Firefox is creating endless copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it

I just installed 9.0.1 and it continually creates copies of C:\Documents and Settings\Catain Kirk\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\afbrfhnj.default\Cache ... how do I stop it !!!
I'm running Windows XP Version 5.1 SP3.

Hi,
That is the disk cache of Firefox, where contents of loaded pages are kept for faster retrieval and it also helps to conserve bandwidth. To disable this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''', check (tick) '''Override automatic cache management ''' and put the value at zero.

  • How do I locate 5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01 and what does it mean?

    I am just wondering how I can locate this ~5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01~ what is it and what are profiles...on mozilla I have someone remotly doing things to my computer I didn't sign up for,

    1. This is where your main Profile folder is located:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    2. Secondary location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Local Settings\Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    No, don't delete that folder or the files in it. Those files would be re-created the next time you open Firefox. Those files are necessary.
    3. Firefox put that file there, so it knows its' there. Delete it and Firefox will download that data all over again, and put it back in that folder.
    4. Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in the main Profile folder, since the Firefox 3 versions.
    Some of those files have been moved around from one major version of Firefox to the next to improve various aspects of "performance" and also to minimize file size for automated personal data backup purposes & for roaming Profiles in a large network setting. The urlclassifier file can get to be quite large, which could really screw-up roaming Profiles on a network server.

  • Is there a way from where I can restore my profile from a back-up that I took from a folder (e.g \Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

    Before re-installing Firefox 19, I mistakenly took backup of my profile from a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
    While installing, I selected "Delete the old profiles" option and I don't see any old profile folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
    However, I have a lot of important data saved under that profile which now has got deleted.
    Is there any way I can still restore the data from old profile? (P.S.: As mentioned above, I have a back-up of profile folder which resides under Local Settings folder)
    I am in a desperate need for the help. Pls reply as soon as possible.

    i have some problem. i delete firefox profile and i cannot use mozilla right now. can you help me ? thank you

  • Thank you for the virus included in the Mozzella Firefox Download it shows you really care. "\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fajy3yg3.default\Cache\2\1A\D0454d01"

    a free download from your websiter

    Let me guess you used a antivirus scanner to scan the computer and it found something in the harmless Cache and made you think you were infected.
    This is not a Firefox browser failing or Mozilla's doing. The Cache well caches things as you browse the the internet. Also Mozilla has never included any form of virus, trojan maleware or such in a Firefox download as otherwise it would have been all over various tech news then.
    The Cache is not vulnerable like the IE temp files can be as viruses and trojans and such are completely harmless while sitting in Cache until either you clear or delete the Cache or it gets bumped out as Cache continues to Cache stuff.
    Just clear the Cache and scan again.

  • I need to disable profiles being created in C:/Documents and Settings/[Current User], or I need to move where these are created, move them to somewhere else on the C:/ not under a person's profile. Is this possible?

    I'm trying to package Firefox 5.0.1 for people who have limited space on their profiles. When Firefox is installed and opened, it creates files in C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and apparently this data (even though it's only 10MB) is too much for some people's profiles.
    Is there a way to move where this is created? They don't mind if none of the information such as bookmarks follows them. I need to know if it's possible to move the files elsewhere on the C:\ so that it's not stored inside a users profile folder.

    Open your profile folder Help menu (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting information and click the show folder button.
    Close Thunderbird
    Delete the file foldertree.json and restart Thunderbird.

  • ESET NOD 32 cannot scan past this point. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following; C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending. Is this a problem with NOD32 or with Firefox? Thank you.

    I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
    Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.
    '''Me:''' I cannot seem to run a complete system scan. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following point. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
    Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending
    I also keep getting messages to send error reports to Microsoft constantly. I also have this code C:\pagefile.sys-error opening
    Thank you for your assistance.
    '''Their solution:'''
    Based on the information you provided, we recommend that you upgrade to latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and see if this makes a difference.
    Please click or copy/paste the following ESET Knowledgebase article into your web browser for step-by-step instructions:
    '''Me''' : I did as they requested and am fully upgraded and licensed with their new edition.
    Ran a new scan same problem.
    I sent them a new e-mail but now wonder if it is a Firefox issue as, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
    ''Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending'' this is where the scan stalls.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try delete the files in Pending folder and make the scan again, do not be afraid to delete the files see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/679996

  • I just got a new PC at work, and I saved all my files in my profile (Documents and Settings...).Being a new firefox install, I cannot recover my custom preferences (and passwords...)

    At work, I was asked to exchange my PC for a new one (...) at a moment where I was completely stressed and hardly could find time to do things correctly ( I had big issues with some UNIX servers consuming all my time, and more...) I saved the content of my profile in (Documents and settings) from the XP pro OS. REinstalled Firefox, but cannot find a way to recover or use the content of Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox... How can I recover? (bookmarks, custom stuff passwors etc...)

  • How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

    I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
    Thank you,
    Wimajeanne

    I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
    Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
    My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
    Thank you.

    We use a doc template to create a purchased part spec document and then save them as pdf formatted files.  These part spec documents are also appended with the datasheets for these purchased parts.  When we want to update/revise the document, is there a method, using Acrobat, to make those updates to the pdf, or must we go back to the doc template and basically generate a new document?
    Also, our resulting pdf documents aren't searchable.  How can we generate pdf documents that are searchable?  I may want to search for a part value or name within the body of these pdf documents, but currently can't do that...very inconvenient.
    Can you assist?

    Not totally sure about the search issue. A lot depends on how you created the PDF and what is in the datasheets you attached (like are they graphics?). The doc portion should be searchable as long as you used print to the Adobe PDF printer or PDF Maker. For your use, it may be that the print is adequate. However, the result should be searchable (unless maybe you had a form with filled in fields and created the PDF with PDF Maker. I think the form data may be retained in form fields and the fields are not searchable. In that case, a print might be a better procedure. (it would help to know the versions of WORD and Acrobat as well as the exact process you used to create the PDF.)
    If the appended data sheets do not change, then you might try opening the original PDF and then using Replace Pages to replace the file created from the DOC file.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

    You can't mix classpath values with the -jar option. Using the -jar option causes Java to use only the Class-Path: information in the jar's manifest file, while ignoring all external classpath information. Review this for details:

  • Can we change the download directory update? (documents and settings)

    Hi

    HI,
    1.a. cost center name: can be changed every time (=daily), the relevant fields are set in SAP-standard OKEG to "daily".
    1.b. Example: Start date is 01.01.2000, it is always possible to set it to a date before that date by creating the cost center for this new time interval.
    If the new start date should be 01.01.2001:As long as their is no posting made to this costcenter, you can delete the time interval that is not needed (01.01.2000 - 31.12.2000) to achive the new start date for the costcenter.
    2: I don't know the reason why its working fine for the first 5 cost elements and not for the second 5. Anyway, if the cost element does not contain a posting, change the cost element master record.
    Best regards, Christian

    Hi Karthik,
    There may be several factors contributing to this error.Some of these maybe:
    -Storage category defined improperly/missing
    -HTTP/FTP destination missing
    -Incomplete Workstation application definition
    -Incomplete Authorization
    Please run through/search for each of these issues (discussed several times in the forum) and adopt corrective action wherever necessary.
