How do i prevent users to delete or disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu

i wanted to disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu,
because i want to restrict the people to delete browsing history.

Even if you disable some items in the Tools > Clear Recent History list then it is still possible to remove history items in the History sidebar (View > Sidebar > History).

Best would be to lock the corresponding privacy.cpd.* prefs via a file mozilla.cfg

  • How can I fix the disabled -Clear Search History- in the Tools section?

    I have a MacBook Pro and have just noticed that, as of today 2/15/13, the Form & Search History in the Tools, Clear Search History, section is often lightened/blurred over and its tiny box no longer able to be checked. More importantly, the Clear Search History -itself- is completely disabled and not working. I used it yesterday and it appeared to work fine. I've noticed that there are quite a few reports of this problem occurring with other users, but any and all those who have responded to these reports, with suggestions, are of no help whatsoever, to me, as I cannot understand them. Can someone who is able to give the proper effective advice do s in layman's terms so I can comprehend their instructions, please. :-) Thank you.

    The problem recurred and after verifying I have no add-ons or extensions, since I don't even know what they are, much less know how to use them the "Safe Mode" process wouldn't solve the problem. But at least now i know that the "Clear Recent History," in the Tools tab, works intermittently, but just not consistently. And the "Form & Search History" with tiny box next to it is unchecked and inaccessible (blurred over) sometimes, then appears accessible and check marked on other occasions. A very strange phenomenon...
    I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5 system and have no idea where to find the "Profile" to implement the other possible fixes. I am not well enough versed in the technical aspects of this computer to even attempt the frustrating and tricky task of deleting files I haven't a clue where to find unless someone can take me through the process step by step in layman's terms.
    There is either a bug in Firefox 19.0, which is very possible considering there are quite a few people who have reported this problem, or perhaps my last update somehow didn't download properly. Is it necessary to trash my current 19.0 version in order to download Firefox, again, or would another download of the same version override the current one?
    I'd like to see if that works to resolve the problem, but the first time I tried, a file that I couldn't open ended up on my desktop and I had to move it into the trash, not knowing what else to do with it. It didn't even show up in the trash when I did that???!!! Please provide easy to follow instructions on how to perform the downloading of another 19.0 version to replace my current one. Perhaps that will work. Thanks! :-)

  • The "Clear Recent History" option is not available in my version of FF (7.0.1). How can I restore that?

    The Firefox Help section describes how to clear history, cache, etc. by using the "Clear Recent History" option, but my version of Firefox (7.0.1) does not have that available.
    Is there a way to restore this option to my version?

    You will need to contact your company's IT department. If they have disabled that function, they have done so for security reasons and only they can undo the change.

  • I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

    I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

    That probably means that you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing"
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • How can i prevent users to delete remote management on their IPADs

    hello everyone
    i have Mac with OS X server i have created profile manager to manage the students I Pad's
    students keep deleting the profile remote management profile
    anyway to help me to manage their I PADS remotely 

    When configuring a profile in Profile Manager, if you edit the General entry you can set it to require a password before allowing a user to remove the profile. If you don't give users this password then they will not be able to remove it.

  • Prevent user from deleting rows from all tables in his own schema

    Hi,
    How can I prevent user from deleting rows in all tables in his own schema.
    I want the user to not able to delete rows from any existing or new tables that might be added in the future.
    The user does not have the "DELETE ANY TABLE" system privilege.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Nowadays, I'd also avoid triggers (if possible).
    Sometimes, when I daydream, I'm rewriting a few applications that I've contributed to as a newbie, and I'm very ashamed of it nowadays.
    From what I've experienced, in retrospective, the emphasis on teaching 'Oracle stuff' has been lying far too much on PL/SQL row-by-row oriented processing instead of letting Oracle 'crunch' sets at once.
    Most of my debugging hours ended up in discovering one or more database triggers 'doing stuff automagically'.
    Another nice blogpost: http://rwijk.blogspot.com/2007/09/database-triggers-are-evil.html
    Regarding OP's question:
    I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
    Correctly implementing privileges and roles seems the best way to go, yes.
    Triggers? Nah...
    pre-post-edit, noticed thread got updated just before posting
    Don't know what you mean with 'namedropping', but I think it's legitimate to point other readers to interesting Oracle related opinions/articles that do have a technical background and lots of interesting examples.
    post dreaded OTN outage edit (from here)
    Again: I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
    Both trigger/vpd are being used to hide a design flaw here.

