When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

Am I the only one that has safari restart every few minutes when using private browsing?

I have no idea why, but when I use private browsing on safari, it seems to have a mind of it's own once and a while. Randomly, it decides to quit without the "quit unexpectidly" part normally found in this issue, and when I go back onto safari, all of the tabs I had open are no longer there.

Nope, that's all I use is Private browsing on it and it's never behaved this way.

Why when using private browsing does Safari still remember websites visited?

Even when private browsing is selected on my MacBook and iPad2, websites visited are remembered and displayed in history. Why is this?

Hi Graham,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Is it possible that you have some Safari windows open as private browsing, and others not? See the overview of private browsing below (see the note I've highlighted in bold):
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Use Private Browsing windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19216
Use Private Browsing windows in Safari
When you use Private Browsing windows, Safari doesn’t save your browsing history, and it asks websites you visit not to track you.
Use Private Browsing:
Choose File > New Private Window, or switch to a Safari window that’s already using Private Browsing. A window that’s using Private Browsing has a dark address and search field with white text.
When you use a Private Browsing window:
Each tab in the window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t track your browsing in other tabs.
Safari doesn’t remember the webpages you visit or your AutoFill information.
Safari doesn’t store your open webpages in iCloud, so they aren’t shown when you view all your open tabs from other devices.
Your recent searches aren’t included in the results list when you use the address and search field.
Items you download aren’t included in the downloads list. (The items do remain on your computer.
Safari doesn’t remember changes to your cookies or other website data. Safari also asks websites and others who provide those sites with content (including advertisers) not to keep track of your browsing, although it is up to the websites to honor this request.
Plug-ins that support Private Browsing stop storing cookies and other tracking information.
Websites can’t modify information stored on your device, so services normally available at such sites may work differently until you turn off Private Browsing.
Note: None of the above applies in other Safari windows you may have open that don’t use Private Browsing.
Stop using Private Browsing:
Close the Private Browsing window, switch to a different Safari window that isn’t using Private Browsing, or choose File > New Window to open a window that doesn’t use Private Browsing. To further enhance privacy:
Delete any items you downloaded while using Private Browsing windows.
Close any other Private Browsing windows that are still open, to prevent others from using the Back and Forward buttons to see pages you visited in them.
Besides using Private Browsing windows, you can manage cookies and data stored by all websites and have Safari ask all websites not to track you.
If you forget to use a Private Browsing window, you can clear your browsing history.

Option to use private browsing is missing in the dropdown list

The option to use private browsing is missing in the dropdown listo I think this happened after I down loaded an app that was supposed to help me shutdown private browsing since I didnt know how to do it. I dont remember which app it was. But either way its gone now..

Hi,
Unfortunately Firefox doesn't have an option to open a private tab in the current regular window.
You have to open a new private window for private browsing.

When I use private browsing I am taken to the Mystart page in Incredimail which I don't want as I would prefer to use Bing and I wondered how I could change from Mystart to Bing

Whenever I use private browsing I have to use mystart from Incredimail and I prefer to use Bing.I cannot find anywhere in Incredimail or Firefox where I can alter this.

Hello.
I can't be sure about this, but I'm guessing you have some kind of extension or plugin changing the behavior of Firefox. Try running Firefox in safe mode (to disable extensions and plugins) to see if this fixes the issue. If it does, you'll need to track down which extension or plugin is causing the problem (simply disable them one at a time). If this running in safe mode doesn't fix the issue, it's possible that some kind of about:config entry is causing the issue. Do this:
- type about:config in your address bar and press enter
- say "yes I'll be careful" if the browser asks you something
- now, search for "incredimail" (without the commas) to find any and all strings with it. Simply rightclick ALL of them and select Reset.
That should fix the issue.

Why does Firefox 'remember' a login from my last session when, on both occasions, I was using "Private Browsing"?

Why does Firefox 'remember' a login from my last session when, on both occasions, I was using "Private Browsing"? How do I stop this (without clearing other data)?

Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.

Why is data being retained in the Firefox Internet cache when I always use Private Browsing ?

OS Windows 7, using Firefox 33.1.1. I have set "Never remember history" so always use Private Browsing mode. I use CCleaner to delete unwanted files from my PC on each reboot, and notice that despite using private browsing mode CCleaner is deleting files every reboot from Firefox's Internet Cache. This morning, for example, there were 203 files with 2805 KB of data deleted by CC Cleaner from the Firefox Internet cache. What data is Firefox storing there from private browsing sessions?

If you are in private browsing mode then the location for disk cache should be empty and show the same as the memory cache.
Are you sure that this is the disk cache as there is more stored at the location where the disk cache is located?
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Note that plugins may always store data on disk in their own cache.

