What security does Mozilla Fox provide their users?

I am doing a research project on security that internet browsers provide to their users and was wanting more information about what security features they provide to protect their users.

Security Features like sandboxing and checking websites before opening them. Things like that. What does Firefox do to protect their users from getting viruses/malware/spyware if the user doesn't have any anti-virus software? That's the scenario I was asking about. Sorry about the confusion.

What security are you asking about?Crystal Reports is a report design tool. If you need to secure reports so that only certain groups within your organization need can have access to them, Business Objects provides a few options:Business Objects EnterpriseCR ServerCrystal Reports.comI'd suggest going to www.businessobjects.com to learn more about those products.

What security does my iPad 2 have? Bit concerned as some of my accounts have been hacked in to. If it has none can anyone suggest any thing

What security does my IPad 2 have if any. Some of my accounts have been hacked. Can anyone suggest anything. Thanks

Not silly questions at all!
"Safe" is a tricky term. Nobody can ever tell you that accessing websites is 100% safe. Even if you are going through an encrypted site, if you're in a public place, someone could be watching over your shoulder to see you type your login and password.
As you say, the iPad itself is relatively (compared to PCs) secure in the sense that there is no chance of viruses or malware stealing your logins.
But you can take sensible steps to be careful.
If you think you have reason to be concerned about the security of any of the sites you've mentioned, I would recommend you change your passwords. Start with email - if someone else has access to your email, they will often be able to detect and reset any changes you make to other accounts. Then change the other accounts.
Do not use the same password for all your accounts.
Gmail has the ability to use SSL - check in your iPad's Mail settings whether "Use SSL" is ON.
The Barclays app should certainly transmit information in an encrypted manner, so again, provided you have a good password and are cautious about logging in in public view, you're covering your bases.
Finally, let me give you one perspective on computer security that has a lot of truth to it:

When will Mozilla listen to their users?

Same old update cobblers.
Firefox nags and nags about doing the update.
I kept canceling this until I reckoned they must have sorted out the usual plugin cockup and accepted the update and here we go, as usual, this time Cocoon is not compatible.
I now have to use Explorer until this is sorted out.
I do try to be loyal to Mozilla but when you get this on-going fiasco every time an update is available it stretches my patience.
Last week I recommended Firefox to a family member who had just purchased a Nexus 10, Woops! BIG MISTAKE.
Firefox for Android only knows about USA, she spent ages trying to Google for supermarkets in the UK before getting back to me and it was then I realised it was the usual Firefox cock-up and she resorted to Chrome.
Again, I was trying to support Mozilla but at the end of the day people just want things to work and they really don't care to be messed about.

By Cocoon, do you mean this: https://getcocoon.com/support/download
The current download is marked as compatible with Firefox up to version 30. The internal dates in the file indicate it was updated on April 4, 2014.
If Firefox isn't automatically checking for extension updates, could you try a manual update using the following method:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, above the list on the right side, click the "gear" button and choose Check for Updates.
If Firefox is not able to check Cocoon's site for updates, that might be a bug in Firefox, or it might be that the publisher has not enabled Firefox to check because it has its own updating feature. (I'm not very familiar with the options on that, or this extension.)

Does Verizon ever consider their users needs?

I just got a replacement phone, after my old GzOne one died of old age, It was supposed to be a functionally compatible device and is at least water resistant.
However it now has buttons on the outside of the phone. It has a feature to lock those buttons. However some idiot decided that the unlick button for those buttons would also be on the outside of the phone. I do not know about the other users, but when I want the buttons locked, it is because I want to put it in a pocket and not have any outgoing calls. This stupid phone unlocks on a long press on an outside button and then starts beeping and sending default text messages at random. Having the unlock feature on any inside button would be much more useful.
Someone in the loop really ought to review the software requirements for button lock and ensure that the code monkeys are actually meeting the intent of the requirements not just checking boxes off. I am sure that this issue is not just on this phone, but on any phone they had special software made for.

Apple_Boot Recovery HD partition - what exactly does it do?

On a new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) there is a partiton on the internal solid state drive that shows up (you can see it by using Terminal, then type "diskutil list" at the prompt) as Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3.
My question is what exactly does this partition provide? Is the Internet still required to accomplish a "Reinstall Mac OS X"?
Does the partition just provide a quick way to reach the Mac OS X Utilities pane (see below) when restarting your computer while holding down the Command and R keys?
If the partition is not on a MacBook Air (Mid 2011) do you reach exactly the same functionality when you are required to download the Mac OS X Utilities pane from the Internet?
Once at the Mac OS X Utilities pane, would you be required to use the Internet to accomplish a "Reinstall Mac OS X" even with the presence of the the Apple_Boot Recovery HD partition?

2. You can boot from any Recovery HD regardless of its location provided it's connected. For example you can use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant - OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant - to put a Recovery HD volume onto a small USB flash drive with at least 2 GBs of space. You can install Lion onto a 16 GB USB flash drive in which case the installer will include a Recovery HD partition.
3. If you boot from the Recovery HD then the reinstallation is by Internet. If you have your own bootable USB Lion flash drive, then the reinstallation will take place from the flash drive. Here's how the flash drive is made:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Does Mozilla share data with government agency(ies), and if so what data?

I'm looking to switch to a provider who values privacy, and has the integrity to say 'no' to agencies who request personal data illegally. Does Mozilla protect the privacy of their users? This is not a matter of degree; it is a yes or no answer.

HT2736 How does a content provider obtain a redemption code to provide to others for free downloads of their own content

How does a content provider obtain a redemption code to provide to others for a free iTunes download of their own content. This would be similar to what Starbucks does. However, it would the actual content provider and not a third party.

Same issue. We produce a number of Podcasts and are about to launch a national print campaign to promote them under a single brand identity.
I tried that method already as well, but got the response back that I needed to contact a different department using the "report this podcast" link associated with the Podcast in iTunes (which, of course, doesn't have any options for anything close to this type of request.) Been 48 hours and no response yet. Anyone had any success with this?

Weblogic 8.1 JAAS login.configuration.provider from java.security does not seem to work?

We configure a custom implementation of the JAAS
javax.security.auth.login.Configuration class for our applications security
framework in JRE_LIB/security/java.security using the entry
login.configuration.provider=com.foo.SecurityConfiguration
However, this does not seem get picked up and the configuration provider
class instead seems to default to
weblogic.security.service.ServerConfiguration
instead.
Has anyone else seen this?
We're using the JDK bundled with Weblogic 8.1
TIA for your help

Thanks for all the posting re. this issue....
I think the way Weblogic implemented "support" for JAAS in 8.1 totally
blows. In fact, when I asked BEA support about this, they basically sent me
an email saying that "Weblogic owns the JAAS configuration" so if you have a
security framework that is application server agnostic, but leverages JAAS
then you are screwed when deploying on Weblogic 8.1.
I looked for a workaround and believe that instead of using an entry in
java.security for your custom configuration class, if you set the JVM
parameter
-Dlogin.configuration.provider=com.foo.SecurityConfiguration
then what happens is that the Weblogic custom class
weblogic.security.service.ServerConfiguration is invoked by JAAS. It tries
to load the login module configuration and if that fails, it delegates to
com.foo.SecurityConfiguration. So this should enable both the weblogic
security framework and a custom security framework that are both based on
JAAS
I'm currently testing this out

As per documentation in the API JAVADOCS forjavax.security.auth.login.Configuration
>>>>
>>>>
The default Configuration implementation can be changed by settingthe
value of
the "login.configuration.provider" security property (in the Java
security
properties
file) to the fully qualified name of the desired Configurationimplementation
class. The Java security properties file is located in the file named
<JAVA_HOME>/lib/security/java.security,
where <JAVA_HOME> refers to the directory where the JDK was installed.
Have you tried to use a startup class to set the configuration providerusing
javax.security.auth.login.setConfiguration(YourConfigClass);
Weblogic probably uses this to set the configuration class to it'sown.
You have to consider whether this is really something you want to do
however. If you want to get WLS to use a custom authenticator use its
SSPIs. You can configure the order etc. in the admin console.
By overriding the configuration you override it for the server as a
whole which can mean for example that you cannot login to the admin
console. Having said this, from memory, I believe that the property is
ignored in WLS. However you can still call
Configuration.setConfiguration if you really want to.
The fact that there is a "global static" in the Configuration class is
a
Bad Thing IMHO, that was never really designed for an app server
environment.
Robert
If it is a bad thing to have a static how come Weblogic uses it instead ofthe
standard way of modifying the property in java security file - it isbecause
weblogic wants it's own way of implementing instead of using using the'plugable
module' architecture of JAAS.
When weblogic advertised that it will support JAAS the impression was thatWeblogic
would provide a login module that will implement the security mechanism itwanted
- instead it went it's own way.
Also consider the following
1. JAAS specifies a mechanism for multiple configurations based on a'application'.
This is not possible in the current 'weblogic security mechanism'
2. Weblogic says it supports JAAS but what it does not tell you is that inorder
to use available login modules you have to write a whole bunch of code tosupport
principal validators and authenticators. (I begin to wonder if write oncedeploy
anywhere is not part of Sun's certification process anymore)

Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their web search if Google stores everything we search?

Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you search and track what you do online? I've got nothing against Firefox, I'm just wondering why.

I just figured they wouldn't have since they don't track what people do. I figured they were against that.

Does this new security breach affect iPad first generation users?

Does this new security breach affect iPad first generation users? My model uses IOS 5.1.1 software. Will they be making a patch for us too?

What breach?
Nothing was breached.
There was a flaw in ios 6 and 7 in how ssl ccertificates were handled.
Since over 80% of users are on ios 7, around 18% on ios 6 and less than 3% on ios 5-ios 5 is dead.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.

Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id.
