Pretty much this: I have firefox set to delete personal information (log in to websites) when I close it ... However firefox instead doesn't delete anything, keeps the cookies, and when I reopen firefox I'm still logged in (to websites like facebook). What do?
Privacy settings aren't working even though they're all appropriately checked off.
I think Firefox is saving cookies??

Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
You can inspect and modify the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" (Site Preferences includes the cookie exceptions)

Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies that have an allow exception.

Making negative space in a vector design that should be one color. When I try to make a black image there is white in the spaces and when I delete them they are black not clear.

Can someone help? I tried fill and choosing the red line but it turns the white space to black not negative space.

Cynthia,
As I (mis)understand it, you are needlessly worrying about the non background which appears white.
If so, View>Show Grid or View>Show Transparency Grid should set your mind at rest because either will show through.

How to delete personal information in my profile?

In frequently asked questions, it says I can delete personal information in my profile. But it's not doing it. I.e., I edit/delete the information, and hit save, but the information is not deleted. Please help me with this, thanks!

Hi, Matt_Army45,
If you had said so in the first place, I would have replied with a very different response!

Deleting personal information

I am giving my old imac away and wish to delete personal information. I have deleted keychain. Still information comes up. For example when I fill in an on line form the information is automatically entered. My bank card number comes in the bank sign on window. How do I delete this information?

The best way to ensure all personal information and data is removed is by using the original install package that shipped this iMac and reformat the hard drive HFS+ or extended with Journaling enabled (which erases the hard drive) and then re-install the OS and included software.
When finished, do not create a user login account and shut down the computer.
When the person who receives this Mac turns it on for the first time, he/she will be greeted with the computer setup assistant which will make the iMac truly theirs and this also ensures none of your existing data is available.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I use Firefox 6.0.2. When I shut the browser and try to reopen it I get a message saying that Firefox is still running and that I should reboot. This happens constantly. Why does this happen and is there a way around it?

I have just set up Itunes match on my new iMac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live. Am I missing something?

Hi
I have just set up itunes match on my new imac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live - I can't access albums or songs. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi,
I do not understand your problem. iTunes Match does not change the way iTunes looks. When match process is complete, the match screen tells you how much music you have in the cloud.
Across the top of screen you have options to select songs, albums, artist, composers etc.
Suggest that from main menu, select view>show sidebar.

- Sure sounds like the headphone jack is defective and requires replacement. Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack first.
- Apple will only replace your iPod for a refurbished one for this price

Can someone help me when Firefox closes randomly it removes all the cookies and cache, and I am not able to restore lost tabs...?

For a while now Firefox has randomly shut down for reasons unknown. Sometimes windows reports the error but not always. When I start Firefox back up again, it does not restore my tabs. Also as an added bonus it deletes the cookies and cache, and I don't know why. Furthermore this occurrence has become more and more frequent. Just in the last hour along before writing this complaint, Firefox crashed three times right as I switch users, but not every time I switched. I am a taboholic, addicted to tabs, sometimes 70+, and this is the final straw. This frequency became more and more prominent a few days ago. When it first crashed, Windows was kind enough to let me know of the error which first occurred one to two weeks ago. It has become the very bane of my internet surfing. Someone please help, or I will have to renounce my allegiance to Firefox and switch to the dark side that is Crome.

<blockquote>... or I will have to renounce my allegiance to Firefox ...</blockquote>
There is no citizenship oath involved in using Firefox, it's a piece of software.
Look, if Firefox isn't generating any crash reports, you more than likely have an operating system or hardware issue. If Firefox is generating crash reports you can retrieve that information and post the report numbers here.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_the_most_accurate_help_with_your_Firefox_crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Click the hyperlinks to bring up the Crash Report pages and copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here. We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website.

Make cookies visible again, so that I can delete the cookies immediately when I am no longer using a website. I recently updated firefox, and I was very disappointed to find that the cookies from sites I visit were no longer showing to me. I am still able to use the sites, but I cannot see their cookies to delete them. I like to delete the cookies immediately once I am done with their site.
Help me to see the cookies again. Thank you

I also wanted to let you know, that I find it incredibly stupid, that cookies are hidden away in a tools menu; when most internet users would obviously prefer to be able to immediately see what cookies are being used, and could then just click and delete them immediately, without having to click 4 different buttons and then delete them. PLEASE MAKE THE COOKIES EASIER TO GET RID OF, BY SHOWING THEM IN THE BROWSER ALL THE TIME. thank you

Firefox doesn't recognize my cookies anymore. I see the cookies in Preferences/Privacy, but Firefox isn't using them.

I have to log into all my sites all over again. My cookies aren't recognized. I see the cookies when I go to FF Preferences Privacy tab. But Firefox isn't using them: I have to log in to sites I've previously visited. Firefox just started doing this suddenly: no crash preceded it. What to do?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

I have a really old Itunes account. I no longer have the email and when I go to put in my birthday it is coming up wrong because the birthday on the account does not have a year. How can I fix this? I have about 70 downloaded songs on this log in that I would like to get back.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Firefox will not respond after restarting my computer after making changes in the cookies and history settings

I make some changes with cookies and cleared my history for today...and then restarted my computer...now firefox will not open...will not respond...should I uninstall firefox and then reinstall it?
If I uninstall firefox will the changes I made with the cookies and my history be reversed?
If I were to uninstall and then reinstall firefox will I loose my bookmarks if I do this? or does firefox remember them...so when I reinstall the previous bookmarks are reinstalled too?

Does Firefox starts up when you first open it after rebooting the computer but hangs the next time you try to start it? If so, then there's a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005487 bug] in Firefox 29 where Firefox hangs on exit when the setting "Clear history when Firefox closes" is selected, so that you get an "already running but not responding" error the next time you ttry to start it. In that case, end the firefox.exe process in the Windows Task Manager (or reboot the computer) then reset your Firefox Privacy options and UNCHECK the option "Clear history when Firefox closes". See this article for details:
[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the problem and Firefox still not open even after rebooting the computer then try starting in Firefox Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. If Firefox starts then see the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to narrow down the cause.
