FireFox remembering last website state, even after restarting, clearing history, cookies,cache etc. No other does this (IE,Chrome,Opera...)

On the website, after 3-4 login attempts and an error message appears. You cannot retry unless you exit out of the browser(s) completely.
I closed all FireFox browsers, opened a new browser and cleared Recent History will all checked. Closed the browser and restarted the browser again. Going to the website, the error message page is displayed and not the login page.
With IE (also Chrome and Opera), after closing all the browser window(s) and restart browser and then go the website, I get to the login page, not the error message page.
It sounds like FireFox is keeping something around (even after clearing everything out) and the website is remembering you in some way.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' and click '''Reset to Default''' button
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
-> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

    When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

  • Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

    Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
    I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
    Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
    Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
    I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

    Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.

  • Firefox is running so slow even after clearing history, cookies, and cache

    My firefox browser suddenly started running very slow. I have cleared history, cookies, and cache. I have run scans, and even tried to uninstall and reinstall. it is still running slow

    flytnn,
    after a fresh install, Spotlight will need to reïndex the files on your internal disk — that happens each time a fresh installation takes place.
    I see that you have OS X 10.9.2 installed. Are you planning on installing the 10.9.3 update?
    Your installed version of Java is outdated — the most recent version can be downloaded from here.

  • Unresponsive system but mouse still moves; even after restart

    I was transferring a few files over my LAN wirelessly via file sharing to another macbook (B) when that macbook was closed and caused a disconnect. My macbook (A) has experienced issues since this disconnect. Even after restarts and resetting the pram, my system is unresponsive. The mouse will move but I cannot open applications, folders, files, or even the menu. It is as if my mouse is moving over top a picture of the desktop. I did manage to click and highlight my HD icon once but as soon as I did, the color wheel showed up and never stopped. My hard drive has over 10GB of space free. I was able to do a target disk boot and test the drive and its ok according to disk utility. Any ideas about what I could do would be greatly appreciated...preferably without wiping the hard drive.

    The first issue occurred while I was transferring large files from one computer to another via afp file sharing over my wireless network. In the middle of this transfer, someone closed the receiving macbook. The macbook sending the files didn't respond well after this. It would intermittently freeze without a linked resource draining process. I believe the first occurrence was when I tried to right click a file that had been interrupted during transfer. I forced a restart, used the killall Finder command in terminal thinking that it might still be trying to transfer the file to a ghost in some way...even though that didn't make sense. I was able to verify and repair the external drive the file was on. After doing this and resetting the PRAM, it was back to normal for a little while. After a bit of normal activity (nothing strenuous), it began to freeze again. I tried the same steps and also booted in target disk mode so I could use the other macbook to run diagnostics. The drive got repaired. I attempted to restart the affected macbook but I couldn't do anymore than one thing and the never-ending colorwheel would appear. That one thing could be a single click on a file or an attempt of opening an application. After that I turned to this discussion forum after already impatiently attempting to safe mode boot and repair disk permissions. I tried this again with patience after your suggestion. It worked for a few hours and I was able to surf the web once more and go about the usual. I pulled up dashboard and pressed command+ to bring up the list of widgets and it froze on me again. I attempted previous steps again after restarting but there has been no difference in response. Throughout the entirety of this experience, there have been no error messages. Also, there's no difference in behavior if I disconnect everything but the power cable.
    Sorry for the lengthy post but hopefully it will be helpful.

  • Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to, and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

  • When the Mavericks download was complete (about 45 minutes), nothing happened, even after restarting. Still running 10.8.5

    When the Mavericks download was complete (about 45 minutes), nothing happened, even after restarting. Still running 10.8.5

    Look in your Applications folder. Is there a Mac OS X Mavericks installer in the folder? If there is then select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. See if the size of the file is around 5.3 GBs. If it is then try double-clicking on it to run it. If you cannot run it, then you have an incomplete download. Try it again. It's a very large file, and unless you have a really fast pipe it can take longer than 45 minutes to download.

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • Even after downloading add on of youtube to mp3 it does not show

    I have installed you tube to mp3 add on many times and also similar add ons but even after restarting mozilla firefox repeatedly i am unable to see the add on below you tube videos.

    Try to disable Private Browsing mode to see if that helps.
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

  • Previous image flashes on the screen occasionally when opening safari. Even after clearing history and cache.

    Occasionally an image from a previous website appears briefly when opening safari. I'm afraid it might do it with a site that has private information and other individuals use this ipad. Is this a problem fixed in the updates to the iOS or something different entirely.  The image flashes sometimes even after clearing history and cache.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Is Firefox creating a file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I can't sign into my Youtube account on Firefox, but it works fine on Safari and Google Chrome. Deleting my web history, cookies, and etc didn't help. PLZ HELP!

    I click on sign in on Youtube.com and it takes me to the sign in page. I enter my information (correctly, duh) and then I am returned to the Youtube home page. I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers. By the way the cookies ARE enabled, so Idk what the problem is.

    hello, please also make sure that in particular youtube.com & accounts.google.com are allowed to set cookies (at least for the session)...

  • My safari screen is greyed out, I checked and found a response to this question.  I went to settings and cleared history, cookies, and cache, java script is on and I restarted, screen is still grey, cant touch it to do a thing.  Help!

    my safari screen is greyed out, I checked and found a response to this question.  I went to settings and cleared history, cookies, and cache, java script is on and I restarted, screen is still grey, cant touch it to do a thing.  Help!

    That is usually the fix but try this now.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
    You can also try this - quit Safari. From the home screen - Double tap the home button and your recent apps appear the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Tap the home button twice. Restart the iPad.

    You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate.
    * Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    * Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
