Mozilla Firefox users - I have a question!

I get a popup when closing down with the option to clear private data. I used to do this without any problems until the latest version arrived. Oh well--hoping for a quick fix.

Under TOOLS, near the bottom is the option to Clear Private Data. If doing GPT.. you have to clear the cookies after each offer you do or the next one won't credit. When using IE I just used their "delete cookies/temp files" and it didn't log out. With FF...when I clear.. it logs everything off. Granted it, I can work around it and have become very happy with having one window open with multiple sites open in that same window instead of a window for each site as was with IE, and I can work around it, but it just seems like it is such an easy fix for FF. Even if you don't do GPT and need to clear for those reasons... clearing all the cookies and junk stuff that has collected during the day helps with virus and spyware and tracking cookies and all. When all done on the PC for the day, I will run CCleaner to clear things off. I did an article for AC yesterday and had one screen open, with several other sites open in tabs and that was so cool to be able to do the research, get affiliate links and all those kinds of things and still have my article right there to copy and paste as needed. I got the thing done in (for me) record time! With IE it was so cumbersome going between windows and back and forth! So I'm sticking with FF anyway..

Oh, now I understand why. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I see "Clear recent history" and "Start private browsing." I didn't even realize those were there. Glad you're enjoying Firefox. I love the tab options, though the latest IE has those as well. There are just too many good add-ons for Squidoo that I like with Firefox, I wouldn't go back to IE anyway.

I do use CCleaner. But when I was using IE.. if I had FF open and doing something there and then try to use CC.. it would tell me that because FF was open, it couldn't clean all that it was supposed to and to close FF to clean, I got the impression CCleaner doesn't work with FireFox because of that. I still use it after I close FF tho.

The reason to ask you to close firefox is to clean the junk. If the firefox browser is open it cannot delete the temp internet files as it thinks that you are using it. so it asks you to close firefox ccleaner is the best what i have got because there is no need to always in IE to go to the cookies and then delete them over there. It makes the task very simple. Have any other problem let me know i shall try if i can

Sure is, kareng. I have been working solely with FF for the last few days and have gotten to really like the one screen with multiple sites via tabs in that one window instead of having to have seperate window for each thing like IE does. I know they have tabs to recently, but for some reason, I just didn't get into those. But I do GPT and you have to clear cookies after every offer.. I can work around it, but it'd be so much easier, faster and more enjoyable if I didn't have to "work around it" as it seems to be something simple to fix. Guess we'll see. Glad at least to know it is not a "just me" kind of issue.

Keeping fingers crossed that this gets fixed fast! Have a good one!

I looked there but didn't find anything that seemed to have anything to do with an option to not log everything off, but just clear cookies. YOu can do that on IE.

What are your settings? I have had 2 FF windows open, each with a few tabs open, and if I clear cookies using FF tool, it logs all windows and tabs off.
