How do I stop auto complete on the browser search line

I am operating in private search. I have deleted search history. But when I begin to type a topic for search, Firefox suggests previous history of searches matching the letters I've typed in thus far. I'd like to stop that and clear everything.

Right Click in the Search Box and uncheck Show Suggests.
or
Options > Privacy > Location Bar > When using the location bar suggest > Select Nothing

  • How do I stop auto-complete of URl's?

    When I type a URL I get at autcomplete of suggested URL's I have typed in the past and a drop down list of URL's I have typed in the past. How to I turn this off or at least clear it? I have already tried clearing my history and auto complete and I am still getting that.

    The only way I know how to clear it is not a good way. It would be *Reset Safari* which to me would be overkill. He would be better off not leaving any evidence to have to clear. Tell your friend to go to Safari in the menu bar. Now click *Private Browsing*. That will allow him to surf to his hearts content and nothing is saved to the autofill or other incriminating places:->
    This is what it says when you get ready to activate it.
    +When private browsing is turned on, webpages are not added to the history, items are automatically removed from the Downloads window, information isn't saved for AutoFill (including names and passwords), and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search box. Until you close the window, you can still click the Back and Forward buttons to return to webpages you have opened.+

  • How do I disable auto complete in the Mail program?

    I have to type e-mail in more than one language on my iPod Touch, and Mail's auto complete feature is causing me a lot of trouble. It's making ridiculous word suggestions and typing these words if I don't touch a teeny-tiny X in the auto complete tag. The X is so small that often as not my finger ends up confirming the suggestion, rather than deleting it.
    For example, if I have to type the German word "kann" (which I very often have to, because it means "can"), the Mail program types in the name of the Indian language "Kannada", which I NEVER need.
    One solution would be to switch the language settings before typing e-mails, but that takes too much time, and the iPod Touch doesn't have support for some of the languages I have to type.
    How can I just disable that auto complete feature? I don't see it in the manual.

    Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
    But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.

  • How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

    Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
    When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

    The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
    However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

  • How do I stop Firefox from sharing my browsing/search information with Yahoo?

    I am getting targeted ads on Yahoo web pages. Firefox is supplying the data to Yahoo. I want this stopped. Is it possible or do I have to dump Firefox? Do Not Track is enabled.

    As of Dec 1, 2014 Yahoo is the preferred default search engine for Firefox in the USA, but the user is free to select a different "default" for their Firefox installation. I truly doubt that Yahoo is tracking your searches via a search engine that is in Firefox. If in fact Yahoo '''is''' tracking you I would expect it to be done via that Yahoo Application State Plugin - but I can't say for sure.
    http://www.freefixer.com/library/file/npYState.dll-45473/
    ''Not an endorsement of the program offered at that website - just a FYI about the Yahoo Application State Plugin.''
    Please check your Installed Programs panel in the Control Panel ''[or whatever it is called in Win8]'' and uninstall whatever Yahoo program you find you have installed.

  • How do I add Auto Complete and how in the world do I get searches to open in a new page.

    I just downloaded FireFox and need help with two things.
    One how do I get auto complete in FireFox. The download has removed this feature in my Google toolbar.???
    and two how do I get the searches set to open in a new window. I do not like tab browsing.
    I went to tools and checked the box to open new windows in a new tab, but i don't see this happening. Maybe I am just assuming that this is the right setting to select.
    I just want my searches to open in a new window, not in the same window or tab.
    I have Firefox, Google, Bing and Norton search bars. I need all 4 in my business.
    Before the download I was at least able to get Google, Bing and Norton to open in new windows but now they are not. Nothing from any of the search bars will open in a new window

    Did you install the Google Toolbar for Firefox? It has its' own autofill setup, separate from the rudimentary "form fill" that Firefox has. It also has its' own Searchbar, with its' own settings..
    If you are talking about having searches from the Firefox Search Bar open in a new Tab. ''There is no setting for opening a search in a new window.'' <br />
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click that preference to toggle it to '''''true''''', then restart Firefox

    How can I stop auto download of attachments without tapping on them? Once I open a mail, the attachment automatically starts downloading, though it is written as "tap to download". Please help..

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.
    Regards.

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions (deleting an app won't stop it) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    In terms of a refund, what does it say on the app's description page in the store (a lot say that refunds aren't given) ? But you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • TS3147 How do I stop auto updates for an HP printer I no longer have?

    I keep getting auto update notices for a printer I have discarded.  How do I stop this?  Within the last year my "HP" printer quit and I replaced it with a "Brother" printer.  It is annoying to keep getting the HP irrelevant update notifications.  I removed the HP printer info in the application folder on my hard drive, but that did not help.

    I use Find File myself.  I think it has been discontinued.

  • How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

    How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

    Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
    Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

  • How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?

    How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
    I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
    "Junk" folder on 'account name'
    or
    Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
    I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
    Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
    Thank you,