I Use Private Browsing Always, and Still Get Sanitize.js:136 Error

All add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, and Firefox itself (v. 7.0.1) are up-to-date. I ALWAYS use Private Browsing, but still get the chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136 error. After "exiting" Firefox, Firefox refuses to close right away. I either wait for it to close, or I have to use the Task Manager to shut it down by force. Firefox is also using phenomenal amounts of Memory or CPU at times. Tonight, after closing Firefox out and literally 10 minutes later, I got the above Sanitize error. There have been other javascript errors ever since updating to v. 7 of Firefox, but I don't remember them offhand. I get MANY of them while using Facebook, but lately haven't even visited Facebook. I haven't seen any other users post this particular problem while using Private Browsing, so thought I'd give it a whirl. It's driving me insane and I just don't know what to do to correct the situation. Thanks for your replies!

Hi, cor-el, and thanks for your reply. I do remember at one point in time (was quite a while ago) when the Plugin Container was a real problem. If I remember correctly the problem I was having, Plugin Container would still be running in Task Manager after closing out Firefox (sometimes even more than one Plugin Container). Looking over the link for Plugin-container you provided, I checked to see how mine are set and they are all set at "false."
As far as Clear Recent History, I can't. My Firefox browser is set for Permanent Private Browsing and I see nothing to clear.
Today, I've used Facebook and took screenshots of the js errors I get there. These errors virtually make Firefox unusable. By this, I mean, it locks up and becomes unresponsive. See attached.

Firefox crashes every time I try to use private browsing

Firefox works fine until I try to use private browsing. As soon as the "Start Private Browsing" screen appears, FF crashes.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

No Data retrieved with AJAX Call HTMLDB_GET when using Safari Browser

In my apex (4.0) app i have certain page a which uses JS AJAX htmldb_get to pull some data from an on-demand process using xml structure
var get = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'),
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_markerdata', $v('pFlowStepId'));
if (!MEBMarkerdataXML) {// Tabelle mit Kunden leer? Dann aus DB abfragen
MEBMarkerdataXML = get.get('XML');
l_Count = MEBMarkerdataXML.getElementsByTagName("Kunde").length;
I ran into a strange behavior when using Safari Browser (Mac and Windows) when opening the page.
As long as the process retrieves less than 50 rows everything works fine. The data is pulled from the OnDemand Process and delivered to the browser; the XML Data can be selected in JS for further processing

When calling for more then 50 rows Safaris shows a POST Error -1001 and no Data is delivered.
This occurs only on some Mac's and my Dev WIN-XP PC using SF Browser; never on iPad/iPhone . Never when using FF on Mac or PC.
I googled a lot of different Sources, it seems to be a Timeout Problem when making a long runing AJAX Call. But i did not find any useful hint.
Any Ideas from the APEX & HTTP Gurus?
Regards
Peter

It's just that in my experience htmldb_Get.get() is troublesome for browsers, due to the fact it performs a synchronous request. The browser can do nothing else while it waits for the response. I've seen Firefox really struggle with it in the past couple years. Also, I've seen no good reason to use synchronous XMLHttpRequest calls. As you can see, it's simple to refactor a call to htmldb_Get.get() into a call to htmldb_Get.GetAsync().
For your case in particular, I was just guessing Safari have implemented a timeout to ensure that they don't end up waiting indefinitely for a request that never returns as this would be fatal. You're probably hitting that timeout.
I don't think htmldb_Get is officially documented anywhere, but you can find the source here... http://apex.oracle.com/i/javascript/uncompressed/apex_4_0.js
There is also a pure jQuery way to perform AJAX request, I recommend using this because at least it's documented. Here's a snippet of a typical APEX AJAX request done the jQuery way:
apex.jQuery.ajax({
dataType: "xml", //supports text, xml, json, jsonp, script, or html
type: "post",
url: "wwv_flow.show",
traditional: true,
data: {
 p_request: "APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_markerdata",
 p_flow_id: $("#pFlowId").val(),
 p_flow_step_id: $("#pFlowStepId").val(),
 p_instance: $("#pInstance").val()
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
 // Do your thing in here
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
 // Handle error in here
});Then you can refer to great documentation here... http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

If I access the website of Cebu Pacific Air I get as reply upon entering a search request "HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.", but if i use private browsing i do not get this reply. This refers to Firefox 5.0 on ubuntu 11.04
I have tried to resolve this through deleting history and the cookies, but i always get the same reply. Although if i use firefox (ubuntu) private browsing or Firefox on Windows 7 i do not get this error message.
What causes this error and how do i resolve this?

Copied from the link mentioned below.
