Do I have to choose private browsing everytime I go on Fire Fox ?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/792857''
Every time I go on Fire Fox I have to choose or click on private browsing, is there a way to stay on private browsing all the time ?

1. It seems that everytime any computer comes onto
the wireless network, you have to MANUALLY choose to
join, when in the past it's automatically joined, any
ideas on why this might be? It's been saved in the
keychain access and all...
Because you have a new router, ensure you have a new SSID and password.
The Keychain will be for the old network.
Also ensure you are broadcasting your SSID.
2. I really want to secure my wireless network. I've
already secured it with a WPA Personal key, but also
want to disable the broadcast of the SSID. BUT, when
I chose to do this, just like problem #1 above, I had
to join the undisclosed network manually each time
the computer was turned on.
It use to be useful, but closing your Airport or wireless network (sometimes referred to as not broadcasting your SSID) is really no longer a real option when it comes to wireless security.
A wireless network is still broadcasting and therefore detectable regardless of whether you broadcast the SSID (closed network) or not.
Some client have problems connecting to a closed network and some have problems re-connecting to a closed network. My PowerBook will not connect to a Netgear closed network, but has no issues when broadcast.
Closing your network makes it very difficult for neighbouring networks to see which channels are free thus causing interference problems. Of course if everyone runs closed networks then this can cause real issues especially in apartment blocks with multiple wireless networks.

  • Can i sync phone when your firefox does not work and I can not have it on android mydesk top works great with fire fox

    fire fox slows down and does not work on phone. but works on desk top . stilll need them to sync now can they still sync and why have you not made version for moto milesstone

    The Motorola Milestone has a low amount of system RAM and that causes very poor performance. Because of this we don't support running Firefox mobile on the Milestone.
    To set up sync you need to create a sync account on desktop Firefox. Then on the mobile device press the connect to sync and then go to desktop Firefox and enter the Sync code.

  • When I open fire fox on my desk top and it opens the web browser is Start now not fire fox how do I set it to fire fox? I downloaded fire fox 4.

    I have fire fox on my laptop And its home page is set to fire fox and the home page is fire fox.'''

    Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Does anyone know why my MacBook Air doesn't automatically pick up WiFi from my Time Machine? I have to choose my network everytime I open the laptop

    I have attempted several different choices within preferences and yet, it still won't work.  The confusing part, is that when I'm at a different location, and have chosen a WIFI network there, each time I open the laptap, it automatically connects to that network. Not so at home.  Thanks for any help or suggestions!

  • What is my maine browser closed, i am in fire fox open site in td water house, want to buy stock,tells me your maine browser closed, how can i fix it

    I like to open my main browser in f.fox. i am in td waterhouse stock site ,need to by stock does not allow me .it said you close main browser.how can i fix it.i have win7.os and f.fox browser

    According to their support page, Firefox is supported: [http://www.tdwaterhouse.ca/products-services/investing/browser-index.jsp WebBroker Supported Browsers].
    Are you using the site in a "private" window? It's possible that the site pops up separate windows and needs for the various windows to be able to share data, which might not work with private windows.
    Do you have any add-ons that might change how the site's windows work, for example, blocking pop-up windows or new tabs, or changing how frames work?
    To test how the site works with your extensions disabled, you could try Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • I used to have link to my Norton Identity Safe on my Fire Fox toolbar which filled in the user name and password for various different sites. Now it is gone and I can't seem to bring it back. Can anyone help me with this?

    I can access the feature from the Norton interface, but that doesn't make the passwords and user names fill in.

    Maybe extension are broken? Norton community can assist you further.:)

  • Private Browsing only semi-private?

    The Nov. 24 NY Times' column by Biersdorf noted that Private Browsing eliminates all traces of one's destinations -- cache, cookie, history. I, however, recalled cleaning out some cookies from sites that indeed were erased from caches and histories -- but their cookies remained. So I called up the Maxtor URL, hunted around a bit to entice cookies (after choosing "Private Browsing) and left the site.
    I checked my cookie list in Safari and found a cookie from Maxtor.
    It was not a leftover cookie from an earlier visit; I know because I usually go through my cookies once a week and, as well, have not visited Maxtor for more than a year.
    I sent in a bug report to Apple earlier today, but wonder if anyone else has found that cookies are not erased by Private Browsing.
    For the suspicious minded -- don't be silly, of course I visited ***** sites to check further. Their cookies also remained "uneaten."

  • Safari and Private Browsing

    Is there a way to turn on private browsing permanently? I check my bank account every few days because I make a lot of transactions. It's annoying to have to click Private Browsing and then OK every time I do it. Clearly, Safari doesn't have a built in feature for permanent private browsing. Can I automate it somehow? How so?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the private browsing only hide your actions from another person who may have physical contact to your computer and your user account? It doesn't actually provide a higher level of security while you're browsing the web. It doesn't affect any data or packets going in/out of your network connection, it just hides your history from prying eyes... This is the information that is not recorded (from Safari Help):
    ■ Webpages are not added to the history list.
    ■ The Downloads window is cleared so the name of anything you downloaded won’t appear in the list. (To get rid of the downloaded item itself, you must delete it.)
    ■ Information isn’t saved for AutoFill, including names and passwords.
    ■ Searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search field.
    ■ Cookies are deleted.
    But anyone on your network could still "sniff" your packets if that's what you're concerned about.
    You might consider searching or posting in the Safari forum since your question isn't really tied to the hardware of your MacBook.

  • IOS 7.04 and now Private Browsing option is gone?

    I usually always have Safari's Private Browsing enabled and now after the upgrade to IOS 7.04 on my iPad, it's not enabled and the ability to turn on/off is gone. Where did it go?
    On the previous IOS 7.0x I would click the + and in the bottom left corner Private would appear... not anymore. I also looked in Safari Settings, it's missing there too.

    Private Browsing on Safari screen. If top of screen is white Private Browsing is off.

  • Private browser option is missing

    I added an app (forgot the name of it) that was going to end "private browsing" because I wasnt to sure how to do it. Now the option in the tools dropdown menu is gone.... I am stuck in private mode and cant find a way to correct it. I've tried adding another app to reverse it but it doesnt work.

    What color is the Firefox button in the upper-left corner of Firefox? <br />
    Purple means you're in Private Browsing mode, and Orange means you aren't.
    If neither '''Start Private Browsing''' or '''Stop Private Browsing''' appear in the Firefox button drop-down (or Tools menu), you probably have the Disable Private Browsing extension installed. You can't see that extension in the Add-ons Manager tab, unless you open Firefox in the Firefox SafeMode. <br />

  • Two Firefox Private Browsing sessions are sharing data.

    I launched Private Browsing Firefox session & logged in to gmail then, I launch another Private Browsing Firefox session. This time, again I visit gmail.com & I got logged in to my gmail inbox without authentication even though I am in two different Private Browsing sessions. Then, again, I launched 3rd Private Browsing Firefox session, this time I visit google.com & I can see my gmail ID on right hand top corner.
    I have opted “Automatically start Firefox in Private Browsing” as I don’t want to let google search keep my search history.
    It seems like Firefox do share cookies & other data in Private Browsing sessions. So how these sessions can be called Private Browsing if they are sharing data?
    Note: I have tried “Start Private Browsing” manual command as well but found no difference in behavior.

    Dump firefox and use the File->New Session option in Microsoft's IE browser. I am a software developer and from my personal experience I can say that firefox sucks, and is the least secure browser out there.
    You'll find this out when someone hijacks your bank account after you've accessed it using firefox.
