How can I pass the pcflank cookie and referer test using firefox. I mean I started using cookie crusher and it works fine in Opera and IE , but not Firefox 1.0.6. Anyone know of an alternative or how to fix Cookie Crusher to work fine with firefox? dja2k
Download the extension RefControl for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=953 Block PC Flank. Set your cookie options in the privacy section of the browser as shown. Simply deny cookies at PC Flank.
Thanks Ronjor, good info. i had the same problem with Cookie Crusher and didn't know why. It crashed my system and I uninstalled it. Look's like a nice utility but couldn't get it to work with FF. Since we're on the subject of cookies, is it necessary to have a program like CC when you are using FF. I don't know the program at all, but it looked very powerful as to controling the cookie issue. The reason I ask specifically with FF, is their way sufficient to handle cookies? Or do we still need a stand a lone product? I will appreciate your advice. Thanks, Rilla927
In my opinion, no. Firefox does a great job with cookies. I have Cookiepal, which I have used for years, and it is inactive.
I agree with Ronjor on Fx ability to handle cookies where it's not necessary for additional programs but I also use one extension (CookieCuller) https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...&category=Privacy and Security&numpg=10&id=82 I then set it to 'protect' some useful permanent cookies I need and all other (under options) delete on startup of Fx.
Cookie Crusher has still prompted me several times to allow or reject cookies from Firefox from I am assuming tracking sites. I did notice that cookie crusher does take up some resources as I seen it very high in the top 30 MB's. dja2k
Thanks Ronjor for your response. I guess I won't have to install Adaware SE Pro! I'm just learning FF and I'm really pleased with it. Thanks guy's for the additional response's. Wilders Security Rock's! Rilla927
