Unable to disable cookies in FF 3.6.10 in some web sites

Both cookies boxes are unchecked in FF 3.6.8.
Enter some web sites which over-ride my [no cookies allowed] settings and write unlimited cookies to my hard disk.
What is procedure to block and avoid these unwanted cookies ?
In the past my system has received viruses, worms, trojan horses through spam EMail cookies.
As a result, it is necessary for me to avoid un-necessary cookies, and select only those limited cookies that have come from safe sources.
Do not have this security difficulty with FF 3.0.10.
System is using WIN XP, Trend AntiVirus, ZoneAlarm firewall.
Thank you for your help.

How do I disable "this connection is untrusted" I visit the same web site mutiple times in a day visit I get this same error, these are trusted sites within my work

How do I disable "this connection is untrusted" I visit the same web site mutiple times in a day and every visit I get this same dam error, these are trusted sites within my work environment. This is getting really old, and I am thinking that I should just uninstall, which is a pity becuase I do like firefox

Okay, before you copy 'n paste canned responses, you should read the post first.
'''The date & time on my computer is correct''' I've already checked this.
'''I don't give a damn why the site is untrusted''', I probably know why in fact (behind corporate proxy server).
As for exporting a known good certificate from another browser, sure good idea, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried exporting from IE, Firefox did the import without complaint, but it still complains. At any rate, I don't care about that. '''I just want to permanent disable it for ALL SITES for ALL TIME'''. Is that too much to ask for?
Judging by the number of posts on this topic, apparently I am not the only one complaining about this.

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you around in circles, never getting to the answer of how to print out contacts. I'm sure the marketing people and web creators just love this Frankenstein monster they have built, but for me and my phone, it's just a huge pain in the ***! Do they plan to fix this, or just let us dinosaurs go away and die?

there is a point : no workie
how hard would it be to place my (or yours I am told) iPhone4S on a city block curb………..
and just walk away.. .. ..

Using Mac OSX 10.7.1: recently replaced our DSL modum & wireless router and suddently I can't get some web sites to load. Many do, but Twitter and others often do not. I've reset the browsing historty, forms, cookies and cache but it continues to happen.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

How can I copy cookies about some web site and paste them into a program's header?

You may know the programme called Teleport Ultra which allows us to download an entire web site and browse offline. There is a forum I want to download but it doesn't allow to see the pages without logging in. So I want to take the cookies after I log in to site, and put them to the programme. How can I do?
PS: I have to re-create it like "cookie: name1=value1 name2=value2;" in the program

IE fails to store cookies for some web sites

Hi,
I am working on a PHP based website. The problem is IE is not storing the cookies for this site. I have cross checked this that the cookies are being saved in the system for other sites: I was able to login to Yahoo, Gmail and so on..... only my site is
not working. I tried Mozilla Firefox and Chrome and both are working without any issues.
Usually cookies will be stored to "C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies" and I can see cookies for other websites in this directory but not mine.
This is my url: http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/
Is there anything wrong in domain name? but I think a domain name can contain numbers.
Thanks,
Nagaraj

Hi Kelvin,
Thanks for the reply. You cannot access http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/ on internet, its a local environment. Our customers
have just given alias for localhost I think. We can access this instance using our local network and when I try to login to the site, I noticed the cookies not been saving to the system and this happening only for this site, rest OK.
My doubt is: What is the use of giving domain name when calling setCookie() in PHP?
Is it necessary to set domain name when calling this function? We are assigning NULL ("") value to this option when calling setCookie() funcxtion
At present we are calling setCookie() function like below,
setcookie(name, value, expire, '/', ""); Please note that we are assigning null value to domain name (last option). So do we need to assign domain name here? If so how in this case (http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/)?
I really appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks,
Nagaraj

When I try to open some web sites i am blocked by MOZILLA and redirected to a site I did not want and am unable to close or go back without going back to the home page. Help help help

I have removed the check from the pop up blocked in the MOZILLA options but still get this problem of not being able to open certain sites. The MOZILLA icon appears with the three options available, but before i can click on one I am automatically redirected to a site I did not want, and when I try to go back it will keep coming back to the site MOZILLA put on the computer. I have to close and go back to the home page and start all over again. I have installed a new virus protection system STOPZILLA and could this have any bearing on the problem. After awhile it becomes very frustrating trying to get on line information and being continually redirected. Any ideas?

