The link to deleting temporary internet files, cookies, etc. has disappeared from the Tools tab. How do I restore this link?

Also Firefox uses a Cache and not IE's temporary internet files.
edit: fixed a autocorrected word by PlayBook that I missed.

My Firefox Browser tool bar ( ... with the buttons "Bookmarks"," History", "Tools". etc, ) has disappeared -- how can i restore it ?

I access the internet through the Mozilla Firefox browser with a "toolbar"that was originally as described above. My default "home page " is the AOL web site through which I access e-mail . AOL offered a" toolbar" -- I installed it and '''several days later'''the top "bar " on my computer changed to read " Aol - Mozilla Firefox, etc., .... " but with "the buttons " ---" Bookmarks , History , Tools, ...etc. " ---gone . The " Aol Toolbar " is the next" band " down . How do I restore the original configuration ? Can I have two such " tool bars" ? I'd be happy with just the "original ". Thanks --- Hhutson 1

Delete temporary Internet files

Windows 2008 R2
Win 7
Win Xp
Under "user config\preferences\windows settings\folder" Created 2 folders to delete Temporary Internet files with with 1 targeting Windows 7 and the other targeting windows xp.
Here the the path for windows 7: C:\Users\%localappdata%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Here is the path for xp: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
However, temporary internet files not being deleted. Are my paths correct and are my enviroment variables correct. thanks

> XP:
>
> %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
> W7:
> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
>
W7: %LocalAppdata%\Microsoft\[and so on...]
Smartest solution: Use Item Level Targeting on the content of a registry
value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders:Cache
Put that content in a variable and use this variable as target path for
your folder ;-)
Works on each OS that supports GPP.
But things may get hard when deleting the "Low" folder - so why not
simply use

Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders

Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders. Message occurs that file cannot be deleted.

Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup? Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system. Here is the BEST QnA on the subject :

How do I manually delete temporary internet files, and if I delete them on IE are they also deleted onFirefox?

I know how to delete cookies on firefox but have not figured out how to delete temporary internet files. I can do it on IE, does that do the job or do I have to delete TIF's on firefox also?

The equivalent of temporary internet files on Firefox is the cache. For details of how to clear it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Clearing TIFs in IE will not clear the cache in Firefox.

Why do temporary internet files show up as a tab?

Why are temporary internet files showing up as a tab in FF ver 8? I have the private browsing option on.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Which content (URL) do you see on those tabs?
If necessary then please attach a screenshot.

Every time I try to log in to the Mac App Store, I get red words saying "An unknown error has occurred" How do I fix this?

Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

Before Firefox 4, each time I started the computer, it would load the windows I still had open when I closed down the night before. This has disappeared. Can I restore this?

Before Firefox 4, each time I started up the computer in the morning and clicked on Mozilla Firefox, it would load up the windows I still had open when I closed down the night before. Very handy! How do I restore it this terrific time-saving feature?

Deleting Temporary Internet Files and Cookies

Hello
I'm new to the world of Macs and am puzzled by this issue. On WinXP there is a way to delete the masses of temporary files that accumulate when browsing on-line. Is there a way to do this on a Mac? I cannot find anything about this in any of the books on Tiger I possess and my pal who encouraged me to get the G5 hasn't "even thought about it!" Does it happen automatically (as does Defragging, so I read) or isn't it an issue with MacOS's?

PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Graphics and Internet only

Thank you so much, maclover. I'm extremely impressed by how quickly my query has been answered. And your warm words of welcome are appreciated.
I have to say that my introduction to Macs was rather fraught. My Powermac behaved most oddly when I set it up. I assumed it was my inexperience that caused it to respond to opening Photoshop by telling me "This server is not available or doesn't exist"! or show its infuriating rainbow wheel in permanent motion when I clicked on iPhoto, and many other quirks. My mac-using friend was aghast at what mine got up to and I went back to my (fairly) reliable pc. But a re-install of the system discs effected a miracle cure and I'm completely at home with the gear now. When I read the very partisan "Macs are wonderful, Windows pcs are rubbish" in certain magazines I do think back to how close my Powermac came to being kicked across the room. A brand new machine from the Apple Store shouldn't have been like that.
Now I've got that off my chest I can only thank you again
Regards

On some sites when I click a link to upen a pdf file Mozilla opens a new tab and nothing happens. Why is this happening?

When the new tab opens in the address bar it shows About:Blank. If I switch to the IE engine it will download the PDF file without any problems so I'm wondering why Native Mozilla is having this problem opening the PDF file. It's a real hastle switching engines, especially when I'm logged into something like a bank web page because I have to re-log in to the site a second time as switching engines cancels my original log-in.

Couldn't it also be the way Mozilla processes things which differ from IE? It works every time I use the IE engine add on which tells me that either Mozilla is processing things differently or that IE is doing something different. I've heard that IE doesn't always follow the same HTML standards that Mozilla does. Could this be the difference and would it be something that Mozilla could change to process the same as IE?

I have the latest plugins and firefox but it still says 'adobe flash plugin has crashed' How do i fix this?

Every time I go on YouTube, it comes up with: 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I have tried refreshing and restarting my laptop, I have also got all the latest flash and Firefox, but it still won't work.

I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
Video playback issues
If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current.
If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
Open a command prompt
Type: dxdiag
Hit Enter
This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window.

I have the lastest version of fire fox , ocasionally it starts opening up tabs non stop. how can i fix this ?

the tabs open one right after another , a run away . they stop when i click stop loading the page

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an Open with download window. 
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ("File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2" and "Reset Download Actions")
Delete the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

My "new tabs" and home pages have been hijacked by MSNGames, with the search window opening in Bing. Previously, my home page was Google, and the new tab blank. How do I restore this?

This started after I downloaded the latest version of Explorer. It not only affects Explorer (which I never use), but Firefox as well.

I saw that article before I posted my question. At your suggestion, I reread it and then downloaded, and ran, the 'Malwarebytes' free program listed in the article. This 'free anti-malware' program does NOT actually do any system scanning. The closest it comes to actually 'scanning' for malware is, it checks your system to see if you have a good anti-malware system running. Period. So, it told me that I have McAfee and that it is up and running, all secure (which I already knew). The only real system scanning it does is to check for registry errors, junk files, etc. Then if you click 'repair' it repairs a small percentage of them and asks you for money, if you want to repair all of them. No thanks.
I suppose I could go out there into the big wide web and start looking for other free anti-malware programs, and start running one after another. But let me ask a follow-up question: If I UNINSTALL and then REINSTALL Firefox would that solve the problem? Or is it likely that the malware will still be lurking on my system?
Has anyone out there actually been hijacked by GOODTASKSEARCH? They are apparently one of many pseudonyms of something called LIGHTSSEARCH.
Thank you very much for your time.
