Can't Clear Browser History After 3.1.3 Upgrade
I recently upgraded to 3.1.3 on my 32GB iPod Touch. Now, I can't clear the Safari history. I can go to History in Safari, and "Clear" it. I then go to Settings-Safari and Clear the History, Cache and Cookies there. When I go back to Safari, the History page is clear, but the "Back" arrow on the bottom left of the main browsing page still goes back thru all the recently viewed pages. Why can't this history be cleared??
I appreciate your response, but I have tried this page. It tells me to do exactly what I have been doing. -- To download link your iPod to iTunes, and click on update, and you will have the option to buy the upgrade, but it doesn't give me that option. I have tried multiple computers, with iTunes on it.. and get the same result each time.

Crashes when I attempt to clear browser history;temp fix:I use IObit Security to clean browsing history,cannot clean it all,cleans most,I am then able to clear the rest of my history thru Firefox;I thought this info would help solve the problem
Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.

Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing. -
All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this? I have turned off Browsing History.
Firefox doesn't bookmark pages automatically to the Unsorted folder unless you click the star on the location bar.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I go to 'Tools' click 'clear browsing history'. Nothing happens and when I try to shut down the page, the 'Programme not responding' box appears.

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

How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App
Darrell,
Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you? -

Accidentally shut down the pc and firefox did not come back with option restore previous session at the first screen even in History-Restory previous session is Grey. My settings are clean history after firefox is closed.
Is there any change to get back on my Tabs from previous session even the history browsing was cleaned? I would appreciate your help!In general FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarted after a shutdown.
1. Kill Shutdown
This happens when the FireFox process is terminated with a TerminateProcess() call or if the FireFox process crashes. It is a dirty exit, no clean-up is done. When restarted after this FireFox will show a "Well this is embarrassing" dialog with options to restore selected parts of the previous session.
2. Force Shutdown
This happens when another process asks FireFox to shutdown cleanly (such as a PC restart) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask the user for confirmation. Normally, when this type of shutdown occurs, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set to automatically delete history on shutdown, it can't. I suspect this is your situation. I would suggest to the FF team that deleting history should be skipped in this case, only a user shutdown should delete history.
3. User shutdown.
This is when the user tells Firefox to close down (by selecting Exit or closing all tabs etc..). Confirmation is asked to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). On restart, nothing is restored.
Unfortunately, if you have auto clear history enabled, there's no way to recover the previous session. Sorry. -
Ive always wanted my history cleared, however, when sometimes i use public computers, you dont want anyone restoring your browse history especially when what you are browsing are extremely important sites
I may have hoped a public computer would give you a private account or a temporary one that would clear after use. Have a read of these two articles they should help explain the available options:
* [[private browsing]] <-- clickable link -- (blue) --
*[[clear recent history]] (this includes other linked articles)
There are limits to what you can hide, but you need not leave info lying around for other users to look at. -
Is it possible to recover safari browsing history after history has been cleared?
I have a 2012 iMac running Mavericks OSX 10.9.4 with a Seagate Backup Plus connected with Time Machine. I would like to restore safari browsing history to view some web pages from about two weeks ago. Safari history has been cleared. I think I need the history cache and or the history.plist but I'm not sure. I have 2 data recovery apps. One is Stellar Phoenix Mac data recovery and the other is Seagate file recovery for Mac. I just don't know if those are the correct files and if they may still be somewhere that they can be found in a still usable form.
I have searched this question on the web and found several answers that had step by step instructions on how to accomplish the task but none of the methods actually worked. The claims were all talking about older operating systems however.
Can anyone help? Is it possible?Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "History.plist" in that folder from a snapshot taken on the day in question, or the first available day afterwards. -
I am looking to lock my browsing history, so that other people cannot clear the history without my permission.
You most likely have 'Restrictions' enabled on websites. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions and check if it says 'On'. If it does, enter you PIN and go to the 'Allowed Content' section. Under this section there is an entry for 'Websites'. Tap this and select the 'All Websites' option.
This should bring back the Clear History button as well as the Private browsing button.
This is actually quite clever on part of Apple. This is a form of parental control where you enable restrictions on the websites that can be visited and then obviously you would want to check on the actual websites that have been visited. Hence, Apple disables the Clear History and Private browsing options. Apple obviously has hidden this fact, deep. There could be a better way of doing this but, this is what we have for the time being. -
Started to clear browse history and now I can't open Firefox at all for the past four hours
I am on a MacBook Pro and recently was prompted to upgrade Firefox. Since the upgrade, I found surfing the internet harder as I frequently found Firefox...not crashing...but it would get stuck trying to open up or to open up a new page or site. I looked this up in Firefox support and found something called "hanging" and this sounded like what I was experiencing. Looking through I tried finding the various solutions. Nothing helped. I did try to clear the browsing history. Each time I tried that, it locked up with the spinning thinking wheel. Then, I tried resetting the preferences to clear on exit and then exited. Ever since then, I cannot get Firefox to launch to the internet at all. I get "not responsive" on a right-click. Please help. I love my Firefox. - Lynda

Clear browsing history does not respond
When I want to clear my browsing history using Clear Privare Data, Firefox does not respond. It clears the search history ok.
== Only a few days ago: 7th May approx.Hello Guy.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? -
When I configure
Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

I used to be able to see a full page of browser history by day, sort it, optionally delete items and/or go to those pages. now it seems all I can do it go to the webpage or delete ALL recent history.
You can either open the History sidebar or open the History Manager (Library) via 3-bar Firefox menu button > History.
*You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar off/on via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or "Ctrl+B" (Command+B on Mac)
*You can toggle the History sidebar off/on via "View > Sidebar > History" or "Ctrl+H" (Command+H on Mac)
You can use the Classic Theme Restorer extension to find toolbar buttons to open the sidebar in the Customize palette (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize).
