I cannot get firefox to delete all of my browsing history, specifically form and autocomplete information. Tried going through the steps multiple times.

I have tried to clear all of my data history in firefox because some very sensitive information from filling out college forms and whatnot has been saved and is being used in autocomplete. Because of a bad wireless company, our network has to be "unsecured" to work, and I do not want anyone getting a hold of extremely important personal information. I have gone into settings and tried clearing the cache, using private browsing, deleting all past history, etc... but firefox won't delete any of my history, even browsing. Please help! Thank you.

Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data.
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.

All of the font on my webpages is in italics. How can I get it back to normal? I tried going through the Troubleshooting steps, and opening it in Safe Mode; that did not fix the problem.

I went through an Adobe update and when my computer rebooted, the default font for everything was in italics. For example, when I go to Yahoo.com, the headings for all the news articles and tabs are in italics. I tried going through the Troubleshooting steps to no avail. I am frustrated because I followed the advice of checking the default font under Tools, then I opened the browser in Safe Mode, then I checked to make sure all the fonts were available. So how can I get my fonts back to normal? The italics gives me a headache.

The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
you will have to reinstall that corrupted font.

I cannot get Firefox to open so I can browse.

Firefox will no long open up to browse. It has been getting slower and slower and tonight it will not open at all. I tried to download it but it keeps telling me I have to close it first in order to install. Close what? It's not running. I tried to uninstall it, same msg. Please close before uninstalling. I am confused and upset over this. I tried several times, checked the plugins and only flash was not updated. I tried to update it but it keeps telling me I have to install Norton and I cannot do that as I have an operating MS Essentials which does not tolerate another anti virus program. How do I get my Firefox to work again?

Do you see any passwords in the Password Manager?
*Firefox > Preferences > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
In not then there may be a problem with the files that stores the passwords, see Troubleshooting in this Knowledge Base article:

I cannot get firefox to work with my internet browser firefox. unfortunatelt\y i have to use explorer if i want to see my email

i can't use firefox for getting my email. comcast is my internet provider and they can't fix the problem. i have to use explorer which works fine. i have a hp pavilion entertainment pc laptop that uses the XP operating system. i would prefer to use firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it's been over a year

What kind of problem do you have when you try to access your email? What do you see or not see that is different from what you expect?
You said that Comcast can't fix the problem. Have you contacted their support? What did they say was the problem?

Since I installed Mcafee Cox internet securityI cannot get firefox to open. When I try to remove it and redownload it windows says I need to close firefox

i have restarted computer and then I can uninstall firefox. when I reinstall it I can open it a few times but then it will not open. I have tried to turn off firewall and reinstall firefox and that did not help. I turn fiewall off and firefox will still not open

Hello fireguy7542, you mean the Mcafee Cox firewall (inside the suite), check also if you can make exception in antivirus, otherwise try to disable the suite to see if the firefox works.
see if the next links helps :

How can I add my aol e-mail to the firefox e-mail link,I've tried going through the suggested set routes but cannot find the appropiate AOL application on My PC

I am trying to add my AOL email address to my firefox email link option.I have tried to add it by following the advised procedure going to options,mailto But I cannot find the AOL application on my PC to add it from there.I have also tried the default windows7 programs route but I cannot find AOL on there to set it as a Default Thank You Alec

Based on some web searches and poking around, I think this URL should work to start a new message on AOL webmail. Can you test it?
http://webmail.aol.com/Mail/ComposeMessage.aspx?to=[email protected]
It may be that AOL will redirect you to a new address. If you check the address bar, can you copy/paste that URL into a reply? If it seems to contain personal information, you might want to replace that with ZZZZZ instead.

TS1398 I have tried everything of the above multiple times!!! previously the wi-fi was connecting perfectly in all locations. Now it is Unable to connect to the WI-FI and even if it does is for 2 sec. I need some further help please.

My wifi does not seem to work.
It always appears the "unable to join the network ....." error message, as in the past it worked perfectly fine.
I have tried all the "apple support" options. I have even restored my iphone fully.
Sadly there is no apple store near by.
Do you suggest anything else!?
Thanks !!

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. Restoring an iCloud backup requires first erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone since the backup that you want to keep, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account and choose your last backup to restore to.
Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

Installed, but cannot get Firefox to run. When I try, it crashes. Report contents give adapterdevice id - 0x0a3c and adaptervendorid - 0x10de

Have tried to uninstall and reinstall.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I cannot get firefox to download -- a box comes up about firefox being a binary file (?) and do I want to save it or cancel -- I was told to save it, which I did but, after saving, I tried to get it to download again and this same box came back up

Cannot get firefox 4.0 to download - saved binary code download - download still doesn't work - cannot use computer until this is resolved

For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

I cannot get firefox to open, could security setting interfer? I use AVG

On Wednesday 9/28 Comcast changed my modem and now I cannot get Firefox to open, when I click my mouse on the icon I get a brief hourglass and that quickly goes away and Firefox doesn't open.

The extension(s) that AVG installs can certainly be a problem, disable "AVG Safe" for a temporary solution, but it is better to reinstall AVG without the Link Scanner component, and as always be vigilant in rejecting additional crapware, please review all of the following but particularly information concerning "AVG Safe".

Sometimes I cannot get emails to delete

When deleteing email I will be going along then all of a sudden I cannot get emails to delete. I push the delete button and nothing happens. I also cannot get them to delete with the right click. I also tried safe mode and it happens in that mode 2. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium and the latest version of Thunderbird. I am using Viper anti virus. This is on a new computer.
Any ideas?
Jim

Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder

I had to change a password stored in Firefox, and now I cannot get Firefox to remember a new password.

As stated, I was required to change a password, yet the old password still appeared in the field, so I went into settings and deleted the old one, but now I cannot get Firefox to save the new password. And yes, I have wasted a lot of time attempting the "solutions" on the help sites, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes
