User Accounts / Firefox troubles
 

Since all of my accounts went down in a matter of a few days I am working on all new accounts, new laptop, new camera, new everything.
Starting from scratch. Here is my question.

I created 3 new user accounts and downloaded Firefox on them all and also downloaded even ccleaner, set up emails, connections etc.

I switched from the 3rd one back to the first one and everything is gone, all that work is totally gone, connections, firefox, homepage etc gone.

What am I doing wrong?

And how do I download ccleaner and others one time for all user accounts instead of downloading them every time I create a new user account.

Sorry guy/gals not to tech savvy here and probably an easy answer but I do not want to risk making a mistake.

Thanks!!

What do you mean connections?

Just download and install CCleaner and you should be able to access it within each user. You really don't need it though since you're using different user accounts per eBay account.

I am using all new connections for all users now. Such as aol, dialup, att, cable etc, connections for all accounts will have a different user account and IP.

When I download cc cleaner it only shows up on the account I downloaded it and does not show for the other accounts.

And for some reason when I switch user accounts whatever I did or downloaded is gone and it says setting up your files like it does at the beginning. It is not remembering or saving anything once I leave the account.

Thanks!

Ok, I am using firefox again, very slow on dialup accounts but I will deal with it.
I use cc cleaner all the time. Just a panic thing.

you dont need to clean cookies every time u load a browser. It's only if your using multiple or creating multiples through the same user account.
If your using seperate user accounts on windows, let the cookies stay, paypal/ebay like their cookies there.

fair play greg your a busy person on here very good advice as always

if your deleting your cookies everytime you load your browser your "i think" raising eyebrows. Once the account is open and clean of any traces from your previous suspensions, change your ip then stick to that ip and keep cookies in tact until you decide to change accounts or you get suspended ;)

but if a user has multiple accounts will deleting cookies each time they change xp account cause issues woth paypal/ebay?

thanks

HI:
EBAY-S:
When you download--why cant you save as.. C;\--so it saves at the Root?
Then when install--For "ALL USERS"..maybe this was your question??

yes it may do, thats why it's best to create seperate user accounts on windows, thus not delting cookies like a loon :)

ok so if i create multiple account do i need to delete cookies each time i logout/change xp account

i though i did?

Noel

If you have a seperate windows xp user account for each ebay/paypal account, theres no need to wipe cookies. Regarding ip changes for logins im not sure about that. I think it's ok to use the same ip to login to multiple acc's but i wouldnt take the risk incase 1 drops and then they all get connected.

If you are however accessing all the accounts via a single username on your pc then yes wipe cookies/change ip etc.

EBHL- Yes, the original question was about switching between user accounts, when I do everything is gone, not just what I downloaded but also all the setups, the connections, everything is gone from the way I left it when I switched over to another user account.

So, its not cookies I am worried about, it's why would all my user accounts not remember the previous information and act like a new user account?

Shouldnt a user account stay the same when you leave it and go back to it?

HI: MAYBE...
Theres a SAVE on exit setting if you right click on the desk top, i believe,,But I am not certain..

NOW--ask me an Easy question--like how can u sell 100 items in a weekend on ebay or something.. :)

how can u sell 100 items in a weekend on ebay ?

thanx in advance!

my question when you have multiple accounts (and use multiple xp profiles) and switch between these do you need to delete all data cookies etc

Also do you need to change ip addresses between xp(ebay accounts)

Thanks all
Noel

You do not need to delete cookies if using separate xp users. That's the whole point in using separate users, it keeps your cookies and flash objects separate.

But you 100% need to change your IP address between users. You can not use the same IP address for multiple users, that will link you.

even when using aol?
i thought aol was 'accepted' my ebay -- yes?

Noel i asnswered this twice above, why are people on this forum like broken records?

Aspkin, you say it will link you. It will only link you if you get busted on 1 account. You can run multiple accounts all on 1 ip just fine but if any upsets expect them all to go down :)

I know you know this, but just wanted to make the point straighter :p

Quick question...
If you make multiple accounts using one IP addy and once of those accounts get suspended but you dont log into any of the other ones after you created it, can you change ip addys and use a different account you created with an old ip addy? If this does not make sense to anyone let me know...I dont even know if it makes sense to me :)

no, they will all go down as they all have the same ip when created. Basic rule that is mate :)

No, they will Link you anyways... and yes if one goes down all LINKED accounts will go down as well...

That is what I figured but just checking to make sure. You all know a lot more than I do so I figured I would ask. The more info you have the more money you can make...thats a rule I go by anyways :)

Aspkin, you can make upteen accounts on 1 ip aslong as their in good standing order. Same Address but diff name, i.e Sisters, Brothers, Father's etc.

A family household is not restricted to one account. If however one account encounters problems then all accounts will be taken down.

Example i have been through when i lived at my mothers a few years back.

Mum had an account, Sister had an account, i had 2 accounts maybe 3.
I becamse a victim of fraud through ebay where i was scammed out of £800, paypal was in red, neg feedbacks flooded in as i was young, no sense, was dropshipping, i couldnt do anything but refund them and be in the red with paypal.

I dont think back then paypal was linked to ebay, but because of the bad feedbacks etc high risk stuff i was selling also i was suspended, few days/weeks later, mum and sister were banned.

They did however after about 5 years of moaning to me that they couldnt sell on ebay etc etc as my mum was addicted, you know what their like selling everything they could find. They are back on, same isp, same address, same tel, same names the lot, ive moved out they have been trading now for a few years no probs ;)

but if u dont want all of your accounts to drop dead when one gets suspended common sense tells you to create all accounts with a new ip and new everything ;) Like the book says.


Asp sorry for being an argumentitive swine, it's just i have been through it ;) And i dont think ebay are that tight to just allow 1 account per household.

Yes, because they're linked.. :)

How did we go from downloading of software so you can use it on all user accounts to cookies?

The original question was how do I download something and be able to use it on all user accounts.

I have a ton of user accounts, all with different names, IP's, etc and when I download something like Firefox it will only download it to the current user account and not the other accounts.

And when I switch user accounts everything is gone, all the setups, the connections, the software etc are gone. Anything I did on a user account previously is gone.

Cookies are easy folks, there is a sticky that describes it well.

Now for the other questions that are off topic, why the heck would you want to do all that work creating various ebay accounts and risk losing them all when one goes down, they ALL will be gone.

I'm not disputing you can have multiple eBay accounts with just one IP address. Sure you can but the accounts will be linked.

It's not the best way to do things; it's a waste of time and money if one of your accounts gets taken down, and in doing so it takes your other accounts with it. I don't recommend using just one IP address for all your accounts.

Sorry, just trying to correct a few statements.

I do that often, my fault.

hehe, i know they get linked, Dont make me sound like a "noob" asp!
Just saying you "can" do it. But yeah it's a waste of time and money!

I feel a "noob" where's the noob feeling button,image, icon thing :p

Aspkin you are allowed to break topic, you own the site !!

Greg, don't feel bad, everyone is a "noob", I learn something new everyday.

i only wanted to calrify this as is a critical issue which i think is fair enough

Thanks for all info
Noel

Nothing wrong with clarifying at all, mistakes are costly and I understand.

Cookies are covered bigtime in a sticky at the top.

OK, so back to the OP's Question.....

>>HOw does one download Mozilla Firefox to Windows--and have it be able to be accessed by ALL user accts?
>> My suggestion was to open, and install to C;/, then allow-ALL USers..
--What else????

Does all of this become moot point if ebay is truly able to begin to identify the particular computer you are or are not using?
