I can't disable ScratchPad -- it opens over and over again. I'm going to quit using Firefox if this can't be resolved. It is soooooooooooooooooo annoying!

Scratchpad opens constantly. and I have to close it and tell it I don't need to save whatever it thinks is on it! I want to TURN OFF developer tools - I am not a developer.

How do I stop this annoying Scratchpad from opening constantly!

Please do the following to disable scratchpad:

  1. Enter about:config in the Firefox address bar to enter configuration mode
  2. Click the I promise button
  3. Locate the devtools.scratchpad.enabled boolean
  4. Change the value to false
  5. Restart Firefox

Does this solve the problem? Please let us know.

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 22.0.0.192 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.626

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download.

Fred again update your generic clipboard reply for Flash Player as those Flash versions are the previous versions.

22.0.0.209 (Win & Mac) and 11.2.202.632 (Linux) have been the current since July 12.

Also for Windows users especially the https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (will be up till Fall sometime?) is the better place to download Flash Player from as Windows users can get bundled stuff if not careful on get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
