Camino Bookmarks Almost Every Site Visited

Today I noticed that Camino (version 1.6.7) keeps saving automatically almost every website I visit as a bookmark. I don't want this. I want to be able to choose which site to bookmark, as I have in the past. It may have started happening weeks ago or even a month or so ago. I recently upgraded to Camino 1.6.7 and I don't know if there's a bug in it. Under Camino preferences I couldn't find any option to turn off this automatic function.
I've been checking the Camino forum and this Apple forum until my eyes are going cross-eyed. There was a lot of info re bookmark backups but I don't think that was directly related to my problem.
Your help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I too have Camino vs 1.6.7 but it is not doing what you are describing.
Although it does save the sites visited in 'History'... it does not make it a 'BookMark' unless I add it manually.
I believe some 'script' could do this... do you have any running like this?
Mine is working flawlessly.

After a recent Firefox update, I lost all my Bookmarks and recent sites visited. Also, I am unable to Bookmark any page now.

After a recent Firefox update, all the Bookmarks I had saved, disappeared. Also, I am unable to scroll down to see the sites I had already visited and saved. Now, when I go to a page I would like to Bookmark, I am unable to do so. I will click on Bookmark This Page but it does not work.

For the lost bookmark issue, see [[Lost Bookmarks]] and for the bookmarking issue, see [[Bookmarks not saved]].

DNS Problems on almost EVERY site, wtf BT?

It started yesterday - just 1 site wouldnt load:
"Could not connect to site.com"
Doesnt ping either
This happens on all my devices using BT connections, if i use a proxy or my mobile web they load up fine.
So what is wrong? Some of these sites i need to use as i manage a web server

Can you confirm that every website is now working for you McNugget? Could everyone else in this thread try changing your DNS servers to see if it helps at all? There's a bit of a walkthrough here if you need to find out how to change them on your PC.

I have to "refresh" my bookmarks almost every time I open my browser, and sometime it takes many attempts.

My bookmarks do not open from the icon I have in my Yahoo toolbar. I constantly have to "refresh" it, which I put in quotes because that doesn't work most of the time.

If the Yahoo toolbar loads those bookmarks from the Yahoo server then it sounds to me like a Yahoo problem.
You can try to disable all other extension and some plugins as well to test if one of them is interfering.

Problems printing coupons from almost every site

I keep getting this error on my brother printer when I try to print coupons from online.
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/CouponConvertor_v2 failed
I downloaded the coupons.com plugin and can print the coupons when i open that only. But when I go online to any site I get an error when I try to print.

coupons.com is no help whatsoever.
Quit Safari
Go to your Applications folder in Finder
Highlight Safari and Command-I for "Get Info"
You will see the option of "Open in 32-bit mode" - check that
Reopen Safari
Print your coupons

Why do I get a message that states a site's identity can't be verified for almost every site including mozilla

Just installed Firefox on a new'er' pc and I can't access any websites. Message reads"this connection is untrusted" then there's an explanation, a get me out of here! Box and I Understand the risks.

hello, first please make sure that the date & time is set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
thank you!

Safari is saving every site I've been on into the search bar on my MacBook AIR OMG soooo MAD!! Help PLEASE!!!!!!

Today I went to PowerPoint and then I clicked Insert > Slides from > Other Presentation
Now a box pops up and says "Choose a File" on the title bar. Then it says Choose a file containing slides you want to insert
So now it says: search: This Mac Home Desktop Contents File Name with "this mac" and "contents" highlighted
And then in the search bar to the far right with the magnify glass I typed the phrase "nos.." by accident...then I noticed almost EVERY webpage/instragram/youtube I've ever been on comes up, some of them listed numerous times.
I see all these random youtube videos Ive watched, all these websties, and the worst peoples instagrams that Ive been stalking LMAO!! Like when I type in for example "ashley" it comes up ashley9234 (for example) instagram 6 times in a row listed, but some pages only once, all these webpages everything omg I cant sleep knowing almost every site Ive ever been to is there..and you cant click it or delete it, I just dont like to see it.
And I did click "Reset Safari" , clear history everynight before I turn off my computer, but you see that is not the problem...the problem is that why stuff Ive visited from even 7 months ago show up , and why some are listed numerous times like 6 times in a row...omg Apple...you have let me down big time. Now I can never sell my mac ever!!! So next laptop is soo gonna be Sony or something..guys please..I really really really need your help Im losing sleep over this
Can you guys try it...I just incidentally happened to see this when I was tryna do something search with PowerPoint and typed in the word "nos" and it came all these listings with beginning "nos"
Try it out guys!! See if it happens for you and tell me the way to get rid of all of that under content finder, or search this Mac....PLEASE I wanna break my laptop!!!!!! I am soo mad Not that I visit any bad sites but I do like fb and insta stalking sometimes ahaa and i just dont like these peoples names or kardashian blog websites showing up for myself..even though no one will ever see it ..it makes me not ok.

