Valerie, I guess this would be the best time to review your Win10 control settings again; among the many 'fixes' ( a term that's now loosely used ) to disable Cortana is done from a step-to-step guide from the PCWorld Tech article, as seen at: How to disable Cortana in Windows 10

But you're not going to like this ( "Dun-dun-duunn..." ) -- Here's the catch: whether or not a user has opted-out services/apps from Win10 ( Cortana, being one of them ), Win10 still transmits data back to the M$ servers -- this is what the Telemetry security updates do

It has been documented from the Arstechnica Tech Blog, as seen at: Even when told not to, Windows 10 just can’t stop talking to Microsoft | Ars Technica

Guess it's time to either keep Win10 from being on the Web too long, or invest on a pretty big sledgehammer

Couldn't they do the about:config and change the settings within the FF source code and turn that OFF

Oks lang -- just don't cash out till you're ok to go on; hindi mawawala ang earnings mo -- just make sure that:

(a) your Paypal account is accessed by only you,
(b) you have a very strong password for your Paypal account ( and I mean an Alpha-Numeric mixed password that even your friends or love ones won't imagine using, also ) and,
(c) your connection to Paypal is secured ( I mean, on your browser, when you open the Paypal site, you should see the bright green HTTPS for Paypal -- if it's not green, then your online connection is unsecured )

Pwesent! Pweee~ At anglakas ng ulas ngayong gabi!

Guess I'm late to share my two-cents, but better late than never

I didn't install Win10, and for a good part -- the EULA

Remember the download page that offered the Win10 ISO? Before one gets to click the "I AGREE" button, the EULA is up there, though I'm not sure if anyone would care read the entire agreement; when I got to read the last few paragraphs of that contract, that's when the voices in my head started screaming, and I thank whatever higher power that be, they were right -- I didn't accept, and I didn't continue with the download

Fast-forward now: after keeping tabs from time to time with other tech blogs and forums, threads appear from users having issues; very slow downloading speeds ( it's because MS uses a torrent-like service for the ISO update, so whoever is in your ISP provider, the number of people at the time, affects the downloading speed ), difficulty in installation ( among that Win10 creates another partition alongside your existing OS partition, it tends to replicate itself after a botched installation ) and a host of issues, along in regards to privacy ( what the user can or can't do, which includes control over Windows behavior )

Outlining a few entries from the GHacks Tech Blog:
Questions Microsoft needs to answer before the Windows 10 launch - gHacks Tech News
Windows 10 and Privacy - gHacks Tech News
What is Wi-Fi Sense and should you be using it? - gHacks Tech News
Confirmed: Windows 10 Home users to receive forced updates - gHacks Tech News

If that wasn't enough, now there are Forum threads from users that are having issues of downgrading back; some can't use their previous OS ( once updated to Win10, the user's Authorization Key gets replaced, so even with a factory reset can be a resorted move as what laptops or desktops offer -- reverting back won't be as easy as it was ) or even worse, their gear are reduced to 'paperweights with no OS' -- Remember: you only have less than a month to downgrade back to your previous OS, or risk losing it, keys and legitimate use of your previous OS, completely ( that means, from the very moment you started installing Win10, the timer begins )

As of late, I got to read that M$ has changed it's EULA ( remember that you clicked on the "I AGREE" button? ), and now states it that, as seen at Microsoft reserves right to block counterfeit games and disable unauthorized hardware - gHacks Tech News -- so, think that's not right? Well, you did click on the "I AGREE" button, so that means you agreed to any changes to the EULA

Well, guess I offered a huge wall of text to read; so to make my post a TLDR ( "Too Long Didn't Read" ) quote: Nope, I didn't update, and never will because it ( Win10 ) was too good to be true

And by now you should had listened to that small voice in your heads: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is

Not a software update to post, but something to keep tabs on:

As of late, Mozilla has announced their plans in regards to planned changes to Firefox, as seen at The Future of Developing Firefox Add-ons | Mozilla Add-ons Blog -- but these changes aren't taken lightly

As per Tech blog review at GHacks, as seen at Mozilla's self-destruct course continues: major add-on compatibility changes announced - gHacks Tech News -- highlighted the issues, pros an cons about the planned changes; this was even further reviewed on a new blog post, as seen at Reactions to Mozilla's announcement about upcoming Firefox add-on changes - gHacks Tech News

