Can you configure firefox to remove all cookies on exit EXCEPT cookies from user defined (friendly) domains?

I think my question is clear and doesn't need additional details, but this detail box apparently cannot be blank.

Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
You can inspect and modify the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"<br />
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" (Site Preferences includes the cookie exceptions)
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies that have an allow exception.

I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes.

I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes. (Firefox 5.0)

@dmcritchie:
''How do you expect to keep cookies for certain sites, if you wipe out all of your cookies when the session ends or you clear the same history through the Tools menu''
If you mean from session-to-session, I don't expect it to keep cookies. That's the whole point. Every time Firefox is opened, I want it to write a new cookie, and keep that cookie until it closes and no longer than that. (Perhaps I should clarify: I don't mean session in the networking sense but rather in the period of time when one starts using Firefox until Firefox closes.) The behavior I want is for it to be able to write cookies when open, but only for specific sites, and then forget about them on close.
I should also mention that your responses are worthless to me because you don't explain anything. For instance, the quote above is ''not'' obvious from your reply of "Make sure you are not clearing cookies". You need to explain this; what is obvious in a reading for you is not obvious for everyone.
Furthermore, how is "Site Preferences" related to "everything on the right-side"? (Not to mention that it's unclear what you mean by "right-side.")

How can you configure Firefox to apply updates as soon as they are available?

I have a mandate to update Firefox across every machine in my enterprise within 48 hours of a new release. I have been doing this with intranet distribution tools (SCCM, etc.) but because of the frequency of Firefox updates this has become laborious.
I've been looking at the about:config settings in the "app.update" category (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences) and some of those seem promising. As a test, I set "app.update.silent" to TRUE and "app.update.interval" to 60 (seconds) on a legacy version of Firefox. I restarted the browser, let it sit for a few minutes then restarted it again expecting the latest update to apply, but nothing happened.
How can I script or automate via Firefox's internal settings the same update process that is triggered when users manually go to Help > About?

The Nightly versions have these values for some of the prefs because they can be updated daily more than once because of a respin
*app.update.interval : 7200
*app.update.promptWaitTime : 43200
You may need to reset update timer prefs.
*app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer
You can have a look at the comments in the source code that handles the updating process to see if that gives some ideas.

Is there a way to configure Firefox so that certain cookies are kept even when the Tools/Options/Privacy is confirgured to removed all cookies when Firefox is closed? In other words, an "exception" list so that certain specified cookies would not be remo

For some websites that I visit every day, it is a pain to have to log in every time. (e.g., Zap2it, which provides TV listings in your local area). However, I like setting Tools/Options/Privacy to keep all cookies until I close Firefox. I would like to be able to configure Firefox so that all cookies would be removed EXCEPT those I specify. If I could do this, I would not have to log in every time.

You can't use [[Clear Recent History]] if you want to keep specific cookies by setting an exception.
"Clear Recent History" is all or nothing.
You can let the cookies expire if you close Firefox if you need to preserve specific cookies.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"

I accidentally clicked "remove all cookies." Now I have none. How do I restore them?

I accidentally clicked "remove all cookies." Now I have none. How do I restore them?

You can try to restore a previous copy of the cookies.sqlite file from the Time Machine if you use that feature.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Why doesn't the Remove All cookies button , actualy remove any cookies?

Tools, Options, Privacy, Cookies, Keep Until I Close Firefox is checked. Next choose the show cookies box. Next choose remove all cookies. All cookies remain. Tried removal one at a time and got the same result. All cookies remain. I made sure I had the latest Flash update and tried again. All cookies remain. If I can't clear cookies I can't use Firefox.

Depending on how the website is built, there are some websites that allow to use the back button while logged in. Generally you should not use the back button on a website where you log in to your account. You can try that this happens in other browsers as well so just don't use the back button on websites where you log in. You can open a new tab for websites where you log in so that your browsing won't get mixed up with your personal stuff.

Can you modify the price of a contract in the ME32K directly from the item

Hello,
I am in ECC6.0
I need to modify the price of an item in the contract (ME32K WK or MK) but it is grey (only in display). So I must do Item-Condition and then I can modify the price of the item.
Can you modify the price of a contract in the ME32K directly from the item screen?
I have try with several field selections but nothing.
AKTV     Change
MKK     Quantity contract (for MK)
WKK     Value Contract (for WK)
PT0K     Standard item contract
Cheers,
Marta

HI,
If you maintain any condition in the contract line item condition, like freight, discount etc. the landed price gets populated in the line item price field. So if you want to make any change in base price, it has to be changd in the line item condition.
This is because, You can maintain different validity period in condition and maintain different price in each validity period. So which price you want to pick? So the system captures the price from condition and populate it in the item price field depending on the validity period price.
Hope this helped you.
Regards

Can you send an event created on your iphone to a contact from your iphone?

Can you send an event created on your iphone to a contact from your iphone? If so I can't figure it out. I have asked this question before and somebody told me you could if you were a mobileme or exchange user. Well I am a mobileme user and if it can be done, I can't figure it out.
Any help appreciated.

From the calendar app on my iphone? I know I can do it from iCal and from mobileme. When I look at the event on my iphone I can look at the invitees, but I do not see where I can add or delete an invitee. Maybe I am just missing it.

I updated to 6. In Tools, blocked cookies and now can never open Firefox. The allow cookies window is stuck. How do I get rid of the firefox browser and go back to 5. I did have malware on computer that was removed, but still ...not working

On Saturday, Sept. 3, I updated to Mozilla Firefox 6. I went into the Toolbar, I think to private browsing, but not sure now. I asked that all cookies be blocked. A window came up from my home page that said "Allow, Allow this session only, Deny Cookies." I said Deny and it told me 19 cookies were being blocked. I have never been able to get the window to leave the browser home page. In fact, I can not make any choice in that window. The window kind of shakes. I went for professional help and did have malware that I had not known was there that was removed. Technician worked 3 hours. It was called "PUM.Hijack.Start." The Mozilla browser is still stuck like that. I am on Internet Explorer, but I would like to have Firefox back again. What steps do I take next?

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

How do you configure Firefox for all users on a machine?

I want to
1. Take my existing set-up of Firefox
a. with all bookmarks
b. with all my chosen options
c. with my default start-up home page
d. bypass all the initial Firefox startup screen and "make this your default screen"
2. Have it be the base set-up for all users that log into a machine on our domain.
Is there a config file? Where do I place this config file so when all open their firefox it takes the above settings. I am creating a base image using VMware and will want this set-up so when a user log in with their logon credentials and open Firefox, it already has the above mentioned settings in place.

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
