Firefox 5 uses old cookie value

Firefox 5 uses old cookie value created by the server instead of getting the new value whenever the page is accessed. This causes inconsistency in my application as the cookie value should be a fresh one every time i access the page.
Please shed some light if there is a way other than clearing the cookie/cache whenever i access the page inorder to get the fresh value of the cookie?

Firefox 14.0.1 spontaneously stopped reading old cookies- cookies still exist

Firefox 14.0.1 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8
While browsing the internet Firefox decided that I do not have any cookies. I did not quit out of Firefox or change pages when this happened.
I had cookies when the page loaded, then Firefox appeared to have no cookies when I checked cookies in preferences. I had not changed pages, opened a new tab, cleared cookies, cleared history, or quit out of Firefox.
When I did refresh the page I was on, it acted like I had no cookies.
I checked my profile Library > Application Support > Firefox > Profiles > [PROFILE NAME]
My cookies were all still in the cookies.sqlite file.
When I quit Firefox and restarted it, my cookies were still not visible from preferences, and I was logged out of sites like Youtube. New cookies had shown up in the preferences panel from the two sites I tested.
How do I get Firefox to read ALL of my cookies again?

Try to clear the cookies.

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setA

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setActionListener?
I have tried with following code srcpage.jspx->destpage.jspx
srcpage.jspx
<af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"
var="emp" rows="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}">
<af:column sortProperty="EmployeeName" sortable="false"
headerText="Cookie Testing">
<af:commandLink text="#{emp.EmployeeName}" action="success">
<af:setActionListener from="#{emp.EmployeeName}"
to="#{cookie}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
</af:table>
espage.jspx
<af:outputText value="Test Cookie Value: #{cookie}"/>
,Here Test Cookie Value prints the following instead of its original String value
{JSESSIONID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@7da288, oracle.uix=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@399f62}
I have passed employee name "Robert" to cookie in srcpage.jspx,but it prints "JSESSIONID....." instead of "Robert" in destpage.jspx
Thanks in advance

Hi,
"cookie" is a reserved name. If you want to write to a session scope attribute called "cookie" then you have to call #{sessionScope.cookie}. If you want to use EL to set and read from cookies then you will have to use
#{cookie.cookieName}
Note that #{cookie} writes to and returns a map

My old Firefox used to show web addresses at the top near the toolbars, how do I bring that feature back where I can type in a website address?

My old Firefox used to show the website being visited and one could type in a website to change to another website. The new Firefox does not have this feature. How do I change my new Firefox so that I can type in a web address. This used to be at the top of the page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Firefox always says using old version even after running the upgrade programme. Even after uninstalling & reinstalling? Why?

Every time I open Firefox the message "using old version" appears I have tried uninstalling the program and then reinstalling but no change, When I use Firefox as my browser a message appears to say you are using an old version of Firefox. This is just fustrating what can I do to correct?

WHY DOES MY ANTI VIRUS TELL ME FIREFOX IS USEING TRACKING COOKIES ???

TRACKING COOKIES ? DOES FIREFOX USE THEM OR NOT ?? MY ANTI VIRUS SAYS YOU DO ! I AM USING AVG SBS EDITION

Hi - the message you get seems to be about cookies stored by websites. Could you post the exact text of the message here, so we can know for sure what it's saying?
Tracking cookies are stored by websites to track your visits to a website. They are not a threat to your computer, and you can remove cookies at any time by following the steps at [[Deleting cookies]].

My site changes cookie to store user options; worked in v3 but broke in v5/6. How do I change cookie value now?

Some 8 months ago, I started saving user options in my cookie; as user changed options, my php code change the cookie value. I work normally with Camino, but verify with Firefox (V. 3). An associate with a newer MacBook Pro, with Firefox V. 5, tried my site and reported that the option change 'did not take'. I tried using my V.3, and everything worked. Realizing that I should be on V. 6, I upgraded today, and myself verified that the 'new' cookie value is NOT being saved. Rather, a second cookie is being created but with WITH NO VALUE. Result: old cookie has old option value; new cookie has no value. I tried also with Safari, and got this same result. So, there must be a way to update a cookie value, just unknown to me. Please advise as to new/proper header(s) to send from my server to change cookie value.

