With Firefox 4 gmail stays logged in after Firefox is shut down and restarted

This is related to the post mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811479
with a twist.
In Firefox 4 if you shut down the browser without signing out of gmail you stay signed in, even after a full system shutdown and restart.
I HAVE NO APP TABS etc, and my security settings are also normal (viz. no stay signed in etc etc) I also always use HTTPS
(In earlier versions, if you didnt always use https, then shutting the browser wouldnt log you out. But if you always used https, you would be logged out)
Heres what happens: First let me make it clear that I have no app tabs, and all the other settings are correct (viz. no stay signed in etc etc). Now say one of the open tabs is my mail inbox. If I close and restart browser, I'll be in my inbox!! (Earlier versions of firefox took me to the login page).
Whats the issue here? Does everyone else also experience this?

This is a massive design flaw or bug and needs fixing; I can't recall a larger direct security issue than leaving people prepped for auto-login upon closing a browser, and to one of the most popular email providers in the world. Persisting since v.4 all the way up to current v7.0.1. Ridiculous.

Firefox 7 stays logged in to gmail after Firefox is shut down and restarted

Previous threads exist about this same problem in FF4. This is a report to indicate it still happens in FF7.0.1.
I'm not using app pins, nor remembering passwords (it's completely disabled), nor checking the 'stay logged in' box. I've purged all cookies. I've waited a while before reopening. The fact remains:
If you're logged into gmail and close FF7 (with tab restore on next start), when you re-open the browser, you are auto-magically logged into gmail. This is a MAJOR security problem. This was not a problem in FF3. Other mail services work fine (including my secure work mail); the only offending site I know of is the FF-gmail connection.
This is an embarrassing defect needing fixing.

Update: Users with this problem, see here (as apparently they don't plan to change it; apparently it's more important to save your amazon shopping cart than to protect your private account):

With iOS 7 and certain apps I get a message that ask me to connect to iTunes to receive notifications. After clicking "OK" it comes back repeatedly and freezes the App: Friends, Dropbox, among others. The only way to escape is to shut down and restart.

With iOS 7 and certain apps I get a message that ask me to connect to iTunes to receive notifications. After clicking "OK", it comes back repeatedly and freezes the App: Friends, Dropbox, among others. The only way to escape is to shut down and restart. I think this is a "bug" with older apps. How can I solve it in orther to use the apps? It doesn´t occur with my iPad, only with my iPhone 5.

Thankyou for your kind answer: with Dropbox, it solved the problem; with Friends, still the same

After suspension of hard drive activity, my mac is unable to restart (I must shut down and restart)

when occurs a suspension of hard drive activity, manually or after a period of inactivity, this suspension seems to be incomplete (a ventilator continue to run)
therfore my mac (powermac G5, OS 10.4.11) is unable to restart, no possible action from the keyboard (I must shut down and restart)
is it a known problem ?

I have zapped the pram (5 times)
I have reformatted the hard disk
I have reinstalled all properly (with full updates to 10.4.11)
there is no more problem with classic (il was probably caused by spoiled files)
but the suspension problem persists
it appears that it is probably not the hard disk suspension but the system suspension that is problematic :
when I set preferences so as to accept disk suspension as often as possible, but so as to avoid system suspension (set to "never"), there is no problem
does it exist a specific hardware use to manage suspension and reactivation, and is it tested in apple hardware test ?

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

Losing Desktop Items/Documents after shutting down and restarting

Twice, over the last couple of months after shutting down and restarting my macbook, everything on my desktop gets deleted, and it seems all the settings go back to their original form?
Anyone have this problem?
Message was edited by: jram1111

Hi, I had this problem and it was due to setting file vault in the security settings. I removed having that set and then I had to go into system settings, Account and under Login Items, add back items such as mail and things that required passwords that were not coming up on my dock after each time I shut down.
I hope this is helpful! Better late than never - if you have fixed yours, maybe this will help someone else.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

Not much to go on in your product info, but maybe this will help: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program. If not, then it's time to visit an Apple repair station.

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

When I try to calibrate my iPod nano after a run it just shuts down and restarts. Whats happening?

After I run (iin basic mode) I try to calibrate. (I've done this a few times before).
Lately when I do/try this the iPod just shut down and restarts.
I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes to no help.
It's a 6th generation nano coupled to a nike sensor.
Any help would be much apreciated.

As a test to determine if it is nike sensor only issue run once without the sensor. Use the inbuilt accelerometer to complete a run and calibrate it.

I tried to reload my Ipod touch. I accidently selected "start new ipod" icon on the Ipod and then "back up existing ipod" on Itunes. Now the Ipod is unresponsive, constantly shutting down and restarting. Even after multiple "forced" shut downs. Help!

After updating the os, I tried to shut down, clear and reload my Ipod touch. Here's where I goofed: at the prompt for starting the reload process, I selected "start as new Ipod" on the Ipod, but in Itunes, I selected " back up existing Ipod from computer" or something like that. Now the ipod is constantly shutting down and restarting and no controls can be accessed. All I can do is the "forced shut down" which I have done multiple times and let sit for a half hour off.

Disregard, hooked up to itunes and clicked on summary, selected restore, all is well.

Recovered Files in Wastebasket everytime after I shut down and restart

Dear forum,
I'm new to the Mac. One of the bizarre things I've noticed is that nearly everytime I shut down and restart my MacBook (2 Ghz Intel Core Duo with Mac OS X 10.4.10) Recovered files appear in my wastebasket. These files are random in type: I've seen address book files or iPhoto related files or, in many cases, files that I cannot identify. Am I supposed to "revive" these files and if so how do I get them back to where they should be?
Thanks,
Steve
