Why can't I clear Browsing and Download,and Forms and Search histories when selected.

I want to eliminate some errors in addresses and autofil that continue to be primary response when I try to enter the correct address. I also can't clear the drop down list of suggestion, either singularly or all when I followed the Firefox suggested fix.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
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.

  • Can you use the browser and search the web by utilizing a speach recognition program instead of the mouse & keyboard ?

    ''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972710''
    I would like to know if Mozilla's ( Firefox Browser) can integrate with and utilize a speech recognition program, I would like to have control of and be able to use all of the browsers functions while navigating the web using voice commands (only) ,instead of having to use a mouse & keyboard. If the browser does have that capability, are there any issues I need to be aware of and are there any tutorials or web pages Mozilla can suggest that will help with this.
    Thanks in advance for answering my questions and for the information forthcoming!

    What is this speech recoginaziom program called? I need to know if I am to help you. Thanks Nathan.

  • HT201285 Why can i not see the entire Message in my spotlight search? when i click on it

    I am about to SCREAM!!! How do you read the entire search result in spolight? Please someone help me!! I am not good with this phone. Would it make a difference if the message had been deletedfrom the conversation? HELP

    It's not clear just what you're asking.
    If you search for, say, "Smith" on the iPhone's Spotlight-like search feature (which you get to on the iPhone by swiping left-to-right from the home screen), you will see, among other things, those text messages that are sent by "Smith".  You can then click on one of the messages shown.  Doing this will reveal the entire message.

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

  • Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

    Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

    Hey indianadave,
    Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
    1. Find your printer's IP address.
    2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
    3. Click the network tab.
    4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
    5. Set Manual settings.
    6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
    7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.

  • LOVE Firefox! I have just launched a website. One designer told me it takes 7-10 days for any changes to appear. Why? I have cleared caches and cookies etc. I need to be more responsive than 7-1o days. I need changes to appear within 24hrs.

    LOVE Firefox! I have just launched a website: www.animalhealingandhumans.com. My web designer told me it takes 7-10 days for any changes to appear. Why? I have cleared caches and cookies etc. I need to be more responsive than 7-1o days. I need changes to appear within 24hrs. How can I achieve a much better response time to good feedback?

    Hello binbingogoABC,

As soon as I have additional details about your situation, I will reply again to this message. In the interim, I'm sorry that I must impose upon your patience.

    Why can't I clear the chat history in Android?

    Hello, dmitry72, and welcome to the Skype Community!
    Sorry you're having trouble doing such a simple task. Unfortunately, you are correct in your findings - unlike the desktop version of Skype, there's no way to simply clear your chat history in one swift motion other than clearing the data or uninstalling the app. You can, however, clear the chat history of a conversation by deleting it. The only downside to the workaround is the amount of time it would consume if you desired to remove every conversation. 
    Your feedback can change Skype, so do send the developers some using the app! They're listening, so you may send this (or take a chance that this gets noticed by developers) and other bright ideas you may have about Skype for Android. You might see some great changes in the upcoming versions!
    The option to send feedback is within the Settings menu on the latest version of Skype. 
    Thanks for your feedback!
    If there's anything we could do more to help, don't hesitate to post again!

  • Why can't I find a Lion download??

    Why can't I find a Lion download anywhere?  My Macbook is not compatible with Mountain Lion (it's old).  And all I want is iCloud.   Very frustrating!

    You need to call 1800MYAPPLE and explain your situation.
    You can purchase a redemption code, and redem it on the app store.
    I hope this helps

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

    Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

    Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes.  I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.
    Apple is losing their way.

    Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Apple has removed over 95 features in Pages 5.
    It has also introduced multiple file formats that are incompatible with each over as well as everything else, and numerous bugs.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
