Can I prevent history from being cleared to help keep tabs on my teenagers?

I want to find out if I can prevent history from being cleared.
Also, I want to find out if the "Forget about this site" can be disabled.
I'm running Firefox 4

It's a much discussed topic. If you really don't want cookies stored, Firefox does a better job for surfing the net.
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser — Free Download
Good to have a backup browser installed regardless in case you have problems with Safari.

  • How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

    How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

    Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • I want to prevent history from being erases and prevent settings from being changed

    I supervise the macs for a club and our policy is no nudity (porno,) lately we have been having a lot of trouble with that and in trying to track the culprits, they have started deleting the history. how can I prevent them viewing porno and /or prevent them from erasing the history? this has become a huge issue, we even have one person who has ended up in jail because of this.

    You can't really prevent people from erasing the history. You will have to install a router with a (password protected) logging feature and reroute all computers through that router.
    You posted with a Firefox 2.0.0.20 version, so I assume that the computer run an older Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier version.<br />
    Are all computers old Macs that still have a Mac OS X 10.3.x or lower?

  • How can I prevent Applications from being copied to external drive?

    Hello,
    Just a quick one...
    I run a studio in an education evironment. We've got quite a lot of software installed on our machines (Mac OS X 10.7.4) and there's always the chance that students will copy applications from the Applications folder onto an external drive to take home!
    Obviously this is becoming increasingly easy with large USB sticks and Applications which are entirely contained in the Applications folder.
    Is there any way that students can still run these applications during class but prevent them from copying the whole applications?
    With thanks in advance,
    Lawrence

    You can hide the Applications folder, but it isn't a total solution. Open Terminal and type:
    cd /
    sudo chflags hidden /Applications

  • How can I prevent breadcrumbs from being used on the first page?

    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of the technical communication suite to produce a WebHelp
    layout from a framemaker book. Thanks to all the help I've received so far it's proceeding
    well, although slowly.
    II have an initia l'home'  page, that isn't present in the TOC, just with a program logo, a company
    logo and a helpdesk address. How can I stop breadcrumbs from appearing on this page?
    I'm happy for this to be the Home page and to keep the word Home, and it is a separate
    document in the linked framemaker book.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Karen

    Hi Karen
    To each his or her own. Jeff's approach certainly will work but will require you to repeat the process each time you generate. With the approach I outlined you would only need to do things once.
    As for the breadcrumbs not appearing at all, it depends on *WHERE* in the Master Page you elected to add them. In order for the approach I outlined to work, you need to ensure you add the placeholder *OUTSIDE* the Body placeholder. Then you should see breadcrumbs on the pages you have associated with the Master Page.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I prevent Firefox from being on top of Thunderbird?

    For example, Tbird is open and on top of Firefox, which is open. I click to Forward a message, then address it. Then click to Send. The Forward screen closes and instead of going back to the Tbird messages screen, it goes back to Firefox. How can I stop this from happening?

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • How can I prevent Messages from being archived?

    I don't want my OS X Messages to be archived, period. Is there a way to prevent that? If not, is there a way to encrypt the archive folders?

    HI,
    Saved Chats and iMessages are saved in the ~/Library/Messages folder.
    This folder contains another folder called Archives and this holds the Saved Chats be they iMessages or other service Chats.
    In Messages > Preferences > Messages untick the Save Chats on Closing if you don't want to save Chats/Conversations.
    What this will not do though, is stop the chat.db item you see in the Messages Folder from holding the "history" to iMessages conversations.
    The chat.db item can be viewed in Quick Look although it is not that easy to read.
    The ~/Library is hidden by default although fairly easily accessed by holding the ALT key down when using the Finder > Go Menu.
    I am afraid I know nothing about Encrypting individual folders.

  • Can't prevent books from being synced from iPhone to Mac

    Now that we have iCloud I can finally return my iTunes into being just a music jukebox. Apps, books, tv shows don't belong in iTunes in my Mac.
    I have been able to clear everything that is not audio from my iTunes. Keeping just music and audiobooks. Except for Books.
    Every time my iTunes syncs my iPhone through WiFi with iTunes it brings the purchased books back from the iPhone.
    If I uncheck the box to sync books, next time it rechecks it by itself and re-adds those books. Its quite frustrating. Then the books tab in the sidebar re-appers.
    I am assuming this is a bug. Anyone else having this issue? I looking forward for what I think will be iTunes 11 redesigned with iCloud in mind.

