I cannot completely Clear Recent History; one url keeps showing up even after clearing. Why?

When I click on the Clear Recent History button, it appears that all categories are cleared. However, when I log back on, the drop-down menu of the URL bar shows that one previous URL from October 3, 2011, has not been cleared--has never been cleared, in fact. It is always the same address, which is: us.mc393.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?gx=/&.tm=1317702807&.rand=42rlbj6nchdgv#_pg=showMessage&sMid=3&&filterBy=&.rand=248392308&midIndex=38...
It is the only item to appear in the drop-down menu.
Why is this happening, and how do I clear the history completely?
Thank you.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Sounds like the optical drive may be on it's way out. It should be possible to connect the Mac to one of the others by firewire and do the installation by booting from the install disc in the donor Mac, then choosing the remote HD as the target when prompted.

  • History - recent history -time range not showing

    Hi i have a problem with clearing my recent history.
    The problem is my time range to clear is buged and not showing.
    I tried with reinstalling firefox and clearing all settings but it didn't help.
    So i decided to write here for some help.
    Thanks

    I've installed the Bulgarian Firefox version and I see the same small Clear Recent History window.
    The DOM Inspector shows a width of 14em and that is really too small compared to what I get with the en-US version (width: 34em).
    Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line to increase the default width.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #SanitizeDialog {width: 34em !important;}</nowiki></pre>
    See:
    *view-source:chrome://browser/locale/sanitize.dtd
    Sounds that something got wrong here and maybe a bug should be filed:
    <pre><nowiki><!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE (dialog.width2): width of the Clear Recent History and
    Clear History on Shutdown dialogs. Should be large enough to contain
    the item* strings above on a single line. The column width should be set
    at half of the dialog width. -->
    <!ENTITY dialog.width2 "14em"> (shouldn't this be at least 28em ?)
    <!ENTITY column.width2 "14em"></nowiki></pre>
    The sanitize.dtd in the en-US locale:

  • I have set Firefox to never remember history, and 'Stop private browsing' is accordingly greyed out in the options menu, but Firefox still remembers history items even after restart -- why?

    I have just downloaded Firefox after reformatting my hard drive so I was not upgrading -- I wonder if I am missing a file which would have been there if I was upgrading from an earlier version.
    Not much else to say: I ticked the relevant boxes.

    If you set "Firefox will: Never remember history" then you enter Private Browsing mode immediately.
    You can see a grayed "Tools > Stop Private Browsing" to confirm that.
    This doesn't affect already stored History, but Firefox won't add new visited links to the History.
    If you want to remove sites from the History then you need to do that yourself.
    You can (temporarily) set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo] to ''0'' to clear the ''Recently Closed Tabs'' list.
    Use the ''Reset'' context menu item to re-enable ''Undo Closed Tabs'' with the default value if you want to re-use that feature.
    You can temporarily set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0 to reset the Recently Closed Windows list,
    However there appears to be always one window left that is only removed if you close and restart Firefox.
    You can avoid that by closing all tabs before closing the window with only an empty tab left.
    Set the pref '''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab''' to ''false'' on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser.

  • Cannot generate a Key. Manage Account menu doesn't show up even after following Help articles. Correct username, e-mail and password. I already have a Firefox Sync Account but cannot Add a Device. No way to Sync due to no Key.

    I cannot generate a Key to Sync between two computers. Manage Account menu doesn't show under Options > Sync > Firefox Sync Setup > I already have a Firefox Sync Account > I don't have the Device with me. No Sync Key no matter how hard I tried.

    Yes I did. '''''I solved this issue last night.''''' First I had to Clear My Sync Data, then Yes I Already Have a Sync Account [enter User, Password] and only then the Key appeared in its proper field. Went to the 2nd computer and wrote down the Key after I Already Have a Sync Account. The bottleneck was to enter into Mozilla server after resetting pass and user, and then, clear data.

