Just updated to Firefox 7. Even though I have checked the appropriate boxes in the "Privacy" menu for clearing history and password when Firefox closes, all passwords and history are there next time I start Firefox.

I had this set up in previous versions of Firefox. After updating to 7, it no longer works. I went to "Tools" "Options" "Privacy" I checked "clear history when Firefox closes" I also went to settings and checked all the boxes. Then clicked OK. I closed Firefox, waited a few minutes, started it again, and all my history and passwords loaded on startup. Why?

I'm a little puzzled that your post shows Firefox 29.0.1 but you said you updated this week (Firefox 32.0 was released this week). ???
One of your settings is '''places.history.enabled''' = false, which could be a problem for saving history. I'm not sure how that could have gotten switched. Could you check here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Under "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" make sure you have the settings you want.
Note: I think I have read that if Firefox is set to clear history at shutdown, then Firefox might not save any history during your session.
Can you find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop? If the Reset feature ran, your old data would be in that folder and we could discuss how to restore them.

  • Firefox v. 8.0.1 does not offer to remember passwords on sites even though I have checked the option to 'remember passwords for sites' - I am not in private browsing mode. how can i fix this?

    google chrome DOES ask; mozilla firefox does not.
    It has some memorized passwords, but all are left over from previous versions of firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

    There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
    Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
    To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
    Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

    You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
    If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

  • Can someone tell me how to delete a number which is stored in my messages list even though i have deleted the text message itself?

    Hi.  Can anyone help me? I am trying to delete a phone number which appears in my Messages list even though i have deleted the text message content it came from.

    Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
    The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
    I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

    Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW. How can I correct the problem?

    What kind of TIFFs?  Are they multi-layered, for instance?  ACR will not open layered files.

    Hey people please help me with my problem.
    I purchased a VIP subscription for a week in starmakerstudios karaoke. I don't know how to stop auto renewal. Even though I have deleted the app, I'm still being charged $1.99 a week!
    Please help me out...

    Hi Gerald,
    Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance.

    Help! CC has been withdrawn by Adobe saying I have not paid even though they have taken the money from my account. Why?

    Thanks.  I do not think that the phone is stolen as I have been able to get it unlocked and surely the phone would be repoted stolen and blocked. What I do not ubderstand is that I thought icoud was just somewhere to back up your data instead of saving it to your computer if that is the case why is it stopping the actual hone from loading the previous owner rest it to factory settings before selling it but refused to get it unlocked. The phone would work with a Vodaphne sim as I understand it althought I did not try before i gave it to a shop to unlock. surely they would have knon before unlocking that there was a problem with icloud and that they woyld not be able to do it. The phone shop are insisting tgat I pay £40.00 for te unlck which they say is done or tey will not et me have the phone back does what they are saying seem right and is it reasonablefor them to expect me to ay for a dud phone??

    Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW - PS 6

    Sorry I'm taking to along, but I checked a few things using ACR 8.6
    Saved a png as an 8 bit tiff, then to 16 bit. Changed the background layer into a floating layer, all opened in ACR.
    It was when I added an adjustment layer, that it no longer opened in ACR.
    Now what can I recommend? If you have Lightroom, you can Import and work on your layered tiffs that way. I hope this is a viable alternative for you, because I think ACR does have a problem with layered tiffs and I don't really know of any workaround, but you are free to explore.

    I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

    On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

    You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • One of the users on my Mac book pro, running Mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on

    One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
    For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
    None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
    My changes to the dock have reverted.
    Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
    iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
    I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
    This is on a second admin user account.
    The main user account seems to be fine.
    This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    The same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • I was in full screen mode and now that I have exited, the main toolbar for Safari is gone.  So please don't say go to View.  Each time I click off of safari to the desktop, it shows me the Finder Toolbar.  I have opened and closed Safari many many times.

    No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
    With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
    further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.
