The fact my system setting for autoplay was off meant it never triggered, but damn damn damn dropbox for screwing with my system settings – I don’t want my nudie selfies on a third party cloud.
In dropbox under Prefs>Import, there is no option to disable this – you have to select something. Either the dropbox install, or since then when looking at settings, changed the options for videos, pictures and mixed content to “import videos and pictures with dropbox”. Under autoplay eveything *was* set as blank – no default selected (this is on Win7). I have autoplay turned off (and autoruns stopped via policy management). me being at the ass-end of the world I’ll be the last to get it :) When and if the dll turns up, I’m going to remove admin privileges to user/appdata/local/dropbox
WHAT IS A DROPBOX PLUGIN UPDATE
While this takes care of Dropbox Update at this point in time, it may re-add itself at a later point in time, for instance after an update similar to how the Google Update plugin is picked up regularly by Firefox. The same is true if you check plugins on about:addons. If you refresh the listing on about:plugins afterwards, you should notice that Dropbox Update has been removed from the browser. Select the npDropboxUpdate3.dll file and delete it from the Dropbox folder. Note: If you want to be on the safe side, backup the file first so that you have the means to restore it should the need arise. Open the folder on your system using Windows Explorer or another file browser and locate the references file. It was C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\Dropbox\Update\1.3.27.15\npDropboxUpdate3.dll in my case. There you find listed Dropbox Update and the plugin's full path on the system. Load about:plugins to display detailed information about plugins in the browser. This is done on the About Plugins page in Firefox. I checked first if the Dropbox app has a preference to disable the plugin but that is not the case.įirst thing you need to do is find out where the plugin is loaded from.
