How do i allow keeping browsing history for my current session and erase it when I close?

ff is set to erase everything when I close it. But, it doesnt track my browsing in the current session. Private browsing is not enabled. Any ideas?

I assume that you are talking about the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings.
Note that clearing the disk cache when you close Firefox will cause Firefox to disable the disk cache completely, so features that rely on the disk cache may not work properly.
Did you check this with the default settings (i.e. all privacy.clearOnShutdown.* prefs have the default value)?

Don't you keep tab history on the Back and Forward button as well?
You can check the places.sqlite database with this extension:

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Where's the button which shows the browsing history of the current session?

On previous versions there was right next to the back button a small down-upwards pointing button which opened the whole browsing history of the current session. It was helpful to pick the page (site) you needed in an instant instead of going through all pages back in a tedious manner. What's up with this new Firefox version? It has serious issues,for Christ's sake...!

Thank you! I didn't know about the fact that one can open such a window with a right click on the back button =O oh well,I just installed the add-on since I'm used to this upward-down pointing arrow =) Thanks a lot! Firefox seriously messed it up this time,but thanks to guys like you I will stay for a little while longer with our fiery fox friend =)

Recently 3.6 keeps the tab for the default page and won't let me close it, squeezing new pages to a new tab too narrow to use.

Whatever startup page I specify for 3.6.11, when I attempt to move to a new page (not a new tab), the new page opens as a new tab in the left third or so of the window, with the startup page occupying the rest. The startup-page tab contains no "X" to close it and the close option is greyed out, so I cannot get rid of it or expand the page I want to fill the window. If opening a third page, I can then close the startup page tab but not the new-page tab, so I always have at least two tabs open and cannot see all of the page I want.

Thanks for the heads up, Kappy.
But just so everyone knows: my old Extreme (bought in March 2005!) was working with my laptop (10.9.2) and our ipad Air (7.1) until the cable company pushed through an upgrade. That apparently fried their cable modem (which they replaced with a newer model) and my Extreme. I used Airport Utility 5.5.2 on a 10.6.8 bootable external drive to check its settings, which were unchanged, but it refuses to function properly–its 3 lights flash constantly, which my manual says is abnormal.
Anyway, it had a good run. I've ordered a new AEBS. Does any outfit repair old base stations? I could donate it...

The add-on "Expire history by days" doesn't work for me. How to make firefox remember my history for longer?

Hi, With the recent updates firefox no longer keeps my browsing history for over 7 days. It makes things difficult for me because I could no longer keep track of some of the things I do. Is there any way to keep the browsing history longer?
Someone previously suggested the add-on "Expire history by days". It sometimes would keep the history for over a month and the next day all history older than a few days are completely gone! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Firefox keeps both bookmarks and history in the same database a file called ''places.sqlite''.
The addon may in fact restrict the options and prevent Firefox storing more History.
Try using the addon ''Places Maintenance'' and run the report option BEFORE and after any repair attempt. It may not help but at least produces a short potentially useful report in simple text format. You can paste the reports into your next reply.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Note both addons are by the same person, someone that has worked on Firefox and the author even added a warning

You apparently already have plans regarding freeing up space.
If you are short on free space on the hard disk History is the least of your concerns. Window XP is happiest with at least 20-25% free space. Defrag attempts will fail at about 12%. Do not use the hibernate option if low on disk space, because that will free up an amount equivalent to the RAM memory installed. Defrag if you can. This is not a Windows support forum, so I may only post short tips and suggestions of where else to try

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

How do i customize firefox 5 to keep visits history for 120 days?

where do i tell firefox 5 to keep visits history for 120 days as we used to do it easily in earlier versions ?

Till Firefox 3, hidden settings like ''browser.history_expire_days'' were supported that allowed you to control how long the history is maintained. But, for various reasons, these settings are no longer supported. Firefox 4 and above use a heuristic algorithm to decide how long to keep the history items. See this article for more information: [http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration Places Got Async Expiration]. 
Nevertheless, you can set the value of these hidden settings for some degree of control:
* ''places.history.expiration.max_pages'': the maximum number of pages that will be retained before expiring.
* ''places.history.expiration.interval_seconds'': number of seconds between each expiration algorithm run.
You can change these hidden settings by following these steps:
# Open a new tab and in the address bar, type '''about:config''' and then press '''Enter'''
# Click the '''I'll be careful, I promise''' button
# In the '''Filter''' text box at the top, type '''places.history.expiration.max_pages'''
# You will be presented with the setting for ''places.history.expiration.max_pages''.
# Right click on it, select '''Modify''' and enter the desired value.
# Click '''OK'''.
# Repeat these steps for ''places.history.expiration.interval_seconds''.
 Maybe there is an add-on that allows you to configure how long you wish to keep history. Search for it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad?

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad 2?

Settings > Safari > Clear History (and Clear Cookies And Data if you want to clear them as well).
If you also want to clear your search history (i.e. the words/phrases that you've typed in the search box) then you may also need to close Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

How to find less recent browsing history?

Browsing history in Firefox goes back to the latest 3 months. Since I lost some data, I need to go further back in time. I find help pages mentioning that firefox keeps browser history and buffer or cache and how to clear them, but not how to find it.

Sorry but the History is only really kept in one file and not backed up. In future consider
# bookmarking more items.
#ensuring you back up bookmarks manually occasionally [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]_manual-backup
#* or sync them onto another device [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
Unless you have been clearing/not saving History, have an enormous, number of bookmarks, or only started using Firefox recently I may have expected you to have a longer period of saved History.
The cache is unlikely to help,it is accessible by typing into the address bar ''about:cache'' The information is not very user friendly. There may be addons available that present the information in a better way (Recent changes may stop many such addons from functioning)

Does SAP keep change history for program variants?

Hi,
Does anybody know whether SAP keep change history for program variants, like it does for PO, Material etc?
If so, how could I get this information? If not, does it mean there is no way we could find the changes made to the variant?
Thanks
steven

Hello Steven,
I see that this is your first post to the forums here and I would like to welcome to SDN and BPX. I hope you will find these communities very helpful for learning and sharing information about SAP Products and Technologies.
Regarding your question, I think the best place to find the answer would be the ABAP Development.
However, being an experienced ABAP developer myself, I do not think program variants have change history. And yes, there is no way to retrieve the old values of the variants .
Regards.
Anand Mandalika.
