Firefox tracks location, how could I remotely find my location history?

Hi there, I know that Firefox tracks my location to customize search results, gather information, etc. etc. My laptop was recently stolen and I was wondering if I can remotely access this location history...

Firefox doesn't store location data, all it does is make your location available to certain websites (if you allow it). For example, you visit google maps, you can allow google maps to know your location to make search results more relevant.

I'm sorry about your situation, but i don't think Firefox's locatoins services will be of any use to you, unless you somehow set up a website, had the thief visit the website using Firefox, allow sharing the location and you knew it was your laptop, an somehow capture the location data from the website. And even then the results are only so accurate (I believe several hundred feet can be the margin of error). Your best results will be to contact the police (which I'm sure you've already done).

How do you remotely find a stolen laptop?

   A week ago my car was broken into and all my computer equipment was stolen. I've already posted about this in the community and asking ways to access
   my remaining data from the iPhone on to the new laptop.
   It's probably to late and was told about remotely accessing my laptop. But I don't know how I can do this and if this was something I needed to configure
   before it was stolen?
   If so, how can I set this up for the new computer? It sounds like this can work if a laptop theft was to occur.

Hello Meg The Dog!
I remember you helped me out 2 summers ago on a final cut issue I was having. You were great enough to
walk me through the various steps to solve my issue. Unfortunately all that work is now gone because of the recent theft of all my computer equipment.
Hence why I'm asking about Apple remote.
I will take a look at the "hidden link" app and once I get my laptop replaced I will have some serious
"prevention" on that and my other equipment.
Any other thoughts are welcomed...

Where can I find android version history on desktop version?

Hi!
Thank you for your great effort to bring the Firefox Sync.
On my Firefox for Desktop (v30.0), I cannot find the browsing history of my Android device, which is running the Firefox for Android (v30.0).
On the other hand, I can find the browsing history of Firefox for Desktop on my Firefox for Android.
Please kindly show me where I can find the Android history on Desktop.
Or you can implement this feature.
Thanks a lot.

Type the '''about:sync-tabs''' in URL and you can see the History of another SYNCed Device

It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone.

How accurate is the "Find my Phone" app, if not in a free wi-fi area could it bounce a 100/200 metres to the next nearest to show its location as being there instead?

How accurate is the "Find my Phone" app, if not in a free wi-fi area could it bounce the location of the phone a 100/200 metres?
Can there be technology glitches in fairly condensed areas?

I do not know about the UK, but the "accuracy" of the application in the US would not support a search warrant or confrontation. I have no specifics about the exact accuracy.

I lost my iphone and in "icloud find" it was offline how could I deactivate remote deletion ...

I lost my iPhone and in "icloud find" it was offline .
how could I deactivate remote deletion which I choose by mistake ?
Actually there was 3 options and I chose to "remote delete" afterward I realized that It was better to choose "Lost mode"
now page is locked and I can not undo and choose the other option ...
could you please help me?

Sorry, there is no magic way to find it. You will need to search for it, as you would with any other object.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

TS4006 How do I remotely turn on find my iPad if it's stolen?

How do I remotely turn on find my iPad since it was stolen? I have the WiFi address! How can I locate it and can a third party locate it for me?

You cannot remotely turn it on. "Find my iPad" needs to be setup on the device BEFORE it is stolen.
The WiFi address does not help in any way. You cannot locate it if the device is off. A third party cannot locate it for you.

I lost my ipod how could i locate it

how could i locatewmy ipod

Look for it.
IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself and it is on and it is connected to wifi, then you may be abel to get an approximate street address.
Otherwise, you cannot track it.

How could i know where can i find my picture just taken by camera roll.

Hi Friends,
I am using iPhone 5s via window 7.
I have no icloud sync or other things complicated.
I can't use itunes to move picture from my phone to office computer, so i use iPhone cable, and select trust on the plugged computer.
However, when the time being, there are more and more folders appear, naming like : 815KMYLY , 823WGTMA, 990WNQLR, 966VWNR something like that and it's about 18 folders already.
It occupied space in my phone, but the most trouble thing is... i can't locate my my picture just taken and i need to open the folder one by one to search it.
Any genisus can suggest how could i do about it ?
thanks
Jackson

Hi,
I also facing the same problem as you and I try to find the best answer from Google.
This is the basic way that I found,
1.go to the DCIM folder
2. Search *
3.then you can see and manipulate all the pictures in the subfolders at once
4.Change your view function --> select --> details
5. Then you can re-arrange all items by Date modified.
Hope this can help.

how can i get FIND button and hotmail button to the toolbar, and how do i update firefox i dont want to update automatically

Thanx 4 your "you're welcome" cor-el. It's now 4p.m. E.S.T. in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Thu. 29/9/2011 and my page tells me u sent this message 21Hrs. ago. To elaborate a bit on my prev. message: I soon realized that after R clicking in the 'Downloads' screen and then on the 2nd. in the drop down menu I could click and drag and drop the icon of the wanted download into the open file or memory device as required. I would take up the offer I see in this e-mail to participate in helping like you and others do but I won't as I feel I'm not experienced enough yet. Nevertheless u keep up the good work. Yours, james1.51.
P.S. I used Google Chrome for this not Mozilla but it's still me!
