Popup of local storage that cannot be granted or denied

Computer of my mother who is an iMac running the most recent version, has begun to show this popup last night when she goes on shockwave.com to play games.  It says something about the local storage and gives you the ability to allow or deny.  (Sorry I don't have a screenshot, but I'm on my computer after working with him for hours).  The problem is that you can not click or either allow or refuse - he won't do anything.  I tried the tab options and it would move but nothing if you hit enter or SPACEBAR.  The only way out is to leave the site.

I don't really know a lot about Adobe Flash so bear with me please.  She uses Firefox, but the same thing happened in Safari when I went to shockwave.com.  He arrived in Chrome at the moment.  The computer is almost new and I checked and the last version of Flash has been installed.  Just to try it, I uninstalled Flash and reinstalled and exactly the same thing happened when I went to this site.  She says she's only seen on this Web site.

I have Firefox configured to always ask before running it.  I changed it so that it always runs for this particular site, but the popup was always there.  I researched and researched and exhausted all the options I can think.  It is not just a matter of the popup is annoying, is the fact that it will not go away, or allow you to click on what it is about that.  My elderly mother has very limited abilities and understanding when it comes to technology and online security is a huge concern.

Does anyone have ideas about what could possibly help?  I appreciate all the help and assistance.  Thank you.

Yes, it's a symptom of our anti-clickjacking too careful logic.  This happens usually when something animated moves behind the dialog box, or sometimes, it's just specific resolution/zoom-level.

Unfortunately, as a browser plug-in, it's really hard to say whether or not we are above the thing on the screen, and we do not accept clicks on the dialog boxes for security unless we know that you actually see them and not other thing (for example "click here to win! 1. '') superimposed on top of it.

Honestly, in 2016, restrict the ability of content to store data locally is not really buy you something meaningful in terms of privacy and security.  If you want to avoid persistent tracking chips, your browser's private browsing mode is much, much more efficient, and we pay tribute to her.  We also clear the Flash Player local shared objects when you clear cookies from your browser (to the extent that your browser tells us that you have done this).  Aversion for Flash Player local shared objects is largely based in the superstition at this stage.  The ability for marketers to create followed resilient, persistent is much more powerful in native HTML and JavaScript.  Feel free to look through my feeding activity to find similar posts, where I pointed the academic research on the subject, etc.

So, here's my pragmatic recommendation:

Go to settings > Flash Player > storage and choose allow sites to record information on this computer

Where you do not want websites to save persistent information, use the private browsing mode.

This accomplishes two things:

-Content stores data locally, while everything seems to work normally to the content.

-Flash Player nor the content will throw errors or permission dialog boxes

-All data is stored in a temporary location, which is destroyed when you exit your private browsing session

This gives you the best possible user experience and the best defense against tracking in Flash and HTML/JavaScript.  If you are in the business to uniquely identify people, it is a general practice at this stage to use all the technologies available for the redundancy and resilience, including techniques of both local fingerprinting that on the server side, so just to "solve" the Flash Player vector by disabling LSO does not significantly help.

Unfortunately, the threat of clickjacking requires us to implement solutions less than optimal and the decade or so of experience with very smart people working on it shows that it is a game of whack-a-mole.  It is best to avoid scenarios where the dialog box gets jumped by adding fields to the trust list, or simply by allowing access to the total of just.  The ideal solution would be to move these to the browser native user interface dialog boxes, but which requires buy-in from all browser vendors involved, etc..

    Please provide and advise that you can.

    ESX supports up to 2 TB LUNS less 512 b size, so you need to divide into smaller pieces of 2 TB storage space.

    If you want a large store of data, you can do so from 5 2 TB LUN each with extents.

  • Don't make a left click or close the popup settings for Flash Player local storage

    New book from Surface, 200% display scaling. cannot left click or close the popup of local storage settings Flash Player (which is not scaled). Make a right click works, but cannot get rid of blocked dialogue. I see people saying Flash dialogues only work with the scaling to screen 100%, but this would make the screen of 3000 x 2000 pretty unusable. Is there a better solution?

    I just ordered a couple for the team the other day.  It took some time for our supplier of equipment start their storage.

    These dialog boxes are problematic for a number of reasons.  I'd love to see them disappear entirely.  In most cases, what you run is our protection fromclickjacking anti - being overzealous.  Flash Player is in an uncomfortable position, where it is difficult to ensure that we are the object of above and that our security dialogue box is not obscured by something malicious that tries to make you click on it.  This is particularly problematic if the dialog box appears on things that move, such as video.  Fixed bugs in the logic of clickjacking is a game of whack-a-mole, so usually set us on a config and finds that he has beaten another combination of factors of density/zoom screen/resolution.

    The best way to deal with the situation is to simply stop the dialog box to display in the first place.  The days when disabling Local Shared Objects in Flash you bought anything in terms of protection personal information are over long - HTML5 provides much more powerful functions to develop behavioral followed resilience.  The best approach in trying to stay private is to use only the browser incognito-private browsing mode.  This tricks Flash into thinking it has access to whatever he wants to write, but it happens in a temporary directory that is destroyed when you exit the private browsing session.

