AU x64 Doesn't Work for Firefox 3

[jwebby]

Jwebby,

AU would check a profile folder to check if there is a cookie.sqlite file present. If it is there, it decides it is a FF3 profile folder and won't look for cookies.txt file in the same folder. FF3 automatically converts cookies.txt to cookie.sqlite on install.

Please let me know if FF2 uses the same profile folder as FF3 ; all we need to do is remove one line of code.

All versions use different profiles, I don't want to run FF2 on an FF3 profile, etc.. I heard it can mess up the profile.

OK

Can you please let me know where the FF2 profile folder is located ?

FF2 Profile:
"C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\v2"
And I think by default Cache is in:
"C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\v2\Cache"

hi Jwebby

AU should clean the v2 profile folder if there is no cookies.sqlite file in that folder (v2). Can you please check if there is any cookies.sqlite file there ?

There is no cookies.sqlite file in the v2 profile

Babar,

Please download http://www.acelogix.com/downloads/aufull.exe and try again.

The AU verison is the same, but we added another file to the setup ; so it is different.

Just did it, but still only showing a single, protected cookie - none of the many others...

AU is now working like it should. I have 4 FF profiles; v1, v1.5, v2, and v3. It sees them all, sees the cookies in all profiles and cleans everything perfectly.

I would say this issue is fixed.

Thank you, your hard work is very appreciated.

Jwebby, glad to hear the issue is fixed. In fact, we fixed it yesterday itself (setup was missing one file).

Babar,

Can you please post here the contents of the file
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini

Let me know the FF3 installation folder (is it c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) ?

Also, paste the contents of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox
include the subkeys too. Right click on the above key, click Export from the context menu.

I hate to say this but there is one last issue;
I have a shortcut using commandline: "C:\Program Files\Ace Utilities\au.exe" /tasks:h
If FF is open the little white box in the corner hangs until you close FF. I can make it work by unchecking the FF Browsing History but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I realize it's not going to clean the cache with FF open but it would be nice if it didn't hang. If it can't clean it, it should ignore it.

Thanks.

Babar,

Can you please post here the contents of the file
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini

Also, paste the contents of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox
include the subkeys too. Right click on the above key, click Export from the context menu.

Profile.ini is as follows:

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profile.ini

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/xpk40kg9.default
Default=1

The Fx 3 installation folder is indeed C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

Interestingly, there are two Firefox subkeys in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla

The first one is:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox]
@="1.9.0.1"
"CurrentVersion"="3.0.1 (en-US)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\3.0.1 (en-US)]
@="3.0.1 (en-US)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\3.0.1 (en-US)\Main]
"Install Directory"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox"
"PathToExe"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"
"Create Quick Launch Shortcut"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\3.0.1 (en-US)\Uninstall]
"Uninstall Log Folder"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\uninstall"
"Description"="Mozilla Firefox (3.0.1)"

And the second one is:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1]
"GeckoVer"="1.9.0.1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1\bin]
"PathToExe"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1\extensions]
"Components"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\components"
"Plugins"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\plugins"

Hope this helps!

Babar,

Please check if a file named au32.exe exists in the AU installation folder (c:\program files\ace utilities)
