I discovered two cookies from Yahoo, named B and AO. They cannot be removed by normal means. How can I get rid of them?
I use Firefox 10.0.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. I discovered this problem when deleting cookies from Yahoo in response to an announcement on the Yahoo site that was tapping into my position, even if I was not connected to Yahoo. All the other cookies for Yahoo, I was able to remove via Firefox preferences except for the above two. I would appreciate any information available as to what these cookies are for and how Yahoo could prevent me to delete.
Of course, the cookies.sqlite file has been altered as trying to delete all cookies from the Tools menu doesn't lead to a possible script error asking me if I wanted to leave the script running or not. I then deleted cookies.sqlite with the only other files cookie, that I could see, cookies.sqlite - shm and cookies.sqlite - wa.
After you exit and restart Firefox, Yahoo's two persistent cookies were gone. Thank you.

I have a lot of old e-mail files I try to delete, but they remain in the file from the Recycle Bin of 2009. How can I get rid of them?
If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.
If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

When I save a document in pdf format, Adobe pdf displays the numbers of pages down which I didn't have in my original document footers. This happens when recording the word or Pages of Mac. Is it possible to get rid of them?
It depends on. With the player, you can not. Adobe Reader is simply to show you the pdf as it was created.
It seems that you use Mac? If so, you can use the pdf generator Mac so should ask in the Mac forums.

How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.
A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
cbrsarahChange the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
