OpenSuse 13.1 x64

In Chromium and Opera browsers not appear this problem.

Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Skype Buttons for Kopete


I noticed that in some shopping sites always appeared the research that I did. The message was "special recommendations for you!" and also "My browsing history -> Latest searches -> Products I researched".

I cleared all the settings of Firefox but not resolved.

Tests:

1 - Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Tracking -> Do not tell anything about my site tracking preferences

Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> History -> Firefox will: Use custom settings for history / Keep until: I close Firefox

Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Settings -> Settings for Clearing History -> When I quit Firefox, It Should automatically clear all: All selected



2 - Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Tracking -> Do not tell anything about my site tracking preferences

Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> History -> Firefox will: Never remember history


The two tests (1 and 2) continued to appear in my searches shopping sites.


3 - I deleted the hidden directory Firefox -> /home/user/.mozilla - but continued to appear my research.

4 - also I deleted the Firefox cache directory -> /home/user/.cache/mozilla - but continued appearing in my research sites.

5 - I created a new normal user for testing all new settings. The problem still appeared.

6 - Using KFind, looked for the string name of the website to know where it was stored my research and found "Neemu.plugin" the file -> /home/user/.cache/mozilla/firefox/XXXX.default/Cache/0/16/0XX04X0X

var neemuPlugin=neemuPlugin||{};neemuPlugin.version="15_07_2014";neemuPlugin.pageType=undefined;neemuPlugin.hasRec=false;neemuPlugin.recommendation=neemuPlugin.recommendation||{pageType:undefined};var date = new Date();neemuPlugin.timestamp=date.getUTCDate().toString()+date.getUTCMonth().toString()+date.getUTCFullYear().toString();neemuPlugin.srcFileRecomendacao="raas-suba.neemu.com/neemu-recomendacao.js?_="+neemuPlugin.timestamp;neemuPlugin.srcFileRecomendacaoValid="recvalid-suba.neemu.com/neemu-recomendacao.js?_="+neemuPlugin.timestamp;neemuPlugin.AddRec=function(){var a = {home: function () {neemuPlugin.insereRecArea (document.querySelectorAll ("div.columns")
.
.
.

The name of the shopping site was also in the archives:
/home/user/.cache/mozilla/firefox/XXXX.default/Cache/_CACHE_001_

/home/user/.cache/mozilla/firefox/XXXX.default/Cache/_CACHE_003_


Neemu.com : The shorter distance between the desire and the achievement of a happy purchase is in the data.


Disabling plugin Skypebutton, clear cache and restarting Firefox, the privacy problem disappears.

Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Skype Buttons for Kopete -> Never activate