    Since Flash Player think actually that it runs with rein in Incognito mode, without dialog boxes to throw (unless you have set the default privacy preferences in the drive).  Incognito mode is far superior to management of granular controls of the Flash, because it also beats the approaches to monitoring of client - side HTML5 equivalent * and * is not usually degrade the user experience.  We do also some extra stuff to help the hurt to do server side footprints, like turning a very minimal list, sorted by alphabetical order of the policies in Incognito mode.  If you're curious about what can be done exclusively on the coast Server (and want to be depressed), check out https://panopticlick.eff.org/.

    Anyway, for this purpose, you can configure Flash Player to always allow sites to store local shared objects, or you can allow it on a site-by-site basis if it is a site of particular video or something that gives you consistent headaches.

    To do this, go to control panel > Flash Player > storage and choose an option.

    It is also interesting to note that there is a lot of superstition there since the beginning of the 1990s on the 'Flash Cookies' / shared/LSO local objects that holds true anymore.

    When you clear the cache of your browser, we remove our LSO.  The feature was scheduled for things like game save data and caching assets, but some smart marketing people find it useful to backup the data in the cookie of the user store, so that they had followed who survived a user to delete their cookies.  While the unfortunate and embarrassing, we corrected for a long time that, by adopting a behavior that we believe best match user expectations.  Unfortunately, once you get the stench on you, it is difficult to reverse.

    Hope that helps!

  • In a local storage folder, I can't view messages beyond a certain date

    My most recent e-mail messages in a particular local storage folder cannot be found. I get the message "loading" and nothing happens.

  • Mail disappears when you use local storage to Inbox of several e-mail addresses

    After affecting all my email accounts and storage local folders to store mails in I went each account and the server settings, advanced and chose to send all incoming messages in the Inbox of local storage.

    When I do that, I see messages being downloaded, and then they disappear.

    I go back and put the accounts to use their own Inbox and I get the end messages.

    It's only when I want all accounts to send messages in the Inbox local storage that they disappear.

    I missed half a dozen on the e-mails and I have no idea who they are so I can't very well their demand to return them.

    For now I put this back to individual accounts, but I'd rather have the Central Inbox, if I can

    What I am doing wrong?

    Well, I worked around it. I have all the accounts to their own Inbox and 1 rule in each account - that moves all messages for each account in the Inbox of the local account that has all the individual rules to move sub folders.

    Not elegant, but it works.

  • Local storage capacity in 5.1

    Hello

    I know that, in version 5.1 you can use vmotion without the use of a SAN (instead use local storage).  This also extends to the HA feature or a SAN is always needed for this?

    Thank you

    For HA can restart the virtual machines on another host in the event of a host failure, the other host must have access to the files of the virtual machine. With local storage on the failed host, the other host will not normally be able to access to the files of the virtual machine. If you use warehouses of data on local storage THAT HA will not work unless you also use the vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA). VSphere Storage Appliance creates the shared storage of local storage.

  • ESXi5.1 and large amount of Local storage

    Hello

    I have an ESXi host 5.1 with a virtual machine, acting as a file server. The host has more than 4 TB of local storage that is not in use. Is it possible to introduce this 4TB as a single volume to the VM file server? I would just like to
    be made available as a drive in Windows.

    I read some solutions autour using RDM or by creating 2 TB VMDK and configuring as interval in Windows training. Are there other options?

    Thank you

    SoC

    If you want to run a configuration support, virtual disks of ~ 2 TB are currently the only way to go, because RDM are supported only with LUNS on the shared storage. Personally, I would not combine the two virtual disks in the guest OS somehow (dynamic disks, RAID0) but consider split user data and is present through different actions or DFS.

  • HP ProLiant DL160 - cannot create the data with local storage (controller, no RAID) store

    Hi all. I appreciate your time and comments.

    Using VMware ESXi (initially), installation (VMware ESXi 5.5.0, 1331820) will very well (install on USB). Able to enter in the console of the vSphere Client, everything seems normal. Any attempt to use local storage, however, is filled with this error message: http://i.imgur.com/40ySsOS.png

    "It was not correct to specified parameters. Vim.Host.DiskPartitionInfo.spec"-" 'HostStorageSystem.ComputerDiskPartitionInfo' call for object 'storage system' on ESXi "< ip address >" failed. "

    I tried both the base (from VMware) installation disc and the "Custom" (HP) HP installation disk. Both have the same problem: all facilities, but local disks - as seen while - are not able to serve local storage. It worked very well (previous incarnation was as Server 2003 file server, no reported\noticed questions). It's not under warranty, its going to be used as a laboratory server. All this seems to work well.

    Specifics:

    HP DL160 G6

    Storage card: ICH10 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller

    Discs: 3 G MDL 500 GB 7200

    Controller and the disks are perceived by the system: http://i.imgur.com/3PAKQHL.png

    Can someone point me in the right direction on what to go here? Research on the error messages do not lead to a lot of help. I'll get more pending. I would be grateful.

