Force Firefox to cache only HTTPS content

I use a transparent proxy for HTTP content but not HTTPS content for obvious reasons. I would thus like to not cache any HTTP content but only HTTPS content. I've found ways to prevent HTTPS caching but not the otherway around. Is this impossible with Firefox?

It looks like it is both or none: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.use-cache] You may find what you are looking for in the [addons.mozilla.org] search as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience, however there may also be a third party software that does what you are looking for.

Only after deleting filesystem based cache files new content is shown

Hi,
it seems that new content on my pages ends up in the filesystem cache on the middle tier. I have no influence on behaviour via the (caching concerned) page settings.
Neither does a invalidate cache on the Access tab has any effect.
Only when I remove middle tier cache files (in ..Apache\modplsq\cache) my new content shows up on the page.
Has anyone had this behaviour ?
Oracle says that this is normal behaviour and I should see in to the documentation to change this ....
I'm lost though...
Thanx Dave Ruzius

Dave,
What do you mean by not having access to influence the caching - do you mean you don't have admin access to the pages in question ?
I suggest you read this document to understand the caching mechanisms for pages.
Bottom line is, there are 3 caching modes (prior to 10g) for pages..
- cache page defn only
- cache page and content for [n] minutes
- don't cache
from what you're describing it sounds like the page has been cached with cache page and content for n minutes. This will cause the content to be cached in the file cache and the local browser cache but NOT in the webcache. The content will be cached for a period of time defined by the page designer, and will only expire after that time has expired. There should be a refresh link on the page when it's cached using this method (unless the page designer has removed it)..
Does that help ?

Firefox.exe suddenly only 2 KB (and IE 1 KB) & flagged up as malware

On January 13 (2015), I was surprised to find my Kaspersky anti-virus software (Pure 3.0 at the time) flagging up the following as malware (trojan):
firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe HEUR:Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
iexplore.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe HEUR:Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
eBay Sidebar for Firefox.lnk C:\Users\David\Desktop\eBay Sidebar for Firefox.lnk HEUR:Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
I followed the instructions to quarantine and re-boot. No problem. After re-boot, I could not access Firefox and discovered that it had indeed been quarantined - along with IE (which I rarely use) and eBay Sidebar for Firefox (which I haven't used in a long time). On restoring these, they are again identified as malware. Further investigation revealed that firefox.exe was only 2 KB in size - and IE was only 1KB.
Kaspersky advised to upgrade to Total Security, which I did and this stopped identifying the files as malware. Full virus checks, including from safe mode, revealed nothing. Running a suite of recommended anti-malware programs did pick up a limited number of bits and pieces (and which I deleted) that Kaspersky didn't, although my research on the net points to them all being the kind of things that produce unwanted adverts on browsers .... not anything that would wipe or rename programs (I didn't see any unwanted ads, though, possibly because of my settings in Firefox, Kaspersky and NoScript).
Kaspersky feels firefox.exe was corrupted (well at 2 KB, it's certainly not right) - although what corrupted it is another question. All other files in \Mozilla Firefox seem to be there, and I have no issues with any other software or files on my PC (just these three). Yet the same thing happened to IE at the same time. That makes a failing hard drive very unlikely indeed - but it does make me suspicious that there was *something* that deliberately did this, which Kaspersky did not pick up. However it would be unusual for decent anti-virus software like Kaspersky to miss something. Further, the same issue should have been occurring widely around the same time, because if everyone around the world were losing their browsers it would have made the news - not to mention advertising malware that corrupts both browsers being rather self-defeating!!
Incidentally, the desktop shortcuts have been replaced by the default Windows icon for programs that don't have a custom-made shortcut. And clicking on what was the Firefox shortcut opens a DOS box, that closes immediately; IE does the same but a "16 bit MS DOS Subsystem" error box appears (those were the days!) with:
C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet Explorer.lnk
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS: 123f IP:012d OP: 8f af 9f 6e ba Choose 'Close' to terminate this application.
[Clicking 'close' or 'ignore' both close the DOS box - and that's it. No virus or anything similar is picked up and four anti-malware programs I'm using now show my system to be clean]
So my questions are:
(1) Any thoughts as to what happened?
(2) I need to get Firefox working again. Can I simply copy firefox.exe from another machine and replace the existing 2 KB firefox.exe, and everything should be fine, as it was before .... or is it not as simple as that?? (I understand Firefox keeps preferences, etc., in separate files).
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Dave

