History does not clear on exit

When I exit Firefox and restart it all my history is still present even although I have it set to automatically clear the history when I close the application.
In the privacy tab I'm using custom settings for history, I also have the checkbox selected for clearing history when Firefox closes, and under settings I have everything selected, but it's not working. I even thought about a second instance of the application running in Windows processes but there was only one and it disappeared when I closed it.
I'm running the latest version of Firefox (35.0.1), with OS of Win 7 Prof. Service pack 1.
This used to work ok until about 2 weeks ago (According to my history). It's driving me nuts now and I'm thinking of changing to Chrome unless I can get it fixed.

Hello scotcan,
any luck if you delete in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js file] you have ?
The user.js file '''does not exist by default'''. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write in the file also).
thank you

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.

Firefox location bar history does not clear

Problem: When I attempt to delete or clear the Location bar, nothing happens. The Location Bar remains fixed and does not update as I browse. This fixed Location Bar history still remains despite various methods of clearing it.
Specs: Running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista.
Details: Despite various methods, location bar history remains fixed and does not change or update as I browse. I wish for it to display an accurate history but it instead remains fixed. The only way to clear it is to open Tools > Options, and click on Nothing under Location bar suggestions. However, this renders the location bar useless for providing history.
- Selecting websites in Location Bar and pressing "Delete" or "Backspace" has no lasting effect. The website goes away while the Location Bar is pulled down, but reappears in the exact same spot when the Location Bar is viewed again.
- Clearing recent history, with time range set to everything and all options selected in the Details panel, does nothing.
- Pressing Ctrl-Shift-H and deleting all history does not clear Location Bar.
- While in History, highlighting any websites displayed on the Location Bar and telling Firefox to forget it does not clear the Location Bar.
- Running Firefox in Safe Mode still gives me the same problem. Location Bar does not change.
P.S. Location Bar does not display Bookmarks. There are no stars next to any web addresses despite changing Location Bar Suggestion settings to "Bookmarks".
I simply want to get my Location Bar back in working order, but have been unable to do so following the conventional methods suggested on Firefox Support. Thanks for your help!

MY history does not clear when i select clear history +clear is on"everything" ?

clearing history does not work anymore, I select the option to clear everything. In order to clear history I have to go under show all history and delete each individual item

I have the latest version. I have History only selected. When I manually select Clear Recent History, it deletes some items but not everything. I just performed Clear Recent History and 8 sites are still showing up. None of them are in my Bookmarks and most of them I haven't visited in weeks. It is a real pain finding the sites that I would like to select when all this garbage fills up the list.

App history does not clear in Lion

I'm noticing that for Quicktime and Text Edit that when I clear the history of files I've opened - they do not clear. When I right click the app while it's opened (in the dock) i still see a list of all the files I've opened. Before - if I clear the history - this menu would be cleared as well.
Any advise on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Safari History does not clear

I can't seen to clear URL history in Safari. I have clicked "clear history" in the history menu, and also "reset safari" in the safari menu. History appears cleared, but entering a part of a URL brings up URL history!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Are you sure that the URL's that appear are not on your bookmarks list?
If you type the first part of a bookmarked URL into the address bar, Safari will complete the URL for you.

Clearing history does not clear the browser.HOw do I do that

The first thing that comes up on the monitor is the Firefox browser. If I touch for example the letter f, a word for porn comes up. Several other letters bring up other porn subjects.
I want to eliminate that problem and clear that mess out, but can't. History shows no history to clear.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Judy-
If Private Browsing doesn't do it, try Settings-Safari-Advanced-Website Data-Remove All Websitre Data.
Or changing Settings-Safari-Autofill to OFF.
You might also try Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
As you can see, there are several controls for Safari. Which one works depends on what your problem is.

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.

Screen not clearing on exit

Hi,I'm on Spotify Unlimited vn 1.0.9.133.gcedaee38 on a Windows 7 desktop PC. When I exit Spotify (either using file/exit or the X in the top right corner) it stops the process OK but fails to clear the screen.I've tried reinstalling but that hasn't resolved it. It's not a major problem as the screen is refreshed when you open another program in full-screen mode but it is a minor niggle that looks like a programming bug.

I'm on the latest release: 1.0.11.134.ga37df67b When exiting spotify, it does not clear its "painted window", asking Windows to refresh whatever was underneath. From the desktop I must press <F5> to do a desktop refresh. I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with the latest service packs and updates, dual monitor, nVidia card, 8 gigs ram, gigabyte motherboard, Q6600 processor. This has been going on for a long time and there seems to be no proper place to submit bug reports.

Cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close Firefox even though they are set to do so and have been for ages

I recently had an update (or upgrade?) for FF 16. Today (and I believe the update was done a day or two ago?) my cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close FF. Also, certain links are not working. Not links for full web pages but for site pop-ups (like the smilie window on a message board). They worked a few days but are not working today. I click the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not clearing for a few weeks ago but it was only on one site not all sites which is what's happening now.
My apologies if that's a little confusing. Thanks!

At any rate, have you tried running Firefox in Private Browsing mode? This will ensure that no infromation from your session is saved once you exit Private Browsing mode and/or exit Firefox.
You can set Firefox to always start in Private Browsing mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info#w_how-do-i-always-start-firefox-in-private-browsing

FINSTA Bankstatement does not clear Open Items

Dear SAP guru,
I am experiencing an issue where FINSTA bankstatement generated in IHC module does not clear Open items in reciving company code. I would like to get the system to search for the document based on the original FI document number and clear it. The situation is
The bank statement successfully processed has an original document number and processed.
In IMG for EBS, I configure as algorism used is 20 - Document number search and Bank Posting type 4: Clear Debit GL account
Clearing account - and have the posting with relevant document number matched with the bankstatement.
It seems that the system does not find the matching at all.
Could any of you shed some light on what I am missing???
Kind regards
Taro

Creating or even using something like a data migration account is the best way.
Are you saying that you have a GL account with say 100 line items and you want them all cleared. If that is the case you wont need a LSMW, make sure you know the amount, and then create a journal posting to your new GL account, and select all items in the GL account you want to clear.
If there are various GL accounts, again no real problem, in F-03 which is what you would be using, you can enter more than GL account so that should not be an issue.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

MQ Adapter does not clear the rejected message from the queue

Hi All,
I'm using a MQ Adapter to fetch the message from the queue without any Backout queue configured. However, whenever there is any bad structured message found in the queue, MQ adapter rejects the message and moves the message to the rejmsg folder but does not clear it off the queue, as a result of which it keeps retrying the same hence, filling the logs and the physical memory. Somehow we do not have any backout queue configured so I can move the message to blackout queue. I have tried configuring the jca retry properties and global jca retry as well but to no avail.
- Is it not the default behaviour of MQ Adapter to remove the rejected message from the queue irrespective of Backout queue is configured or not? The same behaviour working well with the JMS and File Adapter though.
- Is there any way I can make MQ Adapter delete the message from that queue once it is rejected?
Regards,
Neeraj Sehgal

After hiighlighting a word and pasting it into another document, the clipboard does not clear ;when I hit enter it pastes again and again. How do I fix it?

When I highlight a word or phrase and copy to the clipboard, then paste it in another area the clipboard does not clear the phrase. Therefore, every time as I type and hit the enter key it continues to paste the phrase all over my document. I do have the latest download of Firefox installed (16.0, win 7 and that is when this started. How do I stop this obnoxious behavior so I can type a sentence with normalcy?
Louise

Thank you, Iusually do that first thing with any computer problems. Old school computer fix. Hard Boot regardless! lol Thanks again.
