Firefox

Holmemoss reviewed on 21 Dec 2011

I have not experienced the crash with v9.0 which some Mac users are. However, all the bookmark icons have disappeared in v9.0

I have gone back to v8.0.1

Yes, both set to true.

I am inclined to agree with Sc and it is a bug.

Firefox

Is Firefox in trouble?

Comment in the UK press:

Apple OS X Lion

I have always had a Mac since the late 1980s and System 6. Snow Leopard was (is!) the most stable of them all.

I have not upgraded but a friend has and he is having all sorts of problems. Besides, I want my iBook to behave like a Mac not an iPad.

Apple Safari

I am in the UK and running 10.6.8

iWork 9.1 Update 6 and iTunes 10.4 are showing up using Software Update but Safari 5.1 is not.

I have a late 2009 iBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo, which I presumed was 64-bit.

Several hours after my original post; Safari 5.1 has now appeared on Software Update.

Apple OS X Lion

Just to point out to everyone that Norton products are not compatible with Lion

I haven't bought Lion yet so I cannot say. Unfortunately, MacUpdate does not allow a post without insisting on stars being allocated.

I live and learn; thank you.

I was actually trying to be helpful as I had weeks of wasted Norton subscription when Snow Leopard was released. Now Symantec are going to charge an upgrade fee when they eventually release Anti-Virus compatible with Lion.

Apple Mac OS X

No problems here in the UK with the update though Software Update.

I do think it is a bug fix for 10.6.7, though.

Very wary of Mac App Store 'enhancement'.

I have posted this a year or so ago but, to refresh everyone's mind, this is the link for instructions to remove the updater:

The Ghostery icon has disappeared. Does it still work?

Silly me jumping into print!

There is an Add-on bar under View>Toolbars

Firefox

Holmemoss reviewed on 18 Mar 2011

This relates to v3.6.15 and I noticed it by accident.

I delete all cookies on exit and have checked they have all been deleted. When I open Firefox the next day and even before I have looked at a web page, there is a cookie from advanced-web-analytics.com

I have blocked 'advanced-web-analytics.com' with Exceptions but this makes no difference; it is always there as soon as I launch Firefox.

What on earth is this cookie?

My home page is blank but, yes, I do have Trusteer Rapport installed.

So that is where it has come from; I presume I should not be manually deleting the cookie every day.

Holmemoss replied on 21 Mar 2011

Further to my earlier response, Trusteer Rapport is installed but the advanced-web-analytics.com cookie does not appear if I use Safari.

I can't see, therefore, that Trusteer is the culprit.

Apple Mac OS X

Surprise, surprise I received an email from Apple this morning at 10.22am UK time advertising the Mac App Store.

I have never had anything to do with Microsoft, have used a Mac since 1989 and I don't like this underhand marketing ploy one bit.

Apple was about choice before flogging everything to everybody was the vogue.

Yes, I can delete it but it would have been nice to have been given the choice.
