• How can I get rid of persistent Imgur prefs in topic: config?

  Over the past months, I have had the Imgur.com site host a few images (uploaded from my hard drive) for me so that I could put links to them in some messages I posted to usenet.

  Please note two things:
  1. I have never had the Imgur Uploader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader/) extension installed, ever.
  2. I always clean my cookies when I quit Firefox.

  This morning, looking around: config, I noticed the following two preferences:

  devtools.gcli.imgurUploadURL (the value https://api.imgur.com/3/image)
  devtools.gcli.imgurClientID (the value to a unique identifier that I post here)

  WHAT. THE. DEVIL?

  I closed Firefox, waited a while and then opens the my profile folder prefs.js in a text editor. I then manually deleted the two parameters of this file and saved it. When I started Firefox upward and checked if the two parameters were right where they had been in all: config and with the original values. I went up to try twice, with the same result both times.

  Then, with Firefox running, I deleted the values of these two prefs in topic: config, then stop and restart Firefox. Values have remained deleted, but the prefs are always listed in everything: config. So I tried right click on preferences and selecting "Reset" on two of them. Only, which restores the values and does not delete the preferences.

  Does anyone know how these two prefs put in my file prefs.js in the first place and why they keep coming back?

  Mozilla has some sort of arrangement with this Web site or am I infected with some kind of malware that I picked up on the site Web of Imgur?

  It is possible for a Web site change my prefs.js file and store information in this location, then cookies are the least of my worries!

  After reading this bug:

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992386

  I found this:

  https://groups.Google.com/Forum/?fromgroups#! Imgur/AJcTXtiOMPk/topic

  In the second link, Christian Heilmann described how two preferences are used in the devtools:
  _______________________________________________________________________
  The story is this: Firefox development tools have a great feature when you press SHIFT + F2 you get a command line to do all sorts of things with the browser. One of them is 'screenshot', which takes a screenshot of the page. "screenshot - fullpage" scroll the entire page for you and takes a picture of him. Now I was proposing to offer a flag - imgur to automatically download the screenshot on imgur using the API but with 400 million users, we will hit the limits quickly enough.
  _______________________________________________________________________

  So if you have a page to scroll through to display everything, you can use this tool to make an image of it without having to take screenshots of portions and then photomerge all together. Then a developer can store the image on Imgur and have a link to the image is displayed with other developers.

  Now I understand what is happening and I think I'll just let the prefs only. OTOH, since I'm not a developer, removing their values have no effect on anything.

  Please consider this topic resolved and thanks anyway.

• Strange problem with navigation (MBA13, Yosemite)

  Hello!

  I got a MacBook Air13 (always on Yosemite 10.10.5) since almost a year and it was just fine until recently he started to do strange things with my Internet.

  First he started having problems with the speed but that has been done because of the crappy router. But now it opens only some pages (and it actually decently fast) such as Facebook, YouTube, Apple, and all Google services (and oddly enough my page of the University Library, so I crossed out of the conspiracy theory) but it just goes no further. It doesn't matter if I use Firefox or Safari.

  I tried to play with DNS and locations, clear cookies, thus freeing up space and all the usual stuff. Also checked the Internet connection, but that's fine. And I don't see anything that I did different than usual...

  Maybe someone has an idea what is the problem?

• Internet the in slow motion - computer runs very slow when you use any program / application that uses the Internet

  I have Windows Vista 32-bit 2.4Ghs HP M91501, I had to reformat due to the error of hard disk. After formatting the PC, I went online to play or surf the internet is slow. I move fast and Lupe moves. I tried to highlight something and it takes up to 20 seconds before it highlites the message.  When I try to play Call of duty online I play in slow motion. Called Charter they did a speed test shows speed 11 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbps of download speed. All the solutions to this important really appriciated your feed back...

  I hope that Super Antispyware has given you the opportunity to remove those things. Since your initial Malware scan came clean, it is likely that located SuperAntispyware cookies only track, which are odious, but generally not a threat from System.

  It is possible that you have apps which unknown to you, that run automatically in the background whenever you start your program. It is good to check if they are legitimate and necessary to launch when you start your PC.

  Start button, click on you. In the run box, type: msconfig.exe

  A System Configuration tool runs. Go to the Startup tab. You will find a list of applications that are set to run every time your PC starts. If you recognize all of them, use Google to help identify their purpose. Many times, you can open the application that is in question and prevent the application from starting. For example, on my system, I see that Java runs once more a verification tool to update each time you start. In this case, I can set my preferences Java Panel, select Java and uncheck automatically search for updates.

  I also use OpenOffice and it wants to run a startup of service to reduce the time that openoffice requires to open. I don't really want something constantly running in the background to save me a few seconds to open the application. Then I go to Google to find out where the switch is to disable this "feature".

  If you have unwanted applications running in the background, it is best to either uninstall, our to disable the option that allows them to run at startup. Although you could definitely "uncheck" the application through msconfig.exe, it is essentially a tool of troubleshoouting and not intended for the struggle of the apps (even if you do).

  You can always uncheck/check again on this list to see their impact when you then restart your PC.

  Once you have verified that apps that are set to start, you can run Windows Task Manager and scroll elements in the process and Services tabs to see what is running. The Services tab can be pretty intimidating to investigate on (there is a lot of misinformation the ' net), so if you are unsure about the services listed, it is best to ask or to jump on this area.

