You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History" and "Permanent Private Browsing mode" should get a checkmark.
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history

If you have made changes from the default history settings then the "Use custom settings for history" setting will stay selected to make you aware of those changes.

If the setting is "never remember history", and user clear the caches/cookies and logs on a website will the previous setting of the user on the web app persis

ON the firefox, the setting is set to "Never remember history" .
I have a web site which sets the default value on the record per page dropdown list to 100 for every tab.
When I change the value to 5 and then logout. clear the caches/cookies . and then reload the page and then login to the website the value is showing as 5? why is it so? since the default value of the dropdown on fress login should be displayed as 100. I am facing this issue in Firefox 20.0.1 and on Internet explorer its working fine, the default value of the drop down is showing up as "100" . Let me know what behavior is expected on firefox on the above mentioned issue. This relates to firefox browser only.

Are you sure the setting is stored in an HTTP cookie (regular browser cookie), and not on the server or in some other kind of local storage (e.g., Flash LSO)?

I don't seem to be able to activate the Never Remember History in Privacy. It is set to Use Custom Settings, I change it to Never Remember History but whenever I open up options, it has reverted to Never remember history. How can I change it? Thank you

At the moment my privacy settings are Use Custom Settings in Private Browsing mode with no third party cookies. Recently however when I log out of hotmail the msn homepage comes up. So I decided to change to never remember history settings. However, whenever I change it, it always reverts back to Use Custom Settings. Why and how can I change it?
Thank you

Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

I can't print anymore, the "help" button doesn't work, and Firefox always sets to "Never Remember History" even if I change it

SO many issues with Firefox now! For one, it crashes quite a bit. I submit the crash report, and go from there. Keeps happening. But the main thing is this:
I go to "Options" and under "Privacy" it has "Never remember history" - I change it to "use custom settings for history", hit "ok" and then when I go back to it, it's back on "never remember history" already. What gives?
The issues I'm having right now is that I used to click on Print in my email (Yahoo) and pop-up blocker would stop it, but a dialog would pop up saying "try again", and I would hit that, and a separate window would open where I could print the email. Now, when I click on print, NOTHING happens. No box, no changes whatsoever. No pop-ups blocked, nothing at all. I mean, the button for "print" doesn't even react like I clicked on it. Nothing happens.
The other issue is that when there's a text box, if I start to type my email address, it suggests my email address. It never used to do this! I don't want this, either. How can I stop the suggesting of my email address. I don't want it to remember what I typed!
Another issue with Firefox is that when I click on the "menu" button in the top right, there's a question mark that says "open help menu" at the bottom. When I click on that, the help menu is EMPTY. I included a picture so you can see.
I've "reloaded Firefox", as well as downloaded another copy and actually reinstalled it. All these errors keep happening. How can I get them to stop or function correctly? What's causing them to work all wonky?

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.

"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

If FF is set to "Never Remember History" and I try to close it with multiple tabs open, it doesn't warn me first. If it remembers history, it warns me about closing multiple tabs. I want that warning AND Don't Remember History back again!

At work I set my PC to not remember history for privacy reasons.
I always have many tabs open, and the warning about closing multiple tabs was a good thing - but now it only works if it remembers history!
I have the "Warn me when closing...." box checked AND all of the lines in about:config regarding these warnings are set to true. I have tried turning it off and back on, restarted the PC.
I discovered this yesterday with FF 3.something, tried updating to FF4.

New Tab Contains History Even after clearing history and Privacy setting is set to "Never remember history"

I am using Firefox 14.0.1
I currently have "Never remember history" selected in the Privacy section underneath Tools->Options. I have even used the clear all current history option.
When I click the plus sign to open a new tab a history of the sites that I have visited is appearing. This is after clearing the history and closing all instances of firefox and opening it again.
I'm guessing that the "new tab" is using something other than history because when I type in a website it is not suggesting my recently viewed websites...as expected history was cleared.
I'd really like to know how to clear my entire history including the one that is used on the new tab section.

