Sorry, i should have explained it a bit better. I have 2 computers: PC 1 is the Unraid Machine PC 2 is my Windows gaming/personal Machine I use PC2 to configure my unraid server (PC 1) and mess with plex/arr's via chrome browser. I open the Firefox docker (a chrome tab opens with firefox) and i have my airline (southwest) check in page as the homepage. I enter my information and a countdown clock starts. When i'm done using PC 2, i shut it down. PC 1 still stays running (it never shuts down). It looks like this before i shutdown PC 2: When i come back the next morning and fire up PC 2 and open chrome, all my unraid tabs (dashboard/plex/arrs/firefox) automatically open and on the firefox browser, the countown clock and the fields i entered are no longer there. It looks like this in the morning (the timer had not expired, it should still have countdown time remaining) My goal with using the docker was so that i could have the browser stay open forever and i could just load all my flight info into it and not worry about remembering to check in. I hope this explains it a bit better. Any ideas? Edit: I just noticed there was a docker container update...i just updated, i'll post if it fixed it.

Djoss Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Also, are you sure it's not the site itself that has an issue when kept open for too long ? Quote Link to comment

I didn't think about that. Any way to track that? I think for the most part i'll just have to set it up the day of....Not the biggest issue in the world. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment
Djoss Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 You can try to open a new tab and start a stop watch at https://www.online-stopwatch.com/. This will at least confirm that there is no issue with Firefox itself. Quote Link to comment

danimal86 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I just checked on it, and the stopwatch had reset itself to the Stopwatch or Countdown homepage. So it seems like it is something with firefox resetting. Quote Link to comment

Yes i do, i remember running into a problem with Lucky Backups that it would disconnect when my appdata backups, nightly. I'll set it to Exclude the Firefox appdata folder during my daily backups. @Djoss I bet this is the problem. Going to try the stopwatch again. Quote Link to comment

Edit: it reset overnight Edited June 2, 2023 by danimal86 Quote Link to comment
danimal86 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Got it figured out. Go into CA Backup Appdata v2.5 and uder the Backlup/Settings tab, go down to the bottom to Show Advanced Settings, and uncheck Firefox to stop when backing up appdata. Quote Link to comment
TheseAreTheBaws Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Is there a timer that resets everything in this sandbox/firefox? Today when i woke up, all bookmarks/history were gone. No backup plugins were running. Running latest version. Best Regards Quote Link to comment
