O.T. Firefox:
I have a Dell XPS 8500, with Windows 7 Professional, SP1,
with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast , Windows Defender and Windows firewall. (1) TB HD Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-33-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz Ram 12.0 GB System type : 64-bit operating system I also have I have a Dell Optiplex 780 Tower, with Windows 7 Professional, SP1, with Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, Avast , Windows Defender and Windows firewall. Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" System type : 64-bit operating system and (external hard drives) (8500) WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (780) Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive I was doing my usual scans on the 8500 and while doing a smart scan with Avast it said that Firefox was outdated. I checked and it said I was up to date but it showed changes on the 10th of this month. So I downloaded Firefox and signed in with my email address/password to put it in sync but now it wants me to sync with other devices like a cell phone which I do not have so I closed it and now says I'm logged into my FF account. My question is should I have done any of this and will I have to log into Firefox every time I use it now? In passing I ran the smart scan on the 780 and it shows no outdated applications. So why the 8500 and not the 780? I don't understand it which makes me think I shouldn't have done this. Thoughts/suggestions Robert |

p.s. I don't like the fact that it now says I'm logged into FF using my email account and there is no logoff. Robert |

Robert I think I know why its showing my email; because I signed up for syncing without really knowing what it was. After checking I realize I didn't need it So I tried to reverse this by downloading FF again but the email still remains. I restarted the computer and when it came back it said that my copy of Win7 was not genuine!!!@ What the hell?! I then powered off/on but the message didn't reappear and FF is unchanged. I finally was able to go into manage accounts and was able to delete the account. Boy, what a mess! Robert |
