Why does Firefox delete files from my Drafts? Can I stop it?

I get messages saying Firefox has deleted x number of files from th Drafts folder when I really want to keep them.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Why does Firefox keep opening Facebook and how can I stop it happening?

I have Facebook open in secure mode on a Firefox home tab. Now every time I open Firefox it tries to open Facebook in insecure mode. If I close the tab it just opens another.
This is very annoying. How do I stop Firefox doing this?

Is this very recent? Did you install the new Thunderbolt/Ethernet update?

When i delete a message from my iphone why does it delete it from my pc at the same time? I need the messages to go to both until I delete them from my pc.

When I delete a message from my iphone, why does it also delete it from my PC. This happens even though I don't sync them.

Are you talking about mail messages?
Try Settings > Mail > your mail account > Advanced > Delete from server, and set it to 'never'
And if it's an IMAP account try turning on "Archive Messages".

PE 13 Does Not Delete Files From SDCARD or Camera When Importing

I recently updated from PE 12 to PE 13. Now, when I import pictures, even though I use the option to Verify and Delete files, it never asks and never deletes any files. I tried changing the setting and changing it back but that doesn't help.
If you are responding, please don't tell me not ot use this option. I have been using it since PE 1 and never lost anything. I know how to recover from any problems that may crop up. I know many of you don't trust PE and always save the SD card until you have verified the contents of the library and backed it up but that's way too much trouble for me.

This quote is from MS Outlook 2003 for Windows, Outlook is now available for Mac, I think you have to purchase Offiice though.
If you don't mind that it may still be available in Outlook for Mac. you would need to check. Sorry about the font, just copied and pasted. Look under POP3 accounts

Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items' E-mail messages are downloaded to your computer but also remain on the e-mail server indefinitely until you delete the e-mail message in Outlook and empty the Deleted Items folder. Just deleting the message doesn't remove the message from the e-mail server.

Why does firefox delete my incoming mail from the server when I start my PC

I have XP-Service Pack 3. When I start my PC, all my incoming mail is deleted from the server "Ziggo" When I set Windows Internet Explorer as the default, the problem is solved. I used Firefox 5.0 as well as Thunderbird, I'm now using Outlook express and Windows Explorer. I suspect that on Start-up, either Thunderbird or Firefox makes contact with the "Ziggo" server and deletes the mail. Ziggo, my ISP, cannot help me.

You don't have anything under Advanced between the Move Discarded Messages Into section and the S/MIME section?!
I have 2 sections in between:
Deleted Messages> Remove > how long before deleted messages are removed from the trash
and
Incoming Settings > ...
Sorry I do not know why you would not have those sections, especially the Deleted Messages section as this applies just to the Mail app and the Mail trash mailbox
the stock answer when puzzled is to suggest a Reset of your iPad:
hold both the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go promptly when you see the Apple logo. Wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to restart itself. No data will be lost.
see if that changes anything so that those sections reappear in your settings.
You could also try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... I don't know enough about that to know if it will help, but it will mean you have to go back and fix all your settings afterward

Why does Firefox make links in hotmail Draft mush together into gibberish?

Saving links to read later -
Retirement
blue-underlined link
Climate
blue-underlined link
which read fine in Safari on my Mac, but opening a draft in Firefox (clicking on Hotmail's "Continue Writing") shows a solid "paragraph" and when I open this same Draft file in Safari, it looks fine. Fleeing Yahoo mail, if anyone can tell me why saving a Draft in Hotmail is iffy (first, would use browser arrow to go back, watch white dots stream horizontally, now hoping "Save Draft" will cure) that would be great, too. Please.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

Can't delete file from desktop. Can't get info. Doesn't appear in ls -a. What?

Hi folks,
I file has appeared on my desktop. I believe it's a temp file created while downloading something in Safari. When I try to delete it, I get "The item x can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted":
I tried right click > Get Info, and nothing happens (the info dialog does not appear).
I tried ls -al on my desktop, and the file doesn't appear in the list:
How do I get rid of this thing? What is it?

Weird. I guess if this were happening to me, I would see if the thing is still there after a reboot. If it is still there, I would boot with command-R and use Disk Utility to verify and repair the disk (not permissions).
The file name indicates you were downloading something to run under windows. Do you have windows?

How to permanently delete files from trash?

I usually see TV series online. Every time I visit to the website, it automatically downloads a Mac_Installer file to my Downloads folder. I delete the file without opening it and secure empty the trash. When I visit the website again, the same file is downloaded to my Downloads folder, and the "previous deleted file" from the trash can reappears on it. How to solve this matter? My computer is a MacBook Pro and is running OS X Mavericks.
Thanks.

Try erasing free space using Disk Utility.
Erase free disk space
When you delete files in Mac OS X, your Mac deletes the information used to access the deleted files but doesn't physically remove them. Although the space used by the deleted files appears as free space, the deleted files remain on the disk until new files are written over them. As a result, these files can be recovered. Erasing free space does not delete any other files on your disk besides the ones that you already deleted.
After the drive is connected, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
Go Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the disk or partition you would like to erase from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Erase Free Space button.
Use the Slider to choose how many times you would like to write over the free space.
Select Erase Free Space.
Note: After this process starts, you can cancel it at any time without harming any of your data. You might see a message stating that you are running out of disk space. This is normal and to be expected. You can ignore this message.
When the process is complete, you should have the same amount of free space. If you do not have the same amount of free space, try restarting the computer.
I hope I helped.

Can not delete files from Adobe reader

can not delete files from adobe reader.

Can you let us know a little more about what you are trying to do? Adobe Reader opens pdf files but does not store them so, there's nothing to delete.

Cannot delete files from batch file

This is a test case.
If have the following in a .bat file. If I run it from CMD box, it works fine.
forfiles /P c:\scripts\ /S /M u_ex*.log /C "cmd /c del @PATH" > c:\scripts\output.txt
But If I run it from a scheduled task, it generates the output.txt file which contains a list of the files it SHOULD have deleted, but nothing gets deleted.
The scheduled task runs as a user who is member of administrators group, so has full permissions.
I have also checked the box "run with highest privileges"
anyone know why it wont delete files from a scheduled task ?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.
you can bring those dialogs back. iTunes > preferences > advanced > reset all dialog warnings

Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

Just delete that file in the temp folder and cleanup that folder.