There are other things that need attention:

How do I disable the annoying green links (advertising) found on some web pages?

I'm not sure exactly what these green advertising links are called, but they're very annoying. Maybe "intellitxt"? I have downloaded Ad Blocker and it helps on the ads for facebook and twitter, which are also annoying, but I can't stop the dreaded green links. HELP!

You can look at Adblock Plus.
* Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

When I sign in to some web sites, if I type a letter, then all the erroneous user names I have used appear for me to choose from, including some I would not others to see. I have deleted cookies and the cache. That did not work. How do I stop this?

I don't know any more details

If you want to remove saved form data from a drop down list then use these steps:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Unable to open web site

Hi
I am unable to open www.asx.com.au (the Australian Stock Exchange web site).
www.isitjustme says it is ok and it's just me and one of my friends confirmed they were able to open the site.
I have rebooted and also booted in safe mode and disabled AdBlockPlus and in safe mode the virus scanners appear to be off.
I haven't been able to find the site listed anywhere on the iMac as being blocked, but am unsure where to start as this has not happened before.
The problem cropped up earlier when I tried to open a spreadsheet in ApacheOpenOffice Calc and the links to import external data from their web pages failed. So I then tried to open the web site and can't open it. I have tried using Safari, Opera and Firefox. All other web sites are ok.
Oh dear.... I just tried on my iPhone and that also failed to open the site.
.....So does this mean that I need to contact the ASX tomorrow by phone or is there another possibility that I need to check.
I though maybe the action of the spreadsheet upset them, but is has been fine for a long time, though I haven't opened it for a few weeks.
Could it be the modem.... a NetComm NB9WMAXX
Thanks

Just rebooted modem and now able to connect. I notice that the ASX web site has undergone a face lift so all the links in the spreadsheet may be broken and caused a bottleneck for me I suppose ????
no replies thanks as is fixed now.

Unable to disable cellular data for podcast app Iphone 4S on IOS 8.0.2

I keep disabling the Cellular Data in the Podcast app settings - but it keeps re-activating itself when I close the settings.
IPhone 4S running IOS 8.0.2, but first noticed on IOS 8.0.0.
Podcasts version 2.2(740)
Rebooting the phone and retrying does not help.
Disabling podcast cellular data from Cellular settings does not work.

1. I do not know if this will help you or not. In researching this issue with my wife's iPhone 5c 8GB, the most common answer you will get is to adjust this or that setting, and disable this or that App. These at best are only a band-aide solution at all. The best reply I got was from a Verizon Rep that stated "By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress, or information is being back-up wirelessly and the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data if it is left on". Afterwards, I discovered the exact same information here on the Apple Support Forum to support this statement.
2. Later onward, I read that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, it will prevent it from going dormant. In which case, this will prevent the iPhone from turning off the WiFi, and keep it connected to the WiFi. So far, this has help the most in controlling the amount of data usage being used, by my wife's iPhone.
3. Now about looking at the detailed usage summary online, you can not go by it to see the exalt date/time stamp of the data usage. Because, by design the cell towers will collect and store certain data usage for up to a six-hours period. After the six-hour period, then the cell towers will release the stored data usage to the company's servers. And at that time, the collected data usage will be recorded on your detailed usage summary online. For a long time, I brainwork that I had caught Verizon with their hand in the cookie jar for say. Because I knew that we were not using data usage at these odd-ball hours of the night or day. Yet, now I have learn that this is just not the case.

Disabling cookies is not 100% working

Hi!
I'm trying to force clients using urlrewriting from the server, so in the
session descriptor, I set the 'URLRewriting Enabled' to true and 'Cookies
Enabled' to false. Then I test it by setting cookies enabled in browser.
Seems this way can't guarantee using urlrewriting instead of cookies, cos
sometimes sessions do get from cookies except that I disable cookies from
browser. Is it possible to force using urlrewriting from the server? I met
this problem with Weblogic 6.1, and it seems OK with 5.1.
Thanks a lot.
Hattie

How are you blocking Google from settings cookies?
Try opening the Permissions manager by typing or pasting '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. Then type ''goog'' in the search box above the site list. What do you have set for google.com? See the attached screen shot for an example.
