Vyrticl Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 This topic has gone from bringing up an issue with CCleaner, to saying Mastertech doesn't advertise enough, to saying Mastertech lies about who he is. As much as I love reading this topic and laughing, this flaming needs to stop. As for discussion on the actual issue at hand, Mastertech is right in saying if the same version of the OS, IE, and CCleaner are used, every computer will have the same problem. Although if some other program interferes, things may change. I did a quick test and Mastertech is right, using XP SP2, IE 6.0.2900.2180, and Firefox 1.0.6, the issue is only reproducible in Firefox. An easier way to fix it instead of closing Firefox and re-running CCleaner is to just hold down SHIFT while reloading the page. This will force Firefox to download everything from the server rather than using the cache. It would be nice to have CCleaner tell the user to close Firefox before cleaning so it won't happen. And although I probably shouldn't say it, your guide Mastertech does have some things that I'd recommend changing. Do you have a hunger for tweaking? Have a sudden urge of the tweaking munchies and need to take care of it? Check out The Whistling Cricket Tweaking Restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathogen Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I just download CCleaner today while hyper threading, two were using FireFox; lycos.com and http://forums.delphiforums.com/NetworkSecurity, had no problems. BTW thats a nice freeware found it on the second link above. Always looking for newer stuff to play with. Out Of The Inner Circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertech Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 You need to browse some sites or do some searches in Lycos with Firefox, then run CCleaner without closing Firefox. Now try to do the exact same searches again, things like the links will not work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Can I assume you mean sites, oh master? I have seen the sights and they are something,see you later.............know the song? Let's live in peace. We all are prone to err. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertech Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Is this issue being addressed? A new version is released and still no resolution for this. Other "cleaning" programs will let you know your web browser is running. I see Firefox is still enabled by default and selecting it gives no warning.

Moderators rridgely Posted September 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2005 I agree that this needs to be addressed but it isnt a critical problem. Give mr.g some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I agree that this needs to be adressed but it isnt a critical problem. Give mr.g some time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Addressed. This issue could be resolved by prompting that the browsers will be closed before cleaning, then force the closing of them if they say yes.

Greenknight Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Has anyone tested to see if this is still an issue with the new version of Firefox, currently available as the Deerpark alpha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertech Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 No but I can confirm it happens with v1.0.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 No but I can confirm it happens with v1.0.6. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1.0.6 is just a security and stability upgrade of 1.0, 1.5 (now being tested as Deerpark) is a major revision of the browser, including significant changes in how graphics are handled. I don't know if this will involve changing the caching system, though. Since the release of 1.5 is scheduled to take place in a couple months, any revision to CCleaner intended to change the way it interacts with Firefox should be designed for that version.

terrypin Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 v1.17.090 I'm an experienced XP user, but a novice CCleaner user. FF is my deafult browser. Is this issue resolved yet please? I'm about to run CC and would like to know of any downsides! -- Terry, West Sussex, UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfh Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 -Closing Firefox, running CCleaner and reopening Firefox does. Thanks very much, it certainly solved my problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Opening the website that is "broken" and pressing CTRL+F5 fixes it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
