I can't "clear list" in the download box with the latest Firefox browser on any of my computers.

When I download a PDF or any file with firefox, the download box will appear like normal tracking the download until it's finished. Usually when the download is complete, you can click on "clear list" in the bottom left of the box to clear your download history, but with the latest version of Firefox none of my computers (I have two computers with Windows 7) can't click on "Clear List" as it is always greyed-out. Any help would be deeply appreciated, thank you.

This can happen if you run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

  • How can I remove livesearch from the Mozilla Firefox browser window?

    Somehow I got the live-search malware embedded into the Firefox browser window. I have tried to remove it using SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot-S7D, and Malwarebyte. Plus ran AVG. Did all four of these several times. But I still have livesearch.
    How do I get rid of it? Will uninstalling Firefox and the reinstalling it work. If I uninstall Firefox and reinstalling it, will I loos all my bookmarks?
    Please Help!
    Thanks,
    Naturewoman

    Generally speaking, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't solve most problems unless you remove all your personal settings, which I definitely do NOT recommend.
    These kinds of infiltrations can take some effort to remove. To make it easier, Firefox now had a "reset" feature which preserves your bookmarks but strips away custom settings and extensions, which are the source of most problems.
    You could try manually removing the "Printing Helper" extension and resetting your search settings first. If these don't help, then try the reset.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then run the Search Reset extension from here:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/

    Any luck?

  • The old version of firefox had print preview option - how can i do this in the latest firefox update?

    My old version of firefox had a little red firefox tab (top, left) with a pulldown menu offering print option,
    then a secondary menu offering print preview option. How can I access the print preview function in
    the latest version of firefox?

    When you use the new "3-bar" menu button, where you see the Print icon, that actually opens Print Preview. You can use Customize to move that to the main toolbar if you like.
    I created a map showing where the old menu items moved in the new menu. maybe it will be useful? http://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/menu/comp.php

  • I can no longer find a manage bookmarks tab anywhere in my (the latest) Firefox browser.

    I have been using browsers for over 15 years, and Firefox for about 10. After the next to last Firefox upgrade I was no longer able to find a manage bookmarks tab. I can bookmark a page and place it in an existing folder, but I can no longer create folders, arrange tabs alphabetically in a folder or delete folders. I have searched everywhere for help, but found none on point.
    By the way, it was very annoying that after I had typed in a question about the same as above, I then went to Troubleshooting Information and tried to find help, but when I was unable to do so and I returned to this page, my question was gone and I had to start over again.

    OK working now ... for some reason the bookmarks screen was behind the Firefox screen ... duh .... how about renaming this function something which indicates it has an edit function? Like in the past ...

  • I use Winamp and now the latest Firefox, is there any reason why I should not uninstal Internet explorer and windows media player, please advise.

    OS WinXP Home, service pack 3

    If I may, I see that you are using xp, but since its support is finished, for security reasons I advise you to go under windows 7 (if your pc allows).
    Well, I say that, but it's up to you :)
    It's the apprentice technician that is talking lol ;)

  • In the latest Firefox where "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how does one automatically clear only the download history

    In light of the latest Firefox and the fact that it does not listen to my download retention setting and that "browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" no longer exists, how do I clear the download history automatically after each download without clearing browser history too? If this is not an option then it is either a serious bug or an important feature removed. If this continues, this is a big reason for me to discontinue using firefox. Really guys! Why?!

    then that is really awful. why was this done? maybe it is time to change browsers if this is not corrected soon. yes, corrected, as I see this as a major bug.
    thank you for your help though.
    Oh, wait, the downloads I keep seeing are not located in any particular folder but scattered across my computer in different folders I manually save them to. Would this make any difference? In any event, I can still see the download history, and I so much prefer the old way.

  • Problem with Pages.  I have recently been unable to open Pages, or any documents from Pages on my iMac.  Pages seems to be in the Cloud and can open a list of the documents in Pages, but can't open any of those documents.

    Recently unable to open Pages or any documents therein.  It seems to be stuck in the Cloud.  Although I can open a list of the documents I can not open any of the documents. 

    The answer is simple...  If you want to remedy this, then don't save them as PDFs.
    Word opens Word and text documents.  Not PDFs.

  • I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?

    I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?
    I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.

    Hello Kencrews,
    When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
    Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.

  • Since I update the latest Firefox download, I do see a secure lock symbol for webpages that have always been secure. Why is this? How can I be sure my info is not exposed to everyone?

    Padlock is no longer part of Firefox. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

  • My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade  to get the latest game apps and such?

    My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade  to get the latest game apps and such?

    You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod.  If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
    "I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1.  What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below. 
    I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest.  I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on).  Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1. 
    This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

  • I have an iMac and the latest Firefox; however, I *can't* get auto-fill to work...I do a lot of repetitive data entry and auto-fill/auto-complete IS NOT WORKING

    I downloaded the auto-fill app for firefox (latest version) and have the latest firefox version, yet none of the autofill works whenever i do it once.
    i've even restarted firefox, shut down my iMac for a while, started firefox up again, nothing.
    i do A LOT of repetitive data entry and this is getting frustrating for me to work from home.
    help, please! *thanks in advance!*

    We apologize that you are experiencing issues with some Firefox feature.
    When typing in a text field, does is drop-down list appear when typing?
    If not, please '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    Thank you.

  • I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    Question
    I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • I downloaded the latest Firefox security update and my computer will no longer access the internet in any fashion, despite the fact that I'm still connected to the internet. Other browsers no longer work either.

    Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.

    What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
    Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.
