I am unable to delete Form & Search History (it's greyed out as an option to be deleted under the clear recent hisotry tab) help!

my son has used my computer to visit porn websites and I want to delete the Form and Search history so the drop down with these sites is eliminated. The instructions said to go to History > clear recent history and then chose Form and Search history, but it won't allow me to choose this (it's greyed out). How do I do this?

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • 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).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • When I delete using the "clear resent history", with all boxes checked, I still have a bunch of urls that won't delete.

    when you go to TOOLS>CLEAR RECENT HISTORY and check all the boxes, except "form & search history" is a light check mark and can't be changed. The top is set for "everything". When I click the clear now button. After a couple of minutes. The icon clears and I close the browser. When I click the browser and start putting in a url, Some urls that I was looking at still show up. These are not any of my favorites. How do I delete these sites???
    Thanks

    PS- I'm using firefox 4 and have windows 7.

    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.<br />

  • Firefox 8.1 downloaded today. Clearing everything, the Form & Search History will NOT clear. In 8.0 it did. Why now with 8.1?

    Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.
    I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are:
    Browing & Download History
    Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow)
    Next is Cookies
    then Cache
    Then Active Logins
    Then finishes up with Site Preferences.
    IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.

    You can attach images to posts (and replies) here. There's a box to upload them.
    There was only one mac-affecting change made in 8.0.1 which involved preventing a crash in the latest Java plugin. No other changes were taken. If you don't have the option to clear Form & Search History, this may be because you don't have any? Another possibility is that you have an extension that's preventing it. Can you go to Help > Troubleshooting information and paste here the extensions section?

    While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English

    As stated in 1.:
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."

    When you are in Album view in the Photos app - tap the edit button in the upper right corner - tap the X in the corner of the album to delete it.

  • I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

    I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

    That probably means that you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing"
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • How do I disable the "Clear Recent History" function in the tools drop menu?

    I've figured out how to disable the "Start Private Browsing" function, and would also like to delete the "Clear Recent History" and "Forget this site" options. I have teenaged children and would just like the options gone.

    Disabling it in Firefox itself wouldn't help, since the users would still be able to find the files in profile folder and delete them manually. If you want to disable that, you might log in as Administrator on your system and modify the permissions to the history file, but it would end up in Firefox (running at the user account) being unable to add data to the file as well.

  • Under Tools the Clear Recent History line is in shaded type and can't be accessed

    In the dropdown menu under Tools the Clear Recent History option is in lighter type and cannot be accessed. Please advise.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I just tried to clear history

    Check that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed)
    From the menu bar: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
    Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    You can't clear your recent history in [[Private Browsing]] mode, because there isn't any new history being kept.

  • The "Clear Recent History" option is not available in my version of FF (7.0.1). How can I restore that?

    The Firefox Help section describes how to clear history, cache, etc. by using the "Clear Recent History" option, but my version of Firefox (7.0.1) does not have that available.
    Is there a way to restore this option to my version?

    You will need to contact your company's IT department. If they have disabled that function, they have done so for security reasons and only they can undo the change.

    See the discussions at:

    Can be temporary with POP perhaps, but should work.  With IMAP, it is required that copies of messages be kept for local searching.
    More info, please.

    You're welcome
    Clearing Cookies can cause problems because Firefox also asks plugins to clear their cookies.

  • Using Mavericks OS, purchased program through App Store of which had problems with current OS, therefore deleted program with intent on reinstalling same from App Store, I am unable to redownload this program because it is greyed out and shows installed.

    Purchased application in App Store (Opus Domini). Did not play will with OS X Mavericks. Deleted program to re-download from App Store. However my list of purchases shows this program as installed and is greyed out. Need to re-download. Have talked with company and they are working on an update for OS however this will take some time.
    Thanks.

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

  • How do i prevent users to delete or disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu

    i wanted to disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu,
    because i want to restrict the people to delete browsing history.

    Even if you disable some items in the Tools > Clear Recent History list then it is still possible to remove history items in the History sidebar (View > Sidebar > History).

    Best would be to lock the corresponding privacy.cpd.* prefs via a file mozilla.cfg

  • When I try to delete my recent browsing history (mostly to delete the cache) the delete recent history button is greyed out so I can't click on it. How can I clear my cache?

    Under the history link there is a button "clear recent history" but it is greyed out so I can't click on it. I want to clear my cache because I hate autofill. I've already changed my settings so it won't remember anymore things, but how can I clear what's already there?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
