I can't delete "Form and Search History". Why?

When I try to delete,it shows the box to check to clear "Search and Form History",but the box is inactive and can't be checked. This has been going on for a week that I know of.

Hi snarble,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode or tried using a new profiles?

You might want to check in ''Tools > Options > Privacy'' to see if you've disable History. It won't let you clear something if there's no history saved.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Deleting Forms and Search History is Dictating my freedom

    Is this a trick? I used to be able to freely delete my forms and search history. Now the checkbox on the delete everything dialog box is disabled, and unchecked! When I ask to delete everything, I mean everything, please. I should be able to make the decision myself, not have it made for me by Google, the government, or some script kiddie. Please give our freedom back, and make the delete forms and search history accessible.
    Furthermore, please, please, delete everything and shred it, if that is what the user wants (Unlike Microsoft with Pending Deletes, and Google with its Autocratic Internet takeover policies. And what is with all the google and chrome junk in the about:config anyway?)
    I used to love Firefox because it seemed like a Freedom Fighter, but now I have deleted it from all Windows systems and all but one Linux system, because it seems like it is selling out. On the sales pitch page, Firefox purports to be working for greater Internet freedom, but the closer you look, it seems two-faced.
    I will watch the status of Firefox on that one system, and if it improves, I might allow it back on the other systems. Otherwise, I might just fork it like IceWeasel or even find something else, eventually.

    No it's not a trick. You should be able to check-mark Form and Search History in Clear Recent History. Any chance that "Remember search and form" history is not selected in the Privacy tab of Options?
    I have also seen reports from some users that their security suite on Windows PC "took over" many of the Clear Recent History items and locked out users from changing the status of any item in Clear Recent History, but I can't see something occurring with Linux versions of Firefox.

  • Form and search history is disabled- can you tell me why this is and give me some simple steps to fixing it?I've tried reading forums and support to no avail :(

    For some reason, when I try and click on form and search history under the clear history tab it's greyed out (all of the other options for clearing history are available)
    I don't seem to be able to find any answers to WHY this is (which I would like to know) and also I've tried to follow instructions (factory reset firefox, restart computer etc) but for some reason it doesn't make any difference and I really don't know what to do. I'm not particularly tech savvy so any help would be really really appreciated

    This happens if there is no form history to clear (you probably already cleared it).
    Is saving form history enabled?
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    Firefox won't save new form data if you are in Private Browsing mode.

  • 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!

    Try to exclude the cookies from the clear history settings and let the cookies expire at the end of the session instead.

  • Can't delet form autolocation item. arrow down ,press delete nothing

    follow the procedure delet indivdual form entry but did not delete.
    tried to clear form and search history, no luck

    I have had the same issue and had to go through Oracle Support to get it working.
    First of all make sure that you have a recent patch installed (patch 9 as being the latest one available).
    Second, set in the data block the property key mode to updatable and the property primary key to yes for one item of the data block. (this is bug 1561423)
    Make sure that you only modify those columns that are updateable.
    Quite a large number of bugs have been reported on the concept of updatable views and the installation of a recent patch will most definitely get you working again.
    This functionality does work !
    Goodluck,

    Hi Niel,
    There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
    and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
    If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
    or dumps in ST22?
    If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
    and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
    to correct any errors.
    If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
    to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
    remodelling rule again.
    Best Regards,
    Des.

    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

    Hello CTGame,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason
