Our company decided to use Firefox for an implementation and we need to remotely set all systems to empty cache on exit

We need to find, either a registry key or setting that can be deployed to all our computers. Specifically, it is to clear the disk cache files on exit. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

hello hernandm, you can use the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences to deploy certain settings.
put the following code into the mozilla.cfg file to force firefox installations to clear the cache at shutdown:
lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);
lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.history", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings", false);

  • I've been using Firefox for some time now. but i've been having all kind of issues with it and am considering a move to Google Chrome. i don't want to do this, but for example: your site tells me i'm running version 3.6.10, when i am running 4.0.1...huh?

    i play restaurant city on Facebook, among other things, but the game crashed every time i breathed on it. somebody suggested Chrome, so i switched to it...just for that game.
    today, i started having trouble with Twitter (the new one), sending messages & tweets. i've switched to the old one & it works, but again suggested that i go to Chrome for this & all my needs.
    i don't want to, but i will if things like this keep happening.

    You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Search+bar
    In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
    This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
    You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
    You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
    Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.

  • I haven't used firefox for 2 years and I uninstalled it. Now I want it but installation box says I have to close to uninstall previous version. After PC reopens nothing else occurs

    I have been in to Control Panel/Add and Remove installations to search Mozilla firefox and there is nothing showing.
    I have tried removing all firefox entries with the regedit but some of these items will not remove. I suggest a professional form of uninstaller to get all these items off regedit that can clean it up. Then I might be able to install without a hitch.

    Check the task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and look for firefox.exe in the processes tab. If it's running, close it.

  • When I click on a tab in the toolbar the tab flies off the screen to the right. Suddenly after using firefox for years I cannot load any pages

    I'm using Windows XP. I've used Firefox for years but in recent weeks I've had the following problem. When I endeavour to open an internet site the tab appears in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen instead of loading the page. When I click on the tab it appears to fly across the right of screen and disappears from view. Fortunately we've left an internet page OPEN so that we can redirect our search via that. Today we had a power cut and now I cannot get Firefox to load anything. At the moment I'm using Explorer to write this. We've made no changes to our system and we're continuing to use the same virus checker we're had for years. (Kaspersky)
    One last point. When I try to load any site in Links the tab changes to the correct name but then flies off as I've previously mentioned. When I right click on the tab and choose Max or Min I have no reaction. I've tried rebooting the computer and turning it off but this does not fix the problem. I've also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest version all to no avail. Please, can someone help? Micam

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|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.

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

    I have been using Firefox for years. Somehow I seem to have blocked it. I get a blank page when trying to enter the site. What to do? thank you

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
    Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
    If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    *Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    *Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

  • Several sites will not respond any longer when I type or click on them. I have been using Firefox for years and all of a sudden, nothing.

    I have been using Firefox for many years now and have been going to several sites on Firefox. Now, after an update around two days ago, I can't do anything with the sites. The cursor stays an arrow, and doesn't click anything. It's like a blank page with print on it.
    I've tried almost everything, but to no avail. It's too much to copy and paste below.
    Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.
    Also, http://tesnexus.com is another site, plus a few others, besides google.com.

    Hi Papajack55,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I've been using Firefox for years. Now your load screen appears everytime I open. It's a hassle!

    Every time I open Firefox to go to the internet I get a page that says thanks for becoming a tester, etc. Then you want me to download Firefox, which I've done 6 times now! Then you make Firefox Search my homepage. Then I change the homepage. Then a screen comes up saying AVG has been successfully installed. Then I use the internet and the next time I re-open Firefox I get the same bull##%% routine!
    I've been using Firefox for years. What's up? It's a major hassle!

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • When I click on the Firefox icon, my homepage opens to about 95% and then it stops reponding. If I click on anything, I get the message that it is "not responding:. I have used Firefox for years with no problems. What can I do?

    I have used Firefox for years and it has been great until a few days ago. Now when I try to open it, the homepage from a few days ago opens, but the green bar on the lower right fills in about 95%.

  • I have used Firefox for years on my Mac laptop for years, I tried to update to version 4 and now I have no Firefox and every time I download the the Firefox the emblem has a awhite circle with a cross through it, so I can't drag it to applications.

    The support page is ridiculous, it assumes you already have Firefox and that the install went fine. I am having trouble with an update to Version 4. I have an ibook G4 running OS X. I have used Firefox for years. When I downloaded the update, the Firefox logo thing that you are supposed to drag to the Applications folder has a white circle with a line through it. I have rebooted many times and have updated all other software.

    Hello,
    I wouldn't trust any Firefox "update" from a non-Mozilla website. Sometimes, unofficial builds contain adware or malware. If you want to use Firefox for AOL do so at your own risk.

  • Can not connect to the internet. This is a new problem since I have been using firefox for years.

    I can not connect to the internet. I called mediacom due to the problem and they connected me to internet explorer. They indicated I should contact you for help in connecting to the internet. It appears firefox has made some kind of change since last night since I was using firefox for my internet connection last night. Something has changed. Your help will be appreciated.

    The only way that file opens thru IE8 for me ''(but not actually in IE8)'' is by using the Zip Utility (then IE closes) that is in WinXP and then opening the two image files in the Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
    I think Firefox is trying to display that file because the MIME-type is for '''''text/plain''''' instead of the appropriate MIME-type of '''application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml''' or '''application/vnd.google-earth.kmz'''
    That is something that needs to be configured in the server that is hosting that file type. Sorry, I don't know how that can be fixed. The one support person here that might know lives in Europe ''(I believe)'', so you might need to wait for an answer.

  • It's been two years since Windows 7 64 bit computers came out. At what point is Firefox thinking of providing a browser that is compatible with this. I haven't used Firefox for 2 years as a results. And what exactly is Waterfox?

    If you do a search on the web, you will discover that I am far from the only one who finds that she cannot use Firefox because it is incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I'm pretty sure there must be hundreds of thousands of users out there that can not use Firefox for the same reason. At what point are you thinking of updating your browser?
    Also are you connected to Waterfox and is it safe?

    In device manager tick Show hidden devices, under view on the toolbar.
    If DM cannot see it you cannot install a driver, not sure why that hardware will not get detected.
