Mini Mac OS 10.8.5 - all settings, modules, etc. completely disappear to reopen after closing firefox (seems completely reset)

I tried as much as I could find to fix - firefox is not set to reset the story with each new reboot, and I was by the audit of the my file is not locked in the profiles. I do not have a lot of folders and files - prefs is this normal to have several of them. At one point I tried to remove all except one of them because I read here that it would be creating a new file automatically. He did, I checked that it was unlocked, but still, at each closing Firefox, everything gets reset as if I just download the program. Any ideas?

Using the latest Firefox for my os on a mac (just deleted the old and downloaded it again today).

Thank you

Try to remove the file profiles.ini (i.e. move the folder to the trash).

You can also delete all the folder in the profiles folder that Firefox was created because he wasn't able to safety profile for the file profiles.ini file.

  • Despite the settings and modules, the cookies are still saved after closing Firefox.

    I have installed Firefox to delete all cookies, the closing of Firefox. This does not work, but I read that this is normal (although there is absolutely no point in having this option, if it does not do what it says). So after reading the forums, I tried several other things. I have installed DoNotTrackPlus and BetterPrivacy. I also set browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to '2' and 'false' browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash in: config I've seen in several posts. Finally, I use the internet with private browsing now. Despite all these precautions, AVG continues to pick up what appear to be the same 9 cookies constantly.

    They are all located in... \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies:
    VKE7AOYE.txt:\adtmt.com.b3e33b5f, VKE7AOYE.txt:\adtmt.com.7247c262,

    How can I avoid this? I'm pretty tired of cookies, persistent cookies, cookies, LSO, what you have. What is the point of all these actions, if none of them stop cookies to be permanently saved on my computer? Is it fair to Firefox that has dropped the ball here or other browsers also have these questions? I've been a Firefox since long fan but think about changing after all this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    This location is for IE, Firefox cookies not cookies. Because the modules have a privileged access to your PC, it is possible that one of your modules uses this file. To check if Firefox running with disabled modules prevents the creation of these cookies, now try the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. In the Safe Mode dialog box, do not check the boxes, just click "continue mode without failure." If you can browse and leave without the creation of cookies in the Cookies in Windows folder, then one of your modules is probably the culprit.

  • How to get back all my Add-ons that disappeared since I updated to firefox 13?

    I've updated to FF13 and all my Add-ons disappeared and FF is returned to the default version when restarted the Web site. the disturbing part is that sometimes when I login on my system and click on FF, all my modules and themes reappear and other times when I log into the computer and launch FF, it say - appears again and I came back once more to the default version. This has happened for 2 months now and I'm tired of the situation. recently, I updated to FF 15.0 hoping things would come back normal, but it stops. What can I do to solve this problem and recover my FF custom?

    If you have a backup of the registry, use it. And dump of Registry Mechanic, and
    never use it or any other registry cleaner again.

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
    registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • You can scan my computer before I get the last 10 firefox to see if all my modules etc. will comapatible?

    I'd love to upgrade to Firefox 10 you keep offering, but I want to keep all my extensions and Add ons that I so do not lose any after the update. In addition, why so many version jumps in so little time? It was about 2 years ago, you worm. 4, then recently to 5 then 7 and now 10 something like that. Wow so fast.

  • Mini Mac - exchange of hard disks

    I have two mini Mac - the two 2012.

    Mac mini #1 is i7 2.6 GHz Quad Core - my first desktop computer

    Mac mini #2 is i3 2.3 GHz Dual Core - used as HTPC / Media Server

    #1 has (2) 1 TB disks, which I use a lot less than half (I also have external drives)

    #2 a (1) 512 MB internal drive, which is almost complete

    I plan to (1) move the 1 TB drives from #1 to #2 and move all data (mainly from the iTunes music ALAC and some iMovie video), that would solve the question of space. While they are open I consider also adding an SSD as the diskette of starting to #1, this would improve the startup time, run certain programs a little faster and a 256 MB or 512 MB disk would be inexpensive, that I would win a little more than space for data too. (to be honest, the Mac mini is jealous of the SSD in my MacBook)

    I've increased the RAM to #2, replace a switch of volume on a 3 g iPhone and replaced a screen on an iPad 2, so I'm not afraid of detail work - but only the RAM was easy. I also watched the videos on the replacement of a HD for this model on iFixIt. What is not clear is how much more difficult it is to make the first record as the second. If I move just a reader I wouldn't have to dig in the 1st Bay.

