Why is facebook knows my location based on my login information using firefox?

I don't normally log my FB account, but I recently made using Firefox. I received a notification that I had connected using firefox and also there was my location. -What happened? Is it a setting on Firefox (which I can't find) or is my place revealed through the servers of my ISP and actually has nothing to do with Firefox? It's my best guess, but I'm not really sure.

Hi khum, yes - websites can guess your approximate location based on your ip address which is sent with each request (which is required to route traffic to the right place in the network):

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do against that, except am trying to use a vpn, proxy or something service like the Pack of navigation tor to hide your 'real' while browsing IP.

  • How to set the landing page based on the login information?

    Hello

    I'm on 4.0.2 Apex and use the custom with application authentication table users (that is, the application itself that manages the connection).

    The application has a few tabs and based on the role of the logged in user, I show/hide the tabs using conditional display.

    Things are very well so far, but I don't know how to change the default landing page connecting based on the role.

    By default, page 1 appears when connecting, but not all roles have access to this page. How can I change the launch page, under certain conditions?

    For example,.
    If the role is Admin then go to page 1,
    If the role provider then go to page 310
    .
    .
    etc.

    I use the logon page out-of-the-box 101


    Thanks for the help.

    I quickly tested on an ApEx 3.2 above environment. It worked only once I've changed the URL of disconnection in the authentication scheme:

    wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout? p_this_flow = & APP_ID. & p_next_flow_page_sess = & APP_ID.: 101

    I changed the id app at the end of 1 to 101.

  • Why it give me the option of storage/memory login information/passwords for some sites, but not for others?

    Windows XP with Firefox 5.0 beta 1

    Some sites such as PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

    If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

  • I can't comment or whatever it is on Facebook as when using Firefox. Other browsers work, but not Facebook.

    I tried to clear my history, cookies and everything else on Firefox, but it does not solve the problem.

    Whenever I try to comment on a post on facebook it says "Unable to display the comment." And it wont let me as any positions either.

    Google Chrome works perfectly with Facebook. I don't want to quit smoking using Firefox, but unless I get soon a solution that may be what I have to do.

    I recently got my Facebook working again when I disabled my extensions at the same time. It was a mistake, but because by then, I didn't know what could be the cause of the problem. After activating one by one, do the reboots needed, etc, I noticed that the only time where Facebook will not load my messages or I would like / comment is when the Plugin of effective Community measure 3.1.0 (by effective measure Pty Ltd) is enabled. I thought that perhaps similar plugins or products of the same manufacturer are not compatible with Facebook and Firefox 17. IDK.

    Bottomline is: there is an extension/plugin that went rogue. There may be more.

  • Siri in iOS10 does not accept the location based reminders; definition of reset

    I have a problem with iOS10 when you try to create a reminder using Siri location-based. Siri continues to ask me to allow access to my location for reminders in the settings. But even accepting that Siri seems to return this setting to disabled. It is possible to create the same using reminders App.

    Anyone with the same problem? And most importantly... someone has a solution?

    I use the Dutch language for Siri on an iPhone SE iOS10 running.

    HI Rob.nl,

    I understand that your location Services settings do not stay set when you try to use Siri program reminders. I know it's nice to be able to set reminders on the go, so I'm happy to help you.

    Let's start by making sure that your location service are configured before using same Siri. Find out how to set up here:

    On privacy and location in 8 and later versions - Apple iOS Support Services

    Enable or disable location Services

    You can enable or disable location Services in settings > privacy > location Services. You can enable location-based Services during the wizard process of installation or later through the creation of location-based Services. You can individually control applications and system services have access to the data of location Services. When location Services are disabled, the apps can't use your position in the foreground or background. You will thus limit the performance of various Apple and third-party applications.

    Settings > privacy > location Services.

    Settings > privacy > location Services > System Services.

    You can also create the same types of recalls in the application:

    Use reminders on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Choose where you want to be reminded

    Location reminders inform you when you arrive or leave a place, like home or work. To receive location based reminders, make sure the location Service is turned on and that your device supports this feature.

    To receive a reminder to a place:

    1. Press on to the right of your reminder, turn on Remind me somewhere and then on location.
    2. Search for or enter the address where you want to be reminded. You can even use your current location.
    3. Choose if you want a reminder when you leave or arrive at this place.
    4. Drag the black point on the circle in or out to change the perimeter of your reminder box.
    5. Click details to return to the previous screen, and then tap done.

    Location based reminders is available in iOS 8 or later on iPhone 4 and later versions, iPad Pro (Wi - Fi + cell), iPad (4th generation Wi - Fi + cell), Air and later (Wi - Fi + cell), 4 (Wi - Fi + cell) mini iPad iPad and iPod touch (6th generation).

  • I hid all the photos of Facebook friends somehow and do not know how to restore them. Only if you are using Firefox - how can I get back them?

    I right click a picture on Facebook, to delete a photo, there was a message from Firefox, I said 'Yes' and all THE photos of friends disappeared, not only that I clicked. I don't know how to restore them. They are obvious when you use another browser is unique to Firefox.

    It is possible that you do not recognize the server that Facebook uses to store images.

    Another way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar and click the button "additional information".

    This will open the Security tab of the window of the Information Page (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).

    Go to the Media of this Page Info window tab.

    Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.

    If a link to the image is gray and there is a check mark in the box of block Images of... just above the area 'Preview Media' can remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

    Whenever recently, lately, using Firefox to open my homepage of optimum.net my voicemail is "not available at this time." It of OK for a few years and is still OK if I use Internet Explorer of Google Chrome, Firefox only gives the problem. Looks like I'll have to give up Firefox, unless it is resolved. I tried "Refresh Firefox' nothing works. My OS is Windows 7 premium.
