How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???
How do I set Firefox 5 to NEVER delete any history entry???
Like I could in firefox 3, in about:config, set firefox to store(and therefore never delete) history entries. up to 900k entries.
I want the same in firefox 5. How?
Yes, use Firefox Portable for that website. <br />

I doubt is this is an issue with the Fast Release schedule, more like an issue with a website that is incorrectly screening the user agent of the browsers being used, or with a website that hasn't been updated for a browser that was released over three months ago.

How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?
How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?
I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?
Certain web sites I use daily require Firefox 4 to be started in 16-bit mode. How do I set Firefox 4 to automatically start in 16-bit mode?
Do you mean 32 bit mode as opposed to the default 64 bit mode?
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDFFirefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security. -
How can I set my phone to delete messages after a certain period of time? 6 months, 1 year??? It is taking up over 4GB on my phone. I don't want to delete everything just the oldest ones.
If you update to iOS 8, you can select that in Settings>Messages>Keep Message and then select your option. If you don't update to iOS 8, you'll need to do it manually.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?
How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?
Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version. -
How can I set firefox as default browser in citrix server, only for few groups. does -silent -setdefaultbrowser option working in latest version?
I think so: [http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/330585-firefox-default-browser-for-all-users/]
Can you also set the default programs in the Group Policy User Settings?

I have just downloaded Firefox after reformatting my hard drive so I was not upgrading -- I wonder if I am missing a file which would have been there if I was upgrading from an earlier version.
Not much else to say: I ticked the relevant boxes.If you set "Firefox will: Never remember history" then you enter Private Browsing mode immediately.
You can see a grayed "Tools > Stop Private Browsing" to confirm that.
This doesn't affect already stored History, but Firefox won't add new visited links to the History.
If you want to remove sites from the History then you need to do that yourself.
You can (temporarily) set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo] to ''0'' to clear the ''Recently Closed Tabs'' list.
Use the ''Reset'' context menu item to re-enable ''Undo Closed Tabs'' with the default value if you want to re-use that feature.
You can temporarily set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0 to reset the Recently Closed Windows list,
However there appears to be always one window left that is only removed if you close and restart Firefox.
You can avoid that by closing all tabs before closing the window with only an empty tab left.
Set the pref '''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab''' to ''false'' on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser.

How can I set Firefox (in about:config?) to NEVER bother me with update notifications?
Welp, the question says it all. Or almost all of it. I DETEST the latest, MENU-LESS version of Firefox (and it DOESN'T help that, by standing on my head and spitting wooden nails in a particular direction, I CAN actually find everything contained in the old menus), and therefore I force-installed the previous version (28.0), but my problem is that I am still pestered with prompts that urge me to upgrade to version 29.0. I resent THE HELL OUT OF THAT! I resent ANYTHING NANNY-LIKE that is IN MY FACE!
So, I thought that by setting certain app.update parameters, I could be rid of that UPDATE SCOURGE - and in fact, it seems to have worked on my Linux-only desktop - but, alas, no, it is still there, still very much IN MY FACE on my dual-boot (openSUSE & Win7) desktop PC!
What, then, can I do to be rid of those update prompts? (Note that I am hoping that at some point in a not too distant future, Mozilla will offer, for each new version, a WUS and an I'M THE MAN variant, where the latter allows the user to steer the vehicle, as it were... if this never materializes, then at some point (when I deem Firefox 28.0 to be too unstable to use any longer), I will ditch Firefox in favor of an alternative that retains a semblance of the male's hobby-garage look (as oppose to HER slick, everything-hidden, kitchen-cabinet look!).
Thanks!
I am running openSUSE 13.1 in dual-boot iwith Window 7, and it is only on the SUSE interface that I am having the problem (on Win7, earlier versions allow me to tick a 'don't install anything, ever' box via preferences, rather than having to seek a solution in about:config). Right now I am using Firefox 28.0, having force-downgraded from the latest version.The Link I gave you above won't tweak Firefox but rather give you a brief overview on what's new in Firefox 29.
The link below will show you how to customize Firefox 29 to look like previous versions of Firefox before 29.

I also mentioned you can toggle some prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating
You can set these prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br> -
Frequently when I reopen Firefox, I am greeted with a page that wants to reopen a previously viewed site. I '''never''' want this page to come up when I open Firefox. I only want the home page to open. If I want to revisit a site, I will personally go there the normal way. This is a feature of Firefox that could just as well be permanently removed. How do I change the settings in Foxfire so I always get what I want when I open Foxfire?
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. -
How do I set Firefox 30 preferences so I will stay signed in to various websites?
In all versions from 24 back I could close out the browser and stay signed in to several websites I use on a daily basis. After upgrading from 24 to 30 it signs me out of every website, even tho I have the keep me signed in boxes checked and I have FF preferences set to not clear cookies & to show windows & tabs from last time.
I'm not happy about v 30 as I had to install even more add-ons in order to make it more convenient to use. IMHO sometimes it's not always worth fixing when it's not broken, especially when options are removed and new ones make it less user-friendly and more like 'other' browsers. One reason I liked FF so much was that it wasn't IE or the 'other' browser. :-((
How do I set preferences so I don't have to sign back in to every website each time I open the browser?
Thank you.
PS, Why does FF keep asking me if I want to allow silverlight when I go onto ebay? And is that something I should allow? I never needed it or was asked before v. 30.
PSS, just an observation when when clicking on the automatic troubleshooting info, FF window popped up saying it was blocking it's own site. I'm not very techie, so would like to know the purpose of FF blocking its own site. Thanks again!Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
*Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep. -
My trashed emails are only showing for the month of October. My settings are to never delete trashed emails, so I should have a significant number of emails in there. I do see a few random emails before October. How do I get them all to show, I need to search them for a particular email. This is a .mac email account
If secureserver.net is IMAP then all emails will by definition come back unless you dragged emails into folders residing only "On My Mac" in Apple Mail on your previous machine. If secureserver.net is POP and your mail is not coming back, the only thing that could be from is the messages being deleted from the server, esp. if they aren't showing up in web mail. It's even possible that the thieves deleted all of your messages. Check you webmail's trash bin.
Do you have a backup? Can you contact your email provider about possible data recovery? Sorry, this sounds terrible! -
I want to know how to set firefox to remember my yahoo mail id and password. i've changed my password, but firefox only remember the old password. So, i've erased it in the security settings.
If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
Yahoo uses "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords, so you need to use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet.
You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.

How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?
Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
I have:
- Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
- Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

How do i set system preferences to delete file cache that is not being used
My file cache is using over a GB of memory. How do i set the system to free up memory that is being held but not used?
It's normal since Mavericks for almost all memory to be in use, either by applications or by the file cache. That's what you should want, since unused memory is going to waste. The relevant measure of whether memory is in short supply is what Apple calls "memory pressure."
Apple's explanation of memory pressure is here. If you want a more detailed, technical description, see here, and for the source code, see here.
