• Is there a way to set a cookie to be stored permanently without going in tools | Options | etc and then manually by typing in the URL?

  I have put cookies expire when I close Firefox, but want some select sites for permanent cookies. I can do this job by by going to tools | Options | Privacy | Exceptions of cookie dialog box and then manually by typing in the URL for the site that I want to have stored cookies permanently. But it seems that if the site is currently open in a tab, I should be able to click on something, somewhere, like "allow the current site to have permanent cookies."

  Is this possible?

  You can see the permissions for the domain in the active tab in tools > Page Info > permissions

  • A way to see all the permissions is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar.
  • Click on the "More information" button opens the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
  • The permissions of the "Page Info" window tab.

• Cookie of Safari of pop - up + questionable Adware - help!

  I just got this weird popup in Safari (a background tab has been opened) and when I went to that, that's what part of it looked like (screenshot):

  

  I thought that it is a scam and immediately closed the tab. TBQH, it I freaked out a little because I started to have Windows 98 déjà vu and have always known this on a Mac I have never go on sites randomly and frequently check the security updates (adobe, browser system., etc.).

  Anyway, I went in Safari preferences and decided to take a look in the cookies where I came across this cookie to: infection - system - virus (dot) com

  Here is the screenshot:

  

  Question: Should I delete this cookie? What in the world? Am I infected or has malware? I'm worried I have a virus and receive more concerned at the moment. Help!

  Thank you very much

  FYI: I'm on Mavericks (latest updates installed), Safari 9.1.1, on a Macbook Pro (mid-2012).

  In response to my original question - if I understand post Linc Davis on one post someone to another upthread - I need to remove/reset my browser cookies (and history) in Safari preferences. I hope that is correct and not a sign of malware, etc., hiding in my system?

  That apply to the Mavericks by using Safari 9.1.1 (last) or only at El Capitan and Yosemite OS x?

  Should I still run some kind of scan or antivirus on my macbook pro just to be safe? If Yes, where and what?

  Thank you.

• Problem with pop up adds and virus warnings when using safari

  I have an iMac with OS version 10.11.4 2011 mid.  Sites that I visit such as Ancestry.com, Google Maps and find A Grave.com, download pop up ads and new tabs open with warnings of virus heading towards various support sites, including those who say that Apple in charge.  The pop up and new tabs who may or may not happen if often the Web sites are very slow to respond at all to give me the turning ball.

  I closed several times tried to solve the problem in closing Safari, turn off my Wifi, then restart safari while pressing the SHIFT key, and then once that Safari has loaded, removing all data from the website and checking my making sure that my security settings is set to block pop-up windows up , and that my privacy is set to allow cookies and data Web site only on Web sites that I visit. Once I did this I activate Wifi.  But it does not clear the problem. I also ran Clamxav with the latest virus definitions that found six files with extensions of .emix that have been found in my emails and phishing files.

  I switched to Firefox as my default browser and have so far not had a problem with the pop adds up or virus alerts.  And the Web sites I visit have been working properly.

  What should I do to clear the problems I am having with Safari?

• Crashes when you use safari

  MY Mac Pro 2009 crashes when you use Safari. I can tell when it is about to happen. The screen will start to Flash and the mouse still moves, but you cannot select anything. Sometimes I can get it to unlock by pressing the ESC key.

  When the freeze on Safari, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

  Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

  Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

  Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

• CPU use Safari

  Updated for Sierra. Noticed an excessive use of processors in MacPro when you use safari, interesting use is much less in the technology preview release. All solutions?

  Hello MarkWithers,

  If I understand correctly, looks like your Safari app uses more processing power that it should. I highly recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you solve this problem:

• I have the same error message on Google &amp; Shaw and BC issues, but I also use Safari accessing google through Shaw is the problem with Firefox?

  The problem seems to lie between Firefox & Google talk to each other. I also use Safari as a browser, also liked to Shaw and don't have no problem with Google Mail, (cards and other sites which now belongs to Google.)

  This is caused by the network of Shaw, they are working on a resolution, but in the meantime the fix above will work. After Shaw solves their problem be sure to reset this value by default is that it is a safety device, you do not want allowed.
