Feature Request: I want Firefox 4 to remember search history, but not form data, without having to use a third-party plug-in. Is this possible now and I am just not seeing it?

I don't like having Firefox (or any browser for that matter) remembering any form history, as I do not see this as secure data storage (IT security/network engineer). Currently the only way to disable this is to also disable search history, which is a useful tool to have, and I am not worried about the security of that data (I don't search for sensitive data). I would like to see these two options under the Privacy->Custom Settings Preference to be separated so that people can more finely control what of their data is stored.
Is this possible without the use of third-party plugins?

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

  • I can't access Bing Maps on this desktop computer. Bing comes up with the search function. A thumbnail map will come up in search results, but when I click to get the large map, I get a blank screen. The left sidebbar is there, just not the map image.

    This began happening a few weeks ago. At first, I could click the thumbnail map, and it would bring up the large map. Now, all I get is a blank page.

    Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
    Let me know if this worked for you.

  • I want firefox to remember my email password.

    I am tired of always having to type my user name and password every time I want to get on Internet emails. I want Firefox to remember. How do I do this? Also I have trouble on Saturdays with my computer freezing or site just closes.

    You can disable the Firefox Password Manager and use form autocomplete to remember the name.
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [ ] "Remember passwords for sites"
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > History: [X] "Remember search and form history"
    * [[Remembering passwords]]

  • Someone was playing on my computer and I don't see the "Do you want Firefox to Remember" bar. How can I get it back so I don't have to remember sign-in information?

    I'm thinking that there is just a simple correction that I need to make.
    Here's what I don't see (what follows if from memory and is not exact).
    Do you want Firefox to Remember?
    This is followed by "always for this site", "never" or "not now"
    I don't ever get that bar anymore AND those sites that I used to be able to automatically get into without entering userid and password, I now have to use my userid and password.
    Can you help?

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • I don't want firefox to remember my log in on Facebook. How do I change that?

    I don't want firefox to remember my log in on Facebook. But I accidently hit remember. How do I change that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    A. Delete the Password:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering+passwords#Viewing_and_deleting_passwords
    B. Add Password Exception:
    1. Go to Facebook and log in. When Firefox asks you if you want to save this password, select '''Never for this Site''' . See the attached screenshot.

  • How do i set firefox to remember my user id and password for yahoo mail. i've changed my yahoo password, so i want firefox to remember the new ones.

    I want to know how to set firefox to remember my yahoo mail id and password. i've changed my password, but firefox only remember the old password. So, i've erased it in the security settings.

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
    Yahoo uses "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords, so you need to use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet.
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.

  • I just upgraded to FF 7 and now when I open Firefox none of my history or cookies have been saved. I have checked in options that Firefox will remember my history and all relevant settings but it is not doing it. Is there a problem with this on FF7?

    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

  • I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

    I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time. 

    Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way.  I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done.  I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps.  Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to.  In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other.  Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.

    There are no contacts in itunes.
    Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
    Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.
