Can I opt out of super-cookies today?  If so, how?

I've read that V is using "super-cookies" and this raised some concerns and that V's response was to allow customers to opt-out of their use.
Has anyone done this or know how to do it?  Step-by-step...

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> ''Time range to clear: '''select EVERYTHING''''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies & Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
'''-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • How can I opt out on the default setting for a split window in Firefox 3.6.12 ?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12, the page opens up with two vertically divided panes. Each pane displays a different bookmark. The left pane is generally only about an inch wide and can only be expanded to about 3 inches wide. In that mode, it is pretty much useless and only provides a distraction. How can I opt out on what appears to be the default setting for a split window with two vertical panes.
    At this point, I am discontinuing using Firefox in favor of Safari because of this change in the default window.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • How can I opt out of Safari on Apple Update?!

    I personally hate Safari and don’t want it on my machine but I want to keep Apple update for ITunes and Quicktime. How can I opt out of Safari updates for good!?
    I don’t understand why Apple did this… its very annoying to keep getting this popping up on my computers!
    -Aaron

    +I should have said I know how to opt out of a single update+
    Okay, it sounds like you know about the "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates" trick in ASU.
    At this stage, perhaps the thing to do is to make an enhancement request (for the ability to permanently ignore types of update in ASU) direct to Apple using the product feedback forms:
    Product Feedback
    Since there's no form for ASU itself, probably the best form to use would be the iTunes product feedback form, given that ASU comes as part of the iTunes installer bundle.
    (Unfortunately, that's not likely to be a short term solution for you ... but it might produce some results in the medium-term, with any luck.)

  • How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them

    Dear experts,
    How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them.
    I have 1GB RAM with oracle 10G. and please tell me How many processes can run with this RAM.

    >How can I found out the No. of Psocess running
    well, that depends on where you are ? if you are on windows then task manager will tell you what all processes are running. if you are on unix then ps -ef will tell you about all the processes running on a particular machine
    How can I Release them.
    what do you exactly mean by Release ? if you mean "end" that again has 2 scenarios, first that process ends by itself (ie after completing its job), another can be killing the process , that again will depend upon operating system. in windows you can kill a process from task manager itself, in unix you can use kill -9 PID to kill a process.
    How many processes can run with this RAM.
    loads of other details required before one can answer this question.no of processes in a very simple manner will depend how much memory is available and how much a process is eating.

  • How can I opt out of marketing texts from EE?

    I receive marketing SMS messages from EE on a fairly frequent basis. They never have an option to reply "STOP" as there is with other marketing texts. I've browsed the My Account section on EE  and can't see any options there to opt out either. How can I tell EE that I no longer want to receive these texts?

    Hi 
    Unfortunately you cant stop them by replying STOP.
    As XRaySpeX mentioned you would need to give us a call and advise customer service you would like to change your Contact Consent.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks. 

  • Can I opt out of Verizon Selects and still earn Rewards?

    Verizon Rewards sounds like a great idea, but I don't want to be sharing my information about everything that I do with any company, let alone a marketing company that will target me with ads, etc.  I just want to be rewarded for being with Verizon for more than a decade... sometimes it feels like no company has any respect for customer loyalty.
    So, can I join Verizon Rewards and opt out of Verizon Selects to protect my privacy?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    According to their website and the page about signing up for Verizon Rewards:
    "Participation in Smart Rewards may require enrollment in Verizon Selects, which personalizes marketing customers may receive from Verizon and other companies by using information about customers' use of Verizon products and services including location, web browsing and app usage data."
    It says "may require enrollment", but I don't know whether or not that means that it will, or that I will opt out.  There's another discussion on here somewhere that asks this same question, and the Verizon rep's response was "We'll send you a private message", which bothers me... why can't they discuss it on that post?

  • Can I opt out of Verizon Selects and continue to earn rewards?

    When I signed up for Verizon smart rewards I also had to sign up for Verizon selects. Can I now opt out of Verizon selects and continue to earn rewards with Verizon smart rewards?

    If they do get more competition, I do suspect they will quickly change their tune. But for now, they certainly act more like a utility monopoly than a free market competitor.

  • How can I opt out of iCloud if I accidentally opted in when I upgraded ios8?

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 5 to IOS8 (which was a nightmare but that's another story).  During startup on my phone when it asked me if I wanted to sign up for iCloud I clicked on Not Now and then Continue.  I now realize I should have clicked on Cancel.  I DO NOT want to use Apple iCloud but can't find a way to get rid of it or opt out.  HELP!  This whole IOS8 experience has been a nightmare and has really left a bad taste in my mouth about Apple.  I have never before even considered another smart phone but I am starting to...;

    I'm sorry, but I do not understand your problem with iCloud. You need iCloud to have Find My iPhone, but it does not have to be used for anything else. I have it on all of my devices, but it is just so Find My iPhone is activated to locate and lock the phones in case of loss or theft. Please explain a little better the problem and what the problem is about opting out, since you say you did not sign up for it.

  • How can I opt out of Trial version Elem 11?  I do not see any prompt.

    Need to get out of the Trial version Elem 11 so I can go to other Photoshop products.

    I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you don't want the trial anymore uninstall it via control panel (windows) or the uninstaller in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 (mac). If you mean you want to activate a trial as a regular version, just enter your serial number.
    If neither of those is what you want you to do, more detail, please.

  • How can I opt-out of Windows Deployment?

    I acquired the hacker in January.  In February both of my computers were destroyed.  I removed ALL forms of networking from my house -- TWC, all of my routers and adapters, etc.
    I went to Best Buy and bought a new computer, then another, then 2 more -- all getting hit with a prefab image upon getting close to my doorway.
    I am losing my home, etc, because I haven't been able to work in months.  This hacker finds me at the library, and wherever else I try to work, and he messes withmy typing, stalls my screen, empties my USBs.
    I believe I am the victim of remote deployment, but how do I find where it is coming from?
    I used my (corrupt) Gateway recovery disks the other day and watched how ActiveX and other rd tools were listed.
    PLEASE, this has been going on for too long.  After  i gave up on computers, my house was entered nearly every day.  The police literally think I am insane.
    What can I do???

  • I do NOT want Hot Deals, how can I opt out??

    About a week ago, I started getting plagued with "Hot Deals" pop-ups on certain web-sites. I do NOT want this, how can I get rid of it?

    hello kevinhorn, you may have malicious software present on your system which causes those pop-ups. please perform all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