    So, my questions:

    (1) how can I say on the report system which drive is in the Bay, by whom I have which is on top, which is at the bottom? Or can I assume that the startup disk is always on top? (harder to do)

    (2) is the player in the upper Bay of much more difficult to replace?

    (3) I would also examine suggestions for a reliable SSD, but this isn't the substance of my question.

    Thanks for your help...

    Here's a video OWC on how to add a second drive to a Mac mini (same steps for 2011) 2012. I bought their data Doubler kit (and the extra ribbon cable) so that I would have the tools to get the job done right. Seen their detailed video while performing the surgery. I bought a 128 GB OCZ Vertex SSD (now a division of Toshiba and new product name VT180 series) for main and kept startup disk the Apple 512 GB of disk in place. The OCZ Vertex is fast and reliable for fall 2011.

  • Mini Mac waking from sleep. A SOLUTION.

    I had the same problem that everyone has:

    Mini Mac won't sleep, requiring a shutdown and restart.

    I found the cause of my problem. This solution has been tested.

    Your system may differ from mine, but my solution can give you some ideas to try.

    My system: Mac mini (mid-2011), running Lion.

    On March 19, the eve of the day when the problem started, I sent a print job on my printer.

    The next morning (20 March) the problem started and happened again on 21 March.

    Exact symptoms seen: screen switch mode; However energy saving, the computer never goes sleep (front panel LED rest of suite, throughout the night, did not have his usual pattern of sleep slow breathing).

    In particular, the "system.log" file shows the usual "alarm maintenance" wake up every 2 hours. The newspapers just go quiet.

    Impression triggered the problem:

    My printer is a recent model Brother laser printer.

    Since March 19, I had been using Control-P to print documents;

    However, at no time I turn on the printer; my intention was to accumulate my impressions for several days,

    After that, I planned to turn on the printer and do my print and send all at once, for efficiency.

    It helped me: this solved my problem:

    March 21, I was wondering if something in the print queue prevented from sleeping.

    Experimentally, I opened app leader brother printing and deleted the print job in the queue,

    and BINGO, I instantly found the opportunity to sleep and wake my Mac mini.

    Other tests have shown that the problem is reproducible at will. :^)

    On 22 March, I tested the mini to ensure he sleeps and wakes.

    Then I sent a print job to the print queue, leaving the printer off and tried to sleep the computer.

    The problem comes back immediately: the display fell asleep but the computer does not.

    Then I connected ssh via LAN and issued:

    % lpq

    for the number of working the print job, then

    lprm % [jobnumber]

    to clear the print queue of the printer.

    This delete the print job, and the computer went to sleep immediately.

    Moral: They say devices can prevent sleep.

    Well, it shows that a device can prevent sleep without even be turned on!

    Tip: If you * must * stop your mini, first try to connect to the local network via ssh and issue the

    sudo shutdown - hour now

    for a stop more ordered by limiting the risk of data loss.

    PS. usually I can solve any problem of sleep if I ssh in from a different computer and question

    killall % ScreenSaverEngine

    but this does not work in this case.

    This object could be turned into a 'trick' - If you want to.

    Given that it is useful and not directed towards another user in a response.

  • Peuvent mini-Macs communicate-to-peer using bluetooth?

    If so, can I use X 11 to do?  X 11 is, indeed, a cross-windows application?  Should I use for transfer error correction?

    I do not know.  There is an entry in the preferences system-> network of bluetooth devices, but which may be limited to attach to a cell phone to access the internet.  I'm not sure.  You can experiment with the configuration of the network at least.

    OS X Yosemite: connect to the Internet with a mobile phone Bluetooth active>

    If so, can I use X 11 to do?  X 11 is, indeed, a cross-windows application?  Should I use for transfer error correction?

