Browser.sessionstore.interval set to 15 secs yet never saves session status

Windows XP (although this occurs on Win7 as well), Firefox 36.0.1. With browser.sessionstore.interval set to 15000, and watching the contents of the sessionstore-backups folder in the profile, nothing there was updated in the last 16 hours of FF operation -- since the latest browser restart. I have now restarted it once again (and unsurprisingly the restored session was that from the middle of last night) after bumping up the interval to two minutes, but regardless of its value surely -something- should be written/updated to the recovery.js file periodically?
I will watch the relevant status once more this evening, but the complete lack of changes in that folder seems odd?
Would it be wise to create a new profile on a just-in-case basis (in which case, is there a Q&A somewhere which lists which old values can be copied over to the new file?), or is this a symptom that is known to be fixed in v37.0.1?

It's been a week since we've heard back from you. Is this still an issue?

  • Why do I stay logged into Gmail even though browser.sessionstore.privacy_level is set to 1?

    When I close my browser I expect not to still be logged in to secure sites (e.g. Gmail) when I reopen it. I know FF stopped this behaviour by default in FF4, so I have set browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 1 which I believe should enforce this behaviour. However of late Gmail is still logged in when I reopen FF even after a complete shutdown of the computer for a day or so.
    I've checked the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level setting and it's still set to 1.
    This is definitely happening in in FF 25.0.1 on Ubuntu 13.10. I think it's also happening on my Windows (XP and 7) machines, but don't have them to hand to check.
    Any ideas what else I should check?

    I think there is some confusion about how Google's cookies work and what browser.sessionstore.privacy_level does.
    You can allow Google to set two different kinds of cookies:
    (1) ''Persistent'' cookies ("Keep until: they expire")
    These expire on a future date. These cookies are not at all affected by the session restore settings.
    (2) ''Session'' cookies ("Keep until: I close Firefox")
    These cookies expire from the cookie database when you exit Firefox but may be restored if you restore your previous session.
    With the default setting of browser.sessionstore.privacy_level=0, these session cookies are kept in your previous session data so that you can return to your prior Google session without logging in again.
    With browser.sessionstore.privacy_level=1, session cookies from secure sites are NOT kept in your previous session data. When you restore the Google tab, you should be logged out in that tab (for example, you may get the login screen instead of your inbox).
    Rather than flush ''all'' your cookies at shutdown, another approach is to set your cookies to be session cookies by default, and then make exceptions for sites where you want to stay logged in from session to session (e.g., forums or other sites that aren't sensitive).
    The general setting is on the Privacy tab of the Options/Preferences dialog. [[Enable and disable cookies that websites use to track your preferences]].
    To set site-specific exceptions, you can use the Exceptions button on the Privacy tab, or use the Page Info dialog while viewing a page on the site. Either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
    * right the padlock icon in the address bar > More Information > Permissions

  • Although browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash = false, it still is restoring session and even session which where password protected! how to solve

    In the config browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is set to false, However when restarting FF all sessions can be restored by pressing the button session restore on the home page.
    '''It restores also password protected sessions without asking for any password! This is unacceptible!'''

  • I am getting an unable to connect error messagen when I start the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" and my internet connection is working fine. What can I do to fix this?

    I opened up my firefox browser yesterday and it crashed. Since then I get an error message that says "unable to connect" every time I try to load the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" So it should be connecting. My internet explorer browser is working fine. So I know it is not my internet connection. What can I do to make the firefox browser work again?

    Hi,
    Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

  • Do browser send a error report to the website if browser fail in set up communication channel first time with that site

    Suppose i want to open some site using mozilla but first time browser fail to set up communication channel. When I attempt second time it successfully set up a connection then my question is that on the second time will browser send error report of first time to that site

    What was the specific problem with the first request? For example:
    * The server reset the connection
    * Page didn't load (blank)
    * Security certificate error
    * et cetera
    In some of these cases, the destination server might not know you sent a first request. And in other cases, that will be in the log. But I do not think Firefox sends any notification of problems with previous connections, the site would have to make an educated guess about the problem based on getting two sequential requests from the same IP address.

    I purchased the phone in a retail store a few days ago. Am trying to avoid making an appointment and going back.  The purchase took 3 hours.

    Have you got Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases set 'off' - that should stop all in-app purchases. And what have you got 'Require Password' set to on the Restrictions screen (I can't remember what version of iOS that setting came in with, so you may not have it) ?

  • How to ignore browser 's local setting ?

