Firefox-Hilfeforum

I am using a computer in my office which is a shared computer with the server so if i use the private browsing mode whether is it possible to track my browsing history in the server computer. I understand the private browsing mode will not save any browsing history in my system but my question is will the history save on the server computer or not.. please post me a detailed answer.

when using private browsing if i open some sites or if i download any file on a shared computer whether the information will store or can be viewed on the server computer

I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.

Whenever I am using firefox ( daily) it seems to use up a huge amnount of memory. It uses so much that loading pages slows to a crawl, and so do any other applications I am using. This happens even if I have only 2, or even 1 tab open. I am pretty sure I don't have any viruses-- although I admit I suppose this is possible--

but why would firefox be using this much memory/ space?

When I sign out of FF and want to go back in, I have to go through Task Mgr each time by deleting FF and then signing back in. I followed these directions -- Select the Start Menu in the Windows Taskbar. 2. In the Search box, enter the following: %APPDATA% 3. Press Enter. 4. From the Application Data folder, navigate to Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 5. Delete the file xpicleanup.dat. 6. Restart Firefox. --- but I could not find Mozilla Firefox under 'Program Files'.

After I loaded Firefox and used it the 1st time, a blue bar appears above the internet page tab that says "Downloading the latest applications". No matter how long I leave the internet and compute on, it never finishes downloading. And every time I restart Firefox, the same blue bar appears. How do I get rid of this?

bing comes up when, for instance, I enter "amazon" in the address bar instead of taking me directly to Amazon.com. i can't find "bing" in any folders, remove programs in control panel (windows xp), the registry or FireFox add-ons.

why did you start using plugin-container.exe. It is constantly causing crashes on my computer proven by when I install firefox 3.6.4 or .5 or .6. the program also frequently uses 3.5 gigs of memory. When I remove firefox and install an older version that doesn't use it I have lots of memory left and no crashes.

This happened

Not sure how often

== when I installed firefox 3.6.4

anytime i am on the internet, i just can't play online games, load videos, or simply watch them on youtube. Firefox says i have to install adobe player but i can't load it (there is a "loading error" message everytime i try).

I have Firefox installed in a linux-system, everything was working fine, then i moved all extensions to the global extensions folder, now the problem is, Firefox will not start unless i remove extensions.rdf in the profile-folder, no errormessage is shown, as soon as it starts it recreates extensions.rdf and then won't start the next time. I've already tried cleaning out the complete profile, which will work the first time firefox starts, but as soon as it has created extensions.rdf it will not start again.

I comment on a certain blog everyday and firefox never remembers my account. I just minimize or close firefox and it will make me sign up again even though I commented earlier in the day.

When I am on a website on the internet and try to print, Firefox makes me Save the pages as a document and will not print directly from the website. This is very aggravating. Any suggestions on how to stop this?

Firefox gives me a consistent error when updating: "Firefox could not install this item because of a failure in Chrome Registration. Please contact the author about this problem." Can't re-install Firefox, or get it to open without this message at least 6-7 times.

== I tried to update Firefox.

How do I stop Firefox from asking ("To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.") when I try to go back to a previous page?

I accidentally clicked on a "this solved my problem" in this forum, and now I can't re-open it. I don't want to simply post a duplicate thread because:-

A) That would be annoying B) It would give the impression that the problem was solved.

When I try to view the Content tab in Preferences, it shows the last tab I clicked on. For example, when I click on Tabs and then try to view the Content tab, it shows the Tabs tab.