    If you get a network connection, if you can get X 11 to talk, she must be the connection TCP/IP and TCP protocol provides a reliable transfer.

    Just checking, but you know that OS X is NOT X 11 as its windowing technology.  You can use XQuartz for X 11 using a Unix or Linux system.  But you won't be able to say a typical application for Mac that his DISPLAY server is more about it another system.  The best you can do with OS X is use screen sharing to display applications running on the remote system.

    NOTE: Bluetooth is not a fast transport and X 11 is a very chatty Protocol.  If you get X 11 windows displayed through the Bluetooth, it's perhaps not as sensitive as you use a WiFi or Ethernet connection.  Not having done something like that, I'm just speculating.

    If you can get a connection, then chances are you can do ANY kind of network operation in all of what the Mac is normally supported.

  • Speed of sata for 2012 mini mac link only 3A negotiated Gigabit?

    I just bought a 2012 mini mac, processor i5 2.5 GHz opportunity. It seems that everything is delivered as originally, the hard drive is HTS545050A7E362 (5400 RPM). I think that it initially comes with Mountain Lion, but now the OS is 10.9.5 Mavericks. I plan to hand 10.8 Cougar on it soon.

    It seems to take so long to start as my mac mini 2010. I made a backup and he seemed to be very slow. It was a few days ago. Today, using 'about this Mac' and looking at the Express SATA/SATA, it shows Intel Series 7 Chipset, connection speed: 6 Gigabit, negotiated speed: 3 Gigabit.

    Should it? If that's all that the current drive can do, which will motivate me to get an SSD. I intend to change the OS anyway, I'll do this first and see if a difference. I tried searching for this info online and cannot find published specifications, and there are some problems like this, but with models much earlier with different circuits firmware. Maybe I'll try start several times with the command-V, even if I think I'm going to need a camera high speed to capture the output. Is it possible to display the default info not requiring only the command-V?

    6.0 is supported. The drive may be 3.0.

  • Mini Mac does not connect to restore the iPad 2

    I work in a public library, and we have several iPad 2s who lend us out for our guests to use. Between each user, restore us the iPad to factory default with a mac mini, then reinstall our applications from the iTunes backup. Since we have upgraded to iOS 9.2 a month ago, we had trouble getting the restore process of working part. When we try, we get this error message: "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource is not found. »

    The mini connects to iTunes and can surf the web without any problem, we do not have any anti-virus installed on it, and we tried to connect via our LAN and WiFi. We have the latest version of iTunes and the latest iOS on the mini. We rebooted the mini many times. I checked the file hosts, in accordance with the instructions from apple, and apparently is not the issue. I am able to restore the iPad on a Windows PC and then move them to the mini to apply the settings of our saved backup, so I think the problem is with the mini itself, although it now occupies about 3 times more time to reinstall the applications as before.

    We've been ready ipads in recent years without any major problems and have made no changes to the default settings of the mini otherwise to update the iOS. Restore the iPad is the only thing we use the mini for. I would appreciate any advice.

    What OSX version and what version of iTunes?

    You say Mac mini Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    The last OSX is 10.11.2 and iOS 9.2 requires at least 10.8.5 to get the required iTunes version

    I have an iPhone 6 with abios 9.3.2 update.  Have experienced problems of bluetooth with my connection on my Forester from 2015.  It worked fine before the update.  Went to the assistance of Apple having a soft reboot.  they had me back up to iTunes and restore.  Most of the problems have been resolved but still cannot get sound on phone calls.  Were asked to reset all the settings.  Would like to know what, and what I have to do after.

    Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    IF you look at what is in the settings app, you will need to re-home/redo everything what you have configured in the application. You will need to join all the WiFi networks once again, enter again all the passwords, set all your privacy settings, your favorite wallpaper select ringtones, reset notifications and so on. Basically, all that is in the application settings will have to be entered again.

    Your phone will also restart on its own when you reset all settings. It takes time to put everything back to where you had it, but it's not so bad. I did it several times.
