How can I delete the private browsing option?

I have two children and I do not want their internet time to be hidden from me. I need to know what websites are visited and even if they delete the history I want to be able to search the temporary internet files to see if they are hiding anything,

Sophisticated users can get rid of most of their tracks, so you may need some additional software to "really" know what's going on. More info: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/parental+controls Parental controls].
That said, you can edit Firefox's menus in one of two ways:
(1) Menu Editor extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/
(2) Manually edit the settings file userChrome.css in a user's profile.
You would add a rule ''hiding'' the menu item using a rule similar to:
#privateBrowsingItem {display:none !important;}
I can't test that at the moment, sorry. More info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Tips_:_Customize_context_menu#Tweaking_userChrome.css

  • How do I delete the private browsing option?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/792868''
    I want to delete the private browsing option.

    There is no built-in option to disable private browsing. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ Menu Editor] extension to remove the option to start in private browsing mode from the menus, but that is easily bypassed. For example it does not stop somebody using the keyboard shortcut to open private browsing.
    Private browsing is not the only way to hide browsing details, somebody can remove records of their browsing by using clear recent history.

  • I just noticed Private browing option, has this been downloaded or automatically added? I dont want my kids up to no good, as how can i check what they're looking at? Can you delete the private browser?

    Can you delete the private brower option

    That has been a feature in Firefox since Firefox 3.5 was released in June, 2009, it's not '''new'''.
    Sorry, that feature can't be "removed" without breaking a security part of Firefox, and the developers didn't provide a "switch" to allow parents to turn it off. What's even worse it that there is a Bug filed to disable Private Browsing when the Parental Control's that are built into Windows Vista and Windows 7 are turned on. Nothing has been done to fix that Bug in almost 2 years since that Bug was originally filed. <br />
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658 <br />
    Hell, there hasn't even been a comment posted in that Bug in almost 7 months. I have done everything I can do as a support helper to make the developers aware of how important this Bug is for parents, based upon parental feedback here - that has been accepted as ''' "Thanks .... So it's on average 2 requests for this per week." '''
    In all honesty though, even if that Bug is fixed a child can just delete their browsing history in any browser quite easily; sure you'll see that it has been deleted, but you still won't know where they have been. You really need to install some Parental Controls on that PC that tracks the web sites that are being visited outside of a web browser, and can only be accessed with a password.
    I don't have any recommendations for that type of software, as I haven't needed it myself. Never had any children, and if I did even my grand-children would probably be old enough not to need monitoring like that.

  • Can I remove the "private browsing" option?

    Is it possible to completely remove the private browsing option in Firefox? I don't like the idea of people in my family having access to all sorts of sites, undetected by anyone. If not I may have to remove Firefox completely and return to Internet Explorer. Any help on this would be good.

    You could use the Menu Editor extension ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor]) to remove the menu entry, but this is only of limited use. For example it does not prevent anybody from clearing the browsing history.
    An alternative approach is to use a parental control program such as the free K9 web protection ([http://www.k9webprotection.com]). That program has its own log of sites visited, and you can use it to block access to categories of sites that you choose.

  • How can I delete the custom repeat option in the reminders app

    Hi,
    When I try to set a reminder to repeat every month the reminder app automatically sets a "custom repeat" of "every month that has 29 days in it". Where did this custom repeat option come from? I don't think I created it. How can I delete it?

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I am using the native iOS reminders app. I have tried closing the app and powering my phone off and on, but to no avail. I was under the impression that one can set custom reminders using siri? I have friend with a toddler who was playing with my phone. I figured maybe she set off Siri and a custom reminder was set by mistake?

  • How Can I desable the private browsing?

    I'm trying to use Tumblr and others apps. and I can't have access to my acount cause it appears a message telling me that I have to check out my cookies preferences more expecific private browsing.

    The developers didn't provide any method of disabling or hiding the Private Browsing feature.
    You can hide the Menu items for turning Private Browsing on and off, but the keyboard command will still turn it on:
    Add this code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files
    <code>
    #sanitizeSeparator, #privateBrowsingItem, #sanitizeItem
    #privateBrowsingAutoStart
    </code>
    There's a Bug filed to disable Private Browsing when "parental controls" are enabled, but that won't help WinXP users - only Vista & (probably) Windows 7 users - but there's been no action to even work on that Bug.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471658
    See comment#26, by me, and the response it generated from one of the developers. The developers seem unwilling to do anything, even to restore Firefox 3.5+ versions to the previous state - sans Private Browsing.
    Let Mozilla know how you feel about not being able to disable Private Browsing in Firefox here:

  • How do i remove the private browsing option?

    cant seem to get rid of this option..granted im no computer genius,but this is getting aggravating. help?!

    This new extension disables Private Browsing, hides all the PB menu items and disables the keyboard controls, disables the clearing of browsing history, and the extension doesn't appear in the Add-ons except for the Firefox SafeMode. <br />

  • I want to remove the "private browsing" option. how?

    Firefox automatically installed the "private browsing" option on my browser. I do not want it.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == past update

    You have or had an extension installed (NET_mmhpset) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6 to Firefox/3.0.x.
    You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.<br />
    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''<br />
    If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • How can I delete the TemporaryTopic using JMS C API or VC++

    Hello everybody,
    how can I delete the TemporaryTopic after created TemporaryTopic using JMS C API "JmsSessionCreateTemporaryTopic"?
    I checked the document about JMS C API, but I couldn't find any API for delete TemporaryTopic, it's really not existing?
    Or if there's any other way that I can delete TemporaryTopic using VC++? Any comments will be appreciated.
    Thanks for your help!
    Youbing he

    As far as I can tell, there's no C-API option for deleting a temporary topic other than to close the connection used to create the temporary topic. Note that it is inefficient to frequently create and destroy temporary topics.
    You can get pretty much equivalent performance and functionality with a shared regular topic, non-durable subscriptions, and selectors that take advantage of the "indexed subscriber" optimization. (Consumers specify a selector that is unique to them in the exact form of "MyUniqueID NOT NULL", while publishers send to a specific consumer by adding "MyUniqueID" as a message property. The "X NOT NULL" selector format activates the indexed subscriber optimization.)

    How can I delete the billing info on my phone? My card is expired and I'm not going to use another one

    Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    You might not get the 'none' option if you owe iTunes anything or if you have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366

    How can we delete the icloud accounts from main website.Iam trying to log in to my account and it says that MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE ACCOUNTS ARE ACTIVATED?What can i do guys plz tell me?

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.

  • How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

    As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
    After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

    The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
    Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work though.
