Why aren't Flash cookies cleared the first time I exit Firefox?

I am running XP, Firefox 16.0.1 and Flash Player 11.4.402.287 and have Firefox configured to "Clear history when Firefox closes", with "Cookies" (amongst other options) checked in the "Settings for Clearing History". I also have Flash Player configured to "Block all sites from storing information on this computer."
As I understand things, starting with Firefox 4 and Flash Player 10.3, having Firefox configured this way should cause Flash cookies to be deleted upon exiting Firefox. I also understand that even though I have Flash configured as I do, a list of sites that attempt to plant a Flash cookie will still be recorded in the main settings.sol cookie.
I have noticed, though, that this list of empty Flash cookies is not deleted the first time I exit Firefox; rather, the list is deleted after launching and then exiting Firefox again.
Here's a step-by-step example:
1) Control Panel -> Flash Player -> Storage tab -> Local Storage Settings by Site... button -> confirm that the list is empty
2) Exit the Flash Player Settings Manage
3) Launch Firefox -> go to www.hulu.com and click on a video to start it playing
4) Relaunch Control Panel -> Flash Player -> Storage tab -> Local Storage Settings by Site... button -> confirm that the list shows www.hulu.com, 0 bytes, Block
5) Exit the Flash Player Settings Manager
6) Exit Firefox
7) Relaunch Control Panel -> Flash Player -> Storage tab -> Local Storage Settings by Site... button -> NOTE THAT THE LIST STILL SHOWS www.hulu.com, 0 bytes, Block
8) Exit the Flash Player Settings Manager
9) Relaunch Firefox
10) Relaunch Control Panel -> Flash Player -> Storage tab -> Local Storage Settings by Site... button -> NOTE THAT THE LIST STILL SHOWS www.hulu.com, 0 bytes, Block
11) Exit the Flash Player Settings Manager
12) Exit Firefox
13) Relaunch Control Panel -> Flash Player -> Storage tab -> Local Storage Settings by Site... button -> NOTE THAT THE LIST IS NOW EMPTY
So again my question is - why isn't this list emptied the first time around?

Ok, so I created a new profile and followed the steps I spelled out in my first post several times - each time the Hulu flash cookie was cleared the first time I closed Firefox.
So what would you recommend I do next to get to the bottom of the behavior in my current profile? Should I go about disabling my extensions and plugins one by one and repeating the test each time?
Thanks again so much for your time and help.
PS: I never have a problem with Hulu playing with my flash local storage set to zero - interesting that you do...

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up.

* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat!

For the first time I hate Firefox! Important time-saving feature removed (4.0)

For the first time I hate Firefox (4.0).
They removed the feature for the user to jump back multiple pages at once. I use this MANY MANY times a day and now I have to go back one page at a time until I get back to where I want to go. IF I have to go back (say) 10 pages or so it takes forever and I have to wait for the page to show to see if that is the one I wanted or have to go back further. This is a HUGE waste of time.
IF Firefox does not restore this feature soon I will have no choice but to find another browser that has this feature. I cannot and will not waste my time with a browser that doesn't have this important feature.
Also, 4.0 is regularly crashing (much more than before).

It is still there. You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

My ipad won't turn on. Have tried to reset by pressing the two button at the same time. It work. Why is this happening? For the first time it happened to me after using the ipad 4 running on ios 7, for almost a year and a halftime

My ipad won't turn on. Tried to reset and it work. I'm using ipad 4 with ios 7 and this is the first time that this happened to me.what is wrong with the ipad?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why do blgs not load properly the first time

Why does it take several "refreshes" to load pages for blogs properly?

It could possibly be an issue with your Firefox Cache. Try [[How to clear the cache|Clearing your Cache]], and see if that makes a difference. Also, [[Websites look wrong]] has some basic troubleshooting you can try.
If that doesn't work, Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.

The first time I tried Firefox,I had it as a secondary browser.This time,even though I didn`t want it as my main browser it automatically took over.Is there any

This time,even though I didn`t want it as my main browser,it took over automatically.Is there any way I can change it?

To stop Firefox from checking whether it is the default browser, use the Options dialog as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] (first screen shot).
To have your preferred browser make itself the default again, it may well prompt you, or you can check its Options dialog.

The first time I open firefox memory used is about 58000k. and an increase of approximately 122000k +. is this normal? if not what is normal memory used for firefox?

memory used in firefox

That depends upon the homepage you have set, but with the default about:homepage you should see like 60,000 Kb with Firefox 7.

Edge animate animation does not start the first time I load the page. But does the second time.

Hi all,
I am having trouble with an edge animation on a web page. It doesn't load the first time the page is loaded, but loads fine the second time or any time after that. To test I am clearing my cache, then reloading the page. It seams to work in IE the first time but not Firefox or chrome.
I have a temporary copy of the page here ... http://emiwip.com/monique-mathieu/landing-page-wip.html
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks.
Dan

I found the answer here ... Publishing no longer works in latest Edge
It appears that you need to load the latest jQuery in the head of the pag. That fixes it.

RemoteObject FAULT handled only the first time

I'm creating RemoteObject and then handling the fault event
myRemoteObject.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,
faultHandler);
protected function traiterFaute(event:faultHandler): void
CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
mx.controls.Alert.show("An error has occured");
Why this event is only handled the first time ?? So in this
cas the Alert Box is appearing only on the first fault !!!
Is it normal ,

I ended up creating a new RemoteObject on each request. Seems
terribly inefficient, but it's the only thing that worked.

When I turned on my computer this morning a heard a fan go on for the first time. Is this something I should be concerned about, I am sure I have never heard it before.

When I turned on my computer this morning, a fan like noise and air came out of the back of the computer. I have never heard this before. Should I be concerned, and why am I hearing this for the first time?

I don't believe it is cause for concern, but I would perform a System Management Controller reset:

I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

Hi there!
I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they?

cs5 PC.
Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they? Can I get them to be saved with the project?

they aren't able to be exported as an entire bin folder ready for importing into another if needed.
Oh, but they are! You can select multiple titles, or even a bin containing multiple titles, and use the same File > Export > Title command. Premiere Pro will ask you where you want to save the first (and change the name, but it will default to the name given in the project), and then will automatically export all selected titles without further user intervention. You can import them en masse or in a folder (to create a bin automatically) into another project.

Why is it so hard to do things right the first time?

My company is no longer providing Blackberry phones to its employees. So I decided to upgrade my personal phone, change my plan and try to minimize my monthly bill increase. I went with the S4, share everything with 4GB of data. I questioned the sales associate, "will this work with Good Messaging service? I have the feature number if needed." The associate said, "No it will work fine." He then asked another associate, "Right, Good Messaging will work with this share everything plan?" and the other associate confirmed. Walked out with my new phone, plan change and a $10 a month increase. When I got home I set up the Good Messaging app and work emails were available. I didn't have a good feeling about the associate having to ask again and before I decommissioned the Blackberry I wanted to triple check the Good Messaging/Enterprise data feature was part of my plan. I opened up a chat with an online associate and asked the same question... "Can you please verify the feature...?" Online associate again confirmed, "Yes, this feature is included in your plan.". I arrived at work the next day and received an email from the company support team stating that my Good Messaging service had been set up, but that my wireless plan did not appear to have the "feature" included. The email requested that I call Verizon and ask them to add the feature. I contacted Verizon immediately, informed them of the situation and conversations with other associates, the phone associate verified that I did not have the feature on my plan. She then added the feature and noted that this would increase my monthly bill by $15, asked if there was anything else, nope, and asked that I have a great day!
I'm frustrated simply because 3 Verizon employees verified that this feature was included in my plan! I'm not sure why it is so hard to do things right the first time.

Update: A couple of weeks ago I called Verizon back again after speaking with my company. The woman on the phone was very apologetic after hearing the story above. I then stated that people at my company reconfirmed that the service should be $5 not $15. She took a minute to look up the feature and said it didn't appear to be available to me for $5, but was fully aware of the feature being available for $5. She stated that she would credit my account for $10 and find out how to add the service at $5 and contact me when this was done. Finally, I felt like I got some progress.
A couple of days later I received a phone from a VZW specialist (or some other title, don't recall). The gentlemen asked about the past issues if I still had any concerns. I stated the previous person I had spoke with provided me with a $10 credit and was working on adding the feature for $5. I asked if he could confirm. He pulled up my account and stated the feature was not available to me for $5. I read him the announcement from my company regarding the "special plan" they had worked out with Verizon and he stated my account was still showing under a previous company that I had worked for. He then proceeded to say that this was probably the reason why the $5 feature was not available to me and that I should which my account to my current company. The next day I tried to switch my account to my current company and I kept getting an error message stating that I needed to contact support.
I finally got around to contacting support today and mentioned that I was trying to switch my account to my current company discount plan. I told him that I was unsuccessful trying on line. He pulled up my account and checked if my current company had a discount available. He couldn't find any discounts. While he was on the phone I went online and filled out the getdiscounts form. Got the email to my corp email and read off the discount amounts from the email. I then tried to make the changes online again and it worked. He verified the change had taken place and I asked him to confirm that the good messaging service was showing at $5. Nope it was still showing as $15. I briefly informed him of the history and asked me to hold. Came back about 30 seconds later and stated the feature is $15 for my account and there is no $5 feature.
So after 10+ years of loyal service to Verizon, I've almost completely lost all confidence in their ability to service correctly the first time.

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?
