How can I stop Private Browsing from retaining history of websites visited?

Whenever I go into "Private Browsing" and start to type in - www, a history of websites visited comes up. I thought that in Private Browsing, history was not retained!

<u>New</u> history is not kept, but existing history from normal mode is still there and can be accessed if you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.<br />
If you want to prevent that then you need to clear the history after you enter ''Private Browsing'' mode.

How can I stop my browser from opening additional window every time it starts pointing to add-ons upgrade page.

It start suddenly some days ago. I tried the conventional solutions like setting the home page, upgrading the addons marked for upgrade (although I really didn't want to upgrade the Shockwave flash - every time I do this I have some issue...) etc. but none of them helped me and i couldn't find some setting particulary about this. I'm having an antivirus solution and I doubt this to be some sort of infection.
So, this is the reason to try to find some answers here before change the browser. I'm using old version (version 12 if I recall it correctly), I know, but the newer ones.. I just don't like them much.
Thanks in advance!

Mhm.. this is what I wanted to avoid.
Anyway, I'll use the post to clarify that the page opened in the additional window is https://www.mozilla.org/bg/plugincheck/. Obviously the problem is not the addons, it is the plugins. If someone had resolved that issue could share his experiance.
Many thanks for the answer!

How can I stop a JFrame from closing when clicking the close button.

I need to display a dialog when a user attempts to close my app, giving them the option to close, minimize or cancel. How can I stop the form from closing after the user makes his selection? I have the folllowing code, but my form still closes after selecting an option:
private void formWindowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
        //An array of Strings to be used a buttons in a JOptionDialog
        String[] options = {"Close", "Minimize", "Cancel"};
        //Determines what the user wants to do
        int result = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "What to you want to do? Close the application, minimize or cancel?", "Please select an option...", 0, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, options, options[0]);
       //Determines what to do, depending on the user's choice
        if (result == 0) {
            //Close the application
            System.exit(0);
        } else if (result == 1) {
            //Minimize the application
            this.setState(Frame.ICONIFIED);
    }Any help would be much appreciated!

          //the next line makes the JFrame not close
          setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE );
          //now add a listener that does the trick
          addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
                    public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) {

How can i stop internet media from flooding elements 6?

how can I stop elements 6 from constantly importing internet photos and flooding my memory?

PSE isn't importing photos off the internet, but it could be importing photos from your hard drive that are being placed there as you browse the internet.
It's likely that you've told PSE to import all new photos on your hard drive using the Watched Folders mechanism.
In the Organizer, go to File > Watch Folders...
See the list of folders PSE is currently watching.
Check the setting near the bottom of the dialog as to what PSE should do when it finds new images in the folders it is watching.
Make any necessary changes to have it do what you want it to do.
Cheers

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

How can i stop deleted gmails from reappearing?

how can I stop deleted gmails from reappearing?

Ignore him! Syncing will not solve this.
if this just started, it may also resolve on its own. A reboot may resolve it quicker.
When you delete, are you confirming the delete by taping "done" Or "delete"?
