Immunization Settings for Firefox Lost Every Time Browser Opened

[Al K. Hall]

@CindyS,


Quote "Unchecking the Firefox 3.5 "Site Preferences" checkbox in the places listed above resolves these issues -- but at the expense of me having to accept the possibility of site preference data being preserved within Firefox."


I tried your method of unchecking 'Site Prferences' (Options>Privacy>Settings), but after a reboot, the Firefox 3.5 immunization is cleared anyway.

@CindyS,

I have found that you must uncheck 'Site Preferences' in both areas you mentioned. I was unclear on that point, I understood you to say either/or.

After unchecking 'Site Preferences' in both areas, the immunization appears to stay.

I'm having the same problem since I updated firefox to 3.5.1.
Are we waiting on an update to resolve this?

I just found this out as I only recently updated to Firefox 3.5.3

this is still an issue:
and it's a Firefox problem:

Firefox 3.5.3
Spybot S&D: updated to newest def. 18/Sep./2009

in Firefox:
Tools > Options > "Security" tab
Clear History when Firefox closes check box checked
in "Settings" if "site preferences" is checked it wipes out the immunizations at the browser close not at browser open, as soon as Firefox is closed the immunizations vanish

same with the site preferences check box in:
Tools > Clear Recent History

if executing the in browser clear history and the site preferences check box is checked it will immediately wipe out the immunizations

and as noted above; both methods of clearing private data / history cannot have the site preferences check box checked they both must be left blank, or immunization info will be deleted.

Hello,

The issue should be fixed in a new version, I do not think that there will be an update for this.

Still the same problem with FF 3.55 now. Any action yet to resolve this bug??

And a functional question: if I immunize before browsing, am I at least immunized until I close and reopen FF? I.e., are the immunizations actually working at least temporarily, or is Spybot erroneously reporting that immunization has been successful??
