    Hi there bradkeithhyde,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • How do I delet history in the firefox beta

    need to delete sites visited on firefox beta.

    Not clear on whether you mean all of your browsing history, or for a
    time period, or even for a url or something searchable, but all are covered in
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox
    and since you probably won't have much luck viewing it, you can pull up a recently archived copy from Google of what they used to index the page recently (4 days ago)
    * http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fkb.mozillazine.org%2FViewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox
    The support page destroying browsing history (what you asked for)

    Also see your options for what is available, the picture is clearly marked for preserving browsing history (not what you asked for)

    Unlikely what you are looking for now, but there is an extension to change the status of visited and unvisited links for the links on page or in a selection that will affect those links on any page afterwards until visited again.

  • Removing a Mozilla "Valentine Persona" from the firefox web browser

    Email from Mozilla for a free Valentines day Persone. This it installed onto the top of my browser. How can I remove it?

    Hi Cavey,
    This pretty easy actually. Just go to ''Tools > Add ons > Appearance'' and change it back to the default profile. You can find more information in the [[Using themes with Firefox]] Knowledge Base article.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Do I select "delete browsing histroy" in Windows 7 or while on the Firefox web page (your instructions are not clear regarding this)

    I have read your instructions on the Firefox website. What is not clear to me is, do I accomplish "privacy settings" and "delete browsing history" within the Firefox web site or do I do this offline through Windows 7 "internet settings". The Firefox tab (upper left) does not offer the menu choices that your instructions refer to. My laptop (offline) "internet settings" refer to Internet Explorer settings (which I am not using) so it's not clear that changes in my preferences are affecting Firefox (or just Internet Explorer)

  • I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

    I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
    It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
    I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
    LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
    How can I fix this Plug-in?
    And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

    After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

    Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
    If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
    Ubuntu bug...
    You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

  • Which is the specific item inside the "Clear History" settings of Firefox 3.6.13 that, if checked, prevents or deletes the 'Yahoo Sign In Seal' ?

    My Yahoo Sign in Seal gets deleted from the cache or wherever it is saved in my computer after I close Firefox (3.6.13) and I don't see it again when I restart Firefox and browse to the Yahoo login page.
    I used to have the 'private browsing session' checked. But after unchecking it and unchecking all the items in the 'clear history' section, the Sign In Seal problem is resolved. But I want the maximum possible Privacy settings that this Sign In Seal can withstand, ie the minimum possible sacrifice of privacy in relation to the Seal. My question is, how can I do that ? Is there any specific checkbox - unchecking which (and not unchecking all the others like what I've done now) will prevent the Seal from getting deleted ?

    You can't use Private Browsing if you need to preserve or access specific cookies. In Private Browsing mode the cookies from a regular session are not available. Firefox will create a new set of cookies for every Private Browsing session that are removed if the PB mode session is ended.

  • How do I clear all of the java applets that have been downloaded?

    I migrated firefox and other applications to my new mac so that I would not to reenter all of my passwords saved by firefox. However, it appears that the java applets were also transfered and one of these applets does not work with the new intel mac. I was able to get the same applet to work in safari, and I was able to delete the applet from safari as well, but was unable to do so in firefox.
    So, how do I clear all of the previously downloaded applets, or even better, just the one I want to? Clearing all of the recent history didn't work.
    Here is the site:

    I did that already, and it cleared the applets for Safari, but not for Firefox.

  • How do you clear history?

    How do clear the history from the Firefox browser?

    In the Firefox browser for Android, you can use the "Clear Private Data" button in the preferences, but this will remove your bookmarks and passwords and other settings as well as your history.
    Or you can use one of these add-ons to clear only the history:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/clear-mobile-history/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/cleary/
    We plan to add more options for clearing history in the future. To help us improve Firefox, can you let us know how often you clear your history, and why?

    I see you are using a Linux distro, but please note the current Firefox release is now Firefox 11. What exactly are you trying to clear for instance:
    * History as shown in the History library
    * Results shown on location bar, originating from History
    * Cache entries
    * something else
    What is the article that you are reading ?
