Why does Permanent Private Browsing keep enabling itself?

Every time I open Firefox, Permanent Private Browsing is enabled.
I tried to disable it manually countless times (by un-checking the box next to "always use private browsing mode" in the options window), but then I quit firefox and when I open it up again, there it is enabled again.
Please note that I mean PERMANENT mode, not the temporary option on the main menu.

How do I turn off Private Browsing?
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing#w_how-do-i-turn-off-private-browsing
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> '''Privacy''' panel -> '''History''' section -> ''under'' '''Firefox will:''' ''select'' '''"Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode'''
* place Checkmarks on 1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> 5) Accept Third-party Cookies -> ''under'' '''Keep Until :''' ''select'' '''They Expire'''
* REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> IF you use '''Clear Recent History''' feature, DO NOT select '''Cookies, Forms and Search History, Active Logins, Site Preferences'''
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History#w_what-things-are-included-in-my-history
-> IF you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner etc., DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.

    why does my loud speaker keep switching itself on my iphone.Every time I'm on my phone the loud speaker keeps coming on autermaticly

    Call AppleCare (number is in the manual) and then request to speak to Customer Service. Be patient, organized and articulate and they will transfer you. When you get to speakt to someone then explain your problem and ask for their help. You should have all your receipts, invoices, trouble ticket numbers etc available for reference.
    You can also take to an Apple Store in Spain, while this may not be convenient at least then an Apple person can see the machine and work on it.

  • Private Browsing keeps turning itself off

    Is Private Browsing supposed to only be temporary? Every time I restart Safari 6, Private Browsing turns it self back off again. I wouldnt even care really if it didnt broadcast my current browsing activites to my family-used iPad! Talk about security issues... (Sure I can turn off Safari syncing on the iPad, but then I lose all bookmarks and auto login info).

    Well I guess my point is that it's not really a "setting" if it doesn't stay "set". I realize it is defaulted to off, but once you change it from the default setting, it should remail off--even if restarting Safari. Private Browsing on iOS works as expected; you turn it off and it stays off. I feel like this is a major oversight for Safari on OS X, especially considering the privacy concerns I previously noted. Unless, of course, there is a glitch with my particular system or I am missing a more permanent option somewhere keep Private Browsing turned on.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep rebooting itself uncontrollably

    i left my iphone 4 in my car in sub zero temperatures for a few hours while skiing and when i came back it started acting all weird and refused to turn on. so thinking it was just cold and needed some time to reheat itself, i wernt home and plugged it in and let it warm itself back up for the night. i went and checked on it later on in that same day and i would work, but the processing seemed unusually slow. for example the screen and menu button would delay bigtime. thinking it was still a little cold i decided to reet it and then from there it progessively got worse to the point where neither the screen or menu button would work. i have tried plugging it into my computer, itunes will read that my iphone is there but it just keeps turning itself on until it reaches the lock screen, then it will reboot itself and continue this process. some help please!!!

    Clear the App from background memory, and then try it again.
    Do not use the faulty App.
    If this happens with all Apps, Restore iphone firmware with iTunes, when asked at end set up as New.
    If still problems could be faulty battery, which will be covered by Warranty.

  • Why does Itunes 10.6 keep opening itself (Windows7 64 bit)

    Ok so this has been driving me nuts if I open iTunes once it will continuely reopon itself and with my computer it happens within seconds after closing iTunes. I went to the specific 64 bit download page from apple for iTunes. I have uninstalled itunes then went through and removed every apple file I could find on my hard drives. After doing this tedious task I reinstalled using their "64bit Client" and the problem presists. The only work around I have found is to change itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe to windows 7 compatiblity mode and change it to run as administrator. But now when I try to use wifi sync iTunes cannot open. I have been reading and everyone says close third party apps, but I have none. I even uninstalled my Logitech G15 software thinking that was causing the problem. I know apple have gone the way of "we are a hardware company" but I don't see why they have to create absolute garbage software like this which runs their hardware. It happened during 10.5.4 and now 10.6, and from what I can see other people have been having this issue way before me.

    Refer to this discussion link.  It's the Logitech Gaming software.

  • Why does my ipod touch keep pausing itself?

    While listening to my first generation ipod touch, it will just pause itself. Whether using headphones, auxillary jack, or skull candy speakers which connect through the charging port on the ipod. REALLY ANNOYING!

    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 another cable       
    - 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 does my mac pro keep restarting itself

    It restarts by itself at least 4 times before I can use it without issues.

    I tried to get your post moved to the MacBook Pro forum where others with your model and experience.
    Pulling answers out of a rabbit's hat is magic. Diagnosing anything is trial and error and starting from scratch.
    If it is for business, you should have multiple booable backup copies of your system so you can work from another hard drive.
    I keep a spare computer handy if one of them runs into trouble.

  • Why does my 2010 MBP keep restarting itself after upgrading to Yosemite?

    This problem actually started once I upgraded to Mavericks - my MacBook Pro will randomly restart itself every 30 seconds - 15 minutes or so. I don't really have a good estimate of the occurrence though since it is so random and there seems to be no rhyme or reason. The only thing I can say is that it pretty much always restarts if I am resizing windows. When I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, it kept restarting itself but now it restarts twice every time! It's added an additional restart in the middle of the boot up screen. I reformatted the drive, reinstalled the original software and then reinstalled all the software upgrades and the problem persists. I know I should probably take it in to see a Genius as my best guess is that there seems to be an error with the graphics card, but I'm a college student on a very tight budget, so if there's anything I can do myself to fix this that would be great! Any help is appreciated! Here is the text from the last kernel panic:

    Just thought I would reply here in case anyone finds this post and has the same problem.
    I downloaded this app: https://gfx.io/  and set my graphics card to "integrated only" and it has solved the problem. Just remember to always set it to "integrated only" if it's not already set to that after anytime you restart your computer.

  • Why does my Safari browser keep having pop-ups and new windows open without permission?

    Whenever I click on a button to go to another page or something, a new tab with a new website opens up. When I search on Google, there are all kinds of ads and pop-ups on there. I really know nothing about Internet security, so I do not know what is wrong.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Why does my ipad mini keep restarting itself?

    I bought an ipad mini in Feb, 2013 and until 2 weeks ago it has been working like a charm. Now my ipad mini  restarts on its own without my consent. I have witnessed it restart when i have been reading books from ibooks, when opening programs, when listening to music and a few times when it hasn't been in use just sitting on the bench in screen saver mode. Yesterday i plugged the mini into my laptop and determined that i am currently using the most up to date software and that ensured i had saved a back up on the icoud and my computer. Finally i went trhough itunes to restore my ipad to is factory settings. This was completed this morning without a glitch only to find some 10 hours later my ipad is continueing to restart without any warning. Help!!

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

    After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

    I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
    Thanks for your response.