Make sure that the cookies are created for the proper path.

"The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless." Is this possibly caused by a virus?

I don't know what's wrong with my Mac Mozilla Firefox, version 3.6.8, but today, it started alerting me about an error message on the "Error Console". In every website I visit, it tells me: "The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless." Is this possibly caused by a virus?
I saw a pop-up which did not allow me to click it when I scatter the windows on my Mac. I was using Private Browsing, with pop-ups disabled, but one pop-up managed to get passed my settings, and open in another window. It would not allow me to select it, so all I did was to close Firefox, and start a new session. So far, everything has been normal, I also deleted the cookies it installed.
But, I still keep seeing that "Error Console" notice under my "Tools" on the Menu Bar, and when I clicked on it, it listed errors (such as what I listed above).
Would someone explain this to me?
Thanks for your help!

The messages you see in the Error Console are mostly to assist the web site's author in resolving compatibility problems. Some of them can assist you in determining why a web site doesn't work as intended. The one you mentioned doesn't sound that suspicious, except that it occurs on many sites. Perhaps one of your add-ons is trying to monitor what you type?
To diagnose whether this is caused by an add-on or one of your settings, you could try the following:
First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that resolve the errors? If so, then an add-on usually is the culprit. If not, try creating a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
If the new profile works correctly, you can choose between further research on your old profile or moving key settings like bookmarks from your old profile to the new one. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].

Jsessionid cookie value being reused?

All,
I'm experiencing a session cookie problem when two apps reside on the same server, but different ports.
Suppose I have two browser windows which are different threads under the same process, such as tabs in Mozilla Firefox or a 'parent' and 'child' IE window. If I open two tabs, and navigate to http://myserver:7300/app1 in the first, and http://myserver:7400/app2 in the next, the browser appears to reuse the JSESSIONID value sent from the server in window 1. The headers show:
Window 1:
Request: GET /myapp1/login.do HTTP/1.1 (...)
Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK (...)
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=BqSbl14eLq9VxOTEwzKYuld1VB0Qr17n5rjKBJGxOT4EjpVFnCk9!1415971045; path=/
Window 2:
Request: GET /myapp1/login.do HTTP/1.1 (...)
Cookie: JSESSIONID=BqSbl14eLq9VxOTEwzKYuld1VB0Qr17n5rjKBJGxOT4EjpVFnCk9!1415971045
Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK (...)
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=BqSi212dTTrbYATSSyDfGNmiwC0PNKiGJ7gN0zslyHxSpXTJOsVB!-1687983613; path=/
In the second window the server clearly sends a separate session id, but the browser sends back the cookie received in the first window. This has the effect of preventing the user from using both apps at once in a tabbed browser. The server gets the sessions confused and they get booted out of the first app when they log in to the seond.
Has anyone else seen a similar situation?
Thanks for your help,
Brian

I have this problem in login (using session cookie) between two apps with IE. With Firefox it works fine.
I have two apps, like:
- A: http://this.app.com
- and for testing and education B: http://edu.this.app.com
The problem occurs when I first login to app A and then try to login to app B in same IE-window.
Login to A works ok, but when I login in B, once created session disapperas at followed request.
It seems to happen that when B asks session cookie from IE, IE returns both A's and B's session cookies.
At B request.getSession(false) apparently returns null because it tries to use A's session cookie or being two JSESSIONID session cookies..
When first login to B, there are no problems.
Am I right? Is there any way to use B's session cookie except changing this.app.com to use.this.app.com?

