Impossible to delete cookies for individual Web sites
Turn Firefox 29 8.1 on windows 64-bit.
This arose because a particular Web site difficulties to set a cookie (I think) - FF gave the error that the site Web server was redirect the request in a way that could not be completed-, but with a warning that it could be caused by cookies are not allowed. So I tried to delete the cookie for this particular website, but FF seems not to comply. It is removed from the list of cookies in the dialog box and I can close the dialog box, but if I reopen it the cookie it shows always also present. Make a second time does not help.
I then found that this applies only to apply to a particular Web site, it is a Web site that stores a cookie. Cookies are set to be deleted when they expire that I find useful for some site store cookies (I can't find a white list that allows cookies deleted except those on the whitelist, this as opposed to the blacklist that prevent some websites from setting cookies at all).
I tried the following:
(1) open FF in safe mode, but I get the same result (cookie not deleted)
(2) with closed FF rename cookies.sqlite to the road. Then begins with a 'clean' cookie file, I always get the same result (cookie is not deleted).
I can confirm that the cookie is not removed by quickly opening the cookies.sqlite and by searching for the string of the Web site.
I tried to adjust FF cookie 'political' to remove all at the end of the session and that works - but it eliminates also the most useful as well. Someone at - it ideas?
Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

Disabling Javascript for individual Web sites
I've finally isolated the source of unblockable ads that appear on some Web sites, but not others. These ads come from different sources, but many of them are Chitka ads that block a portion of the screen and can not yet be clicked OFF. They block just constantly that you are trying to read or see.
When I disable Java on Firefox, fully - these ads disappear. Unfortunately, many other sites I visit use Java. So I was wondering, ' Why can't we control what websites display Java and those who do not - as well as the blocking of pop-up windows from certain Web sites and allowing them from others?
The only work around I have found, is to open TWO browsers: Firefox with Java disabled to view sites that have annoying ads and Internet Explorer with Java enabled to view sites that require Java and have no annoying popups.
Am I the only one having this problem?
The NoScript extension is great, but you must be committed to the principle of minimal script because sites increasingly expect access to several areas. In other words, you don't just approve facebook.com, but several other areas, including their areas of content distribution network. And there is no way for the extension to inform you in advance which ones is critical functions, those that are just ads, etc.. So you can end up reloading the page several times until you get exactly the way you like it. Of course, if it is a site on which you plan to spend a lot of time, it is worth. As I say to my colleagues, "what ads?

How to delete user names registered for a Web site if it does not have an associated password?
I accidentally typed in part of a password when you enter a user name for a Web site.
How can I delete this registered user name? I tried to delete cookies from the Web site, but it does not work. I tried looking through saved passwords, but it doesn't work either, since there is no actual password associated with the username.Was probably saved as a data form - see this:

I delete cookies for a particular site, "Sportsbet", by selecting each item in the drop-down list (see attachment), close the page witnesses and then go the site and the connection, and then close the site and return to the page of cookies, and the site I removed with the drop-down list even is back in it. Could advise you please?
Most sites send cookies when the first query and then be updated after the connection. If understand your scenario, you checked the cookies after you have returned to the site, and it would be logical to see the cookies in the list after that. At least you said Firefox NOT accept cookies from this site, but then you probably could not connect successfully.

I updated Adobe Muse and now impossible to find one of my Web site files... Help!
Hello
Update of the muse do not delete (.muse) Web site files, I guess somehow open recent list does not appear.
I'm sure if you go to the place where your files are saved, you will be able to find them. In case you don't remember not the location and then search for the file with the extension .muse, search in windows Explorer (for windows) or the Finder, Spot (for MAC)
Double click on the file will open in Muse.
Kind regards

Cannot create a shortcut on the desktop for a Web site in the browser Firefox Tor
I am a user of Tor Browser, and I love the interface of Firefox. According to my page, my Firefox browser is up-to-date. But for some reason I can't save shortcuts to office for a Web site. Whenever I drag the icon beside a Web site (variously a glob, a green bolt and other icons), I get a mouse icon of denial no matter where I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This happens even when I drag the bookmarks of my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in Tor allowing no shortcuts settings. Any suggestions on where the parameters of the shortcuts are in Firefox?
Fred, all other modules worked well. I contacted the people of Tor, and they were unsure of what's going on. I've pasted their response below, but the short answer is that they have me just save shortcuts manually from the office whenever the Tor Button is active. Thanks for your help, you've been great!

Drag events filtering and blocking the external applicationExternal applications can be induced to load files that perform network
activity. Unfortunately, there are cases where these applications can be launched
automatically with little or no user intervention. To avoid this,
Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup when
the browser is trying to launch a helper application.In addition, modern desktop computers now preemptively look for all URLS in drag
and events move as soon as the drag is initiated. This download happens

something as simple as holding the mouse button for a little too

I can't load up a book cover of my images for a web site request form
I can't load up a book cover of my images for a web site request form. Is there a method to do this?
Hello
This can depend on the configuration of the web site form. If can accept only text, may have a limit on the maximum characters lol, etc. Some Web site forms do not accept entries stuck, just live by typing.
I suggest you contact the website for advice.

IAM trying to Download THE High Encryption Pack for a web site that requires a 128-bit security. I am running ie8.
In IE 8, click Help > a way Internet Explorer. It should say "strength of encryption: 128-bit." In other words, you already have 128-bit security. These high encryption Packs were for older versions of IE.
Windows XP does not include the necessary cryptographic providers for the 256-bit encryption level. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are supported 256-bit encryption level.
