You can only block all history in Private Browsing, pages you visit, and autofill.

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?

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.
Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

When I try to clear browsing history the page locks up and I get a 'programme not responding' message

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.

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.

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

Problem importing browsing history from Safari & Chrome

I used the ‘import data from another browser’ to import my browsing history from Safari & Chrome, but only some (and not all of it) showed up. Any tips would be welcome. Thank you!

Maybe you have been modifying your Firefox History, & or are modifying the files you are trying to import.

Why can't I clear my browsing history in safari

I am trying to clear my browsing history on my iPhone 4 but the bit ton is gray and won't allow me to select it in either the settings menu or in the actual browser. I also tries putting my safari app into private mode but for some reason cannot find the button... It should be in safari at the bottom when I choose to look at multiple tabs (or at least that's where I have always found it) but I don't see it anywhere. I am not sure if this is a problem with the new iOS update I just got or if I somehow changed my settings somewhere to not allow these functions but it is really annoying not being able to clear my history... Please help me figure out how to fix this

Hi,
Once you delete your History, make sure you fill it back up again!
Go to www.fillmyhistory.com for a quick, easy and safe way to fill up your browser.
Nothing is more suspicious than an empy Internet History!

How can I lock "clear history" on my iPad Safari, so that you need a password to clear browsing history?

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.

IPad auto deleting browser history in safari

My partners iPad(1) 16GB WiFi (Firmware 4.3.3) is deleting all browser history sparadically. For example it was there for 1 week and then deleted for 2 days running. Is this a reported fault or are they just manually clearing the history to hide stuff?

Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

Restoring Browsing History in Safari 8.0

So, in an attempt to fix some of the problems that my OS X had, I deleted my Safari browsing history through "Clear History and Website Data", which I thought was no problem, since I am using Time Machine, and have my history backed up. The only problem is that now, I have no idea which file/folder I should restore. I tried looking it up, and there were indications that I should restore Users/User/Library/Safari/History.plist, which I already tried to do, but to no avail.
So far I have tried the following:
I have tried restoring the whole Safari folder under /Users/User/Library/, which practically gave me nothing.
I also tried removing History.db and History.db-wal from the aforementioned folder, which seems to work, but only for a second before Safari actually catches the trick, and then somehow loads out the old history and loads in the new history. Apparently, /Users/User/Library/Safari isn't the only folder which Safari checks.
Any suggestions that might help solve the problem?

You need to quit Safari, then restore only the History.db file. Delete the other files with names beginning in "History". Obviously, you must restore from a snapshot that predates the unwanted changes.

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.

Do App Tabs work if I automatically clear browsing history when I clost FF?

I have my privacy settings such that everything clears when I close FF. Do I have to keep my browsing history in order for App Tabs to work? Right now, they don't reappear when I start FF, but I'm not sure which box to uncheck on the "clear history" list.

Tap the two square on top right for Private Browsing.

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.

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?

How to Export browsing history in Safari.

It took me a while to find this out so I thought I'd share it and save other people the hassle...
1. Open Finder.
2. Select 'Go' from the menu at the top of the screen.
3. Select 'Go To Folder'.
4. Type '~/Library/Safari'
5. The contents of this folder have your bookmarks, reading list and browsing history, so you can copy the lot and take it to a new machine (or just have them as a backup). Apparently it's the '.plist' files that hold the history itself, but if you copy the lot then you've got yourself covered.
Hopefully this is of use to people.

The Go To operation to open the (hidden) Library folder was great. I am moving between Macs, and the corporate setup means I cannot just import my settings from my older system. This helped me move everything for Safari. Thank you!

Firefox 4 forgets all my APP TAB tabs when configured to automatically clear browsing history when Firefox closes? Not much of a feature!

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.