  • VALUE IN PO HISTORY OF SERVICE ENTRY SHEET EXIST EVEN AFTER DELETION OF SES

    Respected All,
    My client has prepared a down payment request , prepared a service purchase order against that vendor, created service entry sheet.
    Later on he came to know that the qty he has entered is wrong ,so  he reversed all the goods receipt(done 102 Mvt) , deleted the service entry sheet and now trying to create new SES against the same line through ML81N.
    But the Qty column after selection of services is coming blank, i have checked the po history, in that the GR Qty and value is zero and service Qty is zero but service value and down payment column still contains the value, though we have reversed the service entry seet.
    please guide me what to do to reflect the qty part in ML81N again.
    Thanks and Regards
    Abhay Mahodaya

    can you see the material document with reverse movement ( 102 ) ,corresponding to your cancelation of SE sheet in the P.O history tab?
    also check whether the 'actual quantity' in the Service entry extreme right column shows zero.
    check in the deleted SE sheet history tab 'change document' button whether the last row change mentioned is setting deletion indicator

  • Hp photosmart 3210 all-in-one - some colors not printing even after changing cartridges.

     I recently had an issue while printing a document. the content was off colored and the error message said black was low. Changed the black cartridge and things just got worse from there. Still no black, cleaned the printheads, printed another test page and no longer had magenta or lt magenta. Replaced those as well. the only had yellow, magenta and lt. magenta.  yellow was low as well, so now every cartridge has been changes.Tried to print document again and it printed in magenta and lt magenta. never have seen black again and the self test diagnostic page is printing in purple. What should be black showed up as purple with lines and yellow is a rainbow of mustard, magentas and purples. no other colors show up. WHAT IS GOING ON? have tried several times to align the printer but it always fails. Have cleaned the printheads several time and just get a mish-mash of colors  (no black) and most of the time no writing. When I try to print in black only, I get nothing.
    What can I do? It worked just fine prior to ink going out.

    Did you get a resolution to your problem?  The same has occured for me - only printing blues/yellows and greens.  Was working fine until I replace the yellow cartridge and then it stopped printing reds.

  • Before updating to 5.0, I could click on 'new tab' and my history of thumbnails would show up. After updating, when I click on the new tab symbol (+), a blank page appears. Is there a change I can make to allow the thumnail history to show?

    I have no more info than is in the question.

    Sounds like a feature of the Google Toolbar.
    The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems. <br />

    <Email Edited by Host>

    Hi Dallas,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may have changed your Apple ID (email address,) but your iPhone still shows the previous email address in the iCloud settings.
    If so, use these steps to update it:
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

  • Clearing recent history causes very long delay with message "a script has stopped responding"

    When I take option to "Clear Recent History" from tools dropdown, there is a very long delay EVERY TIME, followed by this message:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136
    This happens even when Javascript has been disabled. This problem first appeared just after installing Firefox version 4.0
    I can proceed to "Clear Recent History" only by again clicking that option after taking option to stop non responding script.

    I have resolved the problem (for now) by uninstalling Firefox 4.0 and reinstalling Firefox 3.6. When 4.1 becomes available I will try 4 again.

  • FireFox remembering last website state, even after restarting, clearing history, cookies,cache etc. No other does this (IE,Chrome,Opera...)

    On the website, after 3-4 login attempts and an error message appears. You cannot retry unless you exit out of the browser(s) completely.
    I closed all FireFox browsers, opened a new browser and cleared Recent History will all checked. Closed the browser and restarted the browser again. Going to the website, the error message page is displayed and not the login page.
    With IE (also Chrome and Opera), after closing all the browser window(s) and restart browser and then go the website, I get to the login page, not the error message page.
    It sounds like FireFox is keeping something around (even after clearing everything out) and the website is remembering you in some way.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' and click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
    -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • What happened to the recent history with recently closed tabs pulldown that was next to the back/forward buttons in version 5??

    I noticed that i cannot access my recent history or recently closed tabs via the pulldown menu next to the forward/back buttons in the version 5 firefox. How do i do this in this new version?

    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />
