Why can't I clear my history in FF9?

Clearing recent history caused ff to lock up in FF8 so I upgraded to FF9 and it doesn't lock up, but it doesn't clear history either.

Which items are you trying to clear?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Why can't I clear recent history in FF 4.0

Since downloading FF 4.0 I have been unable to clear recent history. The dialog box opens, I select time frame and click "OK". The box "hangs". After a period of time I click the "X" / Close button and FF closes et. al. Doesn't matter the time frame selected. I even tried it in "Safe Mode"...no difference.
OS = WinXP Pro SP3

It is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Why can't I clear my history? Always used to be able to? What have I done differently?

My history will not clear whilst in use and only clears when Firefox has been closed.

Hi Bobby,
Your upgrade to Mavericks shouldn't pose a problem. Where is the form stored? Is the form (and the response file) on your computer? Or is it stored on Acrobat.com? You originally said you were receiving the response data, but then it stopped working. Did anything other than your OS upgrade change?

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 clear my browsing history in safari

I am trying to clear my browsing history on my iPhone 4 but the bit ton is gray and won't allow me to select it in either the settings menu or in the actual browser. I also tries putting my safari app into private mode but for some reason cannot find the button... It should be in safari at the bottom when I choose to look at multiple tabs (or at least that's where I have always found it) but I don't see it anywhere. I am not sure if this is a problem with the new iOS update I just got or if I somehow changed my settings somewhere to not allow these functions but it is really annoying not being able to clear my history... Please help me figure out how to fix this

Hi,
Once you delete your History, make sure you fill it back up again!
Go to www.fillmyhistory.com for a quick, easy and safe way to fill up your browser.
Nothing is more suspicious than an empy Internet History!

How can I undo "clear recent history"

I accidentally cleared recent history. Can I undo it?

Got a generated e-mail asking if my problem was solved and a place to click if it wasn't. That brought me here. A couple of ideas Mozilla might consider---an "are you sure you want to do this" window that people could choose to install and those who don't wouldn't have to.
and another idea, probably not feasible, but an undo function.

How do I clear history? why can't I clear history?

1 I cannot download latest update I click on it but it never finds the server
2 - I cannot clear history - when I try - nothing happens
3 - my computer / macbook pro is so slow now - what's happening?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 35.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.

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.

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.

Data Audit is Enabled, why can't users see Cell History in Grids?

As an Administrator I can right click on input data in a grid and select "Cell History" telling me who and when entered data. Our users at Head Office are not able to do the same. They are provisioned to be power users with all entity security but cannot see the audit trail for data entered by their divisional users. Is there a security setting which will enable them to do this?

We are on HFM version 9.3.1 and our users can see cell history in a Grid.
The trick is that you must be at the base POV level where the data was entered.
For example Value must be <Entity Currency>
If it is not an ICP account then it must be ICP None
It must be a base account
It must be a base entity
Any custom dimensions must be at None if they are not used or at the exact value it was enterd/loaded to.

Why can SQLite Manager see my history but Firefox 4.0.1 cannot?

Just upgraded to FireFox 4.0.1 from I forget which 3.. and have all the bookmarks (or so it seems) but the places.sqlite file (which says it was made back in 2006!) is not being consulted for the history, just the bookmarks. History shows today's work but no prior days.

See:
*[/questions/692831]
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# Open places.sqlite
# Hit the Execute SQL tab
# Use a Select like this:
<pre><nowiki>
SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url, moz_places.title
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id
</nowiki></pre>
# Click the Action button to Save the results to a CSV file
You can also select some records and use the right-click context menu to copy the selected records as CSV to the clipboard.
You can also create a Temporary view:
# View > Create View : [X ]Temporary Name: Enter a Name for the view
# Use the same Select as above
# View > Export View : Database > Temp

Why can't I see recent history, not just last maonth??

I would like to see all my browsing history, not just last month or part of the current month??? How can I set this??

You can enter a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the Bookmarks/History Manager (Library) to see all history items.

Why can't I access my history?

When I try to 'show all history', I just get taken to the bookmarks library.

The Library window shows History and Bookmarks.
