Firfox Sync & Firfox App Tabs

[Funghie]

Hi guys,

 

I have 2 problems with Firefox and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

 

I love CCleaner and am reluctant to turn it off.

 

At the moment I have it set to clean:

 

Firefox/Mozilla

• 
   
  
• Internet Cache
  
• Internet History
  
• Cookies
  
• Download History
  
• Saved Form Information (I never save any anyway)
  
• Saved Passwords (as above)
  
• Compact Databases
  

 

Basically, every time I run Cleaner - When I restart Firfox, my Sync settings have disappeared and need to be set up again which is a bit of a pain and takes time.

Also - If any tabs are set as App Tabs they are also gone after running CCleaner (and then starting FF4)

 

I always close FF before running CC.

 

I release that both these issues are probably related to one of the settings above so I was wondering if anyone can tell me:

 

Which settings would I disable in order to stop CCleaner from wiping my Sync settings and my App tabs?

Is there something that could be added to the "Firefox/Mozilla" section of CCleaner to allow us to keep everything on without wiping those 2 things?

 

Thanks in advance,

[Winapp2.ini]

My guess is that they're affected by Compact Databases. Just a guess though, since it seems unlikely any of the others would affect those.

[Mozilla - Site Preferences]
ID=2222
LangSecRef=3026
LangRef=3168
Default=False
SpecialDetect=DET_MOZILLA
SpecialKey1=N_MOZ_SITE_PREFERENCES

 

This is the one that is causing this, uncheck it. Make sure also that Firefox is not deleting this at close.

Nergal, he's not cleaning site preference!

Hi Nergal and others thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

 

Where would I find the settings you mentioned?

 

PS. Just noticed the "Fir"fox title - Sorry about that - I can spell really.

 

Edit again - Actually Winapp2 is right - I don't have that option checked in the first place.

 

Does this mean that no one else is having this trouble?

 

I am Windows 7 64 bit if that is any help.

Hi all,

 

Just thought you may like to know that I have traced the Firefox Sync problem to the item "Saved Passwords" in CC Cleaner.

 

Actually I never save any passwords anyway but FF Sync stores its password in Firefox's Password area. So Un-checking Saved Passwords in CC is the only thing required to stop you having to set up FF Sync after every run of CC.

 

Now to check on App Tabs...

[Funghie]

Un-checking "Session" stops App Tabs from being removed after running CC. :-)

Oops you're correct, I forgot that Sync had started keeping it in the password vault (it was the reason I started using PV on my portable FF)
