How to know if firefox is using a master password from a some programming language?

I am working in a security check project and I need know from an programming language or open some file if firefox is using a master password.

Generally speaking, there is nothing in the HTTP request to indicate to a server the type of window the request originates from. So you will have to manage it at the application level.

How can I make Firefox ask for the master password if the PC has been idle?

If I leave the browser open it retains all the passwords even if the pc goes into sleep mode.

If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

How can I tweak firefox to use less of RAM?100MB+ is too much for my system.thanks

Ok,
I have latest updated version of firefox.
I have hp510 laptop with 1 GB of RAM.
My problem is that firefox is really good but uses too much of RAM(100 MB or more) while in usage.
How can I tweak firefox to use less RAM, as my system gets hammered.
Thank you.
Danny

thanks.
I opened my extensions, and all are disabled, except ADBLOCK.
I usually clean my history on weekly basis, sometimes even on daily basis.
When I use firefox, most of the time ther is no other application in use by me (I don't encounter all those back apps for the system).
Most of the time, I have only 2 windows open , very rare there more.
The issue is that even at starting of firefox session I can see in task manager there is minimum 95 MB or charge, without any work done by me.
I usually have charge about 370-390 MB of RAM, but when I open Firefox it gets me up to 500 or more.

Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?

While using firefox I am using, private browsing and not remembering any passwords.
When I login to Gmail, the login page shows option to type in my gmail id and then password, and at the bottom, it gives the option of checkbox to remember the password next time. NOW, the problem is that, THIS CHECK box is always TICKED (Checked). I don't want it to be checked at all.
So How can I prevent firefox to Offer to save passwords and how to remove the tick checked when I log in to gmail?
Thank you so much.

Hi Imran_Afzal, if you know that setting the cookie has no effect after you close your private browsing session, is it really worth finding a hack to clear the checkbox?
I believe in order to do that you would need to use an extension or userscript. However, I haven't searched for one.
''Note: When searching for a userscript on userscripts.org, be very cautious as many hacked scripts have been posted lately. Check reviews and check the code to make sure it only runs on your Google site before installing.''

How do I actually use a master password?

My home folder is protected with file vault and so I have a master password set. If ever I should forget my user password how would I use the master password to get in to my Mac?
thx

If you would ever forget your password, then you
would need to use the Mac OS X Install Discs to reset your password.
The above suggestion is not correct for an account that's protected with FileVault. Even if it does allow you to reset the password on the account it does not reset the password on the encrypted home folder.
Instead read this Apple Support article.
Basically you "attempt" to logon to the account using incorrect passwords. After three incorrect attempts you'll be prompted for the Master Password (or if the account has a password hint set you'll see the password hint - enter another incorrect password to get the Master Password prompt).
At this point you can enter the Master Password and you'll be allowed to set a new password for the account. This will also set the new password on the encrypted home folder, mount it and log you in to the account.
You can also mount a FileVault encrypted home folder from the command line with the Master Password using hdiutil. One reason you might want to do this is if you had multiple accounts on a machine and you were logged in to one account but needed to recover or access files in an encrypted home folder of another account.

Does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch, does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch

Plan on buying my first ipod touch whe its finally available. Does anyone know if you can use the wall ccharger from an iPad 3 for it. Thanks

Well all I can say it would have been nice if apple included the charger for the price these things cost. Sometimes you just don't have access to a computer to charge it. I'm OK because I have the iPad charger but I still think its a cheap move on their behalf not including one.

hello sabhajeet, in this case you'd have to reset your master password - please refer to the following article:
[[Reset your Master Password if you've forgotten it]]

I've been using a master password for years. Today I noticed that it had been cleared. What could cause this?

I've been using a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today I wanted to look up one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this I noticed that Firefox was no longer set to use a master password. I'm afraid that I may have been hacked, or that something else happened (recent Firefox update?) that caused the use of the master password to be disabled.
I have not yet checked my other Synced computers to see if their master passwords have also been turned off.
I have re-enabled the master password feature on this computer.
On this particular computer, I've had a long-standing issue where Firefox "Help>About Firefox" always shows that I need to "Restart to Update". This means that I cannot use "Help>About Firefox" to check for and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installer.

Hi,
You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Active Logins''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History]. Alternatively via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''Encryption''' > '''Security Devices''', select '''Software Security Device''' and choose '''Log Out'''. You can then restart Firefox and check.
If the problem persists you can reset Firefox and start afresh.
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.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, changed preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please '''Copy all to clipboard''' (on the left of the reset button), and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
For the update error, please try searching for all instances of '''updates.xml''', open the containing folder to make sure it belongs to Firefox/Mozilla (path) and delete all instances of the file along with the '''updates''' folder.
