Homepage, Toolbar, and Default browser settings won't stay after logging out and then back in.
We have Firefox ESR 17.0.7. Our Enterprise uses Firefox as our default. We are trying to figure out why we keep some settings and lose other settings. Upon logging out we lose settings like Home Page, Toolbar changes and making Firefox the default browser. We can set them but overnight the setting will not exist anymore. We have tried creating a new profile using the profile manager and even pointing the profile folder to a different location to see if that helps. But to no avail.
You probably do not use CCleaner, but if you do, or if you use another "clean up" tool that runs at Windows launch or shutdown, make sure to create an exception for the Firefox Profiles folder.

My Imac says "you need to restart your computer" after logging out and click on sleep. 10.6.8?
My Imac recently gives a message "you need to restart your computer" after logging out and clicking "sleep". After a few seconds, gray screeen will roll down and give that messasge. I disconnected USB cable from my printer. Today, after turning it on, the log in screen showed then after 2 seconds the gray screen rolled down again and prompted "you need to restart the computer". I've read the apple communities about kernel panics but to no success. I have a 10.6.8, 2.7 ghz, 4GB. This is the error that showed which I reported to apple mutiple times already.

What is going on with this error?It hasn't been acting up since I:
1) Since I unplug my all in one printer with wifi (Hewlett Packard). I barely use the printer and it keeps cleaning out the jets and wasting my **** ink. Plus it'll do a loud self test @ 3:00 in the morning & by this time, I pulled my baseball bat from under the bed and ready to smash some skulls in the office room thinking its a burglar.
But seriously it stop doing it.
This is a late reply but confirmed after 7 months.
Note: I shut down instead of sleep my Imac now because I hardly use it. -
I recently changed my apple ID, both email and password. For some reason icloud is on the old email account and i do not remember that password to log out and login with new credentials.
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and have been researching the past 2 hours!!!! Aaargh!

Default app settings won't stay.
So none of my default app settings in Lion ever stick! They always reset back to the Apple defaults. And yes, I do the whole 'Get Info' thing, and tell it to apply the desired app to all files like that one. But once I restart, the settings revert. Is this a bug? Some weird permissions issue I need to fix? Yes, I repaired them. Still happens. Anyone? Oh, and I don't upgrade becuase my MacPro is too old. It can't!
Ah, just seeing THIS http://ansonalex.com/troubleshooting/default-applications-reset-upon-mac-os-x-li on-10-7-restart/

IMac much faster after logging out and back in.
Last week I installed a piece of software that required me to log out then log back in for it to take effect. After logging back in I noticed that my iMac was running substantially faster than before. When I went to reopen Safari and Mail the applications just appeared with barely a bounce in the dock. Normally my iMac runs OK, but this is noticeably faster.
When I reboot an am automatically logged in I get the same OK performance, but if I log out then log back in I'm right back to running very fast.
Does anyone know why exactly this happens? Or if there is a way to keep from having to log out then back in again to reap this benificial performance?Yes, it does release memory, Diane, but what is puzzling is that there is absolutely nothing that logging in and out accomplishes that a restart wouldn't also do. I don't doubt that his system is faster, but I don't know why that would do more than just shutting it off and turning it back on again, which is where the mystery lies.

After I highlight, copy and paste info into search box look at what I want, after leaving firefox and after manually deleting history and leaving firefox with setting to delete history upon leaving, when I re-enter firefox with cursor in search box right click and old info is still there. I also made sure to clear search history.Doesn't matter what website yahoo google, google maps, put cursor in search box right click and it's still there.
Thanks.It is possible that there is a problem with the formhistory.sqlite file that stores the "Saved Form" data.
Try to rename or delete formhistory.sqlite and other possible formhistory.* files like formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite-corrupt in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Netflix error despite Silverlight update and correct browser settings?
I've got an older MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8), and just tried to join Netflix but can't get Silverlight to work (I keep getting error N8010). I've reinstalled the most recent iteration of Silverlight (Netflix also won't let me run on the old Silverlight) and checked browser settings on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Are there some other settings I should be checking? Thanks!
Thanks for info, ds store. Wish I'd known about Chrome, however. I should have, knowing already how intrusive they are (just check gmail on that count. They want to know everything!).
I have to say also that I don't understand why Apple can't update Safari for all it's recent platforms instead of just for one, whichever is latest. Doing that leaves customers who don't want or need to update platforms high and dry with respect to Apple's own browser. I could run IE8 with Windows 98 if I had to. As it is, I run it with XP, by now several generations old. So one for Microsoft and zip for Apple on that count.
ds store wrote:
I don't recommend Chrome as they install a root level updater that requires removing all their software and the updater to get rid of it, Firefox would be the better choice.
Having installed Chrome, as you know, can you tell me whether or not Mac Keeper would do the job of removal? I have that too, and they sort of lay claim to being able to remove all pieces of programs/apps in one easy move. Course I'm skeptical. Assuming "no" for an answer, is there someplace I can look at that gives step-by-step instructions on how thoroughly to be rid of Chrome? I also gather that simply dropping the App in the Trash won't work either, at least not to be thoroughly rid of any app really? -
I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file. An error appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Why wouldn't it just open on my default browser? Thanks for the help!
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.
Regards,
Art

When I try to buy an app it won't let me log in and says that I need to use another Apple ID on my iPad 2
Is your Apple ID set properly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores?
If so, log out from there and log back in.
If that doesn't solve it (it should), check Settings > General > Restrictions -
Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.
I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in" -
firefox keeps remembering a website and won't allow me to log out and will not return to login page. been to cookies, saved password options, says no password is saved but it is. nothing helps
It might be that you are logged in with HTTP authentication (either basic or digest). This authentication is arranged by the browser, so you would have seen a pop-up dialog asking for a user name and password while logging in. It seems that these are cached by the browser and it requires you to restart the browser to log out...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
http://www.tolaris.com/2009/09/08/logging-out-of-http-auth-with-firefox/
Because I found that having to restart the browser quite annoying I stumbled on this question and also on the HTTP Logout add-on that allows you to log out without restarting your browser. Not many sites use HTTP Authentication, but you might give it a try.
