I never save passwords and since the new update of Firefox, all my passwords are saved. I tried to see if they were saved by accident under options/security, but they were not and have no idea how to do for their removal.
Details such as websites to remember you (automatically log you) are stored in a cookie.
You can delete the cookies on the Web site to make the Web site to forget you.You're automatically reopen tabs and windows of the previous session by session restore?
- Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
Firefox stores cookies used in the tabs that are currently open in the file sessionstore.js as part of the saved session data, so these cookies will be restored if Firefox is closed without first closing of these tabs.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (not HTTPS) on the topic: config page to deactivate the saving of cookies via session restore in the sessionstore.js file.

Please can someone help ive got firefox 11.0 installed and everytime I open the browser, it says looking for the addon compatibility, can I do to stop this cheers.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

At work, my photoshop CS6 is printing so slow, it takes up to 1 minute to produce printing. We have a printer Canon Imagepress C700. What can be the problem? Help please, anyone!
Tells us that the problem is in the printer itself or the printer driver - because Photoshop and InDesign do not share any code to print (they don't use even the same APIs to print).

When Firefox update 8.0.1 a toolbar in the toolbar items appeared. I can't access the items and I can't get rid of the toolbar. It's big and boring. How can I get rid of him.
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themesWhen find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

I use Firefox as my browser, and usually, it opens with google as homepage, and searches are via google. It suddenly started opening on yahoo and also use it as a search engine. I suspect that it happened when I downloaded the update for C Cleaner, which I think has a box should I have unchecked. I seem to have found the home page BUT a new tab always opens in yahoo and research go immediately to yahoo. I clicked the tag options (in the dropdown at the top of the box on the right) and went through all this several times, but it keeps going back to yahoo. Please can someone tell me how to get rid of it.
Hi, try this: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.url and see what the exact URL is set to in 'Value', which may give a clue as to origin. There are on: newtab which you can modify, right-click > edit, but it will most likely get changed by everything it touches. - Editor of Configuration of Firefox.
If you still can't find it, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner

address bar has the little arrow that displays a list of various web sites when I click on it. I don't know where they come from or how to remove, have you tried various. This isn't the menu background. It seems no rhyme or reason to what is on this list, some recent, but older or don't remember even being on the site. Some are sensitive that I don't want not preserved, such as the Web-site of the Bank.
