Firefox recording browsing history; "You have visited this page X times."
I had to reinstall Firefox. I use Google as my search engine.
I finally got things to where my browsing history was not saved. (Or at least I assumed it was not.) Suddenly, a week after I reinstalled Firefox, I am getting that tag "You have visited this page X times. Last visit was [date]." What is going on?
I DO NOT want my history tracked. I have Firefox clear the cache EVERY session, and I also run CCleaner.
What is very interesting about this is, I have requested my history not be tracked many months prior to reinstallation, and it seemed to not be doing it. Yet, today, when I do a Google search, it tells me my last visit to a certain site was 4/26. NOTE: I have had (supposedly) Google not tracking my search history for months.
Also note: This time, I left checked the "Remember search form and history box." But if I supposedly wasn't being tracked before, why the heck does it remember the last time I visited a site?
I want to know definitively--Is there a way to make my usage utterly anonymous, at least to Google. I am trying to get an idea of where a nonprofit site I run is appearing in search results. Because Google starts putting first any site you regularly visit, this makes it impossible for me to track how the site is actually doing.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
For research purposes, you could:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. However, Flash cookies may be shared among profiles (maybe, not sure).
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Do not delete anything!
Click the Create Profile button, use name like June2014, and skip the option to change the folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
''Before searching:'' Let's take Flash cookies out of the picture by preventing sites from using Flash automatically. To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
And finally, does Google give you different results in this new profile?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

what settings do I need to have to access Ashford University's student portal using either Safari or Firefox when I get the following message: The system is unable to process your response at this time. If you feel you have received this message in error. Please contact your System Administrator, or try again at a later time.
I am able to get to the Ashford University login display with no difficulties with both Firefox and Safari. Obviously without a student password I cannot go any further. If you can do the same, then clearly the problem is at the other end. If that is the same case with you, then there is no advice that I can give you but to stir the pot as best you can.

I have SP Server 2010, and when I try to DELETE a rule within an existing Audience, "Property (Account Name) = domain/username", I get this error, "An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this
is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this
problem persists, please contact your administrator." When I try to "MODIFY" the rule I get this error, "One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
The last time I checked it was working, I'm not aware of any new updates installed recently? I did a full Profile Synchronization as well, but still not working, please advise? -- EvenstarlineHi Sara,
First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account. I
was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well. I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
my novice questions below?
1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm). Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"? I checked all
3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem? What does it do? And How do I run it?
4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log. I'd just downloaded a viewer for it. I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
Admin is installed)? There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?
Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button. -

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.
Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Skype payment error. "You cannot access this page....
Hi,
I'm trying to purchase $10 worth of Skypre credit. I entered my card information and clicked next and this error massage appeared.
You cannot access this page.
This may be due to one of two reasons:
1. The FI you are trying to access is deactivated
2. The access to the FI is restricted for specific IP addresses, and your address is not one of them.
Does anyone have a solution?OK. So this is an ongoing problem and has been for over 1 month. The only way I could submit a payment is using paypal. I tried a mastercard and Visa - neither worked. Use paypal or transfer a bank payment - that is your best chance of updating it. Apparently their technicians are working very hard to fix this but it's still not working. Changing web browsers, computers etc don't work. Good luck. It's taken me 3 weeks to finally give up and use paypal.
