How do I configure so that I am anonymous on the internet. This may or may not be an issue with Firefox.

Was looking around for internet radio sites and came across a site that was flashing a message that indicated it knew the city I was living in. I use Telus internet service which serves a broad range of areas and cities in Canada. I want to be anonymous on the Internet, and concerned that a site was able to determine the city I was in, and who knows what else. Private browsing is not the answser to the problem. Any ideas? Can something be done through Firefox, or is it a Windows issue (use Windows 7 Ultimate).

You can also look at Tor.

    Diana,
    This could be a delay while internal service records were updated. Check it out again - is it okay for now?

    IE is way too vulnerable, so how can I get it to work w. FF?

    I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
    Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
    Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
    I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
    If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
    #Restart the computer and try the installation again.

  • I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

    My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

    Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
    When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
    Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
    Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
    If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
    I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
    No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

  • After I updated to Firefox 5.0, I am unable to access my TalkTalk Webmail Inbox. Talktalk say that there are 'issues' with Firefox 5. Any suggestions???

    I can login to the Talktalk Tiscali webmail site. However I cannot access the mail folders such as Inbox etc. My contact with Talktalk is not very satisfactory and they state that there is an issue with Firefox 5 and that I should use another Browser. When I try with Google Chrome, I can indeed access the mail folders as before so there is an ISSUE with Firefox 5.

    Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
    You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
    Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
    Does it work?

  • How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

    How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
    If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
    Thanks,

    If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
    If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
    Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
    The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
    StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

  • I forgot the answers to my security questions, and the reset e-mail was never sent.  How do I notify apple that they never sent me the reset e-mail?  Thank you.

    I'm trying to download apps on my new iphone 5s, and I forgot the answers to my security questions.  The reset e-mail was never sent.  How do I notify apple that they never sent me the reset e-mail?  Thank you.

    Hello there, movies989.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for issues with Apple ID security questions and contacting Apple Support:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    Of particular use in your case:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
    Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

  • I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one

    I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.
    Regards,
    Barry