Sorry you have had this problem
It my be possible and work if you overwrite the problem ''firefox.exe''
However that could cause problems and the usual solution would be to download and install Firefox again from an official site, and using a clean install involving deleting the existing program files. (CARE leave the Firefox profile folders and files alone. In fact it would be worthwhile, as a ''belts braces'' precaution; locating and backing them up first )
* See [[Firefox keeps crashing at startup#w_try-a-clean-install]]'''_try-a-clean-install'''
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
** [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-firefox]]'''_finding-your-profile-without-opening-firefox'''
As for what happened, you have given a well reasoned and intelligent summary but after the event it is going to be almost impossible to pin it down. Sometimes AV does flag false positives especially temporarily &/Or if not fully updated.
===Clean Reinstall ===
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

How to fix, that changing to another tab in firefox won't change the content displayed?

The problem showed up some weeks ago on my ubuntu linux system. Switching tabs works in a second seperate firefox windows if i open more than one but not in the first one. Dragging tabs between windows works. The problem persists even after some regular firefox updates from the ubuntu repos.

Is there any addon (or somthing else) to SIMULATE ie9s "display only secure content"

i tried https everywhere and forcing with no script fruitlessly
since firefox does not display a detailed message, here is a screen shot from chrome: http://image.bayimg.com/baadpaaee.jpg
here the OFFICIAL answer from m$: "This message is telling you that there may be both secure and non-secure content on the page. Secure and non-secure content, or mixed content, means that a webpage is trying to display elements using BOTH secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections. This OFTEN happens with online stores or financial sites that display IMAGES, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured. The risk of displaying mixed content is that a non-secure webpage or script might be able to access information from the secure content."
certain thumbnails of close friend notifications and app requests NULLIFY the encryption and firefox doesnt padlock unlike chrome
so how to FILTER unencrypted info FROM the encrypted :)
"An attacker can replace any unprotected, unsecure HTTP content on an otherwise secure, HTTPS page with a “poisoned” version. For example, when you visit https://www.youtube.com with different browsers and a man-in-the-middle attacker present, you’ll see different results. Most other browsers just show the unprotected content automatically, allowing a spoofing or information disclosure attack"
this pees me out :D

Hmm, well, many hours later, I have a Greasemonkey userscript that clears many insecure elements, but it doesn't work on scripts. By the time I edit or delete the script tag, Firefox has already requested the script. So I think it will take a real add-on.

Firefox Not Displaying Web Page Content.

When going to some web pages with an initial welcom/subscribe pop up window, such as
http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_0702_ford_mustang_distributor_rebuild/viewall.html
the background window does not show any content(although it does show a background).
I have another PC with Firefox that does display the content. I have compared all of the settings and they appear to be the same. I have also cleared the cache. However, the window content is still blank.

Is it possible to force Firefox to load a url in a tab when opening a new page (before the page has loaded)?

Recently when using a rather unreliable internet connection I'm often get dropped connections that prevent pages from loading.
In the past this used to result in an "Unable to connect to server page" when the timeout happened, which was fine as I could just refresh the page.
These days however the page is timing out when the page is still on the about:blank stage (or stuck on the current page), before the url has been updated, so I'm losing the address.
Is there any way to force firefox to update the url as soon as the page load request is made, as opposed to when it recieves a response from the server (which is how it seems to work at the moment)?

