How can I close ALL tabs and clear the entire history?

Since an update, I can no longer clear all my history... I cannot close a remaining tab. As much as thios has been my favorite browser, I am annoyed at the failure to protect privacy, and am considering deleting this entire program. Please give me a way to correct this and return to an earlier version.

To close the tab you're viewing, you can press Ctrl+w. Does that still leave an uncloseable tab? Is it a built-in page or a page on the web?
There are many methods to delete history in Firefox. Which is the one you're using to clear history? Is it one of these?
* Menu: History > Clear Recent History
* Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h): select entire list > right-click > Delete this page
In case you are having difficulties with regular vs. private browsing windows after the changes in Firefox 20, see whether this article helps: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].

  • When downloading, all screens are lists except last. It is a dropdown menu. How can I see all options and not the dropdown?

    My computer just crashed. On the new machine, as well as my laptop, when I save a file, I see icons on all screens except the last. The last option is a drop down menu and if my choice is more than 6 or so choices down, I have to scroll down. On the previous desktop, I saw icons listing the final choices.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • How can I play a playlist and not the entire library on my shuffle?

    I can't seem to organize songs into playlists and then play only the songs in the playlist -

    There is if you play music from your computer (mine is connected via AirTunes to several stereo systems) or if you later get a Nano, or iPod with Video or an iPhone that does support playlists.
    You can also use them to load songs on your Shuffle. For example, say you are going on a long exercise walk and you want many motivational songs with increasingly faster tempos. You could create a playlist on your computer, put the songs in it that you want, in the order you want, call it Long Walk, and then when your Shuffle is connected choose to Autofill from the playlist Long Walk

  • How can I get all tabs to close when I sign out

    Tabs fill the whole upper portion of the screen. I do not need them. I want to find out how I can automatically close all tabs whenever I leave Firefox.

    Hi - it still did not contain a precise response to my problem. But then I wandered around some more in the Tools option and found "always show the tab bar". I unchecked that, and it seems that for now all the tabs are gone. Shall have to see if they return on restarting or rebooting. If so, will post back. Thanks.

  • In the previous version of Firefox I could close the window and still have my tabs intact when I reopened it. Why does FF 4 closes all tabs and doesn't give me an option to save them? (And if it does, where do I change the setting?)

    In the previous version of Firefox, before closing a window with tabs still open, it asked if I would like to "save and close", "close all tabs" or "cancel" the operation. FF4 will just alert me that I am closing those tabs and ask me is I want to continue, without giving the option to save my research for a later use.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

    Open a new window. Go to the other window with all the tab. Close it. You now only have that newly open window.

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • How can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album?

    Hi
    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 with (Revel). My question ist how can i find all included pictures in the Online-Library which are not in a album? I would like only to have pictures in Library which are included in a online album.

    Hi there,
    I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?
    Here is a link with some helpful information:
