Firefox 14.0.1 spontaneously stopped reading old cookies- cookies still exist

Firefox 14.0.1 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8
While browsing the internet Firefox decided that I do not have any cookies. I did not quit out of Firefox or change pages when this happened.
I had cookies when the page loaded, then Firefox appeared to have no cookies when I checked cookies in preferences. I had not changed pages, opened a new tab, cleared cookies, cleared history, or quit out of Firefox.
When I did refresh the page I was on, it acted like I had no cookies.
I checked my profile Library > Application Support > Firefox > Profiles > [PROFILE NAME]
My cookies were all still in the cookies.sqlite file.
When I quit Firefox and restarted it, my cookies were still not visible from preferences, and I was logged out of sites like Youtube. New cookies had shown up in the preferences panel from the two sites I tested.
How do I get Firefox to read ALL of my cookies again?

Try to clear the cookies.
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.<br />
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Old kexi bug still exists?

    So I was looking into using something other than phpMyAdmin for editing my databases, so I looked into kexi.  When I used the import "Structure and Data" option, it just populates the tables with empty values.
    After some searching, I found that this use to be an issue a while back: Problem and Resolution.
    Can anyone else confirm this as a still-existing (or reoccurring) bug?
    Or, am I just messing something up along the way?
    Thanks.

    I hope someone can help me... it is very important and i am desperate for answers (BUMP)

  • After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

    This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
    Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
    Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • My old iCloud ID still exists on my iPad and I can't delete it.

    I deleted my old email which was also my apple ID.  In ¨manage Apple ID¨  at apple.com I changed my primary email, but on my ipad the old apple ID remains even though the email is gone. When trying to sign in with the old apple ID it says it has been deactivated.
    How to change in iCloud/iPad settings from the old appleID for the new one?
    I can't delete the old iCloud account from the iPad because the password is not accepted for signing out of ¨find my iphone¨.
    How do I delete my old Apple ID in iCloud from my iPad and replace it with my new one?

    I found the answer... to disable "Find my iPad" first before trying to delete the iCloud account, and the password was accepted. When I tried deleting the iCloud account before disabling "Find my iPad", the password wasn´t accepted.

  • Why has Firefox 3.6.28 for PPC suddenly stopped reading stylesheets?

    Yesterday, Firefox 3.6.28 running on a PPC Mac OSX 10.5.8 stopped reading stylesheets. Displays pages without style attributes.

    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their colors in Firefox.

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • I have an old MacBook laptop and it doesn't have enough memory for a new version of Firefox; why can't I keep the old version which works fine on this computer?

    I am running Firefox version 3.6.23 and I keep getting a message saying that I should upgrade, but I am working on an older MacBook laptop computer with 640 MB of memory and an 800 MHz Power PC G4 with Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and when I tried to upgrade, your message said that it couldn't happen. Please let me keep running the older version of Firefox because it works fine on my old laptop.

    The latest 9.0.x version is not compatible with your os.
    see :[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9 System Requirements]
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a '''PowerPC Mac'''(like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
    The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.25''' (you have 3.6.23), your can download from here:

    have a question I do not use mail in my computer I use yahoo and I have all these emails and selected all and then delete then delete trash and they always come back how do I stop these old email in apple mail? I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
    <Edited by Host>

    I am soooooooooooo confused now.  Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
    1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
    2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
    Neither of the above are Apple's products.

  • Optical drive suddenly stopped reading

    I was in the middle of ripping a series of CDs in iTunes when the drive suddenly stopped reading the CDs' contents - I have tried several CDs, including re-trying ones I had already ripped. It does not get beyond track list. Do I need a new drive or can I solve it? I have also tried using a CD cleaning disc. 3 years old iMac with Mavericks installed, no previous problems. It still reads disc title and content list and loads / ejects correctly.

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • My audio spontaneously stopped working

    Hey everyone,
    I've been recently editing together a feature film and had several different timeline sequences for different scenes (one had scenes 1-9, another 10-14, etc.) I opted to combine two sequences as they were just about locked and copy/pasted one sequence and all it's contents into another. Worked just fine every other time I did it but for whatever reason, one particular set of scenes (scenes 19-22) spontaneously stopped working. All audio tracks unlinked, everything was silent, and whenI click on one, the track displays red. I attached a photo below for reference. I have another timeline that has all the raw clips synced, but the only sequence I had where everything was edited together is the one I discovered it didn't work. My DP encountered this on his own film but forgot how to solve it. Does anyone have any helpful tips or insight?

    Any help please?
