Is it possible to add a shortcut to one or two very select websites to the navigational toolbar for convenient, one-click entry (i.e., which toolbar currently has buttons for viewing bookmarks and browsing history)?
I would just like to be able to click once to get to one or two very important websites, just as I can now click once to show my viewing history (or scrapbook) in the sidebar.
That's what the bookmarks toolbar is for.
But putting single bookmarks there can fill it up quickly. Rather than a keyboard shortcut you can create a '''keyword shortcut''' for the bookmark, and that bookmark can be anywhere and out of sight. I keep all (most) of my keyword bookmarks in one folder on my bookmarks toolbar with the name beginning with the keyword. Here is an example, next door neighbor liked it for their netbook used at TV
'''Name:''' tv: TV Listings - Find Local TV Shows and Movie Schedules - Listings Grid | TVGuide.com
'''Location:''' http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/

I am using private windows to browse since someone seems to know what sites I've visited. I've done my best wrt blocking cookies and deleting history on exit, but some data in the "Library" exists.
Apparently my isp provider and employer can see my browsing history of a private browsing window.
I am currently self-employed but I volunteered for an organisation until October 2013. One of their members I worked closely with was stalking my email and browsing history without my knowledge.
Is it possible for this slimy bleep to have weasled their way into monitoring my web activity by claiming to be an employer?
Can I use a private browsing window safely?
I have a business to run, so I need my information, email, web activity to be kept confidential.
Any helpful advice will be gratefully received.Your question is a bit confusing, and it seems that you don't quite understand who and what can view your internet activity:
* Private browsing mode simply leaves no record of the sites you visit in your browser. There are so many other parts of the chain that can keep records. Example: Your computer could have tracking software (installed intentionally or maliciously), many routers have web logging, your Internet Service Provider can view the sites you visit, your employer if you are at work, the government has extensive tracking programs as well. Private browsing won't defeat these tracking techniques. It basically only prevents people who have physical access to your computer from looking in your history and seeing the sites you visited in PB mode.
* Your employer can't just request to see the sites you visit when you are at home. The only reason your employer could see the sites you visit is it you take your computer to work and use your work network to access the internet (and the employer has enabled logging on their network hardware) or you have a work laptop and take it home and it has logging software installed on it. Many employers have policies against using work equipment for personal. But there is no way that your employer can call your home ISP and ask to view your internet history.
* Your ISP keeps a record of the sites you access, but won't release that without a court order (or to the NSA....) so unless you have a court order or a snoopy ISP employee who has an axe to grind and is viewing your internet logs illegally you don't really have to worry about that.
* It's possible you have malware on your computer that is tracking your internet history. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] -
I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up. Does anyone have the same issue and how do I fix it?

hello adzuki45, you already appear to run the latest version of firefox, so this shouldn't be a cause for concern, maybe your desktop shortcut is just misnamed).

How many times can I attempt the passcode before I can't enter it any longer...it has been over 3 hours and it will not let me re-enter it? My daughter forgot the new code she put in....
What dowes the screen say? If it just say disable and gives not time to retry then you have to restore the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I have an original Ipad, I tired to update it, but during the update it gave me an error message (1602) an now it just has a picture of itunes and a ubs cord? Please help!!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
RESTORING: At the moment I am downloading a movie on the itunes store my 8GB ipod touch (not my computer) (which I have already paid for) and I need to restore my ipod. Will restoring it stop/delete my downloading movie? what else does it delete?
Try DFU mode and then restore

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is. -
This has been a problem ever since updating from Firefox 8 to FF 10. I noticed that there was about a month missing from my history after that update. Checking my settings in 'about:config', there was no change in 'browser.history_expire_days_min' or 'browser.history_expire_days.mirror'. The value has been set at '720' ever since installing FF 3.6 over three years ago.
Admittedly, I don't install new updates the moment they become available... However, every time that I've installed an update, more and more of my history simply vanishes. Not a few days or weeks, mind you. but 3, 6, and even 9 months of history GONE!
I just don't understand why this option was eliminated from Privacy Preferences, forcing users to tinker with the settings in 'about:config' instead. Since users are given a warning before going on to the settings page, why would any programmer think this is a good alternative to the Preferences pane???
Now I'm down to history for February and March of this year... You can bet that I'm not going to be updating to any new releases for a very long time, if ever.
It seems that 'software bloat' isn't a 'Microsoft-only' disease...
New 'features' + 'improved' perfomance = New demands for disk space + improved glitches...
Frankly, I'm getting sick of this...Not sure if it is relevant but the structure of the places.sqlite database changed recently, and jumping all the way from fx3.6 to fx18 or 19 could conceivably have been a factor. It is best to keep Firefox up-to-date.
Glad at least that you keep backups.
History backups are slightly problematic, because if the places.sqlite database is backed up and restored to an old copy the bookmarks then regress. As you will be aware already, Firefox itself makes no History backups, and has no facility to restore History only. -
when my daughter logs in to safari on her macbook, my favorites bar and my internet history from my macbook show up - how can i stop this ?
Eddy is right, if you still want iCloud on her laptop under your name (for instance so you can still 'find her mac' from YOUR account or you use 'notes' among your family), then go into 'system preferences' then 'icloud' on HER machine and deselect Safari.
Note, though, that your daughter could still re-enable Safari sync later and see your history.
If you really want to keep browsing history 'clean' but have a unified iCloud account, I would disable it on her machine but also surf 'privately' on my device to make sure that my browsing history isn't avaiable to others. -
Swiftweasel cannot remember bookmarks or browsing history
I installed Swiftweasel from AUR. It works, but when I add bookmarks to the bookmark border (under the address panel) and close Swiftweasel, it can't remember those bookmarks (bookmarks border is blank) and in addition, it cannot remember browsing history. However, preferences/settings and addons are fine and doesn't change or remove after closing Swiftweasel. Firefox (Shiretoko) works fine.
So, what could be the problem? The same problem occurs also in this. No difference.
And yes, I have Intel64 processor and 64bit Arch, so Swiftweasel version should be right.

Does the problem occur with Firefox or Swiftfox?
I tried to delete profile: no difference (but addons and settings were reseted/removed). And as I said, Firefox works fine, but I haven't tested Swiftfox. Should I? -
I recovered the hard drive from my old computer and am in the process of transferring my old files from it, but I am unsure where to find the old bookmark files. It would be wonderful if you could also help me recover the history -- I was in the habit of keeping a lot of tabs open and simply restoring them whenever I restarted my computer, so a lot of data was lost when my computer crashed.
Hi,
If the backup files are intact, then you would be able to copy the required files from the backup after installing Firefox and running it at least once in the new PC.

[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]
You have to copy and overwrite the needed files from the old profile folder into the same folder structure in the new profile. Some of the important files could be '''places.sqlite''' which holds the bookmarks and history, '''cert8.db''' which stores personal and additional certificates, '''key3.db''' + '''signons.sqlite''' which stores the saved websites usernames/passwords etc. To open the new profile folder, in Firefox, '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''' and exit Firefox.

My bookmarks and my history don't save - I have a Mac and can't find the solution for Mac
The same problem I've seen in other forums, but the solution is always for PC and not Mac. My bookmarks don't save (or when I try to save a new one in the toolbar, everything that comes after it disappears) and history just doesn't work.
I am exceptionally computer illiterate. I really need some thorough step-by-step instructions on how to fix this.This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
