In the Options | Privacy | History setting, I have "Never Remember History" selected. If I change this and hit OK, then re-enter the option, my new settings are reset to "Never Remember History". Why won't it save my changes?

I am running on a clean install of Win7 64. FF Version 3.6.10.

Quote: ''If I change this and hit OK''
What do you change?
If you select "Never Remember History" then you enter Private Browsing mode:<br />
Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
To see all History settings, choose: Use custom settings for history
If all other history and cookie settings are the default then "Never Remember History" stays selected, otherwise "Use custom settings for history" is selected.

Trying to clear autofill on the fox version 29.0.1 ... I don't see Options-- Privacy -- History ..under TOOLS

I can't find this: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history" .
I'm having a problem where http://... is translated to https://... only on firefox. I've not been to this particular developer url before today so I can't say when this started. I'm not having issues with other urls, or on other browsers. My developer suggested I try Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history" but I don't see this path under 'TOOLS' or in 29.0.1 under the new menu.
what am I missing?

That checkbox actually is inside the Options dialog itself.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
Click Privacy at the top to open the Privacy panel
Then if your setting is something other than "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" go ahead and select custom so you can access the individual features.
But... that might not be related to your problem. There are two possible issues that come to mind:
(1) Address bar autofill
If you start typing a site, Firefox will suggest a URL in the address bar and may substitute HTTPS for HTTP. If you edit carefully, you can avoid this.
You also can turn off the feature of filling in a suggestion in the address bar itself if this is a regular annoyance. (More on that if you're interested.)
(2) Website sent a strict transport security (STS) header
Websites can specify that only HTTPS should be used and Firefox will honor this. Sometimes users have discovered that only one application on a server cares about this, but Firefox stores it as a global setting for the site.
This can be cleared by using the somewhat drastic "Forget about this site" feature. However, it might come right back.
You can access "Forget about this site" in any of the following places:
* Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h), right-click menu for a history entry
* History sidebar (Ctrl+h), right-click menu for a history entry
* about:permissions page
Because this feature scans your entire history, bookmarks, cookies, site-specific permissions, etc., do not be alarmed if Firefox locks up for a minute while clearing all traces of the site.

Are there any settings in the options (or anywhere else) that I can use to set up an auto confirm and resend without having to manually click the 'resend' butto

There is a certain website I use that I refresh frequently. Every time I do I get a pop up message labeled ‘Confirm’ with a question mark in it that says;
“To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."
It only seems to be a problem with this one particular site. Are there any settings in the options (or anywhere else) that I can use to set up an auto confirm and resend without having to manually click the ‘resend’ button in the pop up window?

Hi cor-el, Thanks for responding;
I am accustomed to seeing this type of pop up on occasion and understand why they are necessary to prevent duplicating orders, payments, etc. I am not using a back button, I wanted to use an auto-refresh app to search for reservation openings on a certain web site and can not because this pop up requires me to manually push a button every time the page refreshes. I am resending the same information every time (a date range) via the POST form, so, was hoping there was a way to either disable, override, or set up and auto response so I can use the auto-refresh app. Your description of how to avoid the pop up didn't entirely make sense to me, but If I have to do a bunch of manual steps in between each refresh attempt it doesn't matter because I'm no better off.

My fiance logged onto my iphone with his apple ID and now I can't switch it back to my username. How can I change it back to mine? ( but when I go to setting,icloud my un/pw are there)

My fiance logged into my iphone with his apple ID and now I can't switch it back to my username. When I go to buy an app his username is in an editable format to beable to change it back to mine. How can I change it back to mine? (when I go to setting,icloud my un/pw are there) Can someone please help? Thanks!

Had you looked in the User Guide, you would have found this: Settings>Store. Tap on AppleID to change.

In FF28 the "Options - Privacy - History - Clear your recent history " does not work.

Never works to clear history. I can remove individual cookies.
Here's my settings:
Options
- General - Show my windows and tabs from last time.
- Tabs - top 4 checked.
- Content - Block pop-up windows checked
- Privacy - Tracking - first box selected; History - FF will remember history.
- Security - Top three checked.
- Advanced - Network - Cached web content - Override cache management checked. Limit to 350mb.

HT1329 My large iTunes library is on an external hard drive. Can I set up iTunes on my new Macbook Pro and copy the library to it or are there any pitfalls?

I have my large iTunes library on an external hard drive. Can I set up ITunes on my new Macbook Pro and transfer/copy this library to the internal hard drive or are there any problems I should be aware of?

ITs an old Iomega 100gb external HD that has about 90gb of music on it. The Macbook has a 500gb HD. I would like to put the iTunes library on the internal HD so I have room to expand.

You can copy it to the internal hard drive as long as it fits on it. How big is your library, and how big is your internal HD?
The only thing you do not want to do is over-stuff the internal hard drive. The OS needs some space to operate correctly, so if your iTunes library uses up more than say 80 to 85% of the internal HD's available space it may not be a good idea to transfer it over.
With that said, the internal HD will provide slightly faster access to the library than the external would, but other than that, you can point iTunes to the external drive just fine.

