Persistent cookies not staying persistent!

I'm a web developer and I use cookies on some of my sites to add to the functionality, for example: In an e-commerce site remembering to display only [User selected amount] of products instead of [All the products ] at once, depending on what the user has chosen. However I've been noticing that cookies set to be persistent are being deleted or removed like if they were temporary cookies, even when Firefox’s settings are not set to do that. This is a troubling issue and I'm starting to feel it may be a bug? IE, Safari, and Opera work completely fine with the given example and to the best of my ability Firefox (3.6) is set up to be saving these type of cookies. I've only noticed this issue after updating to the newest version of Firefox so is this a known bug?

It probably takes less than a second to restore them because those cookies are opt-out cookies that are created by the TACO extension. Such cookies can only be removed if you uninstall that extension.
Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/11073
<blockquote>TACO with Abine prevents over 100 different online advertising networks (including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo) from displaying highly targeted advertisements using the detailed information on your web surfing habits. TACO disables most behavioral advertising by setting 100+ permanent, generic, non personally identifiable "opt-out" cookies directly into the browser.<br>

Unlike other opt-out solutions, this tool will make the opt out cookies completely persistent. That is, clearing the browser's cookies will delete all other installed cookies, except these.

Safari 4.1.3 cookies not staying set when safari is quit

Hi,
This post is a solution I couldn't find out there.
Problem: out of the blue, when i opened Safari 4.1.3 on Mac OS Tiger, I get the login EVERY time for email, forums, etc. even though I used to be able to check the "remember my account" button and not have log in every-time I started Safari. I have cookies set to "always accept" and "private browsing" turned off. But its like the cookies aren't being saved anymore for my safari session, and upon restarting Safari the next day, i was having to login to the websites every session.
Solution:
Look for your cookies.plist file. Mine lost the ability for my account to read/write to it. So I had to delete /Users/<myaccount>/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist (when Safari was not running). Restart Safari, it will recreate this file as a blank file. Permissions should now allow you to read/write the file.
This fixed my issue of having to login EVERY time I started Safari.
Hope this is helpful to someone our there!

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure: *User names and passwords* is selected.
Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). If you have problems logging in to a site, quit Safari. Launch Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left. Delete the keychain for that site.
Relaunch Safari. Login to a site with your login data. When you see the dialog asking if you want to save that info to a keychain, click Yes.
If you still have problems, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if that helps..

Since I installed the new version 17.0.1, third party cookies will not stay selected after I close the browser...

Simply -- third party cookies will not stay selected after closing the browser and I have to select it for each time to use certain cookies from websites...

You may need to create an allow exception to keep specific cookies.

Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

F2105 HP Monitor Will NOT Stay Awake

Failed to awaken when W8 computer did.
Have tried the monitor on W7, XP, another W8 computer and a Mac OsX - on all of which the monitor had previously worked.
When the monitor is first hooked up (VGA, DVI) or turned on the monitor shows the expected display for about 3 seconds and then announces that it is going to sleep due to no input.
The menu button does nada. Nor does holding down either the power button or the menu button for 2 minutes.
I see reports of this on the forum going back to 2010, but no one seems to have solved the issue that I can see.
To me it seems that it might well be a firmware issue on the monitor's board. Does anyone know how the firmware can be rebooted or replaced?

Hello @PanzerFaust,
I understand that your HP f2105 21 inch LCD Monitor will not stay awake and you are looking for a resolution to this issue. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. If it does I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Why are cookies not deleted when I close Firefox?

Hey,
My problem is that I set Tools / Options / Privacy / History to "Use custom settings for history", and then under cookies I set Keep until: to "I close Firefox".
Yet, when I close my browser and restart none of the cookies are deleted. If I save my tabs, I stay logged in on the websites that are open on the saved tabs. But even if I close the website, and then quit. And then reopen the website after launching Firefox again, I am still logged in. Whereas Firefox is set not to remember any of my usernames or passwords, so the only way this can happen is via cookies. Therefore, the cookies are not deleted. But I can also see it in the list of cookies: it's full of old stuff.
So why are cookies not deleted despite this setting?
Firefox has beeen pretty soft on privacy lately, and frankly I don't understand why. The possibility to have history older than X days automatically deleted has also been gone for a long time, and now this cookie setting doesn't work, either.

Hi madperson,
I turned this setting on a long time ago. Basically, it's one of the first things I do after installing my OS and Firefox. So there shouldn't be so many old cookies there.
But anyways, just now I deleted all the cookies manually via Tools / Options / Privacy / Show Cookies / Remove All Cookies to be sure that all the old stuff is wiped out. And yet it still doesn't work.
I logged in to my Gmail account (the Remember Me box ain't checked), closed the tab containing my Gmail account and then closed Firefox. After that I verified in the Task Manager that firefox.exe is indeed not running anymore. So Firefox definitely shut down properly. Then, I restarted Firefox and opened a tab, entered gmail.com, and I was still logged in, therefore the cookies were not deleted.
I have the 10.1.101.000 version of ZoneAlarm, which as it turns out after googling it is indeed not the latest version (it was released in March 2012). The ZoneAlarm Firefox add-on that automatically comes with the firewall is disabled in Firefox.

Why is my ipad3 not staying connected to and remembering my password to router

After upgrading to ios 6.0.1 my ipad3 has a few problems.
1. The internet is slow slow slow...to connect to even common websites, like Apple, Google etc.
2. It is not staying connected to my router for wireless and is forgetting the password for
   connection to the router.
Other computers(ipad1 and pc's) in the house do stay connected and do not have the slowness to
connect to sites.
I have done resets, cleared history and cookies and so on but nothing seems to make any
difference.
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Gary in Oregon

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Iphone voice memos does not stay open

iphone voice memos does not stay open

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

IPhone 4 does not stay connected to internet over 3G+

I have an iPhone 4 on the telus network running the latest version of the os 4.3.3. My phone will not stay connected to the Internet most of the time. It looses connection and won't reconnect until I turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. It also looses connection if I have wifi on and it detects a network but choose not to connect to it. I have restored my phone and it fixed the problem for half a day before it started again. I only have a couple months warranty left, is this covered do you think?

I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network. I have to input my password each time I leave my house. My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade. Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network? Thanks.

Yassen

For URGENT questions go right to https://support.oracle.com and file a Prio 1 SR with Oracle Support. For everything else I don't see why your question is more urgent then others.
Did you check if maybe the port OC4J runs on (8889) is already used by another program (netstat)? Did you check the logfiles?
