USA Today reported that Firefox had a built in feature to opt out of web tracking. How do I access this feature or setting?

The article was regarding a potential new law which would require web hosters to honor the wishes of a visitor with a "do not track" clause. It mentioned that Firefox made this option available to its users through its software. Please provide any details so I can access this feature or setting.
Thanks

I haven't had any problems accessing my bank, MasterCard, or any other sites that I do electronic funds transfers.
I don't save user-names or passwords but remember that these two programs are mainly after tracking cookies not the site cookies from your bank etc.
In tools|options|privacy you can set up FF to save site cookies and let the others be discarded. See the article at
[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cookies?s=managing+cookies&as=s]]
for basic cookie management and preferences.

Unable to open firefox, tried to uninstall to reinstall and it says that firefox is open but when i check there are no apps open how do I fix this? I had to go onto internet expluerer to get here

I have not been able to get onto the internet using firefox. when I click on it it goes through the motions but nothing happens. I had to use internet explorurer to go to the net. I tried to uninstall firefox to reinstall it thinking there was a problem and it tells me that I have one or more apps on firefox open when I go to cntl/alt/delete is shows me nothing is open. I can not uninstall firefox. it is not my computer since I am using internet eplr. right now. How can I solve this I like firefox and want to continue using it but this is a problem.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

I uninstalled Norton 360 under windows xp and now I'm getting this problem that firefox will no longer load pages. IE and Outlook still work and I can access the internet with them, I can ping any website I like successfully but Firefox won't load any pages ... N
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I uninstalled Norton 360 ==

I found a fix for this, not only firefox but several other networking programs were broken as well (Outlook and IE were ok for some reason) so I reasoned that the Norton uninstall was incomplete somehow - I had done it from the add/remove programs in the control panel. Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

HT203200 I had downloaded an album and 4 songs did not download. How can I fix this?

I had downloaded an album and 4 songs did not download. How can I fix this?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I have Firefox 5, but need to downgrade to 3.5 or 3.6, how do I do this?

I have Firefox 5, but need to downgrade to 3.5 or 3.6, how do I do this? Can you help me please? It is important to finish something I am working on.

If you need that older version to access specific websites then you can install the portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

The iphone will mirror the selected content of your computer.
Make sure everything is on your computer. Select what you want on your iphone, sync

"The reply" as in the Rescue email to reset your Security Questions? If so, then you will have to contact iTunes Support directly to get them reset:

I had my iPhone stolen last night and now want to know how do I access my iCloud storage?

If you've wiped the device remotely then it is no longer associated.
You could also change the password for your Apple ID.

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.
