Can't clear drop down in second bar of firefox browser (history) tried all the usual procedures

On the left side in the second bar of firefox browser is a small box that when you click on the arrow drop down occurs with past history. I cannot clear this no matter what I do using all the conventional procedures any suggestions? This is a mac os x

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

    Is your printer selected? <br />
    Is '''Print to File''' selected, where the web page is being printed to a file and not being sent to your printer?

  • Can't clear drop down addresses

    Hi all ... i have cleared history and emptied the cache and re-set safari but when I type in a character in the address window it still drops down all the sites I've visited ... I want to clear this out ... anyone any ideas please ... Roger

    There is no way to turn off URL Autocomplete. Autocomplete gets its data from the cache, History, and Bookmarks. The only way to minimize autocomplete is to periodically clear the cache and History and to go through your Bookmarks and delete old and seldom used ones, including those created when Safari was first installed.
    One work-around is to add an extra blank space when you are done typing in the address. All the various alternatives will then disappear.
    You can add your voice to all the others who want to turn autocomplete off by requesting a toggle in Preferences by sending a feature request via "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.

  • I can't clear single item in Location Bar History

    I can't clear single item in Location Bar History. I use Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac 10.6.5.
    I do select the item in location bar, press Shift and delete keys, but it delete the item only temporary...
    My Firefox Privacy pref indicate:
    - Use custom settings for history
    - Suggest History when using location bar

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the Edit This Bookmark dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark.<br />
    This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why i can't open drop down in photoshop cc

    hello,
    why i can't open drop down in photoshop cc?

    You need to supply more information before anyone can answer that.
    What operating system are you using?
    What exactly are you trying to do? What drop-down won't open?  It might be useful to upload a screen grab of your Photoshop workspace and image.  Upload at full resolution please.

    Writelady,
    I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
    I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    I hope that this helps,

    As with previous posts this is usually a DHCP issue and occurs frequently especially with routers connected to Cable Modems or those Micro-Cell towers.
    Unplug all Routers, AirPorts (or other off brand Wi-Fi broadcast units) and any other Wireless broadcast unit that might provide you with a WDS (often other AirPorts feeding off the signal of the AirPort closest to Cable/DSL Modem) and best to totally power down the Unit affected; lastly either hold a reset button on Cable/DSL modem for 30-45 seconds or actually power it down if an option (not suppose to power down Cable Modems that have Telephony for some odd never completely explained to me reason).
    Let Cable/DSL Modem re-boot till 'all green lights'. Then power up each device involved in order from closest to farthest waiting each time for completion of initiation. Micro-cell towers can take 10 minutes to completely re-boot and you must wait for across the board green lights in my experience. Even WDS can add a few minutes till all green on mother AirPort unit.
    Only NOW may you re-start the offending device and see if it will connect. Works about 99% of the time!

  • My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

    After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

    No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
    I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.
