Cookie settings do not save, is there a fix?

Every time I try and save my privacy and security settings in Firefox, they revert to default. I am aware that this issue has already arisen, however none of the suggested solutions work.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • System Settings will not save my desired mouse scroll direction

    I understand the Apple genius of wanting the Settings: Mouse: Scroll direction: Natural box to be checked.  But **** it, this is MY iMac and I want the scroll direction to remain Unchecked, so the screen scrolls in the direction I’ve been used to for YEARS.
    The problem is the System Settings will not save the unchecked scroll box.  I have to return to the System Settings every time I log on to UN check the Scroll Direction: Natural box.
    Will Apple ever fix this so that I, and others, can operate the scrolling as THEIR LONG-TIME USER sees fit?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Global security settings do not save

    Hello,
    I'm using Flash version 10,0,12,36 on a new XP Pro 64bit
    system. We are running Flash projects from a network drive which
    works just fine on 32bit systems by allowing folder permissions in
    the Global Security Settings manager. These settings will not save
    on the 64bit version. The only reason I can think of is that the
    32bit "program files" directory is called "program files (x86)"
    which may not be what the player is looking for when attempting to
    save the setting.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    It's cause the SP 2 sux, change the security settings and try again, in MSIE you can do this under the Edit or Tools menu.

  • Message "Could not save because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    Running Mac OS9.2.2 Suddenly start to get and error message " An error occured saving the enclosure "file name" Not enough memory" when trying to save an attachment in Microsoft Outlook. Same thing with Adobe Photoshop - when trying to save an any new file - message "Could not save because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
    Already Tried:
    During several freezes, suddenly my mac stop recognize any extensions. When used Microsoft Outlook and tried download an attachment got an error message type 3. So I create a new set in extensions manager and get ride of Type 3 error, but get a new error message "Not enough memory" when try to save an attachment, or "Not enough RAM" - when try to save an EPS file in Adobe Photoshop.
    In Outlook ("Get Info" section)changed memory size:
    Suggested Size: 7168 K
    Minimum Size: 16000 K
    Preferred Size: 16000 K
    In all mailboxes - there are not that many messages and they are not heavy at all, I checked them all before. And I rebuilt/compressed Outlook database - holding Option while restarted Outlook...
    Adobe Photoshop - started acting weird at same time. Even if I want to open a file through the menu: File - Open - it gives me the same message.
    Who has any clue - please help!!!

    Hi, Mike -
    I have Outlook Express's Preferred memory allocation set to 45000K, and don't have any problems with attachments. Don't be afraid of increasing OE's Preferred memory allocation (nor IE's, either - I have that set to 65000K).
    How large is the Messages file used by the account you're using in Outlook? You can examine that file here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> (account folder, either the default "Main Identity" or one you've created) >> Messages.
    It seems that the Messages file grows with each email received; but does not shrink when an email is deleted. Over time, especially when lots of attachments are involved, that file can get huge.
    One way to help it not get too big is to -
    • delete attachments after copying them to the desktop. In case you're not familiar with the easy way to copy an attachment to the desktop - select the email so it opens; click the small triangle next to the legend "Attachments" between the upper pane and the lower pane in Outlook's main window; drag the attachment from the list out onto the desktop. It will be extracted and copied to that location. Once that has been done you can delete the attachment from the email with which it arrived.
    • after purging your emails of unneeded emails and attachments, compact the file. To do that, quit Outlook if it is running. Then hold down the Option key and start up Outlook. A splash screen will appear asking if you want to compact its database files - click yes. Follow the prompts.
    Compacting OE's database can also fix some instances of a damaged database that can't be used.
    If you could answer a few more questins, perhaps we can offer additional suggestions -
    1) How much RAM do you have installed? That means the physical RAM, not counting Virtual Memory in use, if any.
    2) How full is your hard drive - how big is it, how much free space is left unused?
    3) When was the last time you rebuilt the desktop file?

