• I do not see in 19.0.2 cookies that I know are there in the window of the cookies I keep always open; Why not?

  I keep the tools-> options-> show_cookies window open whenever Firefox is running. I want to see what sites are down cookies and I their aggressive management, since many sites ignore "do not follow." Sites like nytimes.com lose also, cookies that have read articles. I delete these cookies from counter to counter their surveillance efforts. Anyway, why I do this is not relevant to my question otherwise than to describe the technique that I use. After the upgrade to 19.0.2 the cookies window no longer displays the cookies. I know that they are there because I can always remove from tools-> clear_recent_history. The evidence: I have connection to google/finance and can see portfolio info staff. When I clear_recent_history-> cookies my session of google/finance updates the generic site, without all the personal info. I want to see the cookie real-time activity that I could before this upgrade. What has changed; Why; and how to restore my window in activity of cookie?

  The article on private browsing has been very helpful and gives me another tool, I didn't know I had. I'm not looking for new features after an upgrade as a solid browser that gets the basics right is what I'm looking for. Less is more, as far as I'm concerned. As to not see the cookies in the cookies window, I cut up the pilot error... sort of. I keep the tools-> options-> privacy-> open show_cookies all the time so, I take the default settings for granted. By default, I mean when it opens after a Firefox upgraded it opens a size minimum, even once it has been used several times. So, apparently, after 19.0.2 that he opened in its smallest manifestation, not the way I usually view it. When it is smaller, you don't see its content. After poking and insistence at all to understand what was going on I, just for grins, pulled the corner marker to enlarge and I saw of the current set of cookies. Mea culpa for wasting everyone's time. Thanks for the vector to private browsing. I'll still use the cookies window to selectively blow those I want around the same during active sessions, i.e., subscription sites like nytimes.com that are free items and store results in a cookie. When you hit their arbitrary limit, they demand that you pay up to read more. I object to paying for news content that includes ads. I would gladly subscribe and pay a toll to get a textual context without advertising but I don't pay get their ads too... so I blow this cookie counter and read on. Thanks cor - el for your answer.

• Limitations of Windows Desktop Search?

  I have Windows Search 4.0 installed on my work computer, (XP Professional). I get unreliable results when I do my research. The program sometimes fails to find the words that I know are there, it is sometimes part of my research, for example 'stegmotor' gave a list of all the files where 'steg' could be found. If I'm looking without "" before and after the keyword sometimes get no results. When I include them I have too many files.  Is there a size limit?  Indexed total size is 13 GB.

  Sorry I don't have any better solution for you, but maybe you try this tool and it works then!

• Windows Desktop Search is not working properly

  For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index.  After that performance improves for a few days.  What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.

  slberry50,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
  Restart the Windows Search service
  Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click Services.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
  Right-click the service and then click Properties.
  Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
  Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

  Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
  Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click on Indexing Options.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Click Advanced.
  Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
  Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
  Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

  Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.