It comes as well to note that some Firefox Add-on publishers also showed dismay to the move; among those are from Federico Parodi and Stepano verna, the publishers of DownThemAll ( as seen at DownThemAll! » The likely end of DownThemAll? ) and Giorgio, Author/Publisher for NoScript ( as seen at hackademix.net » WebExtensions API & NoScript )

It's uncertain what will happen to Firefox, and the add-ons that have served it's very core that made the browser unique

Guess who wandered off too long this time =D

Buhay pa, pero kaka-corrective eye surgery lately ako a few weeks back, sabay na may issue ako sa ISP ko ( grabe talaga ang net sa Pinas, susmaryosep ) so ayun -- baka di masyado ako magiging active sa Forums

Ingat ka palagi, Ma'am Fe -- and keep your Thread up

Pasensya, mga fellow clickers.. this may be my goodbye ( temporary ) as well -- but alam ko all's in good hands, na kaya ninyong mag-guide sa ibang members bago sa PTC and Tasks

Sa mga Pinoy Forum Regulars, ingat kayo palagi at palagi kayong mag-pinger... este, mag-click! Mag-click!

Thanks, SentinelOnyx

For members having issues, or just don't want the new features ( Pocket, Reader, Call, etc. ) found with the current Firefox browser, you can try this: go to the Mozilla Add-ons ( as seen at: Add-ons for Firefox ) and install the Classic Theme Restorer v1.3.2.1 -- after installing and a quick shutdown/restart of the browser, open the Add-on menu page by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+A -- then click on the add-on's option tab

Now inside the Option tab of the Classic Theme Restorer add-on, make your way to the Advanced tab click-menu and uncheck all the options there -- once these are all unchecked and you click on the OK button, allow the browser to restart to make the changes -- after a few moments, your Firefox browser will be working again, this time without the third-party added programs

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been quite some time for me to be around the Forums these past few weeks -- due to unseen issues, I have been experiencing relatively 'small' issues; well, age is one of them ( I swear if I mistake a toy dog again at the Cat-captcha, it'll be the end of me ) my ISP has been 'uncooperative'

So, guess I wouldn't be as active as I used to be, until the issues I have be resolved soon ( though, about my eyes, that something different altogether ) But knowing the Forums has been, and always been handled with so many members that I have seen through the past weeks before, I know all will be well

To the Forum Regulars that I know of: SentinelOnyx, papamike51, impanjtani, TigerHeart, poiuy123, dukuntekno, ubaidh, BouldRake, proadco, AlienMommy, hyldig, muzzleloader, mclloyd86, fe_abad, Roujette, mahiyain...

( If there are a few names I didn't mention, please bear with me )

To the Mods that I know: valerie, buldan75, ptcscrutiny, jagobal, sp1915, onlinebiz, and ptcseeker ( Oh, can't forget TasMail I still remember you as a Mod )

And to the Great and Powerful Admins Maraming salamat sa inyo ( "Thank you very much to all of you" )

For now, I'll try to log in whenever I can to keep you guys up to date to what I know; any programs worth checking and updating, any blogs that might help the ClixSense Forum users, and maybe tease an occasional new member to 'make virgin goldfish sacrifices to Cthulhu so they can win the ClixGrid' -- so til then:

Ingat kayo palagi ( "Take good care of yourselves" ) and keep on clickin'

Quick Head's up -- In view to the recent update, Mozilla quickly updated Firefox to v38.0.1; the patch update which draws to issues to some members having related technical issues are resolved; the update should be available via automatic/manual update through your browser's system, and offline installers are available at the main publisher's downloading hub

Technical details can be seen at:
Reference source -- Firefox — Notes (38.0.1) — Mozilla

---

EDIT Update: Just of late, there seems to be a component that's present in Mozilla Firefox v38 onwards; checking with tech blogs, the Pocket feature in Firefox is a third-party 'Save-for-later' program ( unfortunately, this service is actually not needed as a whole )

Details of this can be seen at the Ghacks tech blog, along with a step-by-step guide on how to remove the feature; alternatively, you can install the Firefox Add-on Classic Theme Restorer v1.3.2 where, under the Advanced menu tab, scrool down and uncheck the Pocket feature

Offhand Head's up -- for those who have Windows, and have set it on Automatic Update, it would be a good idea to inspect what you have; according to tech blogs, for the Microsoft Security Updates for May 2015, a particular update: kb3022345, installs a Service called the Diagnostics Tracking Service -- based on the database at Microsoft, there's little to vague description in regards to the said update; most tech blogs are recommending that if you have this update, start disabling it from your Services

A comprehensive step-by-step guide can be seen at the GHacks tech blog:
