Firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser

firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser
It is a problem with firefox or is it this to to a virus?
How to fix? How to prevent?

Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only. 
Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a greenish block to indicate that it is not sure. 
You need to look at the files individually to see if any are read-only. 
Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

After moving iTunes, external drive sometimes becomes read-only after reboot

I had some system corruption a few weeks ago, and had to restore my system. As part of that prolonged effort, I decided to move my iPhoto Library and iTunes Library to external FW800 drives.
I had terrible problems initially with these drives mounting read-only. I found a relatively quick work-around, and that seemed to fix the problem. But I still have them periodically mount read-only, and I can't D/L iTunes updates, etc.
Why do they keep doing this on a reboot? Very frustrating, as I need to reboot as part of the fix, and I'm always in the middle of something else, and can't reboot at that time.

Oh, as part of this, not sure when the change was made, OSX used to keep the mounted volume name in /Volumes, even if the volume was ejected. Would cause an occasional problem - but very rare. I notice now that ML seems to create/delete these mountpoints automagically - and that's part of the problem. They get incorrect permissions when the volume mounts, and I (user I'm logged in as), can't write to the volume without some background shenanigans.
My process is this:
Unmount problem volume
Drop to terminal, and "sudo mkdir /Volumes/<mounted_volume_name>"
Remount volume via Disk Utility (you now get a "<mounted_volume_name> 1" - with CORRECT permissions)
Unmount the volume again
Remove the created directory (i.e. undo step 2)
Remount the volume - 99.9% of the time that seems to fix it.
Reboot to be sure - and it stays for a while - then at some point becomes a problem again.
Not sure if it's something in ML that's an issue - or something in iTunes or iPhoto (but can't see how they would affect the permissions when the system reboots and you login)

Firefox process occasionally continues to run after closing browser in XP Pro 64 and uses 50% CPU

Every once in awhile after closing Firefox 3.6.13 the process continues to run. The way I discover this is my CPU temperature monitor is increasing from 36C to 50C, so I open the Task Manger and see that it is using 50% of the CPU, slowing down the computer. I am running XP Professional 64 bit SP2 with all the latest updates on an Intel E8400 3.0GHz overclocked to 3.6GHz and 4GB dual channel DDR2-1066 at 800MHz. This happens only occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. I just end the task and the temperature of the CPU drops and everything is normal again.

Norton IPS is apparently a known issue being mentioned in the KB articles:
*[[firefox will not start]]
* [[firefox crashes when you open it]]
* I also found an earlier post on the Norton site http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-IPS-1-0-Addon-for-FireFox/m-p/25425#M8494 but I am not sure this is still considered a problem.
What exactly is this IPS extension. I am currently using XPs with Norton's NIS (version 18.6 - it is a paid for subscription). I do have Intrusion Prevention active in NIS but I see no specific extension or program IPS. Is this some optional additional software?
I did find an explanation but from 2009
* http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/Intrusion-Prevention-System-IPS-Your-first-line-of-defense/ba-p/124400
I am NOT using the Norton Toolbar etc. is it these components that are causing the problem i.e safe search etc.
I am not having problems with firefox hanging or continuing, despite using NIS.
There is a bug on this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548945 but that does not seem to have got very far in confirming or resolving the issue. I imagine Norton have a very large userbase and it seems unlikely that the basic NIS is itself incompatible with Firefox.

Files and folders becoming read-only

Lots of my files and folders have become read-only after
downloading Eclipse (I have used the Europa version as I needed to
also download CFEclipse as well to program in ColdFusion) and Adobe
ColdFusion. When you right-click and go to properties, the
read-only button is highlighted, so I have clicked this off, but it
reappears when you right-click and look at it again.
Does anybody know what has caused this and how I can fix
this?

Hi,
After opening your eclipse,
Hit alt+shift+w and click "Navigator"
and then select your project folder -> right click it,
Go to properties and turn off read only.

Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is still running and not responding close firefox...

Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
What can I do?

Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.

Will restore profile suing FEBE cause prefs.js become read only?

just encounter some issues related to prefs.js, and not sure why it become read only.
only did restoration of profile using FEBE, will it cause prefs.js become read only?

You can always check the read-only state of individual files if you suspect issues with files being read-only.
You normally only get a read-only state for files if you backup (copy) files to a read-only medium (CD/DVD).

Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly

I have been using Firefox for a while, and recently noticed this new feature that is causing problems. Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly, and then when restarted tries to open the same webpages. Huge problem: If it's a site with a virus it goes right back to that site. Huge problem for me- viruses must love this feature. I just want my regular homepages to open if Firebox closes suddenly. Help.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Files and folders moved to NAS become read only.

I just got an Iomega NAS. When I move files and folders to it from my Macbook, they become read only when they get there. Files from my girlfriend's PC stay read/write when they are moved to the NAS.
I first noticed this with iTunes. I changed the location of my iTunes folder to be on the NAS and I let iTunes copy the music itself. Now, I can add music by new artists, but if I try to add an artist that I already have a folder for, it won't let me because the folder is read only. Also, I can't change any of the info for any files in iTunes.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it looks like all of the files and folders on my Mac are set up so that only I can see them. When I click "get info" on any file on the computer, it shows:
me : read/write
staff: read only
everyone: read only

When I open a finder window, I see two icons for the NAS in the "shared" section. The first one is:
hmnhd-ti2mkg
When I click "get info" it shows "Kind: PC Server" and there is no mention of permissions in the "get info" box.
The second one is:
hmnhd-TI2MKG.local
When I click "get info" it shows "Kind: Server" and there is no mention of permissions in the "get info" box.
Clicking on either one of these icons lets me browse through the exact same shares and folders. There is no difference between going in to one or the other. They both have the same permissions on all folders, as well.
"Jacob's iTunes Music" is a share on the NAS. All of my read only files (that I want to change to read/write) are already in this share.
Clicking "get info" on any of the shares shows them as "Kind: Sharepoint" with no mention of permissions.
I think I'm going to try to have iTunes copy all the files to my computer, change the permissions, then have it copy them back to the NAS. Is there a way to change permissions of folders, subfolders, and files without having to click "get info" on each and every one?

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

PowerPoint Makes File Read-only After Saving

Hello all,
A couple of end users have encountered the above problem. They make changes to pptx files and after the file saves, the file becomes read only (says so on the program window). If they are not paying attention, then any other changes they make to the file
need to be saved to another file, which needless to say, is very annoying.
They have saved the file, file becomes read-only, then if they close the file and open it back up, it's fine; they can edit and save.
It happens sporadic. Could it be an autosave happening at the same time? Any others experiencing this?
Any help would be appreciated!
JB

Hard disk becomming read-only ?

hi all,
I've been having a curious problem for about a year now. After a few days not so intensive usage, my iMac's hard disk becomes read-only. Most programs become unusable of course, some actually work as long as they don't try to write anything...
Symptoms:
system.log isn't written to anymore (so no system error reported);
terminal works I can "ls" here and there, but mkdir, touch, or anything like that fails.
And worst, I did a clean format re-install (going from tiger to leopard), and the problem still apears.
I'm assuming it's the disk, but I get no bad blocks error in the logs (well those can't be written too, okay
Anyones gone thrue that before I replace the hard drive with a new one ?

Hi ncksayer -
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
I have not experienced your particular problem but it does sound like the drive can be an issue.
I have replaced the hard drive on an iMac of your series. If you are at all handy and not afraid to open it up it is quite easy.
Luck-

CRM Order - Item No at a Order Item becomes Read Only

Hi All,
We are creating an Order (SAP GUI) and enter a few products. For some products the ITEM NO becomes read only.
We have 2 Item Category group (NORM, VOLL) and 2 Item Categories (TAN, ZTAN). For some products (NORM, TAN) or (NORM, ZTAN) or (VOLL, TAN) the Item no becomes Read Only.
We do not have Higher level items or Alternate Items.
Could you please let us know under what conditions would the Item No become read only.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
you would have to pass the variant condition keys (and pricing factors - default is 1) to the pricing engine. I have never seen this part of the application myself and it think it is difficult to achieve this as this might be direct communication between the configurator and the pricer. The variant conditions are passed in a reference characteristic called "VKOND" to the order and then to the pricer.
Are you planning to use a configurable product or a non-configurable product for this task? If you use the later you can ensure the SAP configurator is not called and then just have to feed additional data into the pricing engine (e.g. via manual conditions or via user exits in pricing).
Regards, Marcus
