How to prevent the creation of a profile whenever I open it with Firefox

I'm on a Mac on Mountain Lion 30.0 Firefox running. Whenever I open the browser, it acts as if it opens for the first time and records nothing of earlier uses - bookmarks, preferences, etc. In troubleshooting, I noticed that it creates a whole new profile, so that my profiles folder ends with dozens of new profiles.

I've searched quite exhaustive and tried other suggestions, including reset Firefox, do a clean install, etc., but nothing works. Prefs.js is not locked. I suspect there is a current permissions Mac or similar problem. I'm not under any antivirus software. I don't have this problem with other software.

Any ideas on how to approach this on a Mac?

Thank you.

This only happens if Firefox is not able to create or update the file profiles.ini a reason any.

  • How to prevent the creation of 15000 files for 300 MB each day Firefox

    Firefox creates files of 'file' in C:\Users\LeRicain\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dnm04rk5.default\cache2
    There are about 10,000 and 20,000 files I have to remove to get about 300 MB of space each day

    How to prevent the creation of these files in Firefox

    Here are the files from cache. Basically, it takes Web sites that access you a lot and records bits of them so they'll load faster the next time you visit them. FOR EXAMPLE if you visit Google.com much, Firefox will save some elements of this page in the cache so that the next time visit you Google.com, it will not have to re - download.

  • How to prevent the creation of edge to quit with two fingers gesture in iBooks author

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with the creations of edge I put in iBooks author as Html Widget: Html widget open on iPad, if I type with two fingers on the screen and I get in, the Widget stops and goes back to the page of the iBook. This is the default behavior.

    But what happens if I want to change this beheaviour?

    I tried these solutions:

    document.addEventListener ('gesturechange', function (e) {e.preventDefault ()}; false);

    document.addEventListener ('gesturestart', function (e) {e.preventDefault ()}; false);

    document.addEventListener ('gestureend', function (e) {e.preventDefault ()}; false);

    document.addEventListener ('touchmove', function (e) {e.preventDefault ()}; false);

    at the top of main html file and stage-> Composition close to the edge.

    I also tried, at the ready stage-> Composition of the edge.

    $(document) .bind ("gesturestart", Function {}

    e.preventDefault)

    }

    )

    but it does not work.

    Any clue?

  • How to stop the side toolbar to appear whenever I open a pdf file in Acrobat DC?

    Toolbar on the right is annoying in Acrobat DC. How can this be repaired?

    Hello

    The new "hand right toolbar" in Acrobat DC is always enabled by default, proving an instant access to frequently used tools. That said, we are certainly heard a number of customers who want Acrobat DC 'remember' the last State. So if you close it, it will stay closed when you open it then.   You want to have a fix in place in the coming months ~ 3 here.

  • Why make more empty, localstore.rdf and perf.js files appear in my profile whenever I open and close Firefox?

    I have hundreds of empty localstore {xxx} RDF and perf {xxx} .js files in my profile folder. Where {xxx} refers to a number. New higher numbered files appear each time that I open/close firefox. He ate two files pref (perf.js and perf1.js) that are not empty. There is a single localstore.rdf file that is not empty. All other files are the zero-byte files.

    Also, my toolbar customizations won't stay put. I re - customize the toolbar on a regular basis. Erase all files localstore and perf in the case of a corrupted file does not help.

    This suggests that something prevents Firefox to edit these files. This happens usually when anti-virus software keeps a lock on the file.

    LocalStore.RDF is the file that keeps your toolbar customizations. Since Firefox can not change it, your toolbar customizations are lost.

    A less likely cause is a read-only attribute or permissions problem.

  • PDM-files: is it possible to prevent the creation of files .tdms_index of LabVIEW and tiara?

    Hello

    is it possible to prevent the creation of .tdms_index files when opening/creating/editing of LabVIEW and tiara a .tdms file?

    I think that I have no advantage in the .tdms_index files, because our applications create many small .tdms-files (repeated measures). With .tdms_index files, we have unnecessary memory consumption and it takes longer for Windows Open the containing folder. Also it s confused when you search for a certain file.

    Best regards

    Daniel

    Hi Acer,

    I'm afraid there is a direct way to disable the creation of file .tdms_index now of LabVIEW and tiara. You can use the API Advacend TDMS in LabVIEW, which does not create an index file, or you can just do a simple programming and remove the .tdms_index file after closing the PDM file.

    This is a request for a long time, we will consider adding this feature for TDMS in future versions.

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want.

    Hello

    If your contact is logged on as administrator, then he or she can create a new user account. If you don't want someone else to create a new user account, you can then create a standard account for them, in this way, they will not have the privilege to create a new user account.

    Create a user account

    If you don't want to give them access to the internet, then you can use the parental control.

  • How to prevent the OSB 11g to change original prefixes xmlns?

    Hello


    Could someone tell me how to prevent the modification of the xml namespace that I have carefully specified in the WSDL and XSD OSB file?

    By example, if I deploy wsdl file beginning with

    <soap:definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> ...

    Then I get to the BSO for the same wsdl wsdl file is something like

    <WL5G3N0:definitions xmlns:WL5G3N0="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>


    He renames "SOAP" to "WL5G3N0".  This name change similar to most of the other namespace in the WSDL and XSD files xml prefixes.  This OSB causing to use for a purpose limited in our environment.  We simply turn this renaming feature off (or find different technologies of accommodation... ).


    So I hope it's possible to disable and someone knows how, in the community of Oracle users.  Could someone tell me if it is possible and how to disable the prefix renaming in OSB?


    Thank you

    or at least there is no known way to get that off, right?

    I'm not an employee of the Oracle, so I can't say with 100% confidence. I don't know a way, and I'm sure that the path does not exist.

    thinking of using 'engine for stateful service' Oracle SOA for this is very bad...

    It's not so bad. If you do not service calls in the Middle, then BPEL is not to dehydrate State, making it more or less stateless.

    DataContractSerializer seems to be picky and all pending schema corresponding to certain prefix text

    It's weird, but the code generators are a common source of bugs in SOA :-)

    Good luck!
