Y Firefox is set to delete cookies on shutdown. What happens if power is suddenly lost: are those cookies still readable and operational?

I was logged in on Facebook when my laptop suddenly lost its power. Will someone in service cente be able to enter my account upon opening my Firefox after repair? Windows 7 account is password protected, password is unknown toservicemen.

Firefox should keep the cookies in memory during the session and only write them to disk if Firefox is closed if cookies are kept beyond the session or if there is an allow exception to keep some cookies.
Be aware that protecting Windows with a password usually doesn't mean much because it may be possible to boot the computer via a CD-ROM or USB stick and access local disks directly.

  • I have my FireFox browser set to delete the history when I close the window. It was working for a while and has recently just stopped with no changes to the settings.

    I have my FireFox browser set to delete all the history when I close the window. It was working for a very long time and has recently stopped with no changes to the settings. This has happened once before and I deleted FireFox and re-downloaded it, that solved the problem for a short period of time but the issue has come up again. How can I fix this?

    Can you check your configuration again? Maybe something went pear-shaped somewhere. It's located in Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the Settings button (see screenshot).

    I do not know what happened, all of a sudden Firefox does not want to work anymore. Had been conected to audible. Retried about 4 times.... no luck had to force quit every time. The three Firefox app. into garbage, emptied garbage and redownloaded new version from Firefox. Reinstalled but same thing happened again... no connection.
    What can I do, I like Firefox better than Safari, had it for years on my Mac.
    Please let me know.

    Hey.
    I think it might be the problem with one of your plugins.
    Try to uninstall the webbrowser AND remove the storage from Firefox in your user-account (Linux: /home/username/.mozilla). You can check the list of installed Add-Ons in Firefox under "Extras => Add-ons" or by pressing Shift + Strg + A (Linux).

  • What happens to versions data when files are deleted ?

    When working on a document with an application using autosave, I understand modifications are regularly saved together with the actual state of the file. When such file is dulicated, history and the different versions are not duplicated.
    My question is, what happens to the versions data if the original file is deleted and is the space used for all versions reclaimed ?
    Working with big documents on SSD disk could be a problem seems to me.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Hi Tony,
    As soon as data is deleted from the cube, Data will not be available for reporting. because for any reports data is fetched from Tables, for DSO they will fetch from Active table.
    So you will receive a message Data not found, if the data is deleted from Cube's table.
    Assign some points, if this is helpful.

  • HT1688 If I delete my apple ID what happens to my itunes data?

    my daughter is using my old apple ID, and I gave her my iPhone 5.  I now have a Samsung Galaxy S4, I can't text my husband anymore, ATT said it had something to do with my apple ID.  We used to use the iMessage and now I can't.
    please help.  What happens if I delete my apple ID so I can communicate to and Iphone from a Samsung and what happens to everything in my itunes account?
    Thank you

    As long as you update your existing account with the new email address then you shouldn't lose anything, it should remain linked to the account. You can update the primary email address on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and viewing your account, and via http://appleid.apple.com
    After updating it you may need to tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and log out and then log back in for it to be 'refreshed' on it

  • I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

    I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
    I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
    The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

    If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
    Well, I had already done those things before.  The message I got when I tried is:
    An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html.  Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
    I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension.  That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
    So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message.  It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page.  I was directed to add an account with a different email address.  A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use.  Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird.  I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
    Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email.  I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

  • From an iMac Intel Core i7 running Mac OS 10.7 and Firefox 7.0.1 I'm trying to sync to a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.23, the highest versions available for non-Intel Macs. Is the sync function available between these two computers?

  • Speech to text feature deleting blocks after pause, what happened?

    HTC Rezound
    A week or two ago, my speech to text started to delete entire blocks of words, and start over in the beginning of a thought (spoken).
    I have never had this problem and historically could speak to text an entire e-mail. I understand others with Google phones are seeing this lately as well.
    I have tried to change settings, restart, pull battery/sim..etc... nothing fixes this issue. 
    I need to get details on how to correc this. It's a major problem as I use this often for work, but in current state its unusable.

    I have, several times, as mentioned in the original message.
    This seems to be a major problem for many people, seen below in this link. Its recent.
    I need to know what the fix is. This is my work phone and its a major problem. Please help.

