    I now have worked on several computers that are not immunizing all Firefox items. Does anybody have any other possible solutions?

    ello,

    Please try the following:
    Go to the folder:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

    There please delete the permissions.sqlite and generate a new file for the hostperm.1 that is empty.
    Now please immunize again.
    That should solve the problem.

    This information is also available in our forum:

    Default Did not fix the problem

    Sandra:

    Thank you for replying. I deleted the permissions.sqlite files and generated a new blank file for the hostperm.1 for each profile, but it did not fix the problem. Five of six default profiles immunize properly, the sixth one does not. (I also did a search for those files, and made sure that I found all of them.)

    I need to return this computer back to my customer, but I have several customers who have this issue. I will explain to them to ignore it for now, and hopefully we will get a fix for it down the road. Thanks again for your help.

    I have tried all of the suggestions on this thread. The problem is still happening, across several clients running both new and existing installations of xp and vista. No luck yet.

    Paphs:
    What Operating System are you running?
    Open Spybot-Search&Destroy>Immunize tab> and click Immunize (Green Cross) again. That should do the trick.

    xp service pack 3
    firefox 3.0.3
    spybot 1.6.0.30

    several users on my machine.
    it's weird but it seems that the permissions.sqlite regenerate after i go through and remove them for the users that have them.

    Did you read my previous post? And did it work?
    Did you Immunize from a Administer account?

    yup. i've tried what's been listed above as well as searching for other posts that might help. i am going to undo immunization, remove spybot (and try to figure out how to fun the very small fix) then try to reinstall it.

    i just don't understand how and why firefox puts those permissions.sqlite back after i delete them.
    i do have administrator privileges.
