Found that secret hidden Firefox traveled screenshots

I mainly use Firefox as my browser on my most recent iMac with the mountain lion. I had accidentally deleted some photos of the family of my office and used a program of recovery tool to rub my hard disk for recently deleted images. The program worked fine I could recover my family deleted photos but I had to go through hundreds of images to find them. Hundreds of images that I've lived, I found screenshots of my Firefox banking sessions, Amazon shopping in google searches. I was stunned. They were only screenshots of Firefox browsing sessions. Hundreds. All taken without my knowledge. I erase my data often on Firefox. Cookies, cache, history, etc. I have everything clear. Anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? It is certainly a security issue, a lot of screenshots, even showed 'sign' screenshots of sessions of banking and usernames from amazon, email log-ins, etc.. I don't know where the screenshots are stored, as I said I used a deleted image recovery program and it does not, it is just files. I've scoured my computer looking for images JPG, png, etc. and could not find anything on mine.

Hello Butthump, what you see may be created for the default new tab pagewith thumbnails.

to disable the creation of generally cached thumbnails, enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears). Click somewhere on the page, and then create a new Boolean preference named browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled set to true.

  • Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer

    I get this message and let me know what it means. "Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer. Please confirm following elevation request to remove orphan password Bank support.

    Hello!

    It seems a similar problem has been reported in the past, already, for example here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954186

    Chances are that you have advanced security software on your computer that you're not using (banking password), which can eventually be removed from your computer (because it seems that you do not use).

    I would suggest finding the control panel for your computer and removing Bank of your system password, if you know how to do this.

  • After that uninstall of Firefox "No. Squint" zoom is not registered

    I uninstalled "No. Squint" when I found that it doesn't work as I wanted.
    Now Firefox (v.21) remembered more zoom levels of the pages I visit after that FF is closed and reopened.

    "No. Squint" uninstall asked if I wanted to restore the functionality of zoom FF - to which I replied YES.

    After uninstalling, I tried Windows RESTORE to return the system to say before "No. Squint" installed, this did not help.

    Tools > Options > privacy > clear history of Firefox closing > settings > Preferences on the Site is NOT defined, so if I understand correctly, level of Zoom of the Site should be maintained. I tried the setting and not disarm or none this effect.

    Safe mode made no difference.

    In the end I got so fed up that I restored all Mozilla Firefox directories from a backup from 2 days old disk image (before No. Squint was installed). Features of Firefox returned ZOOM, ZOOM level for specific sites now preserved.
    This in spite of all THE tools > Options being exactly the same.

    The question - did the No. SQUINT add-on which seems irreversible, even when it is removed?

    Problem solved for now. I'll be more careful before installing add-ons in the future.
    Thanks for your help Cor - el.

  • I recently did something that changed my Firefox to a version focused on Yahoo. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but when I reinstalled it is still Yahoo.

    During the summer, I tried to download a free photo colorization program and I think that, in doing so, I accidentally agreed to Yahoo my default browser. My Mozilla Firefox flaw opens on Yahoo and other Yahoo features. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but it is always default to Yahoo and I noticed that I have more windows pop up after this connection to Yahoo. I just disappeared and redo my popup settings and will try and change my default screen, but I wish I had my old original Firefox without any Yahoo. For example, say my toolbar File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools, Yahoo!, help. I just really want to get rid of the intrusion of Yahoo. On the troubleshooting page I noticed that my Extensions configuration includes the toolbar Yahoo! and RivalGaming, which began to be the provider of many pop ups or independent of opening screens when I click on particular objects or best I wish to see. I want to get rid of both.

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • all the site went "not found HTTP 404 error. The requested resource is not found. "and the"Firefox cannot load Web sites but other programs can"page is not helping

    all the site went "not found HTTP 404 error. The requested resource is not found. "and the"Firefox cannot load Web sites but other programs can"page is not help somehow

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found that my old laptop is very slow during the processing of hundreds of images that I usually take on a weekly basis.  I bought a new faster laptop, but when I looked for the cd with the software of series and I couldn't find in the mess of Christmas.  I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got, it works on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?

    Myron

    If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:

    1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.

    2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.

    3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

    You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.

  • I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Hello! I downloaded a plug-in that slow down Firefox, even after that I removed it. I have reset Firefox, during reset my computer went black. Now, it will not be open. Help!

    I downloaded a plugin (module) of Facebook on my toolbar and it made my whole computer run slowly. I disabled the add-on, removed the toolbar, and everything was always super slow. I went troubleshooting and press reset firefox. It was in the process of resetting, and my screen went black. I thought it was just the screensaver, but after pressing the space bar, screen did not return. I have made a difficult exit on my Mac and restarted my computer. On my desk, there are now a record that says "Old Firefox Data". When I try to open firefox I get a message stating "unable to load your firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. I tried to reinstall firefox, for example, to have the same result. Help!

    The name of the file should not be mozilla-bin, but firefox-bin

  • I get "well, that's embarrassing Firefox ishaving trouble recovering your windows and tabs... every time I start worm." 20.0.

    For these past few days, whenever I open Firefox, I get "well, this is awkward!" Firefox has struggle to recover your windows and tabs. I'm on version 20.0 on an IMac with Mountain Lion. I don't want back windows or tabs. I still have to close everything and leave Firefox when I'm done with it.
    If I choose Select 'Close', then I get an empty stage and not my home page. If I 'restore' I get what is listed, but I don't really want to. I want as my home page. Y at - it a fix for this problem?

    A possible cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

  • Is that a way firefox will store the information of user name for a site without password information?

    some other browsers allow a user name to be automatically filled in and saved so you just enter a password. It seems that Firefox does not have this option. Is that a way firefox will store the information of user name for a site without password information?

    This works! Thank you very much.