    If your Mac is one year old it did not come with Lion, so you must have purchased and installed it yourself, or it is not installed.
    Do this
    Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac:
    It should look like this:
    If your version is anything other than 10.7.xx you do not have Lion (10.6 is Snow Leopard)

  • My magic trackpad settings do not save

    Hi I just bought and successfully paired my magic trackpad with my Macbook Pro 2011, running Mountain Lion.
    However the trackpad settings do not save for longer than a few minutes. It keeps reverting back to the default.
    This is really annoying. It also affects the normal trackpad when I have unpaired the magic trackpad, so I suspect it is some glitch in the OSX.
    Appreciate any help!

    Make sure that you have continuous auto assign buttons NOT checked for the menu or the buttons can keep on being reset - are they reset to what the original navigation was set (in other words if the buttons were not moved like you did, they would navigate.)

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings

  • Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
    Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
    Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
    Simplify.
    I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
    No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
    www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

  • Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

    When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

    Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
    Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
    Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
    I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
    Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

  • BlackBerry Z10 notification settings do not save

    I’m having an issue with saving my notification settings on my Z10. They do not save! For example, when I select the normal profile, I set all the notifications individually as to my preferences – phone, emails, text messages, Facebook, Twitter etc. until everything is perfect. Then I select another profile, for example, silent, and repeat the process of setting the notifications individually for each application. Once I switch back to the normal profile, I notice that all of the settings I customized are gone and replaced by default settings. Basically, every time I change the mode, the settings that I customized for that mode are lost. This is a problem for all modes. I don’t want to have to re-set all the settings every time I want to change the profile! In addition, the ringtone that I customized does not play when I receive a call – I can see that the ringtone I want is selected, but it does not work. Whenever I receive a phone call, my phone plays a default ringtone and not the one I selected. It is really annoying to not be able to count on my notifications, and was hoping this would be fixed with the 10.2 update, but it has not. I’ve also tried doing a battery pull a few times. I have not been able to find a way to resolve this problem. Please help!

  • New settings do not save in local

    Hi all,
    I've a problem with flash in local: When I change settings
    (like for (un)active the microphone or the storage settings), the
    news settings are not saved. This "bug" don't work online...
    What do I have to do to correct this? I use Vista SP1, I
    tried to re-install flash 9 (before I've uninstall it), reset my
    PC, re-download and re-install programs who I use in local
    Thanks

    Can you provide a screenshot of your settings? (Obscuring any personal info, of course.) Can you provide the error message you are getting?
    Many people have gotten the new settings to work on Mac platforms, but without seeing your settings it is going to be very hard to figure out where the problem is.

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010. C: blocked by GPO. Designer application can not save. Ther

    Hello,
    Please I need some help if possible. I just recently upgraded a user to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and reinstalled her Acrobat 7. We locked down c: thru GPO, and it seems this is causing an issue when she uses Designer. She and click save or save as all she wants but nothing happens. If I log in under admin (i can see c:) everything works fine, if possible could someone lead me to the solution. We can not open c: for her, if there is a registry edit where i can change the default location that would be great.Thanks in advance.

    If the Win7 is a 64-bit system, you will need to upgrade the Acrobat to XI. AA 7 will work with Win7, 32-bit, after some playing around but will not be automatic. I am specifically referring to printing to the Adobe PDF printer. PDF Maker will definitely not work with OFFICE 2010, that requires AA X with updates as a minimum.
    For AA7, the AcroTray function will probably fail (it did for me on a 64-bit system). In fact, you will likely not even get a printer. I was able to install an HP PS printer (color should probably be selected) and change the name to the Adobe PDF printer. Then change the port to file. When you print to the printer, it will create a PS (actually listed as PRN) file that can then be opened in Distiller to complete the process of the PDF creation. For most users, this is not an obvious solution -- I even did it with AA5 on a 32-bit Win7. Because of the issues, it is strongly recommended to upgrade (at this point it is a new purchase since AA9 is needed for the upgrade at present) to AA XI. Sorry for the bad news, but AA7 is 8 years old and is ancient in software terms (OK, I still have it on some XP machines).
