Since updating Firefox my laptop does not save my history. Where has all my history gone?

it will save history during the session you are in but when you reopen the browser there is no history saved. can't find anywhere to change it. my other browsers are saving changes, but we prefer to use Firefox but it is too inconvenient at this time.

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> '''REMOVE Checkmark from "Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click '''Exceptions...''' button and click "Remove All Sites" 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> ''Keep Until'': '''select They Expire'''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> '''When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Make sure NOT to use '''Clear Recent History''' feature

Check and tell if its working.

  • Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

    For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

    Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
    Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

  • My win 8.1 laptop does not do system restores, never has.

    Have had my HP 15 Touchsmart laptop for almost a year and it has never performed a system restore when requested. 
    After going through the motions, the message on the desktop says the action was not completed and to try it once again. 
    How much disk space should I assign it to use?  Meanwhile, it does not perform that much needed task.
    I do not really want to undertake doing a complete reinstallation, it has happened to me before with my previous computer-starts to work correctly then it stops.  With my present laptop, sys restore has never worked.
    Any suggestions or comments.

    Hi there @efkorman716 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you have never been able to get system restore to work on your notebook. I did some searching, and found a common cause of this is often some third party software, commonly antivirus software.
    This page has a troubleshooting section partway down.
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    Also there is this nice page that covers many possible fixes, give it a try and let me know if it helped.
    Fix: System Restore not working in Windows 8 / 7 - thewindowsclub.com  
    As to how much space to allocate, it depends on the hard drive size and operating system but typically up to 5% of a drive is not a bad number. See the following:

  • Firefox 4.0 does not SAVE my tabs on Exit : (

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my Windows 7 desktop. I had to close Firefox for an add-on to install and it wiped out ALL of my tabs I had open!! NOT Happy : (
    I have searched thru the options, Help menu (all it says it may be a problems with the setting but doesn't tell me how to fix it) and I looked thru the forum. I have not been able to find a way to set it so it will SAVE my TABS on EXIT.
    I am running 4.0 on my laptop and it always saves my tabs on exit.
    Please let me know what I need to do to fix this problem. As I already said...I am NOT Happy : (

  • Firefox 7.1 does not save the tab groups

    i have windows 10 and firefox 7.1

    '''azizy.aris'''.....I have done EXACTLY what you have said and perhaps it has helped others but it has NOT helped me. Could you perhaps think of anything else that may be causing this??? I was saving them for awhile but all of a sudden it stopped. Do you think it's because I have the Firefox v. 4 Optimized for Yahoo!? I don't remember if it worked prior to me updating to the version for Yahoo or not. Any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
    Thank you in advance for all your and anyone else's help.

  • I keep getting a pop-up to update Firefox, but it does not look authentic and I'm worried it is a virus.

    For the past week, I've gotten several pop-ups asking me to "Please update your browser". The thing is, I checked my Firefox properties and it says that my browser is up-to-date. According to my "About Firefox", I am running Version 26.0 and it is "up to date".
    I took a screenshot of the pop-up page, but there isn't a place here to upload it, so I'm going to try to use tinypic to show the screenshot... I apologize if it doesn't work.

    Has anyone experienced this too? Or does anyone know whether this is valid or a malware/virus? Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

    This seems to be a scheme to get people to download a third party installer. That latest-browser-update''.''net was just registered on January 5th and the owner has used a privacy service to hide their identity. Hmm... If you get this randomly, it could be generated by one of your add-ons.
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    You also could run some supplemental malware scans. See: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

    Dear all,
    Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
    The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
    After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
    After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
    Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
    pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
    html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
    jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
    doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
    png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
    xml table and xml export correctly
    txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
    Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
    What is missing in this installation?
    During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
    Any help available for this issue?

    The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
    There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
    So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
    The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
    Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
    Save as PNG is OK
    Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
    Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
    Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
    Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
    I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
    I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • JDev 11.2.1 Commit button does not save data

    I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2. I am having trouble saving updates to the database. I am trying to create an application that displays database records in a form, allows the user to modify data in the form and them saves that data to the database. I have successfully created the database, entity objects, view objects and application module. I created the form on the page by dragging the data control on to the page. I used the same method to create a table from the same data control. I included a submit button on the form. I dragged the create, delete and commit buttons onto the form. This application gets the data from the database, the user modifies it, select the submit button. This displays the change in the table. I can do the same with create and delete. However, I use the commit button to write the data to the database but it never happens. I have set up logging with –Djbo.debugoutput=console. I can see that the delete button {#bindings.Commit1.execute} is doing something but no change is made to the database.
    Thanks for your help, Steve