I have deleted the download log (history file) by mistake. Are there any method torestore the lost log file?

I have deleted the history file, a log in the Download Manager window by mistake, hitting the delete button which was hiding from other windows. I want to restore the download history file, if possible. Are there any way to recover the lost history log? Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.

You should be able to:
Backup the device
Transfer any purchases from the device that were not already downloaded into your new library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I'm using Firefox 5. Previous versions had a 'Remember visited pages for at least x days' under Tools--Options--Privacy--History. Where is this feature, or its equivalent, in Firefox 5?

I have desktops and laptops, XP on some, Vista on others. Firefox 5 on all of them.

The prefs browser.history_expire_days and browser.history_expire_days_min are removed in Firefox 4+ versions and replaced with a single places.history.enabled pref to remember history or disable the history.
There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.<br />
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.
You can see the current value via the pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.

Can I set up a form so that there is text in the fields when the user opens the file?

My client is interested in supplying schedules of activities in a PDF, and would like it so that a person can use what's in the document, or replace their own information in place of what's supplied.
I've set up forms for filling in blanks, but I've not seen if some text can be left in the fields to start with. For example, leaving a "your name" text line in a field where the user clicks on that phrase and it disappears (like you see in a number of forms on web pages).
Is this possible with Acrobat? If not, we'll probably have to go to a Word based solution, but I'd get better design if I do it in InDesign and add this functionality to a PDF.

George,
Thanks for keeping track of the discussion. I appreciate that you've taken the time to help me. My clients love the fact they can create these curriculum schedules with editable blocks that will allow the original info to return if the block is emptied. Now they'd like book titles italicized.
I downloaded the Javascript reference PDF and found the "richValue" information, but I'm not grasping the concept of how to add it to my page. I'm not Javascript-literate, so I'm more inclined to add HTML tags or something like
and to make something italic.
Here is the example they gave:
Example
Turn all bold text into red underlined text.
// Custom format event for a rich text field.
var spans = event.richValue;
for ( var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++ )
if( spans[i].fontWeight >= 700 )
spans[i].textColor = color.red;
spans[i].fontWeight = 400; // change to default weight
spans[i].underline = true;
event.richValue = spans;
I think I understand the 400 and 700 numbers as font weights, and that "underline" could be replaced with "italic". So I'm trying to figure out what I would need to write in order to make specific words italic in a block of text in the example you provided:
// If field is blank, display this text
if (!event.value) event.value = "Your name here";
Can a span be ID'd by placing a sort of tag around the words? Like... (pardon my fake Javascript)
// If field is blank, display this text
if (words.are) 'i' then italics = true
if (!event.richValue) event.richValue = "Your 'i'name'i' here";
(You're probably laughing at my attempt here, but I hope my point is made :-) ).

Hello trying to get help with the option on auto lock (never is not on option on 4s or new I pad 2? Both are up to date with the latest 6.1.2

Just trying to get help in auto lock it is not an options for (never) on 4s or new i pad 2 both are a mirror of each other it seems I have had problems with this phone from day 1 all up dates have been installed. Calling the support line is good if you get someone that is advance and that is not worried about there call time which I may have to do however I do know that this site is great help any help will be appreciated. This is my husband phone and I pad we purchased both phones @ the same time I have his older I pad he was given a new one for work which is the latest HELP please thanks. No problems with my phone or pad.

I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

Are there anyone teaching me the exact way to set the envionment variables?

yes,i'm a new

but how can i go on,i want to know the detail.For
example ,how to set the "path"and the "classpath"?Maybe you should post your IP and someone will be nice enough to remote desktop and set some variables for you. Write you some code also.
Do you know what PATH and CLASSPATH mean? I think that most people who are new don't understand what they are and simply know they have to set them. Knowing what they are makes it much easy to understand how and what to set them. You already know where to set them as pointed out by Sabre, do you know what to set? If not check here

Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

I don't seem to be able to activate the Never Remember History in Privacy. It is set to Use Custom Settings, I change it to Never Remember History but whenever I open up options, it has reverted to Never remember history. How can I change it? Thank you

At the moment my privacy settings are Use Custom Settings in Private Browsing mode with no third party cookies. Recently however when I log out of hotmail the msn homepage comes up. So I decided to change to never remember history settings. However, whenever I change it, it always reverts back to Use Custom Settings. Why and how can I change it?
Thank you

Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] "Always use private browsing mode"

Firefox's option bar for saving username and passwords will not show, I have it set to remember passwords for sites. Can sites be added manually?

I was using Norton to remember my user names and passwords, however I do not use Norton any longer. Firefox does not give me the option of saving passwords even though I have it set to remember them.
There are no sites in the exceptions list. How can I reset Firefox so the option bar shows?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
