Firefox has not been saving any of my preferences when I close the program in addition to resetting to a manual proxy that does not connect every time I re-open the program

For a while now, every time I close the program and later reopen it, it attempts to utilize a proxy I didn't set for it. It does not connect and ends up not going anywhere. I then change the settings to no proxy and continue...however this is very irritating. Additionally, I cannot seem to change my homepage permanently, so I believe the issue involves Firefox not saving information when it closes. Not sure how to fix that though, as I have tried reinstalling it with little effect.

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

  • How can I stop Firefox from re-setting its internet connection configuration every time I re-open the browser? It should stay at "no proxy" but doesn't.

    In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • WSDL for WSDL based Proxy that does not have any input

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a service which is based on a db adapter. The db adapter is created using a procecure that does not accept any input and gives out a cursor. I have created a
    proxy based on a wsdl which was created by me. I have not given any soap:body in the input as I dont have any input for this service. When I test the service it is not going into the
    request pipeline instead what ever the input (Here input in the sense even the proxy does not have any input as per the wsdl we need to give some xml tag to test it right?)
    to the proxy service is getting echoed back. It is neither going inside the request pipline nor Invoking the business service. When I create a proxy service as a plain xml then It is
    working fine. I am very confused and donno what to do.. Kindly help me on this.
    thanks

    it depends on the selection algorithm you have on the proxyservce
    on the fourth tab you can dispatch based on soapaction/body/header/etc
    you could dispatch on the soapaction and skip the body

    Apple will not send you password reset requests in an email. It is likely a phishing email trying to get your personal or security information. Ignore the request and send the email to trash. Do not provide any personal or security information in response to the email. Do not click on any links in the email.

  • Will not complete update, automaticly or manualy. Tries everytime I start up and takes about fifteen minutes and tell me it will not work and t try manual. That does not work either and I cannot delete it.l

    What do you want to know? I have no more details

    I found someone with an install disk and ran Repair Disk. It said that the disk was ok. I also ran repair permissions and one of the lines was a warning and said: SUID file System/Library/Coreservices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired. After fixing all that I could with that, I restarted and my computer showed minor improvements, but is not functioning anywhere near the optimal speed it was a while ago.
    However, I did download iDefrag and checked the defragmentation of the disk. Over 50% of the disk was fragmented. I'm thinking of burning a bootable cd and running idefrag demo or drive genius 2 demo off of that. would that be a good plan

    how can I install silverlight for netflix? Everytime I get there, the computer freezes just when I'm about to press 'install.'

    Maybe this will help.

  • "This card was purchased in a country that does not match your Adobe ID"

    I bought a creative cloud plan from 500px, but when I try to redeem the license code I get the following message: "This card was purchased in a country that does not match your Adobe ID. You can try signing in with a different Adobe ID or get in touch with us if you need help".
    500px did not sell this to me as a product which could only be used in the USA.
    This question has been posed previously - suggestions include changing the country associated with your adobe ID. However I have doubts as to the legality of this as why else would this restriction be in place if it were not for tax reasons.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

  • How to map a url that does not match with the context root  ?

    does weblogic support url that does not match the context root ?
    ex. the context root is AAA. the welcome page can be
    retrieved using http://localhost:7001/AAA
    Can it be configured to use http://localhost:7001/BBB to bring up the index.html in context root AAA ? if so, how ?

    I agree with Imp68.
    It still amazes me that in 2014 so many web sites are still not standards-compliant and instead insist on sniffing for the user-agent.  And, in the majority of cases, I've found that the websites work fine with any modern browser.
    phardell,
    To be clear, Safari is not the problem, the website is!  The developer of this website is still living in the 1990s and needs to move forward with the times.  Imp68's suggestion will cause Safari to "pretend" to be whatever browser you wish.  Try choosing "Safari 7" if that worked for you in the past and the website will likely go back to working.  If that does not work then try choosing "Internet Explorer 10" from the menu and see if that works.
    No matter what the result, you should look at the bottom of the page for a link to report problems with the website.  Submit a comment that tells them that they need to "modernize your website to support all modern web browsers".
    Good luck.

  • How do I create an executable for a computer that does not have IVI drivers

    I'm creating an executable driver (based on the NI drivers) for a TDS 3054 intended for a computer that does not have the IVI engine. I would prefer to install as little software on this computer as possible. Is it possible for me to build the driver with the appropriate support DLL's without installing IVI on the user's computer? How do I do this?
    Thank you,
    Zach Oberman

    Zach,
    Since the tkds30xx driver you are using is IVI based, you will not be able to use it without the IVI Engine.
    If you must build an executable that does not require the IVI Engine, then you will need to use a traditional LabVIEW driver or convert a VXIpnp driver into LabVIEW. Neither of those drivers would require the IVI Engine.
    At this time the only TDS 3054 driver on NI's IDNet website is the IVI-based tkds30xx driver.
    You may be able to obtain a traditional LabVIEW driver from

  • Can't open MMC - An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist

    I have a Windows 7 Pro, x64 - I'm trying to open the MMC and I get the error:
    An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.
    Ok, I open a cmd prompt (elevated), goto the \windows\system32 dir and run the command:
    For /F %s in (‘dir /b *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %s
    And I just get "the system cannot find the file 'dir.
    I have no idea what this means.  Many others who have ran that command have had success (from looking at other forums).  Just my luck - it doesn't work.
    What do you think could be wrong here?

    For /F %s in (‘dir /b *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %s
    And I just get "the system cannot find the file 'dir.
    I have no idea what this means.
    It means you have a bug in your script and because of the bug the script tried to look for a file named "dir".
    So what's the /F for in the script?
