Firefox doesn't recognize my cookies anymore. I see the cookies in Preferences/Privacy, but Firefox isn't using them.

I have to log into all my sites all over again. My cookies aren't recognized. I see the cookies when I go to FF Preferences Privacy tab. But Firefox isn't using them: I have to log in to sites I've previously visited. Firefox just started doing this suddenly: no crash preceded it. What to do?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
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.

  • HT1238 my computer doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore.

    My Mac doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore. when I insert it to be recharge the battery, it does not show up in the devices menu.

    What generation iPod Shuffle do you have?  Are you sure the connections are secured on each end?  See here for more information.
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
    So if I understand you correctly, the Shuffle used to work with this particular Mac. Do you know what could have or did change since the last time it was able to successfully connect?

  • I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone I need to enable. Thanks.

    Question
    I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone and I think I need to enable. I can't log on to Citibank to pay my bills using Firefox or Safari for that matter. Citibank says cookies must be enabled to access their on-line bank. I wonder if this is the problem...cookies that is?

    Yes, I found the cookies, and thanks for taking the time to help out. I called Citibank. They told me that they will not support Firefox or Safari for Mac because our user group is too small for them and the expense too high. The person that I spoke to said in the past, Firefox has worked with Citi, but that was just by accident. At the moment they have no plans to help Mac people using the latest OS log onto their website or enable programs like my Quicken or Mint.com to access. They don't work anymore either. I think all the problems happened after the last OS update.

  • For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

    my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
    thanks

    A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore.  It does not erase the iPod.  A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
    The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF.  It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls.  The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
    Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF.  But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle).  I just stop playing music and leave it alone.  The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

  • Mac Air new-bought one week ago- doesn't recognize my IPhone 4 even after the upgrade to IOS 7!!

    Hi everyone, I bought a Mac Air 11" one week ago, so it's super new. When I connect my IPhone 4, now updated to IOS 7, it doesn't recognize it, it doen't charge it and the vibration goes like crazy! Sometimes it appears that there's the lock that forbids it, but I've always used it and I never had problems.. also cause the Ipad is locked as well and there are no problems!
    Has anyone had the same problem??
    thanks!

    More than likely an issue with your phone.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or  AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required.
    The fact that the vibration goes like crazy  is suggestive of an issue.

    Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
    Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Elba,
    Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
    I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
    I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
    The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
    If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
    Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
    Kind regards,
    Nik

  • Server App doesn´t recognizes Admin PW anymore

    Hi everybody
    I recently bought a Mini Server with OSX Lion- and migrated my old Snowleopard Server to it.
    After 3 tries and upgrading the old server to Lion as well it kind of "worked"
    Last week after a restart the ServerApp doesn´t recognize any admins passwords anymore and therefore leaves me a bit distressed...
    Any ideas to where I could find the solution (or what the problem really is)??

  • Aperture doesn't recognize my lens anymore

    A couple of weeks ago Aperture suddenly didn't recognize my lens anymore. It has always did before. I use Aperture version 3.2. The lens is Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM, but now it only shows up as "Unknown (174)  135mm". My camera is 5D Mark II. When the lens is mounted, I can go into the camera's menu and read that the camera recognize my lens correctly. So why doesn't Aperture? Is the problem my lens, or is it Aperture?

    Thank you! It was good to hear that it was just a software problem and not my lens. I assume that you have already reported to Apple, but I did it too, so I hope it gets corrected soon.

  • My photoshop CS3 doesn't recognize raw files anymore.

    I have an iMac G5 with Photoshop CS3 installed on it. I decided to install on this iMac my husband's French version of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. It turned my Photoshop CS3 (English) to Photoshop Extended CS3 in French.
    I tried reinstalling my Photoshop CS3 in English but to no avail. This brought no change. Photoshop is still in French.
    Then I realized, when I use this Photoshop CS3 Extended version in French, that I cannot open raw files on it. It either tells me it doesn't recognize this type of files or it does open it and it looks all grey.
    Please, I need help. Any suggestions?
    Thank you so much to whomever will rescue me!!

    How would I update the camera raw pluggin? Mine is 4.0.
    Thanks!

