Found secret hidden Firefox browsed screenshots

I primarily use Firefox as my browser on my newer iMac with mountain lion. I had accidentally deleted some family photos from my desktop and used a recovery tool program to scrub my hard drive for recently deleted images. The program worked very good as I was able to recover my deleted family pictures but I had to go through hundreds of images to find them. In those hundreds of images I went through, I found screenshots of my Firefox activity from banking sessions, to amazon shopping, to google searches. I was stunned. They were only screenshots of Firefox browsing sessions. Hundreds. All taken without my knowledge. I clear my data often on Firefox. Cookies, cache, history, etc. I clear everything. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? It's definitely a security issue, a lot of the screenshots even showed "sign on" screenshots of banking sessions and amazon user names, email log-ins, etc. I don't know where the screenshots are stored, like I said I used a deleted image recovery program and it doesn't tell you, it just finds files. I scoured my computer looking for jpgs, pngs, etc and couldn't find anything on my own.

i don't have a mac myself, so i cannot verify it, but according to some sources on the web, they'd likely be at ''~/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<XXX.default>/thumbnails''
the Library folder might be hidden by default

Class not found error on Firefox browser

Requirement:-
We have Apache server on the top of a tomcat container where we have deployed application Webnow. This application will provide SSO to another application Imagenow. The requirement is we have to authenticate and authorize a user based on the client certificate which will be installed on the client side browser.
Issue:-
We have achieved the requirement for the browser IE. But for browser Firefox ,we are getting an exception "Class not found". Basically an applet class from the jar is not getting loaded on the Firefox.
Further investigating on this we came to conclusion that Firefox is not able to read the SSL certificate.
In order to eliminate this, we have imported the client certificate in java console as well. After this step, we were not getting "ClassNotFoundException" in FF. But right now, user is getting prompted for certificate/keystore password each & every time while trying to login onto the application (both in IE & FF).
So, we are trying to find ways to remove class not found exception without importing client certificate to java console. Also , is there any way to eliminate the authentication pop up for keystore (though we might not go for this approach as it will be very difficult to manage Java console for end users). Need your urgent help on this issue.
Attaching stack trace of both the browser and screenshot of keystore authentication pop-up . FF_Issue_stacktrace.docx is one when we were getting "class not found exception" and IE_Stacktrace.docx is one for successful case.

We have a similar set up where we have a web app and an applet in a JSP page. You have to put your applet classes up above WEB-INF. So, if your structure for your webapp was:
tomcat/webapps/mywebapp
you'd want your classes under mywebapp instead of webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF. In your case, if I read your package structure right, you'd want a Log directory under webapp that contains your LogApplet.class file.
I hope this works for you!

I opened firefox and found this on my browser. file:///C:/Users/Public/Desktop/Mozilla%20Firefox.lnk. What is it?

I opened Firefox and the above was on my browser toolbar. It was never there before today. I inadvertently downloaded it and it was saved to my desktop. I deleted it(I hope),but am wondering what the heck it is. I hope I didn't just cause myself a lot of grief!

That's just a shortcut to Firefox browser.Right click on it and delete it.

My Firefox browser opens to a white screen and when I try to browse a website it opens a new page and is also blank

- installed a new updates for windows last night and restarted my PC
-When I open my Firefox browser it sits at a white screen, with nothing in the URL area.
-When I try to go to a website it reloads says "New Tab" and doesn't load any content and stays blank.
-running version 17.0 on Firefox
-Running Windows 7 64-bit
-updated patches from Microsoft on 12/12/12
-All my other browsers (chrome and IE) still work properly.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)

Hi there,
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
(OS: I use Windows XP).
When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
[JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
(A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
Many thanks in advance.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I am having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that best describe the problem. I have labeled them A & B. A is the way it should look and B is what happens after I have I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click on VIEW than click on customize. When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.
This began happening about a month ago. Is there a way I can fix this problem? Thanks for your help.I don't know how to attach my 2 attachments that shows the problem I am having.

Firefox 2 version 2.0.0.20. and the JRE version that is installed on the machine is 1.6.0_30.
I tried the same with FireFox version 3.0.5 and get the same issue. I did not try to open any reports. But in the infoview first page, i can not see the tool bar from where you create a new report.
The error message i mentioned in the message is actually seen in the Error console from Tools -> Error Console from the browser

Why is my Firefox browser slow all of a sudden?

All of a sudden, my Firefox browser is extremely slow. I did not change anything nor did I download any software.
It takes me some time to go to web pages and such. What can i do?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).

