How does firefox keep track of sites visited

When I go the page info tab while on the google home page I notice that it shows the number of times I have visited the web page even though I have cleared all cookies AND flash cookies! Where/Why is this information stored?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Always

The history, along with your bookmarks, is stored in a file called places.sqlite, which includes the date and time you last visited the site and how many times you have visited the site. The details are used by the location bar as shown in the [[location bar autocomplete]] article.
If you do not want it to remember the history details, you can change the settings in the [[Options window - Privacy panel]]

How does DIAdem keep track of which version is active when multiple versions are installed?

I need a way to find out which version of DIAdem is active, without creating an automation reference. How does DIAdem keep track of this? I don't think it's through the registry as far as I can tell. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "version of DIAdem is active". If you are trying to reference DIAdem from an external program, you will need to use an automation reference. Besides this case, I am not sure what you are referring to.
Perhaps a short description of your application or intended use will help me point you in the right direction.

How does Thunderbird keep track of where it stores your messages?

I am writing a program to isolate certain messages from a messages file. Of course I can hard code the path where the messages are kept at the moment, but when the user changes it, my program will be lost.
I have looked in the registry and profile.ini file with no luck. Anyone knows the answer? Thanks.

The path to messages in Thunderbird is random just for the reason your having trouble. To make programmatic access non trivial.
As you would have observed the profiles.ini contains a path the the root of the profile.
Within the profile mail is stores in profiles\imapmail for IMAP or profiles\mail for pop
Sub folders exist for the server the mail is for, often with a numeric suffix to separate multiple accounts on the same server, or multiple attempts to set up the same account.
These folder can again contain sub folder. depending on the internal structure of folders within Thunderbird.
If the user has specified a custom location for the folder of an account, that information is stored in the prefs.js file along with all other preferences. The account the setting is for is referenced numerically. So you need to establish from the preferences what the account number is, before reading the preference for location.

DOES FIREFOX KEEP A RUNNING HISTORY OF VISITED WEB SITES

DOES FIREFOX KEEP A RECORD OF DOWNLOADS, AND VISITED SITES FROM ITS USERS.

Firefox does not keep a history after you clear yours. I understand what you mean. Firefox does not send your browsing history to Mozilla. However Firefox has components from Google, like Anti-phishing. Due to these Google components, Google Privacy Policy must be followed.
Read Google Privacy Policy-

Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book? Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

How do I keep track of dialog boxes?

If I have a three question test, How do I keep track of the answers?

OK a bit of sanity.
you have a 3 question test.
presumably you have a 3 element array of questions (Strings?)
String[] questions = {"What is 1 + 1","What is 2 + 2","What is 3 + 3"};
in a loop you ask each question, then get the response to each.
String answer = .....readLine();
if you change this to an object
class Question
String question;
String answer;
public Question (String q){question = q;}
}then your array looks like this
Question[] questions = {new Question("What is 1 + 1"), etc
so now the display of the question changes from
System.out.print(questions[x]);
to
System.out.print(questions[x].question);
likewise for the answer
from
String answer = .....readLine();
to
questions[x].answer = .....readLine();
now, in your Question array, each 'question' stores the answer received

How do I keep track of stats and subscriptions of my podcast? Mine was just added today.

My podcast, The Big Seance Podcast, was just added to iTunes today. Other than keeping track of stats through my host (Libsyn), how can I keep track of subscriptions, ratings, and downloads through itunes? Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
You will not get any stats from Apple / iTunes. You need to get that info from your libsyn account.
If you want to see the number of people consuming via iTunes or the Podcasts App (AppleCoreMedia) - you will need to have the advanced stats - App 400 or greater level account in Libsyn.
That is the only way to get the info you are looking for.
Regards,

I live in the country and there is no High speed available, How does Firefox for desk top work with Dial up ???

I live in the country and there is no High speed available, How does Firefox for desk top work with Dial up ??? I have a great dell computer, Dimention 8400. Before I install firefox I want to know for no waste of time for either party..

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

How does one keep the photo description attached to a photo in iphoto when that photo copies to a disc or flash drive

how does one keep the photo description attached to a photo in iphoto when that photo copies to a disc or flash drive?
the metadata transfers ok, it is the description of that photo that does not transfer.

Use the File -> Export command and note the settings to write the metadata to the file on export.

Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager. Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

You need Flash Player or DivX Player. Both of these programs are used everywhere online; their size is small and will not harm your computer. You should download them from here:
