I 60MB folder titled e3xuyg2m.default in consistently created and I cannot seem to permanenly remove it. Can you help?

Hi all: A folder titled e3xuyg2m.default is constantly created in c:\user\[my computer name]\appdata\local\mozilla\firefox\profiles\e3xuyg2m.default\cache\... I have tried to remove it using CCleaner, but it just won't go away. This only occurs on one of my laptops and desktops. Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that it is not a necessary files and I have doubts whether or not it's malicious. I don't have any plug-ins in my Firefox, other than the fundamentals. I Googled the file name and NOTHING comes up... which is stranger still.
Can anyone please shed some light on this? Aside from being utterly annoying, it's disconcerting.
Thank you in advance!

Note that Firefox uses two locations for the profile folder, one for the main profile folder in AppData\Roaming and a second location for other (larger) files in AppData\Local that are more frequently updated to avoid issues with profiles located on the network storage device.

Note that it is sufficient to set Firefox to clear the Cache when you close Firefox to disable the disk cache and leave the memory cache as you can see on the about:cache page.

  • Hi, my HDD went south, and I found the folder where the bookmarks are, I 'm trying to import it but nothing comes up, can you help?

    Yesterday I installed the new HDD on my laptop and I installed the operating system and even downloaded Firefox and installed it. Since the old HDD in part is usable, I connected it by USB and I can see almost all of the files and folders, I went to my program files and searched and for the old Firefox program and thought I could copy/paste the old bookmark folder, and I did, to my disappointment when nothing showed up on it. What can I do to save all my bookmarks?

  • Have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer.

    I have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer. But after I sync I only get 6 out of the 9 voice memos on my iPhone.
    How do I get the rest (or all) of the memos from my iPhone copied to my computer?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

    Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

    What folder structure?
    If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
    If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

  • Firefox conintually creates a folder in my cache that is 60MB. It's titled e3xuyg2m.default. How can I get rid of it permanently?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/992841 /questions/992841]''
    I've noticed a folder is created and I have no clue what it's for. All I know is that it is created in the C:\Users\[My Computer Name]\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\e3xuyg2m.default and it's bulky, 60MB! It's creating a number of files within the cache folder. I have tried to remove it using CCleaner, but no permanent solution. This does not happen on my other computers, only my laptop. Therefore I'm coming to the conclusion it's not a necessary file. Is it malicious? How can I permanently remove it? Aside from being questionable, it's weighing down my computer.
    Thanks in advance!

    hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
    in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

    Trying to scan photos from my photo album to a folder on my desktop.  Have been trying to figure out for hours.  Seems very complicated and cumbersome.  Can anyone help?  It's got to be much quicker (fewer key strokes) and simpler than what I've been able to discover.

    Open the file, parse it, populate an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection, and make the collection the DataGrid dataProvider:

  • Can't get rid of default apple I'd!  Can you help?

    Made a typo in my user id.  Edited it in account but the incorrect user name auto fills.  When I try to edit it, it shows it correctly, but it still defaults to the old info.  Can't get any new apps or tunes!  What's the secret?!!  Really frustrating!!!

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out and then sign in with the correct ID. You can do this in the App store as well at the bottom of the screen in the featured tab and you can also do it in iTunes at the bottom of the screen in the featured tab.

  • Yahoo has become my default search engine. It used to be google; I want google back as my default search engine. Can you help?

    Google used to be the default search engine in my FireFox setup. Now it's Yahoo. I would like to change it back to google. Can you tell me how to revert it back to google? If so, thanks.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Two or three days ago.

    If anyone is having this issue, I had to change more than just the keyword.url.
    Here are the steps I took:
    Open Firefox and type about:config
    Then I changed:
    browser.search.defaultenginename to google
    browser.search.defaulturl to www.google.com
    keyword.url right click {reset} or set = http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    Then I restarted Firefox.
    Consider this another complaint against Yahoo's unclear messaging. I do use Yahoo for some things and I thought perhaps they were going to improve interoperability between services, I guess Microsoft is rubbing off on them.

  • Automatic update from microsoft explorer has compromised firefox browser and stopped it from working. How do I get rid of MS update. Already restored to an earlier time, did not work. Firefox is my default browser. Can you help?

    Firefox cannot get to the web because the MS update conflicts with my default browser FF. I tried a system restore point before the explorer 9 update, but it didn't clear the MS update troubleshooter with the FF logo and I can not get to my browser directly.

    I can't help you with that software in particular but I suggest you to try Xpadder, I also have the microsoft xbox 360 gamepad and it works as far as I know
