How can I change the location, FireFox allows websites?

I live in NY inMargaretville
Kazeo.com gives me the weather forecast for Andes NY.
I get ads for insurance for people in New York Andes
Home Depot and Lowes both confide a store closer to the Andes than Margaretville.
The only common link between these sites is FireFox.

Web sites usually "locate" you based on your IP address computer, which is usually assigned by your service provider. Here are a few sites that show the location associated with your current IP address:

If those who do not match your ISP, there are a few ways that your IP address may vary from the one assigned by your ISP, if you are using a private VPN, Tor or a service like Hola to route your connection via the network or someone else's computer.

Sites often give better results if you give them your zip code, which can then be stored in a cookie for future visits, but not all sites want to wait and request information before guess your location.

  • How can I change the location of the files? (buffers, history)

    I want to change the location of my history and my SSD to a flashdisk buffers. [Reason: to overcome the wear and back on my SSD.] How can I do this?
    Open question: what other locations of files (paths) I should change?

    You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history of Firefox closing" to clear the Cache.

    You can check that on the topic: cache page (entry of the disk cache is missing).

    History and bookmarks are stored in the same file and cannot be separated.

    You'd have to move the complete record of the Firefox profile to this other player or use the private browsing mode.

    It's probably a good idea to regularly make backups of valuable profile in case of disk failure data.

    Flash drives also do not last forever and are also generally slower.

  • How can I change the setting to allow unsecure or encrypted information be seen?

    When I go to one of the sites for my school online, certain information is not displayed. I guess that's because it contains some unsecured links or something. I need to be able to see this information. There is no warning or anything, it automatically blocks the information. How can I change this?

    If the content is missing or otherwise does not when a secure connection https is used then check if there is a shield icon to the left of the "Site Identity" (globe/lock) key on the location indicating that the content has been blocked.

    You can set this pref to false on the topic: config page to disable this feature.

  • How can I change the location of default bookmark in the menu bookmarks to the bookmarks bar?

    The question already exactly described my problem.

    Whenever I have bookmark on a page, the default location is the value Menu bookmarks in the folder.

    However, I would like to change that to the bookmarks toolbar. How can I do?

    Thank you!

    Are you aware that you can easily add a new bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar by dragging the tab Web site icon in the bookmarks toolbar?

    Click ' drag is faster than to play with the system "save a new bookmark. BTW, it is not preferably built-in to Firefox to do what you ask about.

  • How can I change the location of the cache?

    I just installed the new version of Firefox 4.0 beta 5. I was using Firefox 3.6.9 previously.

    In Firefox 4 beta, I can't find the menu item to change the cache location. This feature has been removed, or simply moved to a few other menus?

    Specifically, I need to change the default cache C:\Users\{username}\... location to another drive. This is something usually, people do if they want to reduce fragmentation on their drive system.

    How can I specify a different location for the cache?

    There has never been a Menu item or UI pref in Firefox to move the Cache, it has always been a hidden preference.

    I always want to Firefox in order to offer a location when I download stuff. At the time where he fills the location of the file save slot with a situation that I never use, and it's the same every time and I don't know how to prevent it. How can I teach Firefox to populate the location save money with another location in the file, for example Desktop?

    Although everyone automatically assumes that it is.

  • How can I change the 39 firefox tabs so that they do not mix in the background so ALL tabs will be visible/colorful?

    Hello:

    Previously, I had firefox 38 and was using an older version of the classic theme restaurateur v1.2.9.6 and I have no problem see the tabs colorful.

    Unfortunately, given that the upgrade to firefox 39 and classic theme restaurateur v1.3.5 only colorful tab is the active tab that you currently can within (we) work, the other tab to blend into the background of persona. I know some people probably like how the inactive tabs blend into the background... I'm NOT one of those people.

    It is quite difficult to see the tabs 'because' they mix in the background a little too well. Is there a way to change things so that ALL tabs even inactive tabs that I do not work on/with will be visible and visible by colorful instead of melt in some context of the persona shows at some point I mean?

    Thank you.

    I wonder if this has been changed to avoid disrupting the use of light/personas themes? I don't see anything obvious in the release notes history: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/

    I think it's something that would go more to the author of the classic theme restaurateur. Support seems to be a very long thread here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48 & t = 2827985

  • How can I change the location of the bookmarks toolbar?

    In the new version of Firefox, the bookmarks bar is located in the upper part of the Web pages and covers buttons and links on the pages. It always gets in the way and I have to hide it for log in or out of the sites. It's annoying because I constantly have to move forward and backward between the display and hiding of the toolbar. Can it be placed above the tabs or the bottom of the page or anywhere, but in all of the current Web page?

    The bookmarks toolbar should not interfere with the page at all. It seems you have to many addons including at least another toolbar. It might be that one of those that is causing the problem.

    A quick way to see if one of these other toolbars would be to start Firefox in Mode safe and see if the problem goes away - questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode .

  • How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?

    Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer.  Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows.  Please can someone explain how to do this?

    Hi Derek,.

    Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

    You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).

    The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.

    What fixit have you tried?

    To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

    After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.

    Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors

     

    See the site:

    Check your hard drive for errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

     

    Method 2: Clean boot

     

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the mentioned site:

    How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

     

     

  • How can I change the location of download program?

    Once I downloaded something, but he said he did not know what program to record.  I thought that it did not matter so I clicked on the painting.  I have problems with it.  Please tell me how to change it.

    What kind of file is it?  The association between a file and the program used to open, it is based on the file type.  For example, something.doc is a document file and would normally open in a program such as WordPad.  While something.bmp is a bitmap image and would normally open in a program like a painting.

    You can change it by right clicking and choosing 'Open with', for example, if you want to open the picture using a different image like Photoshop instead of paint software.
