  • Today my pinned apps, tab groups and history ALL disappeared, and my settings were changed to "Clear history when Firefox closes." How can this happen!?

    I've had several pinned apps, tab groups etc that always reappeared when I closed and opened Firefox. I always had history stored without a problem.
    Today I opened Firefox, and my pinned apps, tab groups, and history were all gone, and the option to Clear history when Firefox closed was checked. I did NOT do that. How could that happen? I definitely need to avoid this happening again!!
    Please help! Thanks!

    If you didn't do that yourself and nobody else has used the computer then an extension may have made that change.
    I see in your list that you have some Norton extensions (toolbars) installed that could cause it, but others may do this as well.

  • Why firefox 3.6 downloads all of the files again after restartarting the browser from a website if the "clear history when Firefox closed" is not Enabled?

    We have a corporate website, we officially support FF3, FF4, IE8 and IE9. Our web site is quite big, so we really need browser caching, first time page load is around 15 seconds. With files in the cache getting new page is less than a second.
    Everything works perfect except with FF3. With FF4, IE8, IE9 if we are on the website, clicking everywhere is fast, the page is in the cache. If we restart the browser, it is still fast, it loads files from the cache.
    But with FF3 we have a problem. Every time we restart the browser, it is loading the files again from the server, instead of using the local cache (checked with Firebug). I can reproduce the problem anytime, it is the same with every FF3 instances. I double checked, the "clear history when Firefox closed" option is not enabled.
    Could you advise please how to use the local cache either after browser restart?
    Thank you!
    Chris

    Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
    I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
    Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
    I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
    Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

  • How do I clear history while usins 5.0. Current article regards 4.0. no help

    How do I clear history using 5.0? current article regards version 4.0

    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 ?
    * have you seen [[clear recent history]]<br/> (I recall minor changes in wording of menus but not too sure on which versions.)
    What version of Linux and what desktop are you using ? <br/>( I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with a Unity desktop and Firefox 11. )

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know.

    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-default-browser-android How to make Firefox for Android your default browser]
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • 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?

  • How do I clear history so I don't see stuff in spot search

    I'm using spot search to check for some specific search words, I.m picking up emails that have been deleted. Are these held in a cache or similar, if they are how do I clear it?

    Hi pauljcarey,
    I haven't seen a search history for Spotlight, but wonder if you have emptied your Mail Trash.  If you delete a message in Mail, it goes to a Trash folder which you can see by selecting your account under Accounts (portrait view, Mailboxes). Once you open the Trash for that account you can permanently delete the mail.
