Drop down history will not clear

no matter what i've tried the drop down history will not clear, the same history has been on there forever

If you wish to stop the History items showing in your location bar dropdowns my original post gave alink to an article explaining you to do that : by using your '''Privacy''' settings . If that fails to work then look at [[Preferences are not saved]]
Firefox keeps say your last 18o days history, so in 10 years time it will still be showing history, even if it is still the last previous 180 days.
Re the variable expiry date for history: this was settable form the main User Interface until very recently, up to about version 3.5, it must now be set using about:config

Since last upgrade internet history will not clear

SSince last upgrade to my iPhone 4 the internet history will not clear. Tried usual things

I think I've worked out how to fix this. I closed iTunes and ran Photos with the Option/Alt key depressed and told it to use the old iPhoto library as the System photo library. This caused Photos to reimport all the old photos into a new Photos library called Photos Library 2.
When I then ran iTunes and connected my iPad, I got a message saying that the photo source had changed and nothing would be synced until I selected the correct option. This did not happen the previous time I ran Photos and imported the old iPhoto library. I'm now syncing using the second Photos library and it all appears to be working.
I suspect that I closed my laptop down during the original conversion of the iPhoto library (thinking it had finished) and this interrupted the process. This time I let it carry on working for four hours before opening iTunes and I suspect that is what made the difference. Of course, I've lost all the photos I added in the last ten days, but I may be able to retrieve them from my backups.

I am using Windows XP and just installed Elements 12. When I try to select a different brush or shape the drop down list will not stay open long enough to select a different item. I have used Elements 9 for awhile and have not had this problem

It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
2. Delete Settings File
Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

Safari history will not clear with open windows

I clear my history on Safari but I found the history doesn't really clear if i have other open windows in safari. Everything in the history bar disappears but when you type in URL in a new window, it will predict from a history that should be erased. I do have a workaround.....I have to close all safari windows, clear history, and that gets everything. I would like to not have to close all windows. This just started happening a month or so ago after I upgraded. Any plans to fix this?

The reason you have a clear history button is so history will be cleared It is not clearing if other windows are open.
Correct. It does not clear if other windows are open. This is how all browsers work.
No other browser works that way.
IE 7.06 tells you you have to close the browser after deleting the history to finish removing the history.

History will not clear using Firefox under Mac OS 10.9.2

Cannot clear the history. No matter what I do, I'm stuck with junk left over in the History drop-down (Sears and Lowes sites always show up). Tried uninstalling/reinstalling without success. The same sites still show up. Tried going to ~Library/Application Support/Firefox but that folder doesn't exist. How can I clear my history, and more importantly be certain my computer is not being loaded up with retained junk left behind by the browser?

You can check the places.sqlite database.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xx.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Drop Down List Will Not Delete

How to clear the awesome bar drop down list. I delete them one by one, yet they are still there. Any suggestions?

Yes this is a bug with Dynamic Forms in 7. There was a post before with a workaround -
Custom Text disappears on exit when using Dynamic Forms

Drop down menus will not change.

When I try to print from my pc, the print menu comes up showing Canon Fax. When I drop down & hit printer line, for a micro second it shows printer than changes back to fax. Started when I updated to Firefox 10. On other sites also can not change drop down choices! All blink on for a micro second then disappear , INCLUDING BELOW LINE "THIS HAPPENED!" !

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Lower drop down bar will not allow the content to be viewed as a page again

When I minimize a page to the drop down bar I am unable to restore the page. I can find it and click on it so it appears as a restored page. However, as soon as I release the mouse button it disappears back to the drop down bar.

Drop-down list will not allow custom entry

I've got a drop down list on my form, with the 'Allow Custom Text Entry' checkbox checked. However, when I attempt to type in custom text, as soon as I focus away from the drop down via tab or clicking on another element, the text that I typed in disappears. The only text that I can get to submit is what is contained in the pre-defined list items. However, when I create a new form with nothing but the drop-down, it works fine...

Drop down selection will not populate in firefox

Hi, I am developing an internal website. Today I downloaded Firefox 21 (FF21) and installed it. When I loaded up the internal website the default page (default.cshtml) load properly but the first of 4 cascading dropdown boxes does not populate.
This website is hosted on a Win 2008 R2 server running IIS7.5 and the lates asp and .net frameworks. I am able to use the website without any problems in IE9.
On my development machine a local version of the same website opens and populates correctly in FF21, the local website is localhost served by webmatrix on IIS express (my machine is win 7 Entreprise 64 bit).
What is happening and how can I sort this out. Thanks.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Firefox 8.1 downloaded today. Clearing everything, the Form & Search History will NOT clear. In 8.0 it did. Why now with 8.1?

Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.
I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are:
Browing & Download History
Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow)
Next is Cookies
then Cache
Then Active Logins
Then finishes up with Site Preferences.
IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

You can attach images to posts (and replies) here. There's a box to upload them.
There was only one mac-affecting change made in 8.0.1 which involved preventing a crash in the latest Java plugin. No other changes were taken. If you don't have the option to clear Form & Search History, this may be because you don't have any? Another possibility is that you have an extension that's preventing it. Can you go to Help > Troubleshooting information and paste here the extensions section?

No matter what I do my browser history will not clear.

I have tried everything suggested including removing cookies, all the clear history methods, etc. etc. My browser still has a dropdown full of options when I type in one letter.

Are you talking about history? Or are you talking about Form & Search History?
Type '''about:preferences#privacy''' <enter> in the address bar.
The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History.'''

I am unable to view my bookmarks and the 'Bookmarks' drop down menu will not expand beyond the bookmark folder to display my bookmarks.

When I try to add a new bookmark, I cannot find any of my bookmark folders. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and still have the same problem.

The screenshot didn't attach.
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (200 KB) and <u>do not click Preview</u> after you have attached the image.

When running Quicktime 7.7 with Firefox 7.01 on MAX OS X v 10.5.8 the menu drop down box will not drop down. Yo uclick and nothing happens. All of the other buttons work. Is there a fix?

See question

Hi blabla12345,
(untested and without warranty)
replace this line:
const sSaveCUBE = "CUBE";
with this:
const sSaveCUBE = "cube";
Have fun

History does not clear in address drop down menu

After going to tools--clear history, and tools--options on multiple occasions, my drop down history does not clear from my address bar, nor does it create new history. I still want control of my address bar, so "nothing" under location bar does not solve the problem either. Speaking to someone about this would be greatly appreciated.

The location bar drop down consists of your history and bookmarks, so it's possible that you're seeing bookmarks. Try setting it to only display history.
