I have a publishing site on SP 2013. When viewed with Firefox, users get a message:

Allow site.xzy.com to run "Microsoft Office?

How do I disable this?

I thought this was the "client integration" setting, and have already disabled that, but the message still appears.

edit: as noted below, I want to disable this so it doesn't appear for any users. It's a publishing site, and users will not be interacting with office docs of any kind.

  • As Moe mentioned, to disable this alert You need to always active the Microsoft Office 2013 15.0.4420.1017 Plugins. The plugin allows you to have a better experience with Microsoft SharePoint.

  • This is a publishing site that will be viewed by non-employees. I don't want a permissions pop up confusing and distracting the users. And I don't want to have to send out a message to 1000 non employees with special instructions so they can view a website. Again, it's just a publishing site; they will not be using any MS office functionality by design.

Got it. Add the following script to the head to override the functions that add the activex:

//get rid of name.dll reference 
function ProcessImn() { }
function ProcessImnMarkers() { }

Activate the plugin from the browser's plugin settings. Use Always Activate option. There's a similar thread on MSDN with a picture.

  • Thanks, but I want to disable it so this message doesn't appear for anyone. It's a publishing site; users will not be interacting with office docs at all.
