New Tab Contains History Even after clearing history and Privacy setting is set to "Never remember history"

I am using Firefox 14.0.1
I currently have "Never remember history" selected in the Privacy section underneath Tools->Options. I have even used the clear all current history option.
When I click the plus sign to open a new tab a history of the sites that I have visited is appearing. This is after clearing the history and closing all instances of firefox and opening it again.
I'm guessing that the "new tab" is using something other than history because when I type in a website it is not suggesting my recently viewed websites...as expected history was cleared.
I'd really like to know how to clear my entire history including the one that is used on the new tab section.

Did you drag a bookmark or history item to slots on the about:newtab page?
Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.
If you delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder then you need to reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to assure that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file gets initialized properly.<br />
Otherwise the about:home might not be working.

  • Can't see the new version of the website after clearing cache and history

    I am updating images and changing my location but FF still shows me old images. I have cleared the cache and history but nothing worked. For location thing, I switched my location from NY to HI and back to NY but my browser still shows content from HI not from HI. I was trying to find the solution but all the solutions I saw didn't worked at all. Does anyone help me with this? Our website is on Adobe CQ.
    Thanks.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Previous image flashes on the screen occasionally when opening safari. Even after clearing history and cache.

    Occasionally an image from a previous website appears briefly when opening safari. I'm afraid it might do it with a site that has private information and other individuals use this ipad. Is this a problem fixed in the updates to the iOS or something different entirely.  The image flashes sometimes even after clearing history and cache.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 87 tabs are restored after each restart even after clearing cache

    firefox onVISTA Restores 87 tabs even after clearing cache: This takes a long time to restart

    Clearing the cache might not help, try the following:-
    1) Cross check is 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' checked (see attached file 'Open tabs from last time'). Also refer to this website wrt 'session restore'
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Session-Restore
    2) try clearing up the entire history and then see if the same problem occurs (Tools -> Clear Recent History)

  • Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history - Only a third or so listed.

    Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history -> Only a third or so listed.
    Usually, when I reinstall Windows, I manually backup my Firefox bookmarks and open tabs, but because Sync has worked perfectly for me in the past, I didn't do it this time. I backed up all my other files and settings and whatnot from the rest of my system, then in Firefox I hit the Sync button (put in on the GUI so I see if it's syncing or done) for the last time, waited until the green rotating dot was gone, closed Firefox, shut down the system, formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and Firefox. After setting up Sync I waited a while to make sure everything is on my system.
    Then I wanted to have all the tabs and windows open as I had on the old system, so I went to the history and "tabs on other devices". I could already see from the small size of the list, that tabs were missing. I went through all of them, opened them and sorted them into windows.
    -> Maybe about two thirds of the tabs I had open on my old system are gone!
    Not just new tabs that might not have been synced (although the button showed sync was complete), but also old tabs (from weeks ago) that must have been synced before. Actually maybe especially or even only the old ones are lost. And the lost tabs are not just from one of the open windows, but from several.
    What can I do to recover my lost tabs?
    They contain important websites that I didn't bookmark yet, articles that I wanted to read, windows with dozens of tabs on a topic that I did some research for and stuff like that.
    What does the green circle mean? Does it indicate that the sync is complete (to the Firefox servers) or just that the changes have been saved locally and set up for some next scheduled sync with the Firefox servers?
    Further info:
    I always run the newest stable release of Firefox (v19 on both systems). Old system was Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation, new system is Windows 8 Pro. My used Sync quota is about 10 MB. I had 4 Firefox windows open with different amount of tabs in each of them, from 10 to maybe 80 with an overall amount of 150-200. Most of them weren't loaded. Firefox start is set to "load last session" and tabs are set to "load when selected". Memory usage 500 MB - 1 GB.

    I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

  • If the setting is "never remember history", and user clear the caches/cookies and logs on a website will the previous setting of the user on the web app persis

    ON the firefox, the setting is set to "Never remember history" .
    I have a web site which sets the default value on the record per page dropdown list to 100 for every tab.
    When I change the value to 5 and then logout. clear the caches/cookies . and then reload the page and then login to the website the value is showing as 5? why is it so? since the default value of the dropdown on fress login should be displayed as 100. I am facing this issue in Firefox 20.0.1 and on Internet explorer its working fine, the default value of the drop down is showing up as "100" . Let me know what behavior is expected on firefox on the above mentioned issue. This relates to firefox browser only.

    Are you sure the setting is stored in an HTTP cookie (regular browser cookie), and not on the server or in some other kind of local storage (e.g., Flash LSO)?

    A message advising a new Itunes terms and conditions is pop up even after my agree and acceptance... Is there a problem in Itunes? same problem with deferent devices
    Just Can't download, buy or even update apps...

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

  • TabPlus, new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses

    I have used TabPlus (now called Tab Mix Plus) for years; I usually have quite a few tabs open; everything has worked perfectly until FF updated me to FF8, beta. Today, I tried to download & install version 8, newer than the Beta, but that did not help.
    Tab Plus' new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses; the cursor line to type in the next letter or word remains, blinking. I cannot open anything in any new tab that I have added by pressing down with the right mouse button and clicking on "New Tab (after this tab)."
    As this problem did not exist in any version prior to 8, perhaps the developer has to do some updating. If not Firefox needs to fix some bug.
    I have been with Mozilla FF since its beginning; it has been by favorite browser, but now, out of frustration, I have been using Chrome.
    If you can solve this problem for me, I shall be happy to return FF to being my Default Browser.
    All the best,

    Is there a way to control the webpage that new tabs start at?

  • I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

    I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
    I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
    This has been going on for a week!
    I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Can't open itunes,even after un-installing and then re-installing!

    I keep getting the following error message when trying to open itunes on my pc.
    'The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.'
    This error message appeared even after un-installing and re-installing itunes.
    I conducted a search for the 'my music' folder,and it came up with nothing.
    Please help!

    If you truly don't have a folder named C/......./My Music, there are bigger problems with that PC.
    That folder is a default windows XP folder and should be there.
    The file extensions setting is easy to change. Win Explorer > Tools > Folder options
    http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html
    If your music folder really doesn't exist, see if you can do the shift-start and CREATE a new library. It will be blank, but at least that will tell us if itunes can even start. It will NOT run without an ITL library file.

  • Data lock even after commit work and wait

    Hi Experts,
    Data is still locked even after commit work and wait step has run, which made me very confusing.
    The following are the details:
    These steps are in a FOP.
    Step1: Change Move-in Date of a move-in document in background after get the new move-date from user.
    Step2: Run BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT and pass the wait parameter.
    Step3: Bring move-in document transaction to the user for other information changes.
               After the user confirms the changes and presses SAVE button, error message shows that the move-in document is still locked. But no other transaction is opened for the specified move-doc changing.
    Does any1 have any idea on this? How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance and points will be rewarded.
    Vincent

    Hi,
    Normally every BAPI will work on Update task so that the data will be updated once the commit work is done. For the commit work, we will normally call the bapi function module - BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT. It should work.
    In your case, just try the below option:
    Please call the bapi - BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST & BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT in a seperate function module and call this function module in your program (just pass the import / export / table parameters accordingly).
    For the information, I had once a similar type of issue and it got solved once I did like the above.
    Regards,
    Selva K.

  • I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs.  Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared."  I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.

    I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs.  Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared."  I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.  How can I retrieve this capability?  My audiobooks are from Audible.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
