  1. Thanks a lot, developers. I'd like to voluntarily contribute what my final activity on CCleaner would be, which is uninstalling it completely from my system and from any others that I manage. Bye CCleaner, it's been swell.
  2. I think you've got Firefox's Session Store feature confused with Windows' System Restore feature. They are separate. AFAIK, Firefox's Session Store does not interact directly with Windows' System Restore so CCleaner shouldn't have to mess with Windows' System Restore cache in any way. Anyway, I'm done discussing this topic. My aim as a long time CCleaner user, is to help improve the program by reporting any bugs that I happen to come across. It is up to the developers now, whether they want to implement a fix or not.
  3. My apologies about the double post. My other post which I've linked to from here was posted earlier by me asking for support for the specific problem that I was facing. When it became obvious that this problem could possibly be because of a bug in CCleaner functionality, I posted this "official" bug report. Maybe the mods could delete one thread and keep one. The session store feature is a default feature of Firefox 3.0 and the config value is enabled by default on a fresh installation of FF3. Keeping that fact in mind, I would argue that CCleaner is not doing it's job perfectly, because when CCleaner reports that all Firefox cookies have been removed, then one would expect that the cookies would have indeed been removed. As things stand right now, that is not the case. With the default configuration of Firefox, CCleaner fails to remove it's cookies.
  4. I'm not a developer, but I suspect something like this is going on: If browser.sessionstore.enabled is set as TRUE(which it is by default), the session store feature kicks in when you exit Firefox and takes a backup of all the cookies from the default location where they are stored. (I think in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\cookies.sqlite) When you run CCleaner, it cleans the cookies from the default location and reports that the cookies have been removed. The next time that you start Firefox, session restore restores the cookies from its backup, back to the default location. Et Voil?! Your cookies are back from the dead. If CCleaner needs to stay effective, it might have to find a way to get at session restore's backup data and remove it from there as well. Mind you, I don't really know if this is exactly how it transpires. I'm only guessing.
  5. I must respectfully disagree with you here. If CCleaner reports that the cookies are removed after a "clean" process, then that is exactly what I would expect it to have actually done. I'm obviously fully aware that my session data would be lost the next time I open Firefox after I've run CCleaner because that is the intended result I'm looking for when CC says it has removed my cookies. I'm not interested in installing an addon to clean session data from within Firefox, when I could just as well do it using the built-in feature. I use CCleaner primarily because of the convenience of using one program to completely clean my tracks from multiple apps. This "bug" breaks that functionality.
  6. If the config value browser.sessionstore.enabled is set to TRUE (which as it happens, is the default value), CCleaner will fail to remove any of FF's cookies. See my post regarding this issue here. Firefox version: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 CCleaner version: v2.18.878
  7. No, I'm not using Tabmix, but you're right. It's Firefox's built-in session restore facility that's causing this problem. I disabled session restore, by setting the config value browser.sessionstore.enabled as FALSE. Sure enough, this time the cookies were really removed. Now that's a problem for me... I use the built-in session restore feature extensively and I don't want to disable it permanently. If I had to disable session restore from within Firefox each time I wanted to run CCleaner, I would much rather clear my cookies and cache from within Firefox itself, using the handy "Clear Private Data" feature. It will also break the usage of CCleaner's "autoclean" feature in scripts for those like me who need session restore in Firefox. Will this ever be fixed?
  8. I'm using the latest build of Firefox (3.0.8), and version 2.18.878 of CCleaner. I have all the boxes checked in the Firefox/Mozilla configuration section in CCleaner, but still even after running through a clean process where CCleaner reports that it has removed certain cookies, those same cookies are still visible when I check Firefox. I confirmed that the cookies have indeed not been removed by visiting a site that has previously placed a cookie and noticing that all my information was still being retained. I've been noticing this behaviour in CCleaner since the previous few builds, but I didn't report it then because I thought it might be fixed in future builds. What could be wrong?
  9. Would I have to uninstall PerfectDisk everytime I want to run CCleaner?
  10. They aren't files. They are registry entries. Here's a screenpic of some of mine that won't go away. They look like entries that pertain to the defragmenting program called "PerfectDisk" I tried to delete those entries manually using "regedit" but it gave me an error. Could it be that PerfectDisk, which is installed on my machine and is running as a service is preventing those entries from being removed?
