In Firefox 23, with private browsing enabled, why are the addresses of websites visited being added to the file places.sqlite?
In Firefox documentation it is claimed that while a user is in private browsing Cached Web Content, Offline Web Content or User Data will be saved. I am using Firefox beta 23. With 'do not track' and 'private browsing' enabled.
An examination of the file places.sqlite stored in my profile shows it is adding to the file the addresses of every website I visit. This information is not cleared when I close Firefox. When I have closed Firefox I have deleted the file but it reappears unchanged at each fresh machine start.
As I regularly update my versions of Firefox and the file is one carried over with each update the entries in places.sqlite also record my browsing history over a long period - all of it is there whether I had private browsing enabled or not.
How is this true private browsing when this file keeps a complete record of browsing history?
Further to: In order to delete the now very large ''places.sqlite'' I exported my Bookmarks to a html file. Then from my profile I deleted the 9 ''bookmark.json'' files in the folder''' bookmarkbackups'''.
With Firefox shutdown I then deleted ''places.sqlite''. Then with Firefox open I imported the html bookmark file.
The new ''places.sqlite'' generated now only contains the links kept in Bookmarks. I do not yet know if this has solved the problem. I will use the Firefox browser for a couple of days without adding any bookmarks and then check the ''places.sqlite'' file again.

Why are my email attachments showing as being attached but the recipient does not get an attachment?
I currently use the Mail program on my MacBook Pro and am having issues with email attachments. I have read through a few forums and I seem to be doing everything correctly but I am still having problems. I have 3 different email accounts that I have set up through Mail and all 3 are having problems. The steps I take when attaching any document is to compose to a new email, click the paperclip icon or go through the File drop down menu and select Attach Files. With either option, I can see my document inside of my message but when I send the email the recipient only receives the text portion of th email, not any attachment. When I go to my Sent mailbox and find the email I sent, I can see the document within the message but there is not a paperclip icon next to the recipients name indicating that there was an attachment sent.
I have made sure that 'Always send windows-friendly attachments' is selected, and I have tried sending them with 'Always attach at end of message' selected and with it unselected but there has been no difference. I have only noticed this within the last 2 months. Anyone have any advice?The issue with not seeing the paper clip in your Sent mailbox seems to be totally removed from anything related to recipients, and is something to perhaps yet be addresses in a future update.
To the issue with recipients, I would guess the recipient is using Outlook or Outlook Express, and the message is being sent in Rich Text (a form of HTML) and the recipient either cannot open the attachment, or they have an over zealous anti-virus filter that is removing the attachment out of fear caused by the presence of HTML.
More info about the recipient's platform, please.

Hello! I have upgraded to Firefox 20. When I have private browsing enabled, I cannot search. Please advise. Thank you!
In what way and where can't you search?
*searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
*search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
*search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
*other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?
What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?
Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported?How are you attempting to connect them?
Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
1 From the Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
security type.
5 If required, enter a password.
6 Tap Save.
7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
8 computers or other devices.
8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
your data connection via Wi-Fi®
When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

When I open Muse it comes up with a 'new version is available' and when I click on 'install now' it takes me to the adobe muse website where I click on the 'Download' button. It will then come up with 'Muse is downloading now'. It will then take me back to the Muse app again with the same 'install now' message. The new version has not installed, could some one please let me know the reason why it isn't installing.
Hi Jeff I have uninstalled Muse from my applications and have tried to download the new version but it displays a message 'file not found'. I have included a screenshot.

HT201068 why all videos from Chinese websites cannot be opened after the update??
why all videos from Chinese websites cannot be opened after the Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1??
That's not a thing that can happen. Your problem with videos is unrelated to the Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1.
There were several OS updates recently as well, which could have affected video playback though.
What application do you use to play the videos?
Are the videos streaming from the internet or are they downloaded first and then played?
what format are the videos? what file extension? -
HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?
Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?
There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between) -

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

What has happened? Where is my iPhoto and why are my photos now in Photos? This *****. The whole reason I bought a Mac was the ease of iPhotos. Horrible. Bad move.
iPhotos is still in your Applications folder. The iPhoto Library is still in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

When you go to www.gmail.com and I rightclick on the gray coloured "google.com" showed left next to the address bar then it shows you the certification details. Whe you click on "more info" and then go to the security section it show you how many times you visted the site before. In my case it say`s none, but thats not the case with my friend, his nuber of earlier visits says 13.400 even after deleting cookies/history.
Can someone tell me what this means, and if maybe someone other than himself is watching his email because he`s a bit worried now.A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
I link to a mac computer.
I have IOS version 6.1.3
I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
Please help!!Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

Why are my addresses disappearing on my events after making changes?
I have addresses disappearing on my calendar after I make a change to an event. For instance: I make an error with a house number so I make the change. After I click DONE, the whole address vanishes. Or, if I insert a phone number in notes, the address disappears. The only fix is to add the address last so that no entry causes the problem.

I want my bookmarks file (places.sqlite) to reside on a network drive. How do I configure Firefox to do this?
You can use the profile manager to create a new profile and choose the location of that new profile to point to the profile folder on that network drive.<br />
Firefox will recognize that profile and use it.<br />
If you do need to create a new profile then make sure to point to a new empty folder and NOT a folder that already has other files in it.
