I am unable to clear my entire history...all disappear except one website

I want to have my history cleared automatically and I have set all of the appropriate settings, but one site continues to show on the drop down no matter what I do...all other sites are cleared
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Sorry to have bothered here. It's just that Firefox makes you jump through hoops to delete your entire browsing history. I figured that out by going into the Options and changing the very high number of days (something like 90, as I recall) that they keep stuff on, down to 1, and also telling it to delete my history every time I log off. Hope this helps others.

How do I clear my entire history, and not just one website at a time?

There are no details just the guestion.

I have Gingerbread, so I can't check the ICS menus myself. If you click the 3 vertical dots to the right of the tab number, can you find Settings and then "Clear Private Data"?
(By click I meant tap...)

Unable to clear Google search history in Safari

I am unable to clear old searches in Safari. None of the following has any effect: using the clear recent searches button, totally resetting Safari, deleting all history and cache and trying to delete each individual search item manually, or by changing default search method. These are old items, not recent searches, but they continue to show up in the recent search area. It appears to be a bug. Any ideas how to REALLY clear out the search cache?
THANKS

Seem to have finally fixed it by deleting the safari plist entry.

I am unable to clear Bing search history. Bing says this is an issue with Firefox.

I recently found that I was able to clear my Bing.com search history with the exception of five searches all done on one day. Attempts to clear give this message "We can't clear your search history right now. Please try again later." Nor am I able to clear the searches individually.
Bing customer service suggested it was related to Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and opened the site with another Browser. No change.
Any suggestions as to how to deal with this problem.

So both browsers you tried give the identical error message that Bing is unable to clear the history right now? It does sound like a Bing problem in that case.
Note: I assume this is history on the Bing website, and not Firefox's search bar or a Bing toolbar.

How can I close ALL tabs and clear the entire history?

Since an update, I can no longer clear all my history... I cannot close a remaining tab. As much as thios has been my favorite browser, I am annoyed at the failure to protect privacy, and am considering deleting this entire program. Please give me a way to correct this and return to an earlier version.

To close the tab you're viewing, you can press Ctrl+w. Does that still leave an uncloseable tab? Is it a built-in page or a page on the web?
There are many methods to delete history in Firefox. Which is the one you're using to clear history? Is it one of these?
* Menu: History > Clear Recent History
* Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h): select entire list > right-click > Delete this page
In case you are having difficulties with regular vs. private browsing windows after the changes in Firefox 20, see whether this article helps: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].

I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

I am unable to clear "Form & Search History" because that option is not available. How do I unclick it?

When I close Firefox, I clear everything except the "Form & Search History" which is greyed-out so I can't access it. Also, the options I can choose are not saved by Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

I'm Unable to Clear Awesome Bar History

HTC Droid Incredible
I've seen this question asked but no solution was forthcoming...
Only recently I noticed that the Awesome Bar History will not clear. I habitually use the ‘Clear Private Data’ option. However, the All Pages list will not delete. Any insight?

hi, I found this in Help at 1734 BST in UK. It's a bit down the page. I use a netbook. Maybe this is for laptops, netbooks.

Today my pinned apps, tab groups and history ALL disappeared, and my settings were changed to "Clear history when Firefox closes." How can this happen!?

I've had several pinned apps, tab groups etc that always reappeared when I closed and opened Firefox. I always had history stored without a problem.
Today I opened Firefox, and my pinned apps, tab groups, and history were all gone, and the option to Clear history when Firefox closed was checked. I did NOT do that. How could that happen? I definitely need to avoid this happening again!!
Please help! Thanks!

If you didn't do that yourself and nobody else has used the computer then an extension may have made that change.
I see in your list that you have some Norton extensions (toolbars) installed that could cause it, but others may do this as well.

What will happen if I clear my entire list of browsing history

I keep having the error message that says, "not responding". I am afraid to clear the browsing history because I might lose everything I have saved. Please let me know what I need to do and how safe is it to delete the entire list of browsing histroy.

The term "history" has two possible meanings: one is just narrowly the pages you have visited and when you visited them, and another is all your personal data. For example, if you use the Clear Recent History dialog and expand it to show the checkboxes, you can see what might be cleared in that process.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Could you try these two diagnostic tests to see whether we can narrow down the cause of the problem?
(1) Firefox's Safe Mode
This is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
(2) Disable Flash until you approve it
By default, any site can use Flash. This permission setting changes that so sites can't use Flash without your approval. This can help diagnose whether the Flash plugin is responsible for the non-responsiveness.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
On the right side, look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
Now, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
You only need to allow Flash if it looks as though it would be helpful.
Any difference?

Unable to clear a GR document via f.13

Hi,
My user is unable to clear a GR document via F.13 since the IR document had been clear with other document.
It was noted that GR document do not have a matching document.
User try to clear the GR document manually via F-03 by manual entering the clearing to offset but this leaves the clearing document as open.
Please advise.

Hi,
Above credit entry in GR/IR account is at the time of GRN, and 2nd debit entry in GR/IR account will be at the time of Invoice. see below entry.
Debit GR/IR 690
Cr. A/P(vendor) 690
Therefore in GR/IR account is open item manage account, and you can see the debit 690 and credit 690, in GR/IR account, and this you have to clear in F.13 please check and confirm.
You can also view the PO history in ME23N, to verify that the invoice is posted or not, and if invoice is posted, then click on invoice doc, then go on followup FI document, which will show you what account has been debit.(this should be GR/IR with 690).
Your vendor invoice will be cleared once you it pay it through F110/F-53/F-58.
Regards
Javed

How could I delete a single message on messages beta for OS X instead of having to clear the entire chat conversation?

It might just be my OCD acting up but sometimes when a message does not send, I would rather simply delete it instead of resending it since it no longer becomes pertinent to the conversation. I have been unable find a solution except clearing an entire conversation which is not what I would like to do. Thanks for any help.

Restore the entire device from the most recent backup (hopefully created prior to erasing the converstation history). This will put the ENTIRE device back exactly as it was when the backup was created.
