Privacy Tab is disabled

When going into Options>Privacy tab, nothing happens. All the other tabs work in this panel, but the Privacy tab is zilch. Either nothing displays at all, or from some tabs, the other tab still continues to display. I therefore can't see any options on the Privacy tab.

Cannot change setting in privacy from remember history to use custom settings for history. I can set in to change but on closing with the ok button thus closing the privacy tab, it then reverts back to remember history.

I have been by a web sit that the cookies are disabled in the browser. on looking at the help on firefox help the instuction as i understand was to change the setting under the privacy tab ref history fromthe default setting of rember hhistory to use custom settings for history. I change the setting click ok but it reverts back to rember history. I just cannot change the setting.This also happend in the prevous version.

To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
You need to make at least one change to make "Use Custom settings" stay selected.
If all history settings are the default then the History and Cookie setting revert to "Remember history" the next time you open Tools > Options > Privacy.
So it looks that your cookie setting are already correct.

Firefox 4 does not show the current browsing history, and I cannot acess my privacy tab in the options

My browsing history is incomplete, it only shows through August. I also cannot access the privacy tab in the options folder, nor can I click on the stop private browsing.

Maybe your Trend Micro took over the Privacy tab in Options?
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Spotlight gives no results, privacy tab gives me a list error, What The F?

Just did the most recent Apple updates, (excluding 10.5.2 because I'm using Pro Tools HD which doesn't support it yet) and spotlight just plan stopped working. Finder Search produces no results. Privacy tab doesn't work or allow me to drag drives in without producing a unknown 'list error'.
I used Cocktail and Mainmenu to delete all my cache files and manually reindex spotlight, repaired permissions, relaunched finder, trashed the spotlight V100 hidden plist and still NO help, nada.
Then I noticed Time Machine was ON. I don't believe I turned it ON, is it set to ON by default? I turned it off and Spotlight now works fine after reindexing my 6 drives.
What the frick is up with spotlight on Leopard? I saw so many people having problems I thought I should add to the group and let it be known many many people are hurting with search functions on Leopard.
So do I need to choose between Time Machine and Spotlight? They dont like eachother!

Help. I have tried deleting the hidden Spotlight folder per above suggestions, and now it acts as though Spotlight won't even function.
I have tried to fix THAT problem with the following (http://osxdaily.com/2007/03/22/how-to-completely-disable-spotlight/) and cannot get any of these to work. To be fair, I can't try the Terminal suggestion, as Terminal refuses to allow me to enter my admin password. Weird.
Anyway, two brand new machines, one a fresh-out-of-the-box install and Spotlight broken on both. Besides a reinstall, any ideas how to reinstate my (hidden) Spotlight folders and fix the 'Privacy List Error' I get every time I try to drag a volume to the Spotlight>Privacy tab.
Frustrating having a new machine that won't allow a basic Finder search.

My usb devices are formatted in FAT32 or EXFAT, There are bugs with these formats?
how can I fix this?
Can I disable spotlight for all usb devices including sd slot card?
Thanks a lot

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line. Only the text should be highlighted.
sudo mdutil -i off
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V, then press the space bar.
Now switch to the Finder and and select the volume in question. Drag into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.

Privacy Tab Options vanished

I'll take you on a tour of how today went, and maybe there's something related.
Seems to have started with Panic Attack total freeze then forced to restart.
I grabbed shot with camera of the black box that appears, 'You need to restart your computer'
I was at Toucharcade reviewing iPad game with several Youtube reviews, then poof, instant lock.
I wouldn't put it past the site inflicting the cause.
Restart, then performed Disc Utility permission repair & restart again.
Went to Safari Preferences, and made Privacy settings to basically kill all.
Went to log into here, Apple Support, Impossible to get here in Safari. Now Firefox.
Go to reset privacy settings, Privacy Tab is blank. Weird.
Explored settings in System Preferences, and noticed Firewall was disabled. Not sure why.
Would of been nice to know this warning on restart any time.
I don't recall actions this weird in 5 years. A major pain, can no longer access main sites used.
Searched for the issue, found same problem.
If this is something I have to do that follows, or something else, I'll give it a go.
The person below opted to reload system from disc, so we don't know what might have been found.
Thanks

Do not reset Safari.
Your problem is caused by a third-party system modification.
Reboot as usual (not in safe mode) if you haven't already done so.
Launch the Terminal application,
copy or drag --
do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Next, do the same thing with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Next, this command:
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Again, one line. Finally, one more:
ls -1 /Library/{InputManagers,StartupItems}
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.

Go to reset privacy settings, Privacy Tab is blank. Weird.
Try troubleshooting the Safari preference file (.plist)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. Try Safari > Preferences - Privacy
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

Cannot change numerous History settings in Privacy tab (is Norton 360 and/or Avast causing this problem?)

I have Norton 360 and Avast Internet Security 2014.
I AM able to change most Firefox settings.
I am NOT able to change numerous Privacy settings (mainly History and Use custom settings for history, including all subsettings). When I change certain Privacy/History settings, the browser tells me it must close and restart to disable this existing setting. When I open the Privacy tab after browser restart, I see that the change(s) I made did NOT take effect.
I have two enabled firewalls, managed by Norton and Avast, respectively (the Windows 7 OS firewall is disabled, probably because of the third-party management by Norton and Avast).
***What, specifically, is causing this problem (being unable to change some important Privacy/History settings), and what can I do to regain the ability to make any and all Privacy setting changes whenever I want to?
Thanks.

Speaking of avast!, you may want to disable the avast! Online Security extension. A variety of odd problems have been reported with it. You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.

Privacy tab in safari 5.1 preferences is empty.

This is a screen shot of what I see when I open the privacy tab in safari preferences. Any reasons for this? Help!!!

Just spent an hour at an Apple Store with 2 Genius' and was not able to resolve the issue. This issue exists on both my Macs. One is running Lion and the other Snow Leopard. We checked other systems in store and none of them had problems. I suspect that this problem came as a result of an OSX / Safari update at some point because I haven't always had this problem. Safari Preference Pane isn't something that I (and I suspect many) people get into very frequently, so there's probably others with this problem (they just don't know it yet).
I did find that if you're using Lion which will re-open where you left off once you quit, that the following "work around" seems to work consistently. Open the preference pane that's blank (i.e. Privacy or Extensions). Next, quit Safari without closing the Preference Pane. Relaunch Safari and the Preference Pane appears displaying correct content. The strange thing, at least on my Lion system, is that the Blank Preference Pane flips between Privacy and Extensions. But, I'm able to correct the Preference Pane I need by going through this procedure. Again, this does not work for Snow Leopard because it won't re-open where you left off.
I've tried reinstalling Safari and nothing changes. My (and the Genius Bar's) opinion is that a "Fresh Install" is all that will probably fix this. Not an option for me at this point, so I'll just get along for now.
Wishing all with this issue the Best and I hope someone eventually comes up with something other than a "Fresh Install Option".

Can't add any folder to the Spotlight Privacy tab

I cannot drag any folder to the spotlight privacy tab or use "+" to add a folder to the privacy tab. Is there any option I could have inadvertently set to have done this? I have tried this on another account on my powerbook and I get the same result.
Thanks

That is generally a problem if you have ever used any of the Terminal commands of mdutil to change something having to do with Spotlight. You could take a look at this article:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html
You could try using the Terminal to re-index drive and see if the Privacy function recovers, or try deleting the preferences for Spotlight if you had not done any Terminal commands before. The preference is here:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist"
Remove it and log out and back in or restart and see if the Privacy function starts working again.