If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox not honoring "Offline Web Content And User Data" settings

Firefox always accepts offline web content and user data, I never get any notification regardless of the "tell me when a website asks to store data for offline use" setting (found in Preferences > Advanced > network).
I also completely cleared the about:permissions tab. Regardless of the "All sites > Offline storage" setting, offline storage is always allowed.
Here is a step- by step guide to reproduce my issue.
1. Make sure about:permissions is clear
2. make sure the list at: preferences > Network > "The following websites are ...." is also clear
3. Close the preferences window
4. Go to go to http://appcachefacts.info/demo/ ... No notification regarding offline cache will be shown.
5. Open the preference window, the list at preferences > Network > "The following websites are ...."
Will now be populated with http://appcachefacts.info (1.1MB)
This list entry persists even after closing the browser window and re-opening it.
This happens with complete disregard to the settings described in the first paragraph.
I found a related issue, but it is old and archived:
https://support.mozilla.org/he/questions/981189

Firefox will store small amounts (less than 50 MB) of data without asking for permission.
*offline-apps.allow_by_default;true
*offline-apps.quota.warn;51200
You can toggle the offline-apps.allow_by_default pref to false to make Firefox ask.

Is there any way to cache only specific sites?

''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/830618''
I mean to cache only the sites i'm visiting frequently, e.g. my bookmarked sites.

The simplest time-saving extension to keep you from accidentally visiting certain sites is at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476

How can I force Firefox to override javascript when opening links with ctrl+click?

There are certain sites that always open up a link in the active window despite said links being opened by ctrl+clicking it. Basically what happens is that a java script on the site forces the active window to load the link while at the same time Firefox follows the ctrl+click command and loads it in a new tab. You end up with two tabs with the same information and always have to go back in your original tab to be able to open other links.
Usually you can open the link the way you want by right-clicking and selecting 'Open Link in New Tab' but for some reason ctrl+click is treated as if it was a regular click. How can I stop this from happening and force Firefox to ONLY load the new tab?
This problem is not specific to the version of Firefox I'm using or the operating system, but seems to be caused by java script on the site. Disabling java scripts makes the problem go away but sometimes it also disables the sites.

If you're trying to protect your browser from hackers, I'd recommend setting up a master password for your saved passwords. Other than that, your anti-virus and firewall are responsible for keeping your computer safe.
If you're trying to protect your browser from someone else (i.e. somebody who can physically use the computer) just lock your entire computer with a password. If someone else has to use it, you could try letting them use the guest account.

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address).

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address) and block traffic from everything else (the entire web) other than the one site I want to allow? The site I want to allow is a corporate web application that will only work in firefox. We as a business run a windows server and all client desktops run Internet Explorer with security setting controlled by group policy. We have already locked down the security setting in firefox so users can’t bypass the proxy server settings.

I have a proxy server set up (Symantec.cloud). Fire fox is “locked” so users would find it difficult to bypass it.
I have a file: '''local-settings.js '''
This is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
The content of this file is:
''pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");''
I also have the file: called: '''mozilla.cfg'''
This is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
The contents of this file is:
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
All that is working fine, users can’t easily change the connection settings.
So all that is good and works…
What I would also like to do is set firefox so access is limited to 1 IP address and nothing else is allowed (the whole internet is blocked, except this one IP address).
You suggest using a PAC file - I was unsure how I would use a PAC file, (I have never written one) and do not understand how I would implement one? Please help.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 only to find my Roboform disappeared - it takes me to the site to buy a license that I already have

I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 only to find my Roboform disappeared - When I click on Roboform Toolbar, Firefox takes me to the site to buy a license that I already have. What happened to my Roboform Toolbar, which was working and now it's there?

Depends upon the version of Roboform you have. Roboform Pro v.6 needs to be updated to v.7 for Firefox 4.0 compatibility.
If you are using the '''Full RoboForm Toolbar''', install the Roboform adapter for '''Firefox 3.0 - 4 beta X''' from here: <br />
http://www.roboform.com/firefox.html
Scroll down that page, you want the one shown under: <br /> '''Additional Full RoboForm Toolbar Information''' <br />

