Penfold 2 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi, Evernote has started opening a browser tab on Firefox start up, would anyone know how to stop this? I have removed 'web clipper' from Firefox but it is still happening, do I have to abandon evernote completely to stop it? Link to comment

Penfold 2 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks for that 'gazumped', it is working but I think I will get rid of evernote completely as I am not happy with some of the settings changes required to get the fix to work. I don't mind the odd advert appearing in 'free' software or occasional emails but having to continually close their web page is a bit irritating. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,643 Posted November 23, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hmmn. If the browser itself is opening up unexpectedly then that's definitely strange anyhow. I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the app to check whether this was an update issue, and if that doesn't resolve the matter, I'd suggest you contact support if you can, or tweet them at @EvernoteHelps.

Penfold 2 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 No, the browser isn't opening unexpectedly but whenever I start it an evernote page opens on a new tab as well as my homepage. The fix, linked to, works but I don't like having the browser set to keep cookies. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,643 Posted November 23, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted November 23, 2016 It's set, as I understand it, only to accept Evernote cookies; and Evernote don't plant adware-style browsing trackers, just a record of the fact that you connect to a certain account. Link to comment
Penfold 2 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I thought from the last bit of the instructions about cookies, " Keep until: they expire" that all cookies would stay on my PC for as long as the sites that set them wanted. I also find that a lot of sites complain if I block 3rd party cookies so I let firefox accept everything but then delete it all every time it closes. Link to comment
