Why does the BLOCK REPORTED WEB FORGERIES become disabled when I close Firefox?

I will enable the BLOCK REPORTED WEB FORGERIES in the control panel, however if close and then open Firefox it will be disabled.

At the moment I use Norton 360. I have Norton on other machines and it does not turn off the Block Attack Sites nor Block Reported Web Forgeries. My first thought is that I have been breached and Malicious Code is the culprit.

  • I want to block reported web forgeries, but cannot find the preferences button.

    I have Windows XP and Firefox 7.0.1. I am trying to "block reported web forgeries." The instructions I read said I could get to this choice via "Firefox"," preferences", and "security." Within "security" I would have the desired choice.
    I have apparently done something wrong. I do not find a "Firefox tab", much less a "preferences" choice. Please be kind; I am not very knowledgeable. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste in this setting. This is the fourth time I have tried to write this question. Several months ago, when I asked a question, I used the wrong terminology and got a sarcastic answer. I need help, not judgement.

    I followed your instructions, and they worked great! Once the Firefox button was available, there were other choices I had been wondering about. I will try them out (copy, paste using clipboard) when I have time. Thank you for the suggestion.
    I also converted back to the original menu format by going to the "options" choice after clicking on the Firefox button. Within the options you check "menu bar" and the menu bar appears complete with a "tools" choice. This procedure may only work with Windows XP, but if you want a "tools" choice and a menu bar this procedure might be worth a try. The "tools" menu has nearly all the choices available when the "Firefox" button is visible, and very few, if any new options. The key to switching formats is in choosing the "options" button where ever it appears in either format. All of these choices are in the upper-left corner of the screen.

  • Why does the Linksys WRT54G router REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?

    Why does the Linksys WRT54G REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?
    I can't find a single use for the router hostname, yet the Linksys WRT54G version 5 firmware v1.00.6 wireless router REQUIRES a hostname, even though nothing actually uses that hostname.
    Why does the router require a hostname (why can't we just leave that field blank)?

    From: "Debbie Hurley"
    Subject: "Unnecessary Router Name Requirement" bug in WRT54G V5
    This is to report a bug in the "Setup", "Basic Setup"
    tab, "Router Name" field
    (https://10.2.18.20/basic.htm) in the otherwise
    wonderful Linksys WRT54G V5 wireless router (firmware
    revision 1.02.0).
    As you are aware, a router is a security and privacy
    device; as such, it should not require identifying
    information if that identifying information is not
    needed nor used by the user or their ISP.
    Such is the case with the "router name" field.
    In the case of the "Unnecessary Router Name
    Requirement" bug, I am reporting to you (and to the
    associated Linksys forums at forums.linksys.com) the
    Router Name field should NOT be required. It should be
    an option to leave the Router Name field blank.
    The fact that the router name field MUST exist
    (whether or not it is actually used or desired), is an
    obvious security and privacy flaw in the otherwise
    wonderful Linksys WRT54G router. Please fix this bug.
    Thank you very much,
    D. Hurley

  • HT3915 Why does the mobile me prompt keep popping up when I moved to icloud long ago?

    Why does the Mobile Me prompt telling me I have entered an invalid password keep popping up when I moved to icloud long age?

    go to Tools, add-ons, then only disable java 6.0.22 ONLY, then you have to click on restart. That solved my problem.

  • Why does the process Report Crash stay active and take up over 100% of the CPU?

    In addition to window-server taking an inordinate amount of CPU, I am seeing that the process "Report Crash" is sucking up 102% of the CPU and occasionally goes down to 90%.  ***?  What IS Apple doing these days?  Their products are getting worse and worse!

    Select that process and kill it in Activity Monitor, see if it comes back.

  • Why does the flash video have much higher contrast when the window is maximized?

    When using Mozilla Firefox, any flash videos like those on youtube, when maximized, shows much higher contrast. The video becomes so dark that it is pretty difficult to view it. When zoomed out, everything looks normal.
    The work around I ended up using, was to maximize the window using ctrl++ option without using the "fullscreen" button. It is a hassle, but it works. Does anyone know why this happens?
    I use Mozilla FF 19.0.2. Btw, this doesn't happen on Chrome or IE.

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.
    What do you think  jessejarvi?

  • HT1600 why does the apple TV say theres no connection when I have it?

    Why does my apple TV want to recognize my internet password? and what does -39092 mean?

    Hi MLFO!
    I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • Why does the text in text boxes go invisible when annotating PDFs in preview?

    If I hover my mouse over where the text box is, the little yellow box that tells you what text is there comes up and shows what the box is supposed to say, but the text is invisible. If I double click the area where the text is supposed to be, it highlights and makes the text visible again. Its not that the text is white, because if i drag it over a dark area, it still doesn't show up. This happens when I open it up again after annotating and saving/closing it. I attached pictures of my cursor hovering over the invisible text box, and one of it hovering over an unaffected text box, for comparison. This has happened to me before. What is happening and how do i stop it?

    But, about half the time, when i am finished typing and click out of the box, back to view the result, the text does not appear. If i go back to Edit Content within the box, it is there, but disappears when i exit the box. It does not print when i print a test sheet.
    The fact that 'about half the time' you are seeing this issue and presumably not the other part of the time, I would suggest trying to run the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog:
    Quit Aperture > press and hold Option + Command keys while launching Aperture > select and run the 'Repair Database' option.

  • Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

    When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

    I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
    The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line.  Of course, this prevented me from using it properly.  I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences.   The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings.  Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before.  I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program.  I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
    The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening.  However, I hope this is fixed in a patch.  I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading.    For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

  • Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

    When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution.  I am not even able to select the proper resolution.  
    I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM).   When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution.   When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution.  I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well.   Does anyone have any insight into this?