How to force Portal not to display item content for a custom item

Hi,
I've read in several places questions about rendering an Item in a custom way, without letting portal
display the item content, if you read along I've discovered a SIMPLE WAY to force portal not to
display the content item.
As per bugs and requests on metalink it seemed that in many versions of Oracle Portal (mine is 9.0.4.1)
this is impossible, since even if we remove the "Item Content" from the list of displayed attributes in the
region, Portal does display it anyway, just after every other Attribute.
- Re: using an item type procedure
- Metalink BUG # 3998251 "ENH: SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE "ITEM CONTENT" FOR TEXT ITEMS OR NEED A NEW ITEM TYP" and is being looked into internally whether it is feasible to include this in future releases.
- Metalink Doc ID:      Note:290534.1          Subject:      Unable to Hide the "Item Content" Attribute for a Text Item
Mine scenario was the usual one:
-oracle portal 9.4.0.1
-a custom item based on custom text (so as to have the RTE to edit HTML).
-A few attributes that help me define the class of an enclosing DIV tag that I wanted to put (a class and an ID)
-A plsql call associated to the custom item, with the flag "display inline" checked
-The dirty HTML generated by the built-in Oracle RTE (with BODY and HTML tags enclosing the actual HTML)
-The region that will contain the item is set so that just the "Function Call" is (or should be) displayed
I wanted to control entirely the display of the item text, while enclosing it in a custom DIV tag.
After a few tries, one of which involved forcing an HTML comment around the item content that Portal stubbornly
displayed, I've discovered this simple way. I don't know hom much this way is portable, but is done entirely with the APIs.
In the stored procedure that displays the item, that I encolose, i just do:
1) retrieved the ITEM querying WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS;
2) updated the ITEM via WWSBR_API.MODIFY_ITEM, passing as display_otpion the value WWSBR_API.FULL_SCREEN!!
Here I try a little explanation:
An item just created has FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=0. This way the stored procedure is executed
AND the item content is displayed.
WIth the modify_item, the item gets FULLSCREEN=1 and INPLACE=2 !! This seems strange since the docs
tells that inplace can be 0 or 1. But this works.
I've played with the WWV_THINGS table directlry, and setting INPLACE to 0, 2 or 3 works as well, while
if it is set to 1, it behave the usual way.
The trick is to have FULLSCREEN to 1 while INPLACE is not set to 1.. and this was the easiest solution.
I'd like to receive a feedback from Oracle regarding this behaviour.

Hi,
I've read in several places questions about rendering an Item in a custom way, without letting portal
display the item content, if you read along I've discovered a SIMPLE WAY to force portal not to
display the content item.
As per bugs and requests on metalink it seemed that in many versions of Oracle Portal (mine is 9.0.4.1)
this is impossible, since even if we remove the "Item Content" from the list of displayed attributes in the
region, Portal does display it anyway, just after every other Attribute.

Only HTTPS requests are working for SOAP Sender and HTTP not working

wHi Experts,
We have enabled our HTTPS port ( SSL ) in NWA -- >> Security -- >> SSL and Key stores. So understanding is HTTPS port is now enabled on top of HTTP. So PI should be able to cater requests at both ports.
Now, we have developed a synchronous SOAP to RFC scenario and downloaded WSDL file. This file has both links -
a. http:<host>:<port>
b. https:<host>:<port>
We intend to make a PI system where both ports can work. Now questions.
1. When we test web service exposed from PI using SOAPUI tool, only HTTPS works fine and gets the response back. If we try HTTP URL, an error is encountered - HTTTPS scheme is required.
2. Is this whole understanding that both ports ( HTTP, HTTPS ) should be able to operate simultaneously correct ? Or this is not at all possible ?
3. In SOAP Sender, we tried selecting all 3 options - 1. HTTP 2. HTTPS without client authentication 3. HTTPS with client authentication.
None of the options have any effect on testing, Each time, only HTTPS request works and HTTP doesn't.
Can anyone please provide some hints for troubleshooting ?
Thanks..
regards,
Rajagopal.

The error "HTTPS scheme is required" is normally returned when the HTTP Security Level on the SOAP adapter is not set to "HTTP". I can see you have mentioned you have tried all these, maybe a cache refresh has gone wrong? Could try recreating the channel with just HTTP specified as security level and this should allow HTTP or HTTPS
I assume you are using a different port number for your HTTP and HTTPS requests from SOAP UI. Normally the HTTPS port is the same as the HTTP port number but the final zero changed to a 1 i.e. https://<host>:50001 instead of http://<host>:50000.
You should be able to confirm both HTTP and HTTPS work OK by loading some of the system webpages in a browser over HTTP and over HTTPS i.e. http://<host>:<port>/nwa and https://<host>:<port>/nwa
