There is more info about making absolutely sure it is gone here.

Global extensions are the subject of a project, the objective of which is to detect but not reject their injection, to nullify conjecture

Try installing DAOM which was developed to work around bug 473179 and bug 502659 for the time being. Let us know if that helps you.

2. From the menus in the Firefox window click on

BBThorton's reply to "Add Friends" was just promoted to the most useful! BugMeNot and 0 other people think it's one of the best replies.

If it became a whole community, the quality would depend on the users, and as the average standard of people isn't that good*, it would result in a not-as-good Spotify.

I'm totally fine with Spotify as it is now.

BBThorton's reply to "Friends in Spotify, with Sharing features" was just promoted to the most useful! BugMeNot and 0 other people think it's one of the best replies.

A built-in friend list would be like bullying to those who don't have friends. Plus I just want to listen to music. If I want people to know what I'm listening to, then I could just turn the option "what I listen to" on MSN. It'll just be disturbing. If such a thing comes to Spotify, then I hope they will have a Remove/Delete button for it.

(Someone also suggested in another thread that it would app with Facebook - Horrible nightmare! I'm just so entirely tired of the facebook-share-button appearing everywhere.)

I don't want the Spotify-app to turn into a community. Find or make a community website instead. If it became a whole community, the quality would depend on the users, and as the average standard of people isn't that good*, it would result in a not-as-good Spotify.

I'm totally fine with Spotify as it is now.

A comment on the question "Closing Firefox logs me out of everything." in Mozilla:

1. Locate your profile folder - it's a randomly named subfolder of the
directory that opens when you hold down the "windows logo" key on your keyboard
and press R then in that Run dialog paste %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
and hit enter.
2. Ensure Firefox is closed using File -> Exit from menu, and check your Task
Manager processes tab to be sure there is no firefox.exe listed.
3. In the subfolder you found in step 1 find the file named cookies.sqlite and rename it to cookiesBACKUP.sqlite
4. Restart Firefox, log into your sites.
5. Restart firefox again and revisit the sites to see if it logs you in
automatically (if you have chosen "remember me" or other option on the sites.)

The reason the cookies.sqlite database storage of your cookies gets corrupted is because of "cleaning" or "scanning" of tracking cookies done by security/privacy/ad killing software running on your system.
Find the settings for that function in that other software and disable it. The recommended Firefox add-on for better directly managing your cookies is CS lite. – BugMeNot, on July 23, 2009 09:04

BugMeNot replied on July 22, 2009 14:22 to the problem "A URL in a message was opened by Firefox but overnight this changed to IE which I'm not too happy about. What can I do?" in Mozilla Messaging:

I'm guessing you did the "express install" where you don't get to untick the option to make IE8 your default browser?

From the Firefox menu, do Tools -> Options, "Advanced" section, "General" tab, click the "check now" button at the bottom for system defaults.

If that fails, read this article.

A comment on the question "Why does firefox have to reload all my tabs every time it restores a session?" in Mozilla:

Another reason can be that sites specifically send HTTP headers instructing the browser not to cache their pages or elements thereof, which means they were never in the cache to be restored in the first place. If you want Firefox to ignore that like Opera does (with the resulting privacy/security implications), install Better Cache.
Bug 450465 is filed to track all related bugs to do with restoring pages as accurately as possible. – BugMeNot, on July 22, 2009 02:42

BugMeNot replied on July 22, 2009 02:11 to the question "Why does firefox have to reload all my tabs every time it restores a session?" in Mozilla:

The reason it reloads sites is because many fail to respond to a time check that they haven't changed their content, known as the "304 Not Modified" HTTP header, so Firefox retrieves the page expecting new content.
Firefox is unable to know how slow your connection is, or that you don't care about new content, so can't behave in the way you want automatically, but you can trigger it to load tabs from the cache by doing

File -> Work Offline

Before closing Firefox, and when you restart it, it will still think it's offline and only load tabs from the cache. I don't think toggling it back from Offline afterwards will trigger all the tabs to reload at once.

BugMeNot replied on July 22, 2009 02:11 to the question "Why does firefox have to reload all my tabs every time it restores a session?" in Mozilla:

Try either the Load Control extension, or Active Stop Button that enhances the stop button to stop all tabs with a right-click.
