Safari on Windows does not remember history

It is a terribly frustrating experience using Safari on a Windows machine. I'm running 5.05 on Windows 7 and Safari has been a terrible experience for me.
It just doesnt seem to want to remember the browser history or passwords on a page. Every time I start the browser, its like its starting all over again.
Terrible experience.

no it doesnt. thanks for replying b noir - i'm absolutely hating safari right now - i wish there was something for me to destroy, but there isnt!
I'm forced to use it for some testing work and its driving me absolutely nuts to be able to use it.. its insane!
I'm thinking its a severe permissions issue due to installation on Windows 7. I think its a 64 bit machine, but Safari is installed on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\"
I dont think its saving any permissions at all - nothing nothing at ALL!

  • Safari 5.1 does not 'remember me'

    On a certain website I use a lot, Safari 5.1  does not 'remember me' - i.e. I have to log in to the site every time I go there, whereas I was 'remembered' on previous Safari versions. This seems to be a Safari 5.1 issue; Firefox still remembers me on that website.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
    Now click the Edit button. Delete the url for the site you're having problems accessing, click Done.
    Now open Keychain Access  /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the keychain for the site you have problems logging into.
    You can use the search field top right corner of the KA window to locate keychains.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Login to the site you deleted the keychain for.
    Enter your user name and password.
    You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain, click Yes when prompted.
    If you still have problems go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details
    Delete the url for the site, click Done. Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try again.

  • Firefox does not remember history-why?

    Hi guys! My firefox does not remember any history at all. Of course the privacy settings say: " remember history". Everything else (bookmarks and such work fine. I have done a "reset firefox" twice; no change. There is an article from someone with similar problems, but vital chunks of info are missing, so I can not reproduce what exactly the problem was and how it was solved. Any suggestions anyone?? Cheers Stefan
    ( should add: windows 7, latest firefox version...)

    History can be removed or not recorded several ways;
    * 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
    * 2) Privacy settings (Type '''about:preferences#privacy'''<Enter><BR> in the address bar.)
    * 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
    * 4) Mal-ware.

  • My browser does not remember history no matter what privacy settings I use. What's wrong?

    Windows XP

    Hi!
    Have you checked this article? [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If so, can you be a little bit more specific? What does happen when you have "Remember history" activated? When is the information deleted, etc. Is it after closing Firefox? After restarting your computer? Is it your personal computer or is it a work computer? Are you the administrator of the computer? The more information you give us the easier will be for us to give yo a precise answer.
    Best,

  • Firefox does not remember history.

    When I use Firefox it doesn't remember any pages. I checked in options to make sure it was set to remember history, and also tried reseting it. When I open show all history entire list is empty. Bookmarks list is still fine, and it still remembers closed tabs, but nothing is stored in history.

    Try to delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • Safari 4.0 on Windows does not remember password when realm changes.

    The site I am using requires authentication. Unfortunately authentication only works the second time (using a different realm). In that case Safari seems not to remember the password (and use it in further requests) so every page I visit in that secure site will require authentication from anew.

    Yes only certain messages and also from different senders. I cannot see any relation between the messages

  • Safari Login Window does not open

    I take care of a website, Apache based, and one of our Mac users with two computers with Safari 1.3.2 (V312.6), G5 IMac, with OSX operating system, who just can not get the little popup login window for the password protected directory to membership area.
    We have tried resetting Safari to default settings, and we have it set to allow cookies. What are we missing so we can get the login window to show up for him?

    Have you perhaps, disabled/blocked pop-up windows under Safari in the menu bar?

  • Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows) does not remember ftp username and password

    I have seen this problem mentioned in other threads concerning Mac instalations of Dreamweaver, but this is a Windows installation. I recently installed DW CS5, and it refuses to remember the ftp username and password after I quit the program and restart it later. This was never a problem with CS3. It is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

    OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Print Preview in Safari for Windows does not display Flash object

    I have a web page with images, text and a flash movie in several divs. I can see all the objects on the page but when I print preview the flash object is not displayed. The same problem occurs in Firefox 3 but not in IE6/7 or Opera9.5
    Any clues/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Click Help -> Report Bugs to Apple.
    I'm hoping they fix it.

  • Windows Does Not Remember Screen Resolution after restart

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a strange problem with Windows 8.1 Pro
    My screen resolution resets to 800 x 600 everytime i restart my PC, and I will have to set my resolution again everytime I start my PC.
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Nelson

    Hi Nelson,
    Please check the display adapters on Device Manager.
    It may be caused by your graphics driver.
    I suggest you reinstall the latest graphics driver to check the result.

  • My Search Window is not remembering any names that I type in. How can I fix it so the search window will remember what I type in.

    My Search Window does not remember any names that I type in. What can I do to bring it back like it was?

    This just started happening less than a week ago. Before that, everything was fine. I do not know what happened to cause this. What is a "build-in about home page?" I really do not know about all this technical stuff. Is the location bar the same as my search window.....in the middle of the page.....that I use to type things in? I never type ANYTHING in the top of the screen bar that is located on the same line as the "back" and "forward" button. What do I do now?

  • Safari for Windows is NOT compatible with Unicode 3.1 CJK characters!

    This is an "old" problem since Safari for Windows was initially released. In the meantime, the problem is still not fixed in the latest version 4.0.3 (531.9.1).
    Not only Safari (for Windows) does not properly show homepages that contain Unicode 3.1 CJK characters, but it also fails to show Unicode 3.1 CJK characters (it shows "squares" instead) in the whole application, such as Search box and all dialog boxes. Will this be fixed in the next release?
    By the way, it is strange that Safari 4 for Mac is Unicode 3.1 compatible.

    To speak more precisely, the Safari for Windows doesn't support CJK characters of Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B.
    The following test illustrates the incompatibility of Safari for Windows:
    1. Sample text displayed in Firefox 3.0.2 on Fedora 9.

    2. Sample text displayed in Safari 3.x/4.x on Windows XP with "MingLiu Ext-B" (an Ext-B font provided by Microsoft) installed.

  • When I start ver 4 the first time 10 to 15 blank windows open and does not remember pin tabs?

    When I open version 4 the first time, 10 to 15 blank windows open up. it does not remember any pinned tabs or go to my home page.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    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 '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    Another possibility is that there is a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

  • Since upgrade to iOS4 Safari does not remember passwords

    Since I've updated my 3GS to iOS4 via ITunes, Mobile Safari keeps asking to save username and passwords, even if I've visited the site before and said "Yes" to save username and password, at the next visit, Safari doesn't remember and I have to enter the details again.
    I've already cleared Cache, History and Cookies, turned off and on the auto-fill option, but the problem persists.
    Anyone got an idea ?

    Apple seems to have completely missed browser user/password remember feature all over again. This had happened with iPhone 1.1.4 firmware as well. Hope they correct this issue with iOS 4.0.1 update. Apple discussion forum thread specifically mentions users with iPhone 3G and 3GS are facing this issue. Found this on http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2010/07/07/ios-4-0-bug-safari-does-not-remember-pa sswords/
    Last time a mod called Fix Safari Cookies via Cydia did the trick - Tired of having to enter your username and password everytime you visit your favourite site? With FixSafariCookie not anymore! This package / utility overwrites your cookies and changes the permissions that safari can actually write and save your cookies.