Some ADF pages are broken on old firefox browser in Linux OS

Hi all,
Recently few of the ADF pages in my area are reported to be broken in old firefox browser running on RHEL 5 64 bit OS.
Firefox version: 3.6.26 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.26) Gecko/20120131 Oracle/3.6-1.0.1.el5_7 Firefox/3.6.26)
Triaging the issue I found that for all broken pages the page is refreshed again after complete load and URL for second load has a malformed escaped string appended which I suspect might be causing this issue.
URL for first load:
http://adc4120388.us.oracle.com:15227/em/faces/ai/ess/listSchedules?target=%2FFarm_WLS_SOA%2FWLS_SOA%2Fess_server1%2FESSAPP&type=scheduler_service&appContext=enabledApp&Adf-Rich-Message=true&unique=1362573084657&oracle.adf.view.rich.STREAM=emT:searchResults:schedulesTable&Adf-Page-Id=6&javax.faces.ViewState=!8wifg1j3&Adf-Window-Id=w1
URL for second load:
http://adc4120388.us.oracle.com:15227/em/faces/ai/ess/listSchedules?target=%2FFarm_WLS_SOA%2FWLS_SOA%2Fess_server1%2FESSAPP&type=scheduler_service&appContext=enabledApp&Adf-Rich-Message=true&unique=1362573084657&oracle.adf.view.rich.STREAM=emT:searchResults:schedulesTable&Adf-Page-Id=6&javax.faces.ViewState=!8wifg1j3&Adf-Window-Id=w1#!6%40%2Fai%2Fess%2FlistSchedules%40%3Ftarget%3D%252FFarm_WLS_SOA%252FWLS_SOA%252Fess_server1%252FESSAPP%26type%3Dscheduler_service%26appContext%3DenabledApp
Additional malformed string in second reload URL:
#!6%40%2Fai%2Fess%2FlistSchedules%40%3Ftarget%3D%252FFarm_WLS_SOA%252FWLS_SOA%252Fess_server1%252FESSAPP%26type%3Dscheduler_service%26appContext%3DenabledApp
Note that this happens only in the above mentioned firefox browser in Linux OS, this second reload was not happening in my windows latest firefox browser (v 15.0.1), and hence these pages were coming up fine.
Is this kind of behavior a known issue? Or any hints on what could be causing this second reload?
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi,
you would need to file a service request with support and provide a test case for this problem to be analyzed by development. For this you need a support contract. Depending on the JDeveloper version you use, it may be that this old browser hasn't been tested. Also note that with 12c we probably start de-supporting old browsers like this.

How to stop the "minority report" type of personalized ads triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser?

Please advise how to stop the "minority report" type of personalized advertising apparently triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few months ago

If another uses the computer with their own user account, everything
is kept separate in each users folder. Only if someone used your account
would that be an issue.

Firefox browser wont open the message I get is "unable to establish connection to server" even though I am online

I was in the middle of a firfox browser sessions, but had to close it down as computer was playing up with other pograms I had open. When rebooted the system, I could not use the firefox browser and had the following message:
'''Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at search.findeer.com.
'' The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web''.'''
i then uninstalled it restarted my computer reinstalled it restarted my computer and had the same message come up when trying to open it.

How to dial automatically internet connection in firefox browser at browser startup as in internet explorer

i have ADSL modem broadband connection in which i have to connect to internet by establishing a connection by using following steps
control panel>network connection>create a new connection>connect to internet>set up my connection manually >connect using dial up modem OR connect using a braodband connection in which username and password required
creating this connection i have to provide username and password provided by ISP.
i have to dial internet connection manually after modem set local area connection automatically
i found a solution for internet explorer and by changing setting internet explorer start automatically dialling internet connection as i start the internet explorer.
is their in mozilla firefox an option to automatically dial internet connection as i open firefox browser?
and is their is any solution for as i start my computer internet connections established automatically without opening any browser , if such solution is available ,please tell about it.

The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or 
Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
"Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

I have problems with gameplay(zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz)in the firefox browser window. the game is latent and play is very jerky..can u please help. i played them in the IE8 browser with no problem

i've tried playing zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz in the firefox browser window and the play is very jerky and slow.

Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
So:
a) Move iPlayer to trash.
b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
c) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
d) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
k) Relaunch iPlayer
It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

I have my FireFox browser set to delete the history when I close the window. It was working for a while and has recently just stopped with no changes to the settings.

I have my FireFox browser set to delete all the history when I close the window. It was working for a very long time and has recently stopped with no changes to the settings. This has happened once before and I deleted FireFox and re-downloaded it, that solved the problem for a short period of time but the issue has come up again. How can I fix this?

Can you check your configuration again? Maybe something went pear-shaped somewhere. It's located in Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the Settings button (see screenshot).
