New tab page keeps history windows, even though i delete the history on each close, how do i prevent this

Firefox is acting as if it is keeping up history from months ago in the new tab section even though I clear history on every close.

Use private browsing, this option forget all your history, first clear your recent history then make the change:
*[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history Clear recent history]
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info Private Browsing]
Go to '''Tools''' >> '''Options''' >> '''Privacy''' change the option '''Firefox will:''' to '''Never remember history'''

  • On my iPhone 4 when trying to listen to a podcast it asks if I want to use cellular data even though it shows the podcast as downloaded.  How do I fix this?

    On my iPhone 4 when I want to listen to a podcast that appears to be downloaded the phone asks if I woul dlike to temporarily turn on Cellular Data in order to play back the streaming episode. 
    What do I do to get rid of this message?
    thanks,

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.  After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.  Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

  • Apple automatically charged me for an iCloud upgrade on a device I do not own anymore or know of the current owner. Even though I deleted the device from my account I was still charged for a device I do not have anymore

    Apple automatically charged me for an iCloud upgrade on a device I do not own anymore or know of the current owner. Even though I deleted the device from my account I was still charged for a device I do not have anymore. It's very difficult to get to talk to anyone from support. How can I be refunded?

    Yes, assuming they are currently on the computer.
    If the iPhone has been used as designed, contacts are either in a supported application on the computer or are synced to a cloud service.
    Pictures would be copied to the comptuer regularly and then those desired to be on the device would be synced back.

    giadad,
    It sounds as this issue:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

    How do I stop emails? Flooded even though I ticked the box for no emails and spoke to apple today,

    I am having the exact same problem, I replied to a thread about a hacked itunes account.

I've changed my preferences, and yet the emails are still coming!!! How do I fix this!!! GRRRR!

  • When I share photos with Facebook, multiple photos are posted even though I only check off a few.  How can I stop this?

    When I share photos to Facebook, multiple photos that I didn't choose are posted.  How can I prevent this?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Whenever i open a new tab, a website opens up, even though i have set a blank page as the opening page. How do i stop this?

    When i open a new tab it automatically goes to "http://www.bigseekpro.com/search/dns/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}?q=bigseekpro.com/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}?s_src=newta"
    This started after i had installed a software recently. I have uninstalled that software now. I even set the opening page as 'Blank'. Also hit the 'restore to default' button.
    But the problem still persists.
    (it doesnt happen when i open firefox, happens only when i open a new tab, when firefox is already open)
    How can i change it back to normal? I need only a blank page to open up.

    I have the same problem but I couldn't fix it with the way you mentioned.I have uninstalled the software which caused the problem even then i couldn't fix it.

  • When I open the new tab in firefox , muliple window automatically opened with. also the page did not contain all feature of the site , some panels not displayed

    Problem No. 1 //// when I google the word (boy) as example >>>>> then select image >>>>> right click on any image and choose (open in an new tab) >>>>>> new tab opened but the image not appear, instead a black window appear .
    Problem No. 2 //// in any windows >>> if I choose the link >>> the link did not open until the (new window opened and my antivirus warm me that there is a dangerous thread must remove or blocked)

    If your security software is blocking images then you need to check the settings there or contact its website for support.
    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    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 checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> 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.

  • Hi. Whenever I open a new tab, Firefox jumps to it even though I've unticked that in the Options menu. Any ideas?

  • JSP pages are not refreshed even though I change the code!

              Hi,
              Just wanted to ask that even though I make changes in some of my
              JSP files, the changes (e.g. hyperlink properties) are not recalled by the browser. This is happening even though I open a new browser and re-start the Weblogic server. I had same problem with Weblogic5.1. However, this does not happen always: sometimes, when there is a change in the file, Weblogic recompiles it and the changes are implemented. Thanks for your help!
              

    1) Check the date/time of the .jsp compared to the .class generated for it.
              You could have a mismatch between the clocks on multiple machines.
              2) Delete the temp deployments directory to force WebLogic to rebuild
              those.
              Peace,

  • Firefox 9.0 keeps downloading automatically, even though I unchecked the automatic update box. I don't want 9.0. How do I stop this?

    I cannot use FF 9.0 on my work computer--it cannot connect to any site. FF 8.0 works great, and I want to keep it. But no matter how many times I uninstall 9.0 and re-install 8.0--UNchecking the box for automatic updated--9.0 keeps re-installing automatically after a day or two. How do I stop this?

    Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
    At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
