The add-on "Expire history by days" doesn't work for me. How to make firefox remember my history for longer?

Hi, With the recent updates firefox no longer keeps my browsing history for over 7 days. It makes things difficult for me because I could no longer keep track of some of the things I do. Is there any way to keep the browsing history longer?
Someone previously suggested the add-on "Expire history by days". It sometimes would keep the history for over a month and the next day all history older than a few days are completely gone! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Firefox keeps both bookmarks and history in the same database a file called ''places.sqlite''.
The addon may in fact restrict the options and prevent Firefox storing more History.
Try using the addon ''Places Maintenance'' and run the report option BEFORE and after any repair attempt. It may not help but at least produces a short potentially useful report in simple text format. You can paste the reports into your next reply.

Note both addons are by the same person, someone that has worked on Firefox and the author even added a warning

You apparently already have plans regarding freeing up space.
If you are short on free space on the hard disk History is the least of your concerns. Window XP is happiest with at least 20-25% free space. Defrag attempts will fail at about 12%. Do not use the hibernate option if low on disk space, because that will free up an amount equivalent to the RAM memory installed. Defrag if you can. This is not a Windows support forum, so I may only post short tips and suggestions of where else to try

No. It's a safety feature. Select the appropriate response and the next time you visit, you won't be prompted.

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

The add-on manager's menu button doesn't work for me.

Try pressing it in the Firefox menu, no dice. Going into Options, and finding 'manage add-ons' in there works, but opens a new window. I usually drag the only tab of this new window into the existing window to work, but the issue stands.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to make firefox remember the main web address of each website instead of it remembering URLs history?

Whenever you visit a website such as youtube.com and have searched for videos on the site, firefox remembers all these URLs the next time round you attempt to type youtube.com into the address bar. I find it frustrating because all I want to see is a neat list of websites beginning with the letter 'y' when I begin typing 'youtube' such as youtube.com or yahoo.com, etc. I don't want to see everything else otherwise it just looks messy - you end up having to click on one of the URLs to get to the site again or you end up retyping the main address out yourself (some main web addresses are long!).
Is there an option in firefox where you can have it only remember the main web address of the sites you have visited instead of all the URLs visited on those sites? I'm not talking about deleting the entire history, just for the address bar to remember a simple list of sites such as google.co.uk, yahoo.com, youtube.com, outlook.com, etc.
If something like this doesn't exist then I wish someone would give us the option to do that.

Pick a page you like for that site, then bookmark it. In the future,
just select the bookmark.

I have the very first iPod Nano, and it doesn't work anymore. Can I recycle it or trade it for a newer one?

I got this iPod a really long time ago. And when I pluged it into my computer it doesn't unlock and it doesn't let me turn it off or anything.
I've tried to do the iPod replacement but it says that my iPod isn't a part of it. But my friend has the same kind of iPod as mine and it went through.
Can I trade it in or recycle it for a newer one?

The Problem With Your Ipod Is That It Is Not Unlocked , To Unlock It You Have To Install Itunes And Plug It Into Your Computer , Then It Will Be Automatically unlocked .
No, You Cannot Recycle Your Ipod Because Ipod Nano 1G does Not Include in the recycling Program

Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Then try the video in the video app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If by some chance you cannot go to the home screen, force quit iTunes by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then press and hold down on the home button until iTunes closes. Then restart the iPad as described above.

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPhone via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPhone to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPhone, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps wit

Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

Everytime I click on a video it says I need to update to the newest version of flash, but my computer doesn't support the updated version. So I feel like I'm in a Catch-22.
Any suggestions?

Jay, you may very well be up a creek without a paddle.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Then Test Adobe Shockwave & Flash Players...

If it in fact says you do have 10.1.102.64, & some sites say you need higher, it is a catch 22.

Hi kemtnilion,
What did you get a trial of? Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services; did you get a free trial of Acrobat, perhaps? If so, you can save a PDF directly to Word from Acrobat, by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