Did you drag a bookmark or history item to slots on the about:newtab page?
Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.
If you delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder then you need to reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to assure that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file gets initialized properly. 
Otherwise the about:home might not be working.

When I try to set my 'History Setting' to 'Use custom settings for history' it doesn't appply - it continually defults to 'Never Remember History' - how do I fix it?

When I got into my 'History Setting' and click on 'Use custom settings for history' it doesn't apply. I click on the 'OK' tab and it appears to apply and then closes. When I go back into it, in order to see if it applied, it has reset back to the 'Never Remember History'. How do I fix it?

If "Never Remember History" is displayed then that means that you are in Private Browsing mode and that all other history settings have the default value.

If you intend to run Firefox in Private Browsing mode the that is OK. 
Otherwise you need to leave mode.

Firefox keeps remebering history after setting "Never Remember History"

I have Firefox 24.0. I have always had my privacy set at never remember history and until about a month ago it worked fine. Now when I clear my cache with Ccleaner there is always 100-200mb of storage in the firefox temporary internet cache. Why is it no longer deleting these upon exit as it use to?

Cache and History are not the same things. They are also stored in different files in Firefox.
'''''What is the Internet Cache?''''' This is where Web pages and files (such as graphics) are stored as you view them. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because it is faster to open them from your hard disk than from the Web. The downside of this is that it takes up space on your hard disk, and it can sometime cause problems in loading a page that you have visited many times before.
'''''What is the Internet History?'''''
Your Internet history is a record of all the sites you have visited. This option gives you the ability to see what sites you have visited. If you visited a site and don't know what the name of the site is, you can try to find it in your history. After a certain number of days, this history will be cleaned out.
To clear both automatically when closing Firefox, go to ''Options > Privacy'' set "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history", next, check "Clear history when Firefox closes", click "Setting" to the right of that and check off items you want to clear when Firefox closes. Be careful with what you select as the deleted items can not be recovered.

I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
Thank you.

That is probably OK. 
You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

I have to set the option of "NEVER REMEMBER HISTORY" every time Firefox is opened. Why?

in using tools/options, the option to 'NEVER REMEMBER HISTORY' is lost when I close the browser and returns to 'USE CUSTOM SETTINGS FOR HISTORY' ...
How do I save the option I want?

Only if all settings are the default then you will see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
The "Use custom settings for history" setting reverts to "(Never) Remember history" if all History and Cookies settings are the default.
So if you get "Use custom settings for history" then at least one of the History / Cookie settings in not the default.

I have set Firefox to never remember history, and 'Stop private browsing' is accordingly greyed out in the options menu, but Firefox still remembers history items even after restart -- why?

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.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

In the options settings, try to set never remember history but doesn't set

reverts to custom settings for history

Firefox shows "(Never) Remember history" if the history and cookie setting are the default. 
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected. 
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab. 
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.
If you select "Never Remember history" then you enter Private Browsing mode and "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session" will be selected.

In the Options | Privacy | History setting, I have "Never Remember History" selected. If I change this and hit OK, then re-enter the option, my new settings are reset to "Never Remember History". Why won't it save my changes?

I am running on a clean install of Win7 64. FF Version 3.6.10.

Quote: ''If I change this and hit OK''
What do you change?
If you select "Never Remember History" then you enter Private Browsing mode: 
Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
To see all History settings, choose: Use custom settings for history
If all other history and cookie settings are the default then "Never Remember History" stays selected, otherwise "Use custom settings for history" is selected.

Can't set Firefox (29.0.1) to "Never remember history"

Any attempt to set Firefox (29.0.1) to "Never remember history" don't work. It always reverts to "Remember history".

Maybe this is a problem with a corrupet file, try go to you profile folder and rename or delete the pref.js file.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting?
I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
Thanks,
Mike

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
And, remember, at the onset I wrote
As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.
ATR
Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

How do I set the "never remember history"???