  • Help!  iPhoto doesn't recognize my camera anymore

    My Pentax Optio S4 has worked great for the last couple of years - when I plugged in the USB cable, iPhoto opened and all went well. Now all of a sudden nothing happens, and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera and neither does Image Capture. Did I inadvertantly DO something, or does anybody know what happened and how to get my seamless importing back?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Move the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and the "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" files from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash and reset the Image Capture preferences to recognize your camera.

  • Mac doesn't recognize external HD anymore. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Everyone. Suddenly, my MAC mini doesn't recognize my external hard drive any more. It was fine for years and today it's not "there".
    I tried connecting with different fire wire cables and still, same problem.
    I also tried connecting the external HD to my iMac and still, doesn't recognize it.
    I tried restarting many times, still, same problem.
    I tried disconnecting all cables and power cords, reconnecting them and powering on, and that didn't resolve it.
    I have been searching the web all morning for ideas and can't seem to find a solution.
    The external HD is a Maxtor III 300 GB. Older one but was big enough for my needs.
    I was reading that sometimes doing a software update might cause an issue with external HDs. I just don't know how to resolve that if it is.
    This hard drive is formatted for the Mac.
    According to Maxtor I do not need to update my drivers. I was thinking that maybe one got lost.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Christine

    If only the mini couldn't read it, that would lead down one path. However, if both the mini and the iMac can't read it, that sort of points to an issue with the drive. Do you hear the drive power up? If you have an external power supply have you tried that or do you use that with it?
    It's possible that the hard drive is in fine condition, and it's the case electronics that are acting up. You should be able to pull the hard drive out of the Maxtor case and put it into another external case, to read the hard drive, assuming the drive itself is OK.

  • MbP doesn't recognize external HD anymore!?

    Hi,
    I know there are some disscusions about this topic, but nothing is really like mine problem I think.
    So my problem is; suddenly my mbp did not recognoze my external hd anymore. I was watching a serie from my EHD, and I wanted to click to the next episode.
    My mbp said; 'external hard drive in 'save mode'. So I tried to get it back through disck utility, I checked my settings in finder. I tried to start up my mbp a coulpe of times. Tried to start it up in save mode, single user mode and all the other tricks. Nothing worked.
    Then my seconds problem came up. My mbp got stuck in the save mode. It did not wanted to start up at all. So I made a appointment at the apple store to get it ficked. They said to me to try to start it up with the option key.  So that I can start it up from the right harddrive (witch was my external probably)
    So I did that and it worked. Made a back up of course. But my mbp still does not see my EHD. no where. Not in disck utility or anything.
    I know my EHD still works, because I see the light, and hear it somethimes. I also tried to let it work with a other usb cable and other inputs.(it did not work)
    I want to try to solve this problem by my self firts before I make a new appointment at the apple store. but I need a little help from you guys.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem, anyone with experience with this?
    Please help me out here please.
    Thanks allready!

    - Seems like the HD died.
    - I do not understand what yo mean by
    There is an offer to copy the contents of my hard drive to another hard drive, but only if I erase the target drive?????

  • IPhone doesn't recognize sim card anymore after the update

    The update completely borked my phone. I bought it in Beijing, China. Made sure it was unlocked (from an official apple store) and they told me it was. Worked fine with my Swedish sim card, went back to China after a few months and it worked fine with my Chinese sim card. Got a popup today from itunes telling me that there's an upgrade so I upgraded it. Now it tells me it doesn't support my sim card, I've tried recovering it with DFU/DUF (cant remember the name) but it didn't help. This really blows, if I've lost all of my phone numbers etc now because of this bleep I'm going to be furious.
    Any tips? Ideas?

    Okay, here comes an update.
    I went to the store where I bought my iPhone and I told them about my problem. Here's where it starts to get funny.
    Apparantly they had imported my iPhone from USA and they even jailbroke it. (I had NO IDEA)
    With other words, the reason as to why the phone was unlocked was because they jailbroke it. Something they never told me. So naturally when I updated my phone in iTunes (not knowing it was jailbroken), the phone got locked.
    Pretty ****** huh? An official reseller of apple products actually jailbreak their products and then sell them to people who simply don't know any better.
    So I've wasted around $600 for nothing. They KNEW it would get locked, they KNEW that what they were doing was illegal and still they did it.
    This is ridiculous.
    Edit: I also forgot to mention, they pretty much just told me "nothing we can do about it".