Retrieving old column values from a after delete trigger dynamically

I have a single audit table for deletions
and the table structure has the following columns
1: table_name
2: column_name
3: column_value
I am writing a trigger on tables for which i want to have delete audits and i am dynamicaly
retrieving the column names but i am unable to retrieve the column value dynamically;
I tried to use the following statement but doesn't return the column value
sql_stmt:= 'select :1 from dual';
execute immediate sql_stmt into col_value using
':old.'| |v_col_name;
where v_col_name is the name of the column which i retrieve dynamically using the
dbms_sql.describe_columns procedure.
Is their any way if i can retrieve the old column values in the trigger dynamically if i already
have the column names in variables..
Thanks in advance.
null

I don't know if Kevin's tip Help Mr. Sameer, but it did help me gain access to pre-deleted row column values.
I did discover, however, that if the columns from the about-to-be-deleted row are used as inserts into another table, Oracle serves up a nasty-gram informing the user that values from the about-to-be-deleted table are unreliable.
I was able to circumvent this constraint by assigning the about-to-be-deleted column values to local PL/SQL varables, then perform the insert using the variable values.

Firefox uses too much CPU when displaying flash sites

When I have a site with flash and/or java open, firefox uses minimum 40% of my CPU power, even when I'm doing nothing, when firefox is idle and waiting for input.
P.S. This could be a recent issue, probably related to the newest version of firefox, however I haven't tried downgrading it because I don't have the old version package in my cache. (cleaned it a while ago)

Of course it is, but there isn't much we can do about it, isn't it? Therefore I suggested firefox3, to alleviate things a little (it does it for me). Flash doesn't even work at all for me in Opera, I only get a grey window where the video should be.
Bye, signor_rossi.
The newest version of flash Plugin only works with Opera 9.5 beta. If you want to use flash with the stable Opera find an older version of the flash plug in.
Thanks for the hint, will keep that in mind in the case I will switch to Opera again (used it for a while because Firefox2 scrolling was bad, with 3 it is much better). Besides, there is a new flash version in the repos.
Bye, signor_rossi.

How is the JROUTE cookie value determined?

Would it be possible for someone to describe in detail the algorithm used by the libpassthrough.so to generate the 4-character JROUTE cookie value when load balancing across SJS AS 8.1 EE UR2 instances? Is it a hash or some other encoding on the instance name specified in the loadbalancer.xml config file?
We are using a cluster of many web servers against a cluster of 9 appserver instances in a single logical appserver cluster without session persistence, and would like to be able to quickly identify to which appserver instance a given jsession ID and JROUTE combo maps to aid troubleshooting / debugging efforts.
We're using SJSWS 6.1SP4 with the libpassthrough.so distributed with JES appserver patch 119166-12. And, as you can deduce from the patch, we're using SJSAS 8.1 EE UR 2, patched to 8.1_02 (build b14-p05).
Thanks,
Matt

Set variable from cookie value

Hi,
I have a website that saves a cookie to your browser when you log in,
The cookie value is the name of the user.
I want to see if I can read this value in captivate and set it as a variable in the content therefore no need to re-enter details in the content.
I have tried to tackle this using JS but my experience is limited.
Im using Cp8.
Thanks in advance...

Hi VC, thanks for reply,
//try to set the value and see if it works
$s('P1_ID_PER_KND_NA_CRYPT','A422313E7F62D04D12347E7DE85DC53E')doesn´t work either, firebug brings up no error but i get an checksum error for this element from the apex engine, I will test the Apex internal GetCookie Function but my own function work very well too, the error is after that...
what i see, i also get the checksum error when using the varibable id_per_knd_na, too.
so i think, javascript tries to set the value to the hidden element, but the apex engine prvented it because of SSP.
Any other ideas?
ps: i use apex 4.0.2

Replacing Cookie value

Hi,
I need to change a cookie value.
My cookie is a session cookie.Its not persistent cookie.
Still i m not able to change the value of it.
It always reflects the old value.
I tried expiring the cookie.
Overriding the cookie value by creating a new instance with same name but different value.
Many Thanks in advance
Abhay

This has nothing to do with your problem but if dayExpires is a positive number, this would be a persistent cookie. If you want a cookie which will expire when the browser exits, you would just set maxAge to -1 (or any negative number).
I don't see why you are still getting the old value back. Is this how you set the cookie originally?