  • Firefox/Google was updated w/o my approval, what happened to my bookmarks?

    When I loaded Firefox/Google I believe it was updated w/o my approval and now my bookmarks are gone. Then I was given an option to pay a third party to fix a problem that Firefox created. I want my previous version of Firefox back. Why can't I have a phone number to call??????

    hello, please understand that like most vendors of free software mozilla does not provide support via telephone, so continue here in the forum where we will try to solve your issue.
    as you have malicious addons present, please perform all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.

  • Browsing history is set to "delete on exit" from Firefox however cookies and history are still listed in Internet Explorer - which I never use. Why??

    Firefox is set to delete browsing history on exit. Appears to be working fine. However, if I open Internet Explorer - after closing Firefox - my cookies and history are listed in Internet Explorer. I have to go to Tools >Options> Internet History and delete everything manually. (Internet Explorer is also set to delete history on exit.
    Why are my cookies and history being transferred from Firefox to Internet Explorer?

    Thanks cor-el for the reply.
    Do not have any MS plugins that I'm aware of. No Silverlight,etc.
    How can I tell if Windows Media player is plugged in to FF?
    No IE View or IE tab.
    Not a major problem because I can go in and delete manually--minor hassle.
    Have had the same problem across several FF updates. Just curious why this is happening.

  • What happens if i sync two desktop firefoxes? Will my bookmarks be organised by computer or will there be duplicates?

    How to set up firefox sync is well described, but there is hardly any information on what happens after setup. I have two computers with different bookmarks and settings and i want to keep it that way, but i would still like to have access to the other computer's data.
    Will the sync import all settings and merge them or will the settings remain separate somehow? Will this only affect bookmarks or also sessions, that is open tabs and windows? I would be okay with merging bookmarks, but browsing sessions need to remain unique although it would be nice to somehow access the open tab list from the other computer.

    Thanks for the reply.
    It is encouraging to see such timely responses!
    I must be old-school ... you know, mainframe days... ;)
    To me synchronize does not necessarily imply merge both into a superset.
    Sometimes synchronize means: make one look like the other.
    (See refs at wikipedia or other online definitions. I only point this out to explain how it is that I do not automatically assume the same process function for the word that Mozilla does. And having worked with user documentation for years, it seems that clarifying of assumed terms is important.)
    Though I am not sure if any authors of the Firefox help pages ever read here, I would wish that they would include just this extra little tidbit - that "synchronize" in Firefox means creating a superset of all data, and then making both look like the superset.
    Would have saved me a lot of time searching and worrying about what will actually happen.
    Sigh.
    The one other thing, which I will probably have to experiment with, regarding bookmark synchronizing:
    What does it do with two similar but not exact bookmarks.
    I am guessing that it will try to match on URL address, not text label. So i wonder what it will do if I have same URL but with slightly different text name label, which one does it pick?
    Or perhaps it will keep both, if its match criteria is both of URL and text name label.

  • After updating to Firefox 8.01 all my add-ons are disabled & I have to manually reinstall those that still work after each reboot??

    After updating to Firefox 8.0 & 8.01 all my add-ons were disabled.
    I have to reinstall those that still can be enabled manually after each reboot. These, that I can reinstall, are:
    Download Helper 4.9.7/WOT 20111107/Adblock 1.3.10/DivX plus Web Player HTML5 2.1.2.145/
    All my other add-ons are incompatible with this version of Firefox! This includes Ghostery which I particularly miss,
    This is annoying!

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

  • What happens if I delete a site in iweb?  site still on the web? system?

    B/c of my various issues i'm having since upgrading iweb, I created two test sites on iweb09. I was able to upload them to the web and to a folder.
    I deleted both. Later, I created another test site with the same name (site 2). I noticed this one was acting weird.
    I'm wondering what happens to the sites after they are deleted.
    1. Are they available on the web?
    2. Are they somewhere else on my system that I should make sure to delete?
    Thx.

    Deleting sites inside iweb does not have any effect on what has been published on a server or to a folder on your local drive. It just changes what is in iWeb's domain file.