    Welp, I found a silly but working solution. Check out the post from RuleRulez on this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404369?start=15&tstart=0
    Basically, connect the phone to iTunes, go to the Info tab, and check the box to sync mail settings. It doesn't sync any accounts, only the settings for the accounts that are on both devices. Fixed mine. Crazy.
    Anyway, good luck! Hope that helps you guys!

  • How i can i prevent Apps from being dragged out from dock?

    Before Mavericks i once applied some switch via command line that prevented removing Applications via dragging out.
    But this way it still allowed changing the order or still allowed remvoing via right-click menu.
    Sadly i cannot find the command anymore and all solutions i found after googling use the immutable boolean which results in a completely statically locked Dock. But this is not what i'm looking for.
    How can i specifically disable the drag-out removal of Apps from the Dock?
    Thanks!

    You can't. You can only "hide" them.

  • HT204022 Can I prevent photos from being deleted accidentally?

    Sometimes my kids will delete photos from photo stream, is there a way to lock them so I can save them first?

    There's no way to lock them.  One precaution is to save a copy to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).  Once in the camera roll, you can import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • How can I prevent songs from being duplicated when adding them to my iPod?

    One feature I really like about iTunes is that if you have a song on a playlist, iTunes will notify you if you are adding a duplicate song to that playlist. I am looking for the same help managing my iPod.
    For example if I have a playlist in iTunes called "AAA" and a corresponding playlist on my iPod called "AAA", my aim is to have the same content on each. If it is a playlist that I update/change on an ongoing basis on my iTunes, my issue is that I have to remember what songs I have updated or deleted off of this playlist in order to avoid duplicated songs when I have my iPod plugged in.
    I would like to just drag this "AAA" playlist from iTunes to my iPod and have just the new songs be added to the "AAA" playlist on my iPod.
    Hopefully there something I'm overlooking and therefore a way to constrict what is added to the iPod. If you know how to do this, please let me know because this would make iPod music management just as great as iTunes management.
    THANKS!

    I turned off "manually manage music and videos" years ago and sync my iPods by syncing "selected playlists". Any playlist changes I make on the Mac are automatically synced to the iPods when connected.

  • How can I prevent commas from being entered in the zip code field?

    I tried entering the following validation on the Bill To Address field but it did not work. Not sure if it's because the address fields are grouped together.
    NOT(InStr([<PrimaryBillToPostalCode>], ',') > 0 AND [<PrimaryBillToCountry>] = 'USA')

    The Billing and Shipping fields are links to the address records in the adress table. Validation will not work on them. The only avenue that I can find to try to accomplish this would be to have workflow that monitors the address fields and takes action accordingly. That workflow can always set the Country to USA and it could also update the Address field or whatever field you are monitoring for commas.
    Good Luck,
    Thom

  • Preventing Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs.

    How can I prevent Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs?

    Welcome Mr. Lutz,
    Note: This is for Windows version of iTunes because this is the OS I'm running. Even with diferent OSes, the process should be similar enough.
    1.Open iTunes
    2.Connect your iPod
    3.Highlight it in the source list
    4.Go to Edit, then Preferences
    5.Click on the iPod tab
    6.Click on Automatically update selected playlists only
    7.Click which playlists you want on your iPod
    8.Switch to the Podcast tab
    9.Select automatically update all podcasts
    10.Click OK
    11.Disconnect your iPod
    12.Now, follow steps 1-7 with one of your daughter's iPods.
    13.Now, switch to the Podcast tab
    and select Do not update podcasts
    14.Click OK
    15.Disconnect the iPod.(Repeat Steps 12-15 with the other mini.
    This should allow your iPod to update your songs and podcasts, and allow your daughters to update their songs and no podcasts.
    Happy iPodding,
