What is datareporting.sessions.current.activeTicks in about:config

I'm wondering what the following about:config entries are for
- datareporting.sessions.current.activeTicks (counting up in single increments every few seconds)
- datareporting.sessions.current.totalTime (jumping up in the thousands every few seconds)
- datareporting.sessions.previous.NNN (40 entries where NNN is currently numbered from 158 to 198)
I'm concerned that data is being stored, updated and/or sent to a third party without my consent or knowledge. It also may be worth mentioning that Telemetry and Crash Reporter are both disabled in my Advanced Options.

I'm reasonably happy with the info provided. Marking this one as solved 'cos Mozilla still seem to be doing things right even though their browser does some silly things sometimes.
Ahem.

What happened to security.warn settings in about:config. They are missing in FF25. Please help!!

Hi,
I'm upgrading from Firefox 15 to Firefox 25.
I used to be able to set the following security warnings in about:config.
security.warn_entering_secure
security.warn_entering_weak
security.warn_leaving_secure
security.warn_submit_insecure
security.warn_viewing_mixed
Not anymore. Looks like these are missing from Firefox 25.
Please help!! Urgent.
Thank you.
Sr.

the warnings about entering/leaving a secure site are totally gone, you'd have to look out for the security indicator at the start of the address bar to get that information about a site: https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2012/06/site-identity-ui-updates/
 or use an extension like this one for better visibility: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/safe/
the warning dialog about submitting data over an insecure channel at a secure site should still be in place...

How to use about:config to REMOVE Delta Search from my new tab

I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

Why should we have to do this? I ticked the box that said I didn't want to install it. You, Delta Search, are a bunch of troublesome low lifes.

My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to. what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema. Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
OR
2. Using single schema for all users.
Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.
What is the Best case.
Please give Your valuable ideas

[nQSError: 46104] The current operation was about to overflow the stack.

Hi BI,
I have some reports that return the following error:
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 46104] The current operation was about to overflow the stack. Please simplify or discontinue from the current operation. (HY000)
Does anyone know what could be the causes? Or possible solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the stack overflow is occurring there would be a coredump file created. Evaluate the coredump file.
If the issue is only while running the report then increasing SERVER_THREAD_STACK_SIZE in NQSConfig.INI will work.
If the issue causing during start up of services then OBI_BACKGROUND_STACK_SIZE needs to be set in opmn.xml.
Let me know if this helped.
Regards,
Jay

What a long time, loyal customer hates about Verizon.

I've had Verizon since the early 2000s, and don't plan on changing that any time soon. But only for one reason: coverage.
Everything else? Phones, customer service, etc? Abyssmal, and always has been. Not to mention their ditching of decent data plans, yet they offer loads of free cloud storage. Really?
I have a Note 3. Its awesome. But every phone I've ever had has always been last on the update block, even if it's brand new. They always load crap onto them, lock them up, dump features they don't like, and make it impossible to really experience your phone how it was advertised.
I will never go into a contract with them again either. I have my unlimited data still, and the day they try and take it, I'm gone, as that and coverage are the only things keeping me.
Don't get me wrong. When I say customer service I don't mean the people. Most of their employees are great. What I mean is what they offer customers and how they milk us for money, yet we don't get the quality of a decent phone experience as payment.
The phone is, and should be, the absolute priority. The market revolves around it. It is the reason for the market.
So this is my question: Why can Verizon not just give us phones with removable bloatware and decent update schedules? Not to mention unlocked bootloaders.
It doesn't make sense to me from a business perspective. Their competitors can only compete in the phone quality ring. Verizon already won the coverage fight.
So, why can't Verizon JUST LIBERATE OUR PHONES? Their competition would be nailed by it, people would flock to Verizon, and old customers would return. Heck, they could probably still get away with their data cost robbery.
Look. I love Verizon for their coverage. Their phones are great, but when Verizon gets their hands on them, kills updates, locks development, and dumps bloatware that nobody wants onto them?
Verizon works for the customer. If their phones reflected that, they would be king.
So. Why not? Please tell me.
-Partially satisfied, loyal, extremely critical customer.

Abosultely Crazy. You know what is funny is currently I work for Verizon but I have my S4 through T-Mobile. I seriously dislike the service that I get but I need unlimited data due to me averaging 12GB per month. I have been at a crossroad for quite some time now because I want to get the Galaxy S5 but through T-mobile I will need to pay Full Retail Price and get poor coverage. Granted, I live in Metro-Detroit and I have amazing LTE service at my home and everywhere I go which would be work and back. Ha. If I leave the big city I immediately lose coverage. I got 4.4 about 1-2 weeks ago. I can't remember the exact date, it is pretty nice. Not a whole lot changed really. Built in Emojis are enjoyable.

Cannot disable SESSION RESTORE, already followed your stupid directions and edited ABOUT:CONFIG

I already tryed to disable the stupid RESTORE SESSION, by following your dildoish instructions I edited the line in about:config----- browser.sessionrestore.resume_from_crash and set that to FALSE like you instructed but it still opens the last pages viewed, what gives?
''Edited by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] .''

This sounds promising:
In about:config, set both 'browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo' and 'browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo' to 0.

I just bought a recertified Mac Mini, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.

I just bought a recertified Mac Mini core duo - it's not the newer model-, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it and using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.
The company I bought it from is not Apple, and I may regret that. It was in my price range, though.
This is the first time I've used this community, and I've been a Mac owner since 2000. Thanks in advance!

when you say "Mac flat screen LCD", do you mean this:

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Hi I would like to totally reformat my Macbook Pro. What is the best way to go about it?

I have a Macbook Pro and would like to do a complete reformat. I installed Moutain Lion when it came out and do not wish to pay again since I've already paid. I have OS 10.6.4 discs with me which didnt come with my MB but with my previous one. What is the best way to go about it? I have bootcamp and wish to get rid of it (one of the many reasons of wanting to reformat)
Thanks

You can use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp Partition - best way to do it.
If you use the Recovery Disk Assistant to create a recovery usb thumbdrive you can boot to that and repartition the MacHd and reinstall the OS directly.
When you purchase the OS you are free to reinstall without repurchasing as long as yo have access tot he Apple Id you used to make the purchase

I have looked all over on how to get the close tab x back on the tabs including disabling all addon, safemode, and about config value fix but cannot get x's back on tab. What next?

Title says it all.

Look at the pref browser.tabs.closeButtons on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.tabs.closeButtons
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

What are the "bookmarkTools.dupBm160" (many entries) in about:config and how can they be removed if not needed?

In about:config I noted MANY entries that start with: bookmarkTools.dupBm
What are they? What purpose do they serve? How to get rid of them if they serve no purpose?

Probably added by an extension.

Need to disable the clearing of browsing history and what is the "about:config" function for it?

I am working on an Group Policy Administrative template for Wetdog.exe, and it's awesome by the way. Just want to know what function to use (listed in "about:config" url) so i can turn this feature off entirely.
I don't want my users deleting browsing history, or have any ability to view it either.
Still, i want the browser to keep at least 30 days of history.
This is EASILY accomplished in Internet Explorer via GPO, but not so much in Mozilla with wetdog.exe and it's admin templates. I am using Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition R2 on 2 domain controllers, and Windows XP Professional SP3 client workstations with Mozilla 3.6.3 and the latest version of Wetdog.exe and it's admin templates.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

It can be annoying, but I think their motivation is good. They are trying to make things better for their customers and I think they have, even though sometimes it is annoying. I think it would be nice if they would advise us when the pages are going to be down for maintenance, In the mean time, you could have another E mail account so you can always get access to your E mail.
