How to remove tab history.

Despite clearing history, setting remember history to never, etc., still Firefox remembers my history in the tabs when I open a new tab. It shows certain sites. This is clearly in direct opposition to the clear history settings I have obviously selected, violating my privacy.
Aside from the cognitive dissonance of a browser that is supposed to be secure being completely insecure, and people not having stopped using it entirely, I assume either someone knows how to turn off tab history, or people are naively using Firefox thinking it is a secure browser.
If the first is the case, and people do know how to turn off tab history, I would like a clear explanation of how to do that, something not only a technical geek could understand.

Type about:config in url address bar. Click, "Yes, I'll be careful!" when warned about about voiding your warranty. In search box at top of next page, type: browser.newtabpage.enabled. Double click on the resulting search result to change value from "true" to "false". Voila!! No more history showing when you open a new tab!! :-)

  • How to remove tab stops at one shot after importing a word document

    HI everyone,
    This is my first post in Framemaker Community as I am moving from RH to FM.
    I have an issue with respect to importing word documents to Framemaker.
    After I have import a word to doc to FM multiple tab stops are created.
    Now, although I remove the tab stops manually once, If I place my mouse in the next line , the tab stops are seen again.
    Is there any shortcut wherein I can remove tab stops at one go after I import a word document in Framemaker.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Parag

    This would change all tabs to ordinary spaces. You can actually just type a tab and space character, but I used the hex notation so you see what you're doing. The space could be any other character(s) you desire, or no characters at all (make sure the To Text: field is empty).
    Hex codes?

  • How to remove update history

    I know how to stop the automatic updates but how do I remove or hide the history of every update?
    I.E "updated 23 October 2013", "updated 29 September 2013"
    Please help

    Hey,
    What update history do you mean?
    Do you mean the Windows update history?
    In your case I wouldnt delete it because in my opinion its important to know what updates are installed if an update causes a problem for example.
    I wouldnt delete, thats my personal opinion

  • How to change tab history to a list instead of thumbnails

    When i open a new tab in Firefox the former visited history appears as thumbnails. How to change the past history to a LIST instead

    Please see this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    The '''new Tab page''' isn't intended to be a text listing of recent browsing history, but rather a visualization of "top sites" that you visit based upon the number of visits over time. There is nothing built into Firefox to switch over to a text listing, and I am unaware of an add-on available to display a text list of recent browsing history, either.

  • HT5364 How to clear tabs history

    How do you clear the tabs browsing history in Safari? Thanks.

    You should be able to hide items by going into the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page :
    Then select Apps on that Purchased screen :
    And then select the 'iPhone' or 'iPad' button just below that, and the 'All' button to the right of the Music Films tabs.  If I then hover my mouse pointer over one of the apps I get an 'x' on it :
    Is that where you are going to try and hide them ? Only apps that are still in the store will be shown

  • Removing tab from VA01

    HI EXPERTS
    I searched on sdn on how to remove tab from va01 and created a transaction variant through shd0
    i made the tab appearing at item level data invisible but when i test it it still shows that tab please help.
    being specific i need to remove the  tab " Request for Quote Addln Data" at item level detail , this is the last tab .

    Hi
    If you want to put the  tabs in invisible mode  then you have to use SHD0 only. Even 'Request for Quote Addnl Data'  can be done using SHD0 . But also make sure that you are putting  in invisible mode . So once again you run SHD0 then check wheather you are able to see that tab or not

    in cshrc:

  • How do I find my tab history? I had hard drive issues and when I launched my browser after getting it back their was no "restore session" option. I know a tab history is kept, just don't remember where or how to exercise it. Thanks

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do i remove tabs on top in v 33.1

    i just did a restore firefox action because i had a firefox message stating that could speed up my browser. After doing this, it has defaulted to putting my tabs on top. i really don't like tabs on top and want to change that setting. i read in one forum that i needed to change the setting in about:config. However I do not see the referenced tabsontop setting that was referenced. Ho can i remove tabs on top?
    Bonus question: I have always liked having the description of the icons in the menu bar available. i.e. the home icon not only displays a house, but the text "home" as well.
    thanks in advance for any assistance!

    <blockquote>
    Note that you can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css because you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order).

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • How to remove history in the location bar? Deleting history and then using "History" only in the settings for the location bar does not remove old history.

    I want to remove ''old History'' in the Location bar.
    I am using Firefox 3.6.13.
    "Clear recent history" does not remove the old History in the Location bar. And changing the setting to only show "History" does also not remove the old history.
    Pressing "Delete" on single lines when opening the list by clicking the arrow to the right in the location bar, remove the entries temporary. But next time you type in the location bar, the same suggestions are there.

    See:
    * [[Clearing Location bar history]]
    * [[Cannot clear Location bar history]]
    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.
