• Delete Cookies from security?

  I am trying to access my account online utility provider but it comes back with an error number and when I used the online support I was told that the "reference number indicates your security cookies should be removed. I said thanks and I'll try it, but then realized I don't really know what that means!

  Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.

  "Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

  'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

  • Firefox > Preferences > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

  If the deletion of cookies did not help, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies has been corrupted.

  • Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and if present remove cookies.sqlite - shm and cookies.sqlite - wal in the Firefox profile folder in the cookies.sqlite case has been corrupted.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

• Site does not load unless I have delete cookies from the site. New behavior.

  Most every day I connect to Schwab.com. From a week ago, the login page does not load. I get only a blank page. It works if I clear the cookies from schwab. So does not work the next time. He is fine in Internet Explorer. Very inconvenient. Any ideas why this has started to happen? I can fix it or Mozilla or end of Schwab?

  Thanks for the ideas.

  My Firefox is just there is an update and the problem with the Schwab page disappeared. I think that all changed two updates there was amended to take account of the situation. I know that Schwab was looking into it, it is also possible that they have changed something in their homepage. Anyway, problem solved!

  Thanks to those who responded. I read each response carefully and liked to learn other points of view of the system. Thank you.

• Impossible to delete cookies.

  I click on delete all. They seem to go away. then I left the program, open again and back. Looks like a lot are the rejected.

  How can I remove them?

  Tools > clear recent history does not work.

  Many Web sites do put cookies in Firefox, so if you delete them, then visit those sites again once, you will have more.

  So when you are in clear recent history, time range set to 'All' and then delete cookies, what does not work? Have you tried to start Firefox in Safe Mode?

• How to delete cookies from all the ' Do not Track ' placed in Firefox after I have uncheck "Do not Track" when they are all keep reappear after being deleted?

  I first checked 'Do not track' blindly that it would work. I am running FF 14.0.1. I do not accept 3rd party cookies. I demand to be informed whenever a cookie wants to access. Before that, I would normally check my cookie list to remove those that don't want to keep, after I closed the related tab. However, after checking the option, a multitude of cookies "do not follow" arose. They block my table. I spend too much time track the unwanted cookies. In addition, after unchecking the option, all those ' Do not track ' cookies remain unwanted. No mater what I do to remove them, even to excess 'Remove all Cookies', none of them stay deleted. Even if I have to 'Remove all Cookies' and immediately close FF, they ALL back when I restart FF again, even after the total shutdown of PC.

  The choice of the '-non-piste ' will that make Firefox sends a header HTTP specific (TSD = 1) on a web server and there is no definition of cookies.

  • Tools > Options > privacy > Tracking: "say I won't be the subject of a follow-up of web sites.
  • http://BrowserSpy.dk/donottrack.php

  This is the server to do something with this request.

  If you receive permanent cookies, which cannot be removed, then it is likely that you have installed an extension.

• 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.

• I want to delete cookies from sites variousTravel.

  Try to book tours and sites to the top of their price whenever I visit. I think they know that I'm looking book, kind of 'Look at me' How do I get rid of their cookies without losing my history/bookmarks and passwords?

  I'm assuming that you use Internet Explorer as your web browser...

• Impossible to delete file from office

  Using Vista Ultimate SP2, I have a file that I downloaded from an FTP site customers who have not completed the download.  Now I can't delete it.  If I just right click on the desktop and select Remove, or more, it gives me the "time remaining: calculating...» "window with no real results.  I can't right click to rename, I get "Windows Explorer is not responding".  Do a right click to check properties does nothing.

  I have administrator rights, I seem to have my office (but can not say on the specific folder).  I rebooted to safemode, tried to confirm if I have property, del tried the command line - nothing.

  Try to delete this file by using the software and the workarounds in my http://blogs.dotnethell.it/vincent/Tip-elimina-i-file-ineliminabili__1191.aspx Blog post (please ignore the Italian language in this post).

• Impossible to delete file from LR, requires the password from the Mac OS finder

  I have an old power Mac OSX 10.5.8 running. I store all my images under the same folder on the same hard drive. For some reason any and this has never happened before, always worked normally prior to that, I don't know why the images cannot be deleted and moved to the trash in LR. At the level of the finder, these files every need I type my password (Finder requires that you type your password). This has never happened before, I tried a stop down and re - start cold, but the behavior persists. Images are not locked and everything seems normal, but not normal behavior. I realize this isn't a problem with Lightroom, but I need to delete from Lightroom, because is where I can see the images better while choosing those that can be deleted. Has anyone seen this behavior before Mac? No matter what patch you know?

  Thank you

  Ken

  His is as the files do not have the correct permissions. Because they are on an external drive, you could select the drive icon, bring up the info (Cmd + i) window and check the box "ignore ownership on this volume".

  What to do with all my internal/external additional disks by default. It is usually no problem, except if you need to prevent other users to access the files.

• Cookies from Firefox make my computer freezes &amp; must be reseeded

  Firefox no longer works on my machine (Windows 8.1), he opened in tabs I used last, but there is no picture displayed and the computer froze, making it necessary to restart by pressing the button. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't make any difference, so I uninstalled and just started using Chrome (no problem). When optimizing my computer using CC Cleaner, he stopped trying to erase the "Firefox Cookies", also freeze my computer everything and makes it necessary to restart by pressing the off button. I tried to reboot in safe mode, but the same things happen. Please tell us how to locate and delete cookies from Firefox. Thank you

  It might be simpler to delete all cookies from Firefox completely by removing the data file which is the holder. Firefox will make a new.

  Wouldn't it be better if you actually need save one of these cookies, but it sounds as if you want to clean them all.

  If you have Firefox:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window showing the various folders and files.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning can remove cookies.sqlite

  If you do not have Firefox:

  Copy the following text and paste it into the search box in Windows, or the Run dialog box (available on the start page of Windows 8.1 lower with all the small icons) or in a window of Windows Explorer address bar and press ENTER:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  You can have a folder named semi randomly here, or you might have several records. In the case of multiple, repeat the operation if necessary.

  Click on the folder and delete the cookies.sqlite

• No cookie name appear when I press the button 'Show Cookies', which would prevent me from manually delete cookies selectively.

  When I open the Cookies window by pressing the 'View the Cookies' button in Options | Privacy the secondary window displays no name cookie just a series of arrows as for different subdirectories. This has been so for several months, but I have changed no cookie setting and have the "accept Cookies from sites' and 'Accept third-party cookies' checkboxes are checked.
  This means that I can't manually control/delete cookies.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

• I can't delete cookies with this version of foxfire. I see not the button Delete. How to remove cookies?

  I was always able to delete cookies in Firefox. With the latest version, I don't see a delete button or move the slider to display a button Delete. How to delete cookies without a button actually remove visible?

  How do you remove usually cookies? In the Firefox Cookies dialog box, there are two buttons at the bottom: all delete and delete the selection. If you're used to a button Delete, it could be that you used an add-on to delete cookies.

  You can access the dialog box Cookies for the current site using the Page Info dialog box. Either:

  • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
  • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

  In the dialog that opens, the site current is automatically entered in the top search box, so you can delete cookies from the site individually. If you want to see all THE cookies, you can disable this dialog.

  Does it work?

• 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.
