Firefox keeps history for more than the designated time period and opens automatically

So i have two problems
1)my firefox history options is set to only remember last 7 days but it doesn't delete after 7 days and adds this month and previous month.If i delete only this month the entire history is deleted.
2)lately whenever my laptop goes to monitor switoff or when my computer starts up a firefox window opens automatically with no themes enabled nor any addons enabled.the home page of the firefox window is the firefox google search page..I also did a virus scan with kaspersky 2010.
yelp!

The setting Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least" refers to the number of days kept in memory (default is 90 days).
Firefox 3 and 3.5/6 versions store pages in places.sqlite on disk for 180 days by default.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Places_Expiration
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90) (set via Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember my browsing history for at least")
For your other problem:
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved and [[Preferences are not saved]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • How to save history for more than one day. Can't find the answer. Thanks, Bil

    When I click on the History tab in the tool bar it only shows History for one day or today. How can I change it to save History for 3 days?

  • Call history for more than a year (one contact)

    Hi
    I was wondering if I can get a page that will show my call history for one contact for the past year and a bit? I need it for a visa application for my partner to prove we've been in contact while we weren't living together. 
    Thanks

    Hi, LauraTS, and welcome to the Community,
    If your Skype data files have not been corrupted, and
    If these files are on the same computer/laptop during the timeframe you seek to capture,
    Then you might try this freeware add-on which is recommended by the Community Ambassadors: Skype Logs Reader/Viewer (.dbb and main.db files)

  • Error 1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of X seconds.

    Hi,
    I have a swf that i can´t change (i don´t own the code and it´s copyrighted). In some cases, I´m getting error 1502, after 30 seconds executing the file.
    Is there a way to change or disable the default timeout period? Remember that i can´t edit the .fla...
    Thanks in advance!

    you can load that swf into another swf and adjust the timeout duration in the main swf.

  • With the iCloud, is there really a need for more than the 16gb?

    Hey All,
    So I'm finally making the switch to the iPhone. I'm going to get the newest one that just came out.  My question is now that there is the iCould is there really even a need for me to get a larger hard drive thatn the 16gb?
    What are your thoughts?

    It depends on the user... many people like to carry around everything.
    My suggestion is to buy as much storage as you can afford... better to have and not need than need and not have.  Plus, it will be worth more when you sell it.

  • How to generate row_number for more than the no of records in the order by column?

    Hi All,
    I have a query which contains Order quantity, order date and Row_number as Id. The below code produces 15 records as well as row_number for those 15 records. But I need row number for the next 12 months too. That means I need 12 more records with row_number
    and Order month and order quantity empty.
    use [AdventureWorksDW2012]
    go
    SELECT
      SUM([OrderQuantity]) As OrderQuantity
     ,CONVERT(DATE,[OrderDate]) As OrderDate
     ,LEFT(d.[EnglishMonthName],3) + '-' + CONVERT(CHAR(4),YEAR([OrderDate])) As OrderMonth
     ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY([OrderDate])) As Id
    FROM [dbo].[FactResellerSales] f
    JOIN [dbo].[DimProduct]   p ON f.ProductKey = p.ProductKey
    JOIN [dbo].[DimDate]   d ON f.OrderDateKey = d.DateKey
    WHERE OrderDate >= '2006-04-01' AND EnglishProductName = 'Road-650 Red, 60'
    GROUP BY p.[ProductKey], [OrderDate],[EnglishMonthName]
    How can I achieve it?

  • Can't get firefox to work for more than a week. won't pull up any website - IE works great

    I have been having problems with Firefox for some time now. I have a HP running a AMD Athlon II X4 (Windows 7). Only major software is PC Tools PC Doctor, Skype, and other MS Office software.
    Firefox will simply stop loading webpages and just sit there. Internet Explorer will work fine. I have completely uninstalled, ugraded, and just about everything I can think of. This has been ongoing. It will work great for about 2 weeks, then stops. Any help would be appreciated, i don't want to use IE.
    thanks

  • How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

    I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
    Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional. 

    That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
    The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
    Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph.  It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

  • Please , I wonder if I can subscribe for more than one sync accout on the same Desktop? I mean that we are multi-users for the same desktop , so we need some privacy.

    I and my brothers and sisters use the same desktop , so we need to subscribe for more than a single sync account , and I don't know how. Thank you

    If you each have a separate Windows account then each of you should automatically have a separate Firefox profile.
    If you use the same Windows account (not much privacy in that case) then you will have to create a separate profile for each of you and a desktop shortcut to start each profile.

    Hi,
    A 2019 ms delay could be caused by a number of things. It could be network related or more likely as the message says the WebLogic node could have been doing a GC. As your WebLogic node is a Cluster member you need to make sure that its GC is properly tuned to avoid long GC pauses as this can destabelize the whole cluster. I see you are using 3.5.3/465p8 which is an older version of Coherence and lacks the newer node death detection algorithms. I know from the project I work on that also uses 3.5.3/465p8 that long GCs on cluster members can cause other nodes in the cluster to die if you get GC pauses that are too long or too frequent.
    I doubt that this message is related to the stuck thread issue in your original post, though it is hard to tell for certain.

  • When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • Icons keep disappearing off the monitor when computer sleeps for more than 10 minutes

Am i missing an easy solution here?  Thanks

    Hi,
    As you can see from the theory this alert could mean two things:
    1. Too many powershell scripts are executed on agent simultaneously
    2. There are scripts that takes much time to complete
    First of all, you need to evaluate a script-based module (workflow). You need to find answers to following questions:
    – What is the target for this script-based workflow?
    – How many instances of this target class are exist on the affected computer?
    – Does this script leveraging a cookdown concept?
    – How long it take for script to complete?
    Please go through the articles below for more details:
