How to disable history from new tab page without disabling the new tab page entirely?

As the title states. I have read countless questions on this and none ever give a working answer. So I will try again. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that even though I delete my browsing history after every time, my browsing history still shows up on the new tab page. Which proves that Firefox is actually NOT deleting my browsing history like it says. So how do I STOP that from happening? I don't want my browsing history to show up anywhere. At all. Ever. For any reason. Is that impossible with Firefox? That would put it in first place for world's worst browser if your browsing history is permanent like mine is right now. Huge security hole much?? So how do I make it stop once and for all. But I still want the new tab page there, but ONLY with the sites I have pinned to it. Nothing else. EVER.

First off, let's start by updating you to the latest Firefox, 32.0.3. ([[Update Firefox to the latest version]]). Firefox 20, which you are running, is suspect to MANY security issues (including one fixed just yesterday that affects the entire internet and allows websites to pretend to be any website they want to be), plus it has it's own bugs and issues in Firefox itself.
After you've updated, let's see if we can't get this sorted out. Are you saying that when you clear your history the new tab page doesn't clear? Are you using the default new tab page or do you have any new tab page add-ons installed?

    Although you have posted in a Mavericks forum, implying that you have a Mac computer, your profile doesn't say that you have one. Printer Pro requires the printer to be connected to a Mac.

  • How do I change from my old email provider to the new one so when i click on a web link I dont get the old proviser which I no long have?

    Often webpages contain links to someone who can be contacted just by clicking on the contained link and then one's email service pops up with the required email address etc filled in. However i have recently change service provider and I still get the old provider showing which I no longer have, when I click on such website links. How do I get the new provider to show?

    For Firefox you would generally have Use system default if on your system , or choose a web based system such as GMmail
    :T00ls > Options > Applications > mailto: (drop down has choices)
    Windows OS
    :Control Panel > Default Programs > choose program if on your system or Firefox if web based email

  • How do i print from indesign (CS4) landscape without losing the edges.

    i'm a PC to MAC newbe. Also moved from CS2 toCS4.
    can't for the life of me figure out how to print from indesign in landscape layout without losing the left 2.5 inches of print. having the same trouble with #10 envelopes.
    your help would be appreciated!

    Usually this problem has to do with choosing the correct size and orientation of paper, both page size and print paper size.
    IOW, if you want to print to a #10 envelope, start a new document that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope. Then when you print it, choose a paper size that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope.
    What size page are you printing, and what paper size are you choosing when you print it?

  • From Word to PDF without changing the Number of pages

    When I convert a document of 320 pages from Word 2013 to PDF using Acrobat, the number of pages jump to 331, changing the footnotes, sections...How to fix it? Tx

    To expand on Michael Kazlow's response, the problem isn't caused by Windows, but rather how Microsoft Office applications format their text. The issue isn't only with Word, but also with every other Office application as well. Furthermore, it isn't a matter of whether you create the PDF using the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, but rather, when you compose the document while the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance is the default/current printer within Word!!!
    These applications format text using font metrics normalized to the resolution of the current output device. Thus, if you are displaying a document in Word and the current printer selected (usually the default printer you have selected in Windows when you start up Word) has a device resolution of 600dpi, the document is formatted with each character's space measured in units of 1/600 of an inch. If you change the current printer or print to a printer that has a different resolution set, Word reformats the document using font metrics based on the new resolution. In the case of the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, by default, the resolution is 1/1200 of an inch. Typically, more text will fit on a page with long text lines when higher resolution is used and less text will fit on a page with long lines when a lower resolution is used. If your default printer is a high resolution inkjet printer, you may see resolutions as high as 2400 dpi, for example.
    Microsoft Office applications are also known to reformat pages based upon other metrics such as printable area.
    These issues don't just affect PDF creation, but also printing to different devices yielding different line endings and pagination.
    To further complicate matters, when you either Save as PDF using Office's own PDF creation facility or even Save as Adobe PDF using Acrobat's PDFMaker facility (part of Acrobat), Office uses yet a different mechanism to reformat the page, also yielding inconsistencies in line ending and pagination from what you see on the screen and/or in print directly from Word to a particular device. (We don't know exactly what mechanism Microsoft is using in these cases to cause the discrepancies.)
    Users of Office and Adobe have complained to Microsoft about this general behavior for over 20 years and apparently it is not of any priority to Microsoft to resolve this.

  • How to send mail from adobe interactive form without opening the outlook

    Hello all,
    When the end user press the submit button i want it to send the XML data without opening the outlook or other mail application.
    Is there a way to do this?
    I tried javascript codes to send mail with UI = false but it did not work.
    Thank you all in advance,
    Eran

    mailForm
    Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
    Returns: nothing
    This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
    with or without user interaction depending on the value of  bUI.
    If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
    If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
    You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
    The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
    Example:
    /* This will pop up the compose new message window */
    this.mailForm(true);
    /* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
    this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
    Note:
    This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
    default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
    I had to change the code:
    instead of this.mailDoc :
    var myDoc = event.target;
    myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );       
    But the outlook new message window still opens...
    Any Idea's?

  • When I open new tabs, how do I set my tabs to open to the same web page every time?

    I have my home page set, but I don't see an option to set what site my tabs open with. I did have a website opening in my tabs, but it wasn't a change I made. According to one of the help articles, an extension may have changed what site kept appearing in new tabs. Now, my tabs are back to the eight tiles, but I'd like to set them to a specific website. How do I make this change to my tabs?

    You will have to open the <b>about:config</b> page and set the new tab page by changing the value of the browser.newtab.url pref via the right-click context menu as stated in the KB article.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • How can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

    how can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

    Good morning graywright,
    It sounds as if what you are wanting to do in the Pages application is to insert a Page Break. Follow the steps in this article -
    Pages '09: Inserting a Page Break
    In a word processing document, click where you want the break to occur, and then choose Insert > Page Break. 
    To remove a page break, click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.
    In a page layout document, to insert a new page in your document, click Pages in the toolbar and choose from the template page options available.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L 

  • What code to navigate from page without opening a new page?

    Hello, I have a flash button embedded into a css/HTML page that I want to use to navigate into a new page without opening a new window. Here's the code I'm using in the SWF which I got from the adobe tv tutorial:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/buttons-and-interactivity-in-flash-cs4
    Here is the test page that I have embedded the flash button in: http://ianmartinphotography.com/testers/index-flash.html
    The flash button is the "about Ian" button on the upper left. I want the navigation to be like the traditional rollovers on the page. (I'm working my way up to having the embedded flash button fade into place, that's why I'm using flash.)
    // 1. Event handler function
    function clickHandler (Event:MouseEvent): void
       trace("CLICK!");
       navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://ianmartinphotography.com/about.html"));
    // 2. Assign listener 
    about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
    I just want to go to a different page, not open a new window. How should I change this code to do that? Thanks!
    -Ian

    If you look up the navigate ToURL function in the help documents it lists all of the window options available.  For your case you can use:
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://ianmartinphotography.com/about.html"), "_self");