    I use ADF to implement JSP Application ?
    I am in Thailand .
    Thai year = english year + 543 .
    ADF display date according to locale that is set in browser .
    I want to ignore locale setting in browser and always use Locale.ENGLISH
    What should I do ?
    and another question ?
    if I customize ADF to display in THAI year by customize setter and getter method in EntityImpl . Can I know what is locale that is set in client 's browser in those setter and getter method , because ADF dose not pass request object to EntityImpl ?
    thanks in advance

    You can change ADF Model tier in the application Module :
    getSession().setLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);
    The default value of the locale is the JVM Locale
    Don't code view problematic in EntityImpl. Entity are only for binding ViewObject attributes and persistence tier. you can code it in viewRow classes (you can generate it checking ¨the check box in the java menu editing the viewObject.

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Stan

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • Retrieval Interval Setting Problem

    On my LG Spectrum2 Android, I set the email retrieval interval at say 30 minutes and it stays that way for a few days. Then after a few days the setting reverts to Manual. I need to be able to respond quickly to emails from my customers so I want to activate permanently the automatic checking of my email accounts. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Larry

    I have two different-domain email accounts set up as other on the Spectrum2 phone. Retrieval of email works fine, and the notification of new mail works with retrieval interval set at say 30 minutes or if updated manually. The problem is that I can set the retrieval interval at say 30 minutes and the setting will stay at 30 minutes for a few days and then the setting just reverts to manual for both accounts. The accounts were set up using the default app on the phone, Since the accounts work fine, except for the retrieval interval issue, I have not removed and readded them.

  • How to Set up HTTPOnly and SECURE FLAG for session cookies

    Hi All,
    To fix some vulnerability issues (found in the ethical hacking , penetration testing) I need to set up the session cookies (CFID , CFTOKEN , JSESSIONID) with "HTTPOnly" (so not to access by other non HTTP APIs like Javascript). Also I need to set up a "secure flag" for those session cookies.
    I have found the below solutions.
    For setting up the HTTPOnly for the session cookies.
    1] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
         this.sessioncookie.httponly = true;
    For setting up the secure flag for the session cookies.
    2] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
         this.sessioncookie.secure = "true"
    Here my question is how we can do the same thing in Application.cfm?. (I am using ColdFusion version 10). I know we can do this using the below code , incase of HTTPOnly (for example).
    <cfapplication setclientcookies="false" sessionmanagement="true" name="test">
    <cfif NOT IsDefined("cookie.cfid") OR NOT IsDefined("cookie.cftoken") OR cookie.cftoken IS NOT session.CFToken>
      <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#session.CFID#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
      <cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#session.CFTOKEN#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
    </cfif>
    But in the above code "setclientcookies" has been set to "false". In my application (it is an existing application) this has already been set to "true". If I change this to "false" as mentioned in the above code then ColdFusion will not automatically send CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to client browser and we need to manually code CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL for every page that uses Session. Right???. And this will be headache.Right???. Or any other way to do this.
    Your timely help is well appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I couldnt understand this. I mean how are you relating this with my question.
    When Tomcat detects that the communication protocol is secure (that is, HTTPS), it automatically switches on the 'secure' flag for the J2EE session cookie, JsessionID. Tomcat is configured to do that. Coldfusion has no say in it. So, for JsessionID, 'secure' is automatically set to 'false' when HTTP is detected and automatically set to 'true' when HTTPS is detected.
         If this is the case then why I am getting below info for jsessionid (As you mentioned it should set with SECURE flag . Right???). Note that we are using web server - Apache vFabric .And the application that we are using is in https and there is no hit is going from https to http.

    Set HTTPOnly / Secure for the session cookies that you wish to use. Each cookie has its pros and cons. For example, the JsessionID cookie is more secure and more Java-interoperable than CFID/CFToken but, from the explanation above, it forbids the sharing of sessions between HTTP and HTTPS.
         I understood that setting thos flags (httponly/secure) is as per my wish. But my question was , is it necessary to set those flags forcf session cookies (cfid and cftoken) as we have enabled J2EE session in CF admin?. Or in other way as the session management is J2EE based do we need to set those flags for CF session cookies?.

    It is sufficient to set the HTTPOnly only. As I explained above, Tomcat will automatically set 'secure' to 'true' when necessary, that is, when the protocol is HTTPS.
         I understood that it is sufficient to set httponly only.but how we will set it for jsessionid?. This is my question. Apache vFabric will alos set secure to true automatically. Any idea??