• Firefox has my bad location - how to fix this?

  Firefox thinks I am located in Poland (I'm actually in the United Kingdom) and share this information with other sites, so all the ads I see for example. on Youtube are in Polish, and when I type a search in the search bar, I'm redirected to google.pl. This has happened for a few days now, but I've been using Firefox on this computer for years.

  I just checked and my address location host IP is in the United Kingdom.

  I have not consulted all Polish sites, and even if I had I clear Cookies first thing whenever I connect to the computer, and that did not solve the problem.

  I do not have any proxy or VPN installed.

  My language is defined as English (United Kingdom) in Firefox and Google communities.

  I tried clicking "update location" in Google, but it is really sure that I am in Warsaw.

  I know it sounds trivial, but it is so boring! I wonder how a) to fix and b) is this a sign of a more serious problem?

  Please make sure that the location of your router is configured correctly. Please refer to the manual of your router or your internet service provider for more details on this operation.

  Whenever something like this happens, it's always a good idea to check for malware or other malicious content on your system. 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
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

• How can I change the location, FireFox allows websites?

  I live in NY inMargaretville
  Kazeo.com gives me the weather forecast for Andes NY.
  I get ads for insurance for people in New York Andes
  Home Depot and Lowes both confide a store closer to the Andes than Margaretville.
  The only common link between these sites is FireFox.

  Web sites usually "locate" you based on your IP address computer, which is usually assigned by your service provider. Here are a few sites that show the location associated with your current IP address:

  • https://www.iplocation.NET/find-IP-address
  • http://whatismyipaddress.com/

  If those who do not match your ISP, there are a few ways that your IP address may vary from the one assigned by your ISP, if you are using a private VPN, Tor or a service like Hola to route your connection via the network or someone else's computer.

  Sites often give better results if you give them your zip code, which can then be stored in a cookie for future visits, but not all sites want to wait and request information before guess your location.

• Cookies from Firefox make my computer freezes & 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

• Report all existing browser cookies

  I would like the list/report (in readable format), all witnesses residing on my PC Win XP, including the browser (s) applicable for each. Ideally, I would like to start such an application to report since the CMD Win line and save the results in a file with a timestamp embedded in the file name.

  Similarly, I would like to scan for & cookies all backup files on my PC at a specified location and time stamped file and have an app to open these files from backup of cookie in a readable way.

  I know that I can SEE the cookies from various applications, but it's tedious or impossible to back up and restore cookies for a site given (as opposed to a whole cookie file).
  And it's easy to make a mistake when cleaning cookies, deleting something good and bad.

  If any tool to backup/report/research/retrieve cookie would contribute to any recovery process.
  My search on the internet for such a tool will return no results there.

  Similar functions exist for bookmarks.
  I would find such a tool for Cookies.

• How to keep certain cookies are removed from the closing of Firefox

  Hello

  I wonder how to keep cookies some website when Firefox is closed, for example, I've spent some time on www.kongregate.com with that is a flash games site and you may suspect that I like to keep my progress of these games, for future visits, however, whenever I close Firefox it automatically deletes the files of "C:\Users\ < I > \AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash #SharedObjects\ #------assets.kongregate.com------." that file saved kongregate games and I want to keep that, anyway, I'll post a list of my privacy settings to help you help me achieve what I write here everything as 'ON' mean that the box has check and 'OFF' that is not:

  Follow-up:

  -Say the sites that I don't want to be tracked - SUITE

  History:

  -Conservation rules: use the custom settings for history

  -Always use private browsing - OFF mode

  N ' forget not my browsing and download history - OFF

  N ' forget to search and form history - OFF

  -Accept cookies - SUITE (I added www.kongregate.com as *www.kongregate.com* to the list of exceptions with the option 'Allow')

  -Accept third party cookies - SUITE

  -Keep until: I close Firefox

  -Clear history when Firefox closes - SUITE

  Address bar:

  -When using the location bar, suggest: nothing

  Options for 'clear history of Firefox closing. "

  When I quit Firefox, it must automatically clear all:

  History:

  -L' browsing history - SUITE

  -Download history - SUITE

  -Form & Search History - SUITE

  -Cookies - On (typo corrected)

  -Active connections - OFF

  -Cache - SUITE

  Data:

  -Passwords - saved offshore

  -OFF site preferences-

  -DownThemAll! History & queue - OFF (not that matters of it)

  -Data from the offline Web site - OFF

  Here's my current settings which I think should allow me to keep the cookies from kongregate while other cookies are deleted, but if this isn't the case, please tell me which options should be set at what to me keep cookies of kongregate, if it is not possible to have that then please suggest me a few extensions that would allow me to keep the cookies to kongregate when deleting others.

  Thanks in advance!

  I don't know why you wrote above: Cookies - OFF If you were clear cookies.
  Clear cookies that also erase cookies (including Flash local storage), so I have say that if cookies have been included in this list.

  Hihi

  [Link Spam deleted by the moderator. Please read the guidelines and rules of the Forum, thank you.]

  Google sets several cookies, however, if you delete and you are not signed in, then you get results for your browser, language, geographic location, etc. and not for you personally.

  Google has a tool that shows you where your page comes up in a search? I remember seeing some thing like that in the webmaster tools some time ago, at least I think that's where he was, or perhaps analytical.
