How do I stop history from being deleted after 90 days?

I've noticed recently that my history keeps on getting removed after 90 days, the default setting. So, right now, my history only goes back to October 2011, when just yesterday it went back to September 2011. I have not deleted anything, it's done it itself. My privacy settings are set to simply 'Remember history' which I assumed would be indefinitely. I looked in the about:config and it told me that in a previous version of Firefox the "Keep history for n amount of days" setting, which doesn't show up on this version (9.0.1) was set to 9999, just as I left it. For some reason however, this does not seem to work anymore, and I'm losing more history everyday. Is there a place where everything is stored on the hard drive which I can just save for now until this is solved, or do I have to start saving things manually elsewhere other than on Firefox.

There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.<br />
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.<br />
You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.<br />
You can reset the no longer used browser.history_expire_days* prefs from older Firefox versions to remove them on the next start.
See:
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration
If you lose history after 90 days then it has been removed via other means like cleanup software or by deleting the history unless you have exceeded that maximum page limit.

How can I stop email from being deleted on computer?

I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4s today. Everything is working fine except my email. On my 3gs I had my email set up to never delete from the server that way I could delete the mail on my phone but not on my computer. With the new 4s I can't find the never delete from server option. Can anyone help me? It's a hotmail address that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!

Look in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap your hotmail account>Look through the settings (usually under Advanced)

How do i prevent my internet history from being deleted in firefox version 11.0?

Hi, I would like to stop my internet history from being deleted. I had stopped it when i was on version 7 i think. But now I have version 11 my internet history is being deleted.
Its when you click on history then show all history and from there it is being deleted and I need it to stop. I have fox filter and I am watching what my boys look at. But i have a feeling they are still getting through it as I have noticed that the istory is being deleted and there are cookies that relate to porn on the computer!
Thanks!

First, the version of Firefox that you are running is very very out of date and thus insecure. Please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] to download the latest and best version.
Now, you want to make it impossible to have any history deleted from Firefox? I'm not sure that there is a way to prevent that in Firefox (I will look for an addon to do that however).
I would take a look at the various [[Parental controls|Parental controls]] that are available in Firefox and Windows Vista however. In this case, I think a good content filter will probably be your best course.

How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].

Can I restore deleted history or keep history from being deleted?

My question pretty much summed it up. I would like to restore deleted history or at least see what was deleted, or keep history from being deleted altogether.

I do not like that firefox keeps harassing me to update it all the time. I Do not like that it has a private browsing feature and I want to know how to permanently get rid of this feature and never be bothered again by an update.

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
Can I ask two questions?
I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
"How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
I'll type in
"HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
Unless I manually got the space bar.
Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
Thanks in advanced.
Ps
I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@ and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@

and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebby

DearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK
HTH,
Randy

How do I stop texts from being seen on multiple devices on the same iTunes account

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now my texts are being viewed on another iphone connected to the same itunes account. How do I stop this from happening??

Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.

How do I stop updates from reactivating deleted apps?

Every time I update my phone, it brings back apps I've deleted. How do I stop this?

I have posted these suggestions many times and one or another have worked for other users in the past. Give them a try, but YMMV.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do I stop people from being redirected from my organization's website to another with a similar address and copied content (not a problem on IE or Chrome)?

My organization's website is: www.wallingfordseniors.org
Many people when using Firefox are being redirected to another website (www.wallingfordsseniors.org) which has lifted our content verbatim. Even when typing in our address, people get sent to the other one. This other website is being operated by an unknown entity and the hosting company has no contact information we can find to send a DMCA violation letter to. Anyway to keep people from going to the other site? For now all the links are the same but we are concerned that they will mess with our link to submit donations and route money to themselves with our donors thinking they are giving to us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Javier

It depends on how it's happening. For example:
* DNS Server glitch (OS or router level): however, you would expect the same result in all browsers
* Custom DNS/proxy setting in Firefox - users can check their connection settings as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] (network mini-tab under Advanced settings)
* Non-default search engine plugin -- if the user puts a space in the domain -- that doesn't display search results normally: user can make sure Google is selected
* Hijacked by a browser extension: user can try Firefox's Safe Mode
* Redirect hacked into your website (in .htaccess or a PHP/JSP/ASPX file under certain circumstances)
Once the wrong address is in Firefox's history, for example from making a typo once, users may find it hard to notice the difference when given autocomplete suggestions.
Hopefully you can track it down.

How do I stop itunes from also deleting music from my iphone or ipad when I delete it on itunes on my macbook pro?

I noticed that when I delete music or a movie from my macbook pro's itunes, the minute I connect the iphone or ipad, it automaticly removes the song from the devices. I am new to Mac so I am not sure how to prevent this from occuring. I know that when I was using my Windows PC to sync my devices, on the PC's itunes I could set it up to where I would be able to add or delete music to the devised manually without this worry. If anyone can offer me some help, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
