Firefox Help page on "blocking cookies" is incomplete and refers to a "tool" menu that does not exist

The following page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Blocking%20cookies?s=blocking+cookies&as=s
is incomplete - please see as example:
"Viewing a list of blocked sites
To see a list of sites that you have blocked from setting cookies: "
There is no text after the colon.
Also the same page refers to selecting a "Tools" menu from the Firefox window(whatever that is?) - in order to get "Page info" so that cookies can be blocked. I can't the Tools menu - clicking on the Firefox (at top left hand of page) does not give this option.
I was looking at this page in order to find out how to permanently block specific cookie sites. I block them when they appear when I have set "accept 3rd party cookes to "keep until" - "ask me every time" - and I also have "clear history when Firefox closes" set. However the blocked addresses are deleted when I come out of Firefox - this is very irritating as there are some cookies I wish to permanently block. This means that every time I open a web site I have to click on "deny" cookie several times - even thought they are the same ones I have blocked in a differenrt session. I prefer to choose what I block as some sites really don't work without their personal cookies - usually to support subscriber log in (e.g to log in to the "New Scientist" site)so "private browsing" doesn't really help and as you have mentioned elsewhere blocking 3rd party cookies can also cause problems

Thank you for "Do Not Track" it's a good start although it will have no effect if the sites ignore it.

Looks like a problem with show for that is only specified for Firefox 3.5 for that section.

  • How to redirect a page that does not exist

    Hello everyone. Thanks for the feedback so far.
    I am editing an old site and there are going to be some pages that do not exist anymore.
    Is there a way to have an automatic redirect so that if any user types in ANY page that does not exist sitewide, they can be directed to another main redirection page which displays a message and then to the main page again?
    The current site is littered with empty pages with a redirect link on each at the moment which does not look good and it's awful to maintain as these non-meaningful filenames the original developer has used are no help at all.
    Thank you in advance for all feedback
    Terry

    What is the web address of the old site?
    If it's on a Linux server then you can use .htaccess rewrites to automate much of the redirection heavy lifting

  • Creating a page that does not exist

    Hi everyone,
    Is it possible to create a page that does not exist based on the user input?
    By does not exist I mean that it is not stored in your computer and JSP will generate the page based on the user input. For example, in forums the user can create a new topic and based on the options selected a page will be created and stored that was not present before. The same thing happens when a message has a large number of replies, in which a new page will be created and attached to the previous page. I hope that I am not misunderstanding the concept of creating pages in forums.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Basil Mahdi

    Hi,
    what happens in the forums is that you type in a message and that message is stored in a database. Along with your message the number of thread, forum number and message number is stored. Next time somebody wants to read your message, this message is taken from the db and shown to you by the jsp. The JSP ofcourse does more thant taht it shows also other messages and static HTML.

  • SP2013: List does not exist / The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user

    There are dozens of entries regarding "

    I am getting the error above after creating a simple list with 4 columns.  the list is created during a new site definition activation but when I click on my list, I get the error above.  the list works if I deactivate the feature and re-activate
    it.  but has the error whenever the new site definition is created.  
    Has anybody encountered this issue on SP 2013?

  • Firefox hangs when a url that does not exist is entered

    If I enter a url that does not exist, either by a typing mistake or clicking on a link that no longer exists (like in google searches), Firefox stops responding. I can't open a new tab, I don't get any message or error. I have to close Firefox. This started happening with Firefox 4 and it appears to happen more with Firefox 5.
    I do not use a proxy so that is not the problem.

    hello, if you type '''about:plugins''' into the address bar of the browser it will show you the list of plugins including their file-path on your system - maybe it's possible to remove it this way...

  • List does not exist . The page you selected contains a list that does not exists. It may have been deleted by another user

    Hi everybody!
    I have a sharepoint 2013 farm with 5 sever. I upgraded a site from sharepoint 
    2007 to sharepoint 2013. I had some problems to install and configure workflow manager and register it. but by now I found problems and I can create a workflow and run it successfully. My big problem is when I try to get a lookup field in my flow. the
    flow suspended and I got the following error:
    “List does not exist . The page you selected contains a list that does not exists. It may have been deleted by another user.”
    Any solution???
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Please make sure the source list of the lookup column and the list which consumes the content from the lookup column exists on the site collection.
    In addition, to correct this problem the following steps should be applied:
    Delete the affected Workflow association
    Go to "Central Administration" - "Application Management"
    Select the affected web application and choose "General Settings" - "Resource Throttling"
    Increase the value configured as "List View Lookup Threshold"
    Perform an iisreset to ensure that all in memory instances of the web application settings are gone
    Add the Workflow association back to the list
    More information is here:

  • Hello buy a movie on apple tv, and now can not find the device tells me I should go to settings / downloads / check downloads, but that does not exist in the menu of the apple tv, please help

    Hello buy a movie on apple tv, and now can not find the device tells me I should go to settings / downloads / check downloads, but that does not exist in the menu of the apple tv, please help

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • Javascript to create bookmark for page that does not exist yet

    Hello all,
    Is there a way to write js for a bookmark that goes to a page that does not currently exist?
    For example, I have a 20 page pdf document.  We have FileMaker Pro that can 'append' to a PDF additional pages.  So when FileMaker pro appends two new pages (bringing us up to 22 pages), I'd like to have 2 'existing' bookmarks in the original 20 page pdf document that will, when clicked, go to page 21 and 22 respectfully.
    Is this possible and would anyone have the JS I would put into that bookmark?
    Thank you in advance!!

    Here's what I posted in the other forum you posted this to, in case it might help someone here:
    The JavaScript would be:
    // Go to page 21
    pageNum = 20;
    If there are fewer than 21 pages, it will go to the last page. If you want to avoid this, you could do something like:
    // Go to page 21 if there are at least 21 pages
    if (numPages > 20) pageNum = 20;

  • Every time I try to download the new Firefox I get this message when it relaunches, " Invalid Request You requested a page that does not exist. You may have reached this page by clicking on an invalid link or bookmark." What should I do?

    This happens with every browser I try to download that isn't the old 3.0 version of Firefox

    "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now" "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If this doesn't help, try ending any Firefox processes and completely restart it. If none of this helps you might consider you could have Malware or something nastier. Connection issues can also cause that error message. I remember having the same issue a couple of years ago and had to completely restart my PC for some reason to get the new Firefox to install. Sorry I don't have any more in depth answer.
    Hope this helped you, have a nice day.

  • Firefox states I need to restart my computer because of an earlier version, but that does not help

    There is a problem with the Firefox I have installed but cannot get it uninstalled. Each time I try to download the complete version, I get a message that says I need to reboot to finish uninstall of previous download. I have rebooted many times, but always receive the same message.

    Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

  • My iphone5 is in the same room with an ipad, 2 kindles and 2 iphone4S and it's the only one that does not have a wifi signal. pls help

    why does my iphone5 not have the same wifi coverage as 2 other iphone4s in the same room?

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple Logo.  If you are still not able to connect try resetting your network settings. Go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings.  If both fail to fix your problem try restarting your router.
