do you expect anyone here to do anything about it. XDA is not and does not associate with needrom, it is not even allowed to post links here from needrom. That's something you'll have to take up with them. Try using a different PC or device to register there then contact them about the issue.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
To help others, if they pick up this thread, I have found that if you register on needrom using Microsoft Edge, whilst it appears to complete, you do not get the email enabling your account. If you use another browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox etc) it works fine.
I cannot explain why.

I would be careful. That site is not trusted and has been known to include malware in the roms they post.

Account action required/sync not working

Hello XDA! Since yesterday on my HTC 10 running a custom ROM(don't know if it makes a difference) I get this notification from Google play services. It says account action required and when I tap on it, it asks for my Gmail and password. I put in the right combination and pretty much nothing happens.
The big problem is that almost no Google app works now. YouTube, G+, Hangouts etc. Chrome and others do work tough.
I tried putting in a wrong password and it definitely knows that it's the wrong one so I'm thinking I'm not being hacked.any ideas?
I forgot to add that in settings and Google account it says that sync isn't working, will be back shortly. It's been a whole day though.

Still getting popup adds, no aps open

The latest wrinkle in this ongoing problem is ads with soundtracks! They just start going off when I'm on my phone, and if I'm in public they can be really annoying to those around me! I've read the only thread on the subject posted last year where someone suggested an ap call configAPK be found and removed. I did that but I'm stilling ads. Someone suggested hit the Recent key on the navigator in order to find the source of the ad, like what app put it out, but I didn't understand the instruction. Some members even blamed Samsung for doing the, but how would their doing this not simply drive everyone to consider an Apple phone?

Thanks so much. This will keep me busy for a while!
It's odd that this is going on. Apps are hijacking our phones and getting away with it! Actually, I'm surprised advertisers are doing this. Do they really think people will read their ads, or just get get pissed and boycott!? Half the time I don't even know who the advertiser is because my kneejerk response is instants "delete"!

Just in reference to the recent apps method you mentioned it's just another way to get into app settings through settings - apps.

I'm still working on the process in the link.
Today I hit the Recent button after a video ad and found BeiTaPlug. I planed to Google it but saw your response and had to check it. Later I saw Smart Scan there, which I know i suspicious, by virtue of having a Scan prefix. I can find the latter but not the former. It appears to be a plug in but where would I find plugins?