    I have had some success. I tested with the BC browser in my application and got the same results, no update. So I created a new application. I used the 'Create Business Components from Tables' option to create a set of Entity objects, Entity View objects, and Query View objects. The interesting thing I found was that when running the BC browser and trying to update the database using an Entity View object I had success. Was able to add and modify records and results saved in db. However, when I use the browser and try to do the same thing using a Query View object I get the behavior I've been seeing all along, it looks like it is working but not data saved to the database. In order to make the Query View object updatable in the browser I had to make all of its attributes updatable 'Always'. this made the view look updatable in the browser but no save. In my real application I did not have any Entity View objects. the Query View objects look the same so I didn't create any Entity View objects. So I want back to my real application, removed all Entity objects and Query View objects, recreated them with the 'Create Business Components from Tables' option. I created Entity View objects this time. When I drat a data control based on an Entity View onto my page I can make updates and the commit works.
    I'd like to understand the difference between the Entity View objects and the Query View objects. Once they have been created I have a hard time telling them apart. The Entity View object for the Employee looks very much like the Query View object for Employee. There are some flags set differently and the Entity View object 'Entity Objects' tab shows the Employee table selected. I can tweek the Query View to look like the Entity View but it still does not behave the same, the commit does not save data.
    Thanks for all the help, Steve

  • Noisy harddisk or fan, laptop does not boot

    I have a 2 1/2 years old 12inch PowerBook G4 which does not boot anylonger.
    It has a longer history: 1 1/2 years ago the fan or hardisk started making lots of (ugly!) noise and I could hardly work anylonger: the machine was very slow. I noticed that the available space on the hard disk went below 4GB which is apparently a soft limit (needed for swap space?). But the machine was also quite warm.
    I actually got it running again by cooling the laptop with some lead blocks which had been in the freezer for a while. (I still don't know why it worked!)
    1 1/2 years of smooth running made me believe the machine was fine. Just before X-mas the same happened again. First only some noise with little impact on the performance (I could still make a backup of my user accout) but then the noise became worse and the computer speed went to zero. The noise also changes when rotating the laptop (up-side-down etc.) Sometimes it becomes very bad and then it makes "click" and everything stops (but also the HD). Then one hears how the HD/fan start up again and shortly after the noise comes back.
    For a while I was able to boot almost fully but then it hang, now it hangs already a few seconds after switching on.
    I suspected some bad bearings but could not explain the previous recovery.
    Any idea?
    Thanks alot in advance!
    p.s.: I don't have frozwn lead bricks anylonger to repeat the same treatment as the year before
    p.s.s.: last time I did a hardware check and it told me the HD was not o.k. -- but when everything run again the test reported a working HD!
    Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to Apple discussions!
    Judging by your comments, the noises you report and Disk Utility saying your hard drive was bad, I would suspect it is almost fried. Now is the time to backup your stuff!
    Even though Disk Utility now says your drive is O.K., the fact that it has already reported a drive failing is cause for concern. I would head for Apple Repair after backing up.
    You have posted in the G4 tower forum. In the future please post in the appropriate Powerbook Forum.
    Cheers!

  • Firefox does not save toolbar I made

    Since FF upgraded me to Firefox 23 My tool bars are messed
    Every time I make a new toolbar Via "Customize" > "Add New Toolbar" after I exit it does not save.
    Yes I read over 10 different articles on it.
    1) I deleted the localstore.rdf and started from scratch. After 15 minutes of dragging all the icons to various toolbars I close out of Customize. I then restart Only to find my toolbar not saves and icon missing (placed back into the Customize Box)
    2) Only solution ALWAYS given is going to Safe Mode and resetting everything.
    That requires me to spend 5 hours backing all the settings and data I have saved in the various 189 items loaded.
    Why so many? If not that many I would have to spend 6 hour more all day on my computer doing things that many of these addons do for me. Time is Money.
    3) This is not the first time over the 8 years or so of using Firefox this has occured.
    4) Question why doen't save when you close out of "Customize" than when you exit? Plus what in Firefox is messed up that it is not saving right?

    Nope, I tried it again and added buttons to the New Tool bar I made and everything disappeared once I restarted Firefox up again. So they have not solved it. From FF 23 now on FF26 and it has not been fixed
