Can I clear the history on exiting firefox?

I'd like to clear my browsing history when exiting Firefox, and I don't find any way to do this.
Is it possible?

That setting is on the Privacy tab in Options.
History - Firefox will: '''Use custom settings for history''' - that has to be selected to be able to see the custom settings.

Is there a way to save history permanently in firefox even if someone clear the history? or can I retrieve my all history again?

I want to save my history permanently in Mozilla, and if someone clear the history, is there a way to retrieve it again?

Bookmarks and browsing history are stored by firefox in this file the you can try in the [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]] :
bookmarks.html (Firefox 2) - Bookmarks
history.dat (Firefox 2) - Browsing history of previously visited websites
places.sqlite (Firefox 3) - Bookmarks and browsing history. Note that Firefox 3 stores both bookmarks and browsing history in the places.sqlite file.
You can alternately import a bookmarks HTML file if you wish to add those bookmarks to your current Firefox bookmarks. In Firefox 3, you can also use the Firefox Library "Restore" feature to replace your current bookmarks with a bookmark backup file (such as a dated JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of another Firefox 3 profile) but this will not transfer your browsing history.

Even though I have ordered Firefox to clear my entire browsing history and cookies when it closes, it is not doing so when I exit. I have to manually clear the history and cookies each time.

I am running Firefox 10.0.2 for Linux, and have never had this problem with previous versions. I wonder if it is an issue of Firefox not quitting completely when I close it...meaning it would not clear the history and cookies because it is not technically shut down. This is just a theory, however. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestion. I made sure the prefs.js file had read and write permissions, and since then it seems to be saving my settings and deleting all the information I ordered it to on exit.
Thanks for your help! This was a minor problem, but it's nice to know that everything is working the way it's supposed to now.

My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot open a website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot login to my e mail website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

I simply reinstalled fire fox 3.6.19 and I can login no problem. Seems like it could be a compatability problem between 5.0 and windows 7. One other thing that happened often was lag while playing mmorpg games. Not sure if this fixed it or not, but I can update this thread when i find out.
Thank you to who ever provided the link to the older fire fox downloads page in another question thread.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
This does not always work though.

I have Safari on an HP desktop running Windows 7, 64-bit. When I want to clear the history from Safari, the "Reset Top Sites Also" button is always checked. This can cause problems. Any way to have it unchecked all the time?

Try to exclude the cookies from the clear history settings and let the cookies expire at the end of the session instead.

Restore the entire device from the most recent backup (hopefully created prior to erasing the converstation history). This will put the ENTIRE device back exactly as it was when the backup was created.

The address bar shows pages I have previously entered manually, and then cleared the history of all this pages and pages connected with it.

1. I enter the page in the address bar (i.e.: cnn.com)
2. I click on some of the links in the page - the address of the main page is still the same (i.e.: i click on some of the articles on cnn.com)
3. I search the history and delete/clear all pages that have same main page (i.e.: all pages with address cnn.com - main page and all articles,...)
In the address bar in ff 14 I can still find the entered page (i.e.: cnn.com), in ff 13 that didn't happen - when clearing the history that page was gone in address bar too. This happens mainly with the pages i enter manually in the address bar.

After clearing the history normally, you can try to exit and restart Firefox, ideally with a single tab and check before visiting the site. If the site appears, then it could have been bookmarked. You can also try to check the bookmarks for the site or its sub domains.
If the problem persists, you can also check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].

I can't clear recent history. It worked on 6.0 but on 6.0.2 I can't do this. Also my bookmarks are lost. How can I fix it? Old bookmark archives don't work. Error: Can't read data.

The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I can not open the history even of today and see

5/8/10
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
• I thank you all each and every person, ladies and gentleman who are connected with Mozilla Firefox in any manner and who have contributed for its development and any other who is in any way even concerned and every well wisher of Mozilla. My good wishes for all of them and for their work that it has become so popular and every one of them has laboured selflessly and without any money angle for that and that is the best thing. Such selfless work must be appreciated by each and all.
• My earlier suggestion for accepting cheques from those who like me do not have any cr. card has still not been accepted.
• You please incorporate features from other good programmes as these are still not there in FireFox and I am using only this since when I first installed it and I do not intend to use any other but these features as I remember were available few years back are still not there in Mozilla so today there should be many more features which can be incorporated in Firefox.
• When the connection is on but not opened i.e. the connection has been switched on but not opened i.e. the modem lights are on and not off then if I go back to a page opened then the Firefox shows loading problem but if I switch off the modem then I can access that very same page. This should be taken care of so that even if I switch on the modem but the connection is not on even then I should be able to see the page 1 or 2 or many pages backwards.
• Then I can not open the history even of today and see that page whereas earlier I could click any history page and it showed even if it was 5 days old (which is my setting) and I have not changed any setting.
• I also thank the all add-on creators because I have installed very few but even then these are very useful.
• I would also suggest that you incorporate these add-ons in the FireFox itself for example I suggested many moons back that let there be a system of any number of tabs being opened (and a few more suggestions) and it is available as add –on in tab mix plus which I have now installed.
• I also request to everyone concerned to give his ideas as to what other features can be incorporated in Firefox and these suggestions be on your website and after a certain number of well wishers and users select the idea you please either develop it yourselves or any well wisher can do it and then it can be incorporated in the Firefox.
• I also give you my suggestion which is not available presently to my knowledge in the browser or add-ons this is that if I move a window in tab mix plus then it is always in a window for each tab but instead of that my suggestion is that I should be able to move any no. of tabs or any other tab to one particular window only and that too in any manner I like in any sequence like at a particular No. of tab say 15th etc.
• I also feel presently having some problem that when I shut down the computer after save and quit pages that are there are not reopened. Loading problem in those pages appears I do not know the reason but Firefox should be able to show all the last page/pages/window/windows I was perusing after I saved and quit.
Thanking you,
Best wishes for all of you.
Yours sincerely,
DS

Hi,
Please provide more details about your computer along with the graphics card. Also, A log file might help identify the cause of the crash. Please right-click 'My Computer', select "Manage," look under 'Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application' to see if there's an event there from Premiere Pro. If so, copy the contents of that log and paste them here.
Thanks,
