DOES FIREFOX KEEP A RUNNING HISTORY OF VISITED WEB SITES

DOES FIREFOX KEEP A RECORD OF DOWNLOADS, AND VISITED SITES FROM ITS USERS.

Firefox does not keep a history after you clear yours. I understand what you mean. Firefox does not send your browsing history to Mozilla. However Firefox has components from Google, like Anti-phishing. Due to these Google components, Google Privacy Policy must be followed.

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

You need Flash Player or DivX Player. Both of these programs are used everywhere online; their size is small and will not harm your computer. You should download them from here:
DivX: http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/start
Flash: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/</blockquote></pre>

Every time I go to close Firefox, it goes to the same unwanted web site that I visited yesterday, then i have to close that out to finally exit

Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Visited web site flag

When using Safari when I had visited a linked web site on a page, that used to be flagged with a color change for the link. Just a few days ago that stopped. Visited web sites are no longer flagged in this manner. What has changed and how do I fix this? Is it something I can fix or is it controlled somewhere else? It's very frustrating as I depend on being able to see what I have already visited and what I have not yet visited.
I am running Safari 8.0.2 on a Mac mini running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

From your ip address. Each ip address is assigned a geographical location, so if you look up the ip address you get a rough idea of where it is located. On tiger there is a dashboard widget called "IP Locator", try that with your ip address and see what you get.
To get your true IP address if your ISP is doing NAT or whatever you can find it out by going to http://checkip.dyndns.org/

Is FireFox 3.6.6 compatible with Medicare web site?

is FireFox 3.6.6 compatible with Medicare web site?
== URL of affected sites ==
https://www.mymedicare.gov/default.aspx

What exactly happens when you try to access that site?
Try deleting cookies and cache:
1. Tools| Clear recent history
2. Time range to clear: Everything
3. If it isn't already selected, select '''Cookies''' and '''Cache'''
4. '''Clear now'''
Also see [[Error loading web sites]]

How do I decrease the number of recently visited web sites?

After I installed the latest version of firefox, it lists 20 recently visited web sites. I didn't change the settings, though... Moreover, the recently closed tabs appear above the recently visited tabs (which I didn't change, either). Up until now, I haven't found anything to undo this...

Where do you see those websites?
If it is in the location bar drop down list then reset the pref browser.urlbar.maxRichResults on the about:config page to the default value.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How does one add a photo gallery to my web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the link recognized as a destination file?

How does on add a photo gallery to a web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the file folder which contains the photos, recognized as the "go to location" for the link up?

Ok. So Photos1.htm is the main gallery page.
And it looks like you have sub-folders with images in them like these from 2011 and 2010
LLA Picnic 2011/
photos 2010/

Why can I not get my user ID to "stick" when visiting web sites that I am registered with?

Why can I not get my user ID to "stick" when visiting web sites that I am registered with?

Look in settings, safari. There are two setting that might help, depending on how the website wants to see you. If they are using cookies, make sure your accept cookies switch is on.
Then look at the autofill setting. You can turn names and passwords on or off.

How does firefox keep track of sites visited

When I go the page info tab while on the google home page I notice that it shows the number of times I have visited the web page even though I have cleared all cookies AND flash cookies! Where/Why is this information stored?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Always

The history, along with your bookmarks, is stored in a file called places.sqlite, which includes the date and time you last visited the site and how many times you have visited the site. The details are used by the location bar as shown in the [[location bar autocomplete]] article.
If you do not want it to remember the history details, you can change the settings in the [[Options window - Privacy panel]]

Why does Firefox keep opening 3 random tabs while browsing different websites?

Just to clarify: They are never spam websites. They may be 3 of the same website, but it is always random. I only browse safe websites. This usually happens while Stumbling (StumbleUpon).
For example:
StumbleUpon brought me to this website:
[[http://www.thecreatorsproject.com/blog/5000-fiber-optic-flowers-invade-museum-grounds-in-ifield-of-lighti]]
Then it also opened three of this webpage:
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Earth_Battalion]]
They have nothing to do with each other. Why does this keep happening? I searched with Anti-Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware and Microsoft Security Essentials. No viruses.
I have Windows Vista Home Basics 32-bit. And is running Firefox 8.0. (This problem existed in 7.0 and previous as well.

I've already done this, and it says nothing is wrong with my system.

Why does firefox keep crashing? I ran a scan and there was no spyware or malware. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. It doesn't happen in safe mode.

For some unknown reason firefox keeps crashing on my laptop computer. I mostly just use the internet for surfing and for emailing. It is very frustrating when I am trying to write an email and firefox crashes. I have unistalled and reinstalled firefox. I ran a McAfee scan on the computer and it has no problems with spyware or malware. It doesn't crash in safemode either. I am in safe mode now otherwise it would have crashed multiple times while getting to this page and typing this message.

If Firefox crashes frequently but stops crashing when you are in Safe Mode that is a pretty sure sign that there is something wrong with your individual setup of Firefox on your Windows 7 machine.
(The 99 others claiming to have the same problem this week probably have their own distinct and separate problems - if you are one of those 99 it may make sense to start your own questions about your problems, if you do not see suitable answers).
Many malware problems would continue even in Firefox's [[safe mode]], so the good news is that malware may not be your problem.
Note that safe mode does not disable plugins, you may wish to consider testing with your plugins disabled, just in case they are interacting with something. To temporarily disable plugins use
* '''Firefox button -> Add-ons -> |Plugins|'''
You do not list the Firefox extensions that are in use, maybe one of them is a problem. I suggest you try Firefox with half of them disabled, if that solves the problem, the troublesome add-on may be in the other half, disable them all and then try with half of the other half enabled. (If you have more than a handful of add-ons it is faster testing like that than enabling or disabling one at a time)
One very important question is how do you know Firefox is crashing ? will you please explain exactly what happens, and what if any error messages you are seeing. (If firefox freezes/hangs that may be different from Firefox or the OS crashing, and require different solutions).
On a general note the following articles may help with troubleshooting:
* [[basic troubleshooting]]
* [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29]]
and if the problem is a true crash
* see [[firefox crashes]]

Why does firefox keep changing things up with new versions?

It really bothers me that Firefox keeps changing things, namely the user interface with new versions. They move buttons around like the back / forward, and refresh button. If I don't have the latest version I get prompted to download it each time I open my web browser. Now with this latest update I got a good inch and a half at the top of my screen that should be gray but is transparent and shows my desktop background. Also, I like to right click and 'open link in new' tab a lot, I thought it used to be 'open link in new window' first than 'open link in new tab' second. They switched them around now I'm opening new windows instead of tabs from clicking the second option by habit. Its not that big of a deal but why keep changing it up when I'm comfortable with what I know.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
* [[Mouse shortcuts]]
* [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins by visiting the following link:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, etc.)'''

Why does firefox keep changing colors?

Suddenly the Firefox background color keeps changing (blue, tan, gray) I would like to keep it one constant color. How/ why did this happen today when I changed nothing, and how do I fix this?

Are you using Firefox theme and choose Random theme option?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Why does firefox continue to run after closing it?

I close out of an internet site and then go to another link and I get the box that says "Firefox is still running," I wait and try again and it still tells me this.I try several times,I then reboot and start over.How do I stop this?

Probably a problematic extension can cause the problem, see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it Firefox hangs when you quit it]
thank you