  • Whenever I try to "clear recent history" in Firefox 6.0, I get a messages saying a script ("chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133") is busy or has stopped responding. How can I remedy this?

    Whenever I try to "clear recent history," which I try to do after every browsing session, I get a message saying "A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133" I used to get this periodically before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0 but now I get it every time I try to clear my recent history. This happens on both my home and work computers and I'm using Firefox 6.0 and a Windows XP Professional SP2 operating system on each computer. How can I remedy this?

    That can be caused by clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]].
    * Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    * Firefox > History > Clear Recent History or Tools > Clear Recent History
    Try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps.<br />
    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.<br />
    Make sure that you do not clear the "Site Preferences" as that will remove all exceptions.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

  • How do I prevent users from being able to update Firmware

    I have several users (14) with iPad 2 and they rely on an in-house developed App. we have yet to test this App on iOS 5.1 and therefore want to avoid any of the users updating the iPads at all cost!
    this question is in two parts:
    How can I prevent users from upgrading firmware themselves short of just asking nicely?
    How can I stop the iPad from automatically downloading the Upgrade when I deploy a Policy using the iPhone Configuration Utility?
    Any advice would be great!

    We've been looking at the AirWatch mdm and have been told it has this capability.  Not sure if it would be justified from an economic standpoint for you, however. 

  • How to find the user who deleted the contents of DSO.

    Dear friends,
    Can u please tell me ,how to find the user who deleted the contents of the DSO.
    The user has deleted the complete contents of the DSO. We need to find the user ,date and time.
    regards,
    Vijai

    Hi,
    If the user has used the manage option to delete the contents of the DSO then the changed by field will be updated by the users name. In case a program is used for the deletion then it wont be the case.
    Regards

  • How to reset All users and delete their table?

    Hi,
    i want to know How to reset All users and delete their tables with username- system and password-manager.
    thanks

    Hi
    Here delete means truncate or drop?????
    If drop use the following statement to generate the script:
    select 'drop table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
    where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
    But before firing the above statement extract the DDL's to create all the users and put it in a file and just run that file to re-create the users.
    if its truncate then:
    select 'truncate table ' || Owner || '.' || Table_Name || ';' from Dba_tables
    where owner in (<All_the_users_you_want_to_reset>);
    Hope this Helps
    Regards

    I don't think it can do that. Only you can delete it.

  • Prevent user from deleting someone else data

    I have a table
    create table T(
    infoID number primary key,
    info varchar2(4000),
    user varchar2(1)
    and users a,b,c with object priveleges on table T.
    What is the best way to prevent user from deleting someone else data?
    1. Create a view for each user to interacat with ( where user='a') and revoke privileges from table T.
    2. Use procedures or trigers to catch a bad user.
    3. ?

    Leo is certainly correct that VPD will solve the issue you have described. however another option also exists without the need to create a separate view for each user (as you described) or the use of VPD, the option would be to do something like the following.
    create user ownera identified by ownera;
    create user usera identified by usera;
    create user userb identified by userb;
    create user userc identified by userc;
    grant connect, resource to ownera;
    grant create view to ownera;
    grant connect to usera, userb, userc;
    conn ownera/ownera
    create table mytable ( id number primary key,
    userid varchar2(8) not null, mod_date date not null, text varchar2 (100));
    create sequence mytable_seq;
    create or replace trigger biu_mytable_trg
    before insert or update on mytable
    for each row
    begin
         select mytable_seq.nextval into :new.id from dual;
         :new.userid := user;
         :new.mod_date := sysdate;
    end;
    create or replace view v_mytable as
    select * from mytable where userid=user;
    grant select, insert, update, delete on v_mytable to usera, userb, userc;
    try inserting and selecting as the various userX users.
    Good luck.

    The history option is the little clock icon at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu - the icon in the center between the open book and the eye glasses icons. You don't have that? Try closing Safari and see if the history option comes back
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also clear the history in Settings>Safari>Clear History.

    While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English

    As stated in 1.:
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."

  • How do I disable the "Clear Recent History" function in the tools drop menu?

    I've figured out how to disable the "Start Private Browsing" function, and would also like to delete the "Clear Recent History" and "Forget this site" options. I have teenaged children and would just like the options gone.

    Disabling it in Firefox itself wouldn't help, since the users would still be able to find the files in profile folder and delete them manually. If you want to disable that, you might log in as Administrator on your system and modify the permissions to the history file, but it would end up in Firefox (running at the user account) being unable to add data to the file as well.
