Firefox fails downloads when returning from private browsing

Hi,
If I start to download a file when I'm in normal browsing mode, then for some reason switch to Private Browsing whilst the download is still in progress, the download does not show up in Private Browsing mode. I don't have any problem with that.
However, if I then return from Private Browsing mode, the download will fail. Are there any add-ons, work arounds or works in progress that will either:
a) Pause and stabilise the download upon switching to Private Browsing, and then resume the download when switching back to normal browsing mode?
or
b) Allow the download to continue whilst in Private Browsing mode and then allow you to switch back to normal browsing without the download failing?
Thanks in advance.
Matt

That should work: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3.1/PrivateBrowsing/FunctionalSpec
Maybe a problem with an extension (FlashGot) that doesn't support Private Browsing.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

HT1677 Safari when set to private browsing and cookies from sites I vist has a problem. I want it to keep cookies from sites I use such as my email and comic sites. Right now it does not retain cookies that set up my choices of comics as site internal fav

Safari on the IPAD has the following problem.
When set to private browsing and only accept cookies from sites I visit does not retain them after I shutdown Safari and then later restart it. I also found out that even if I leave it in background and close the cover of my case it will not retain the cookies even though I did not deactivate it.
Things like email Ids and cookies that contain site specific favorites get deleted.
Here is a site where you can set a series of favorites which get stored as cookies.

Trigger fire when return from called form

Witch triggers fire when returning from a called form in my master form?

There is no trigger that fires in such events for calling form.
It depends on your requirement.You can use WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
DECLARE

where_string varchar2(100);

When I use private browsing I am taken to the Mystart page in Incredimail which I don't want as I would prefer to use Bing and I wondered how I could change from Mystart to Bing

Whenever I use private browsing I have to use mystart from Incredimail and I prefer to use Bing.I cannot find anywhere in Incredimail or Firefox where I can alter this.
== Every time I use private browsing

Hello.
I can't be sure about this, but I'm guessing you have some kind of extension or plugin changing the behavior of Firefox. Try running Firefox in safe mode (to disable extensions and plugins) to see if this fixes the issue. If it does, you'll need to track down which extension or plugin is causing the problem (simply disable them one at a time). If this running in safe mode doesn't fix the issue, it's possible that some kind of about:config entry is causing the issue. Do this:
- type about:config in your address bar and press enter
- say "yes I'll be careful" if the browser asks you something
- now, search for "incredimail" (without the commas) to find any and all strings with it. Simply rightclick ALL of them and select Reset.
That should fix the issue.

How to retieve history from private browsing in firefox?

If I want to see the history in private browsing,how can I retrieve the sites which one has seen in firefox private window.

I suspect that you have a misconception of what Private Browsing is all about. See this support article for an explanation of what Private Browsing does, and doesn't do. <br />

Problem when printing from the browser

The report is displayed in the browser properly. We are using rwcgi to view the reports in the browser. But when printed using the print option of the browser, the page setup is taken from the browser's page setup. How do we set the browser's page setup from the reports? Also the fonts are changed to the browser's font. How do we force the browser to take the same font as defined in the reports?
null

Oh my how embarrassing! The only place I neglected to check was in Firefox itself and under File-> Page Setup it was set to 50%. Reset it to 100% and problem solved!

How to output HTML when called from a browser

We are trying to replace a small web app with a bpel app so it has to return HTML. I keep getting XML of the HTML as output from this simple app. It doesn't interpret the html. The bpel uses a simple assign that puts an HTML string into the "body" message then passes it to the "reply".
I have found out how to call this from the browser by changing "orabpel" in the url to "httpbinding" and then adding the "operation" onto the endpoint.
from: http://server:7777/orabpel/default/ws1/1.0
to: http://server:7777/httpbinding/default/ws1/processIs it possible to output html back to the browser and have the bpel look like a web page? Setting the mimetype of the output message type to "text/html" seems to have no effect at all.
Here is my wsdl:

Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
Thanks for your response.

LCD flash when return from sleep

Hi,
I start to notice that my display sometimes "flashs" when I "ask" to the computer return from a Sleep.
It's happens sometimes, not all time. I will start to see exact when it's happen, like If just before it's sleep, or when sleep for more time.
But anyone has notice the same thing happens??
It's a little bit annoying because I use my Mac in a "dark" room, with dimmed light, and when return this flash blind me for a few seconds.
It's really like the flash from de the photo booth, but less strong.

I had the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=555485&tstart=0
SOLUTION: Disable the screen saver (ie - set it to "never") and it won't do it. You've probably got the screen shutting down prior to the screen saver kicking in anyhow.
Hope this works - it did on mine.

Not opening an app download when coming from a webpage

I have a number of sites eg itv.com and want to download the itv player. When I click to download the app from the website, apple apps open but instead of the install window,I just get an empty white box and it hangs, I have tried leaving for hours but it stays the same.

If you are coming from the login page, are you clicking the tab at all or do you go straight from the log in page to the other page.
If you are going straight to the page from the login, then you only need to pop up the page from the tab.
May be you could change, on your tab.
Target Type = URL
URL =
javascript:popUp2('f?p=YOUR_APP:YOUR_PAGE_NO:&APP_SESSION.',1000,1000)Gus

MacBook Pro freezes when returning from sleep

I recently started using a Kensington Bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro and the computer freezes whenever I return the computer from sleep. Nothing happens when I press Command-Option-Esc. The mouse pointer moves on the screen and the dock magnification works, but I'm not able to open any programs.
I've confirmed that it has something to do with Bluetooth because I now turn off Bluetooth before returning it to sleep and it works fine. I just have to turn on Bluetooth using the trackpad and then I can use the mouse again. I'm thinking that this shouldn't be a requirement though.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do to resolve?
I appreciate any assistance!
Thank you,
Chris
Mouse: Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth
Bluetooth Version: 3.1965 (3.1965)

For those of you who are interested, I think I've isolated the issue. If I turn off the option to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer from sleep, my computer doesn't freeze when I return from sleep. This is a better option for me than turning off Bluetooth before I put the computer to sleep.
Let me know if you have any questions.

What does Firefox put onto my computer in private browsing mode?

Forgive me if this has been asked a million times before
I love private browsing but for security I'd love to know exactly what I leave on my C: Drive when I exit a Private Browsing session?
- Is there any trace of visited sites
- Is there any trace of viewed images
- Is there any trace of passwords / email addresses / text entered
- Is there any trace of MSN / Yahoo messenger conversations (in web mode)
If I use Private Browsing in combination with CC Cleaner (or similar) am I correct in assuming only my ISP can track where I've been or can other users of the same computer do this?

If you visit web pages that use MS software or plugins (WMP, Silverlight) then those plugins use the IE Temporary Internet folder and Cookies and may very well leave tracks there. Other plugins that do not recognize Private Browsing mode may very well do that. Flash 10.1 does recognize that mode, but I don't know about other plugins.

Wifi notification keeps popping up when returning from sleep

Whenever my mac mini (2012) or MBP (2007) returns from sleep I get popups of restoring wfif access. Sometimes these keep returning every minute or so, with 5 notifcations at the same time.
Does someone else experience this as well? And what is the remedy.
I do not want to restart every time I wake m macs from sleep. BTW, this was never an issue before an update on 10.7 (previous instance of 10.7) was fine. Also, do not want to migrate to 10.8 yet. as my MBP cannot.
Current OS X: 10.7.5
Cheers!

Ok, I just tried that. I deleted com.apple.KeyboardViewerServer.plist. I then started my screensaver. When I came back in...the Keyboard Viewer was back and there was a new plist file that was created...so, something else must be controlling it.