    This could be a problem with the current data on the disk. I suggest clean you the partition info using the DD explained to the KB VMware: Troubleshooting in the add storage Wizard error: cannot read this disk partition information to see if that solves the problem.

  • Is it possible to run vcbmounter (or a free alternative) so that it doesn't copy vmdk local storage?

    Hi all

    Another question about vcbmounter. Just get the part my implementation of VSphere backup and will go with backup exec and vcb. Have divided into EMC cx500 san fc vcb proxy. I am able to run vcbmounter on my vcb proxy and he rides out of my vmdk files no problem. It seems, however, that when I try to mount vmdk directly (forget the name now), there is a copy and conversion process that takes a lot of time. So I guess that the vmdk everything is copied to a local storage of the vcb proxy?

    Is there a way like the "files" mode, where it rises only the vmfs file system and the vmdk can be copied directly to tape?

    Thanks in advance!

    Liam-

    vcbMounter will ABSOLUTELY instant of your VM and copy it to the SAN disk via the proxy. Unfortunately, it will not directly copy on tape. Check out my Guide to proven practices VCB on VI:OPS.

  • Cannot add local storage of 2 of the 3 armies VM

    I added 9 300 disks in concert at 9 different hosts. They have SAN connections shared between them all, and now I wanted to add 300 locally to each. I got the readers in the server, restarted the first and F8 to enter the config of the car and he saw the car, I added and saved the configuration.

    Restarted and went into the VI. a host to the top, as well as virtual methods... went to the Config tab on the host, storage adapters and verfiied I could see the new drive. Went to the storage and click Add storage. Chose the disk/lun and the next screen showed me my local drive. He added, and everything was fine.

    Then, on the same server, I went through all the above steps, until he showed on the storage adapter properties page, and he was there... But when I go to the store page and add storage, it does not appear there. Only my existing device SAN disks are. I reread the HBA and drives are all showing under the Smart Array P400i vmhba0 again. but only the first showed when I went to add it in VI.

    I have returned a 2nd, deleted the player, readded it and still no luck... anyone seen this?

    The internal ServeRAID controller shows two LUNS - LUNS RAID1 for ESX and the RAID0 which is empty and must become a VMFS volume. When you go to "add storage", it only shows the first unit number logic that ESX is on.

    How can I allow the second LUN VMFS?

    You try to do it from the VI connected through Virtual Center client? If so, try to connect to the CIV directly to the ESX host to add storage. I noticed before this local storage not allocated does not appear when management through Virtual Center.

  • Flash does not work in FF26, it works in Chrome and IE. I reinstalled FF and Flash several times. I can't adjust the setting of local storage for Flash either.

    Flash does not work on some web sites. I never had a problem before with flash on FF in the nearly 15 years that I've used FF. Recently it has stopped working for some reason any and on some flash sites does not, NHL.com and site of kid Herotopia being just two of them. I updated FF, Adobe flash, the reinstalled version them repeatedly deleted all the files that have been stored on my laptop; that is, profiles, saved favorite nothing that I could find in user accounts and in the local app, low local and roaming data folders. What is strange, is that I can't set the local storage for flash either. When I visit the Adobe site to view the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager I can move the scroll bar, but cannot check the: allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer. I can't do it on a Web site where the flash does not work. When I try and it changed on any site that it goes back to zero. Not sure if it is a part of the problem. I got tired of many suggestions on the pages of material here, but nothing works. I even tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4566499#4566499#4566499

You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends. "sometimes when I would buy on Macy's.com. This is the only site that it happened.

The only thing I can think is that I somewhere files corrupted causing this problem. I have just updated to Windows 8.1 tonight in the hope that can help, but nothing helped. I would be very disappointing if I couldn't use FF or must go back using Chrome and FF.

  • vSphere 6, impossible to use FT with local storage

    Hi guys,.

    Now that I understand that when you turn on FT without storage shared in any data warehouse results are displayed in dialog FT in the web client, I met a different problem (so the discussion topic).

    When I turn on FT for a virtual machine that is on the local storage, I'm now able to select data warehouses, but when I select the local storage for the secondary virtual machine, I get a lot of mistakes which tell me the secondary host cannot reach the .vmx file (of course - this is why I need shared storage - for these small files). Shouldn t FT copy the .vmx and all that has to be shared in the right place, because I said where it is? I need to move my VM to a shared storage, then move my VMDK and stuff for local storage manually?

    Here is a screenshot of the dialog box:

    Turn On FT Dialog.jpg

    Here are the current hardware configuration:

    ESX1:

    -IP: 192.168.220.51

    -Data warehouses: ESX1-LocalStorage and NFS

    ESX2:

    -IP: 192.168.220.52

    -Data warehouses: ESX2-LocalStorage and NFS

    My primary VM for FT is on ESX2 and try to get my high school on ESX1.

    Thank you!

    When I read about the new features of FT and it also replicates the storage, I also expect the ability to place FT VMs on non-shared storage. However, it seems that this is not an option (maybe in a later version, who knows).