Yes, I do that every 30 minutes, thats not the issue tho, because it shows like for example, 4 months ago i search a celebrity on wikipedia ONCE, and it shows up if you type that first name in the search bar......
Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...
need help!!!

Almost every website requires multiple tries because "cannot find server". Problem started about 10 days ago

Whether I use bookmarks or type a url and then click I get a message that the server cannot be found. I click on try again as many as seven times before the site comes up. This is happening with almost every site from Google to blogs.

UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting. This is a puzzle!!!

Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How to update site icons in the bookmarks without going to every site. This option is available in Maxthon

when I install fresh and sync my new firefox, I have 100's of bookmarks in categories. I would like to see an option to update site icons where firefox goes and get the icons for all my bookmarks.
This option is available in Maxthon
Right now I have to visit every site to have the icon show up.
maybe there is an addon

hello daronwade, in order to automatically add the favicons to your synced bookmarks you can try to use the following extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/
after installing the addon you have to initiate the scan for favicons once: press the alt-key to show the menu bar, go to the bookmarks and select the option to reload the favicons.

My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often

My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often.
I am typing a message or information, the screen fades to about half bright. the curser freezes in place and no key responds.
The information bar at the top of the page says "firefox not responding" in about 30 seconds it restores and continues as tho nothing happens.

I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
Right after i installed 7.0.1 over a week ago,every 10-30 min When i would be watching videos online, it would freeze for 20-30 seconds. Firefox would say ( Not responding) both firefox and the plugin container process would be very large memory files. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0. No avail it would still freeze.I tried to disable the plugin container . no good. I tried to adjust memory or cache or plugin settings in “about:config”.Nothing fixed it!
I finally discovered why my Firefox 7.01 was periodic hanging fix. It is something to do with some of your personal files. download this this add on and install it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
or you can Google "places maintenance Firefox"
After you install the add on, restart Firefox.go to "tools", then "add ons" and then click “extensions” tab ,then click' options" on the "places maintenance" entry. choose "ALL' or just "expire" and hit "execute", then wait until its done., restart Firefox. should be fine then and all my bookmarks, customizations ,settings, and history stays untouched!
After i did this my Firefox did not freeze once for over 3 days straight. Might not work for everyone. I already read that Mozilla is aware of the problem and are working on a fix it in the full version of 8( the 8 beta did not fix the problem for me) . But they said this is a good temporary fix at least,( might be permanent)
For me at least ,Firefox works fine in 7 now. perfect actually.And many people i saw on similar forums had similar problems.
Enjoy. Hope this helped

Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working

Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working. Have tried following and none work:
- reinstalled latest Shockwave Flash software, uninstalled and reinstalled with clean wipes
- downgraded Flash to previous version
- disabled hardware acceleration
Only when I disable Javascript in Firefox will the error stop but then no Flash application will work.
This is clearly a Firefox issue with the latest version. The previous version was using the latest Flash and there was no issue.
Below you will see I am using older version of Flash as I was testing previous, but same issue when I go the latest verison.
Please fix in an update.

Well that solution failed ... lasted for almost a day. The crashing of Flash is back.

Every site I visit via Firefox is distorted.Including your homesite. I had to use IE to send this message.

Earlier today,Monday, I started experiencing problems with FireFox, which I use primarily. What happened was that every site I visited,starting about 6:00pm CST, was distorted visually and structurally. Including your homepage and other sections of your site.
It appeared as though someone had been tampering with your browsers coding with reference to the ability to properly display web pages.Your site in particular was stripped of any images, videos or coloration. Just a bare bones page of disjointed text showed.I had to open IE 8 to get to your site to send this message as I could not do it in Firefox.
I verified the fact that it's not a cacheing issue. Plus I did 2 un/reinstalls of Firefox, which didn't help.
I love FireFox which is why I felt I should bring this to your attention. I will keep using IE for now and keep checking back with FireFox hoping that the problem has been identified and corrected.
Thank you for your hard work in creating a truly superior browser that you give away,and I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Jerry Johnson

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Using Windows vista and Firefox 4 hangs almost every time

I have just installed Firefox 4 and now almost every time I open Firefox it hangs. I have checked all the suggested solutions but nothing has had any effect.

Hi,

Also try to clear the firefox cache etc.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the '''[[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]]''' article.
