I expect you are deleting your history at the end of your session, as opposed to only clearing cache.
Make sure your are saving history, then in the settings that you are not clearing history.
'''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

FWIW,
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work.

I want to factory reset my MacBook Pro to delete EVERYTHING in there and start from scratch but it won't work! HELPP!

I have a MacBook Pro and I have A LOT of files in there which I don't need anymore. And it's too much to sit and do it one by one so I want to completely reset it to factory settings. I tried booting it from the OS X CD by holding C during startup but it won't work. It just gets stuck on the white or gray screen with the apple logo. Nothing else. I'm assuming that it's because the software version on the Mac is 10.6.8 but the boot disk I'm using is 10.6.3? But I'm not sure.
I also tried booting the CD with holding the option key and choosing the disk, same problem.
Opening Disk Utility while regularly logged in, won't let me delete.
Also tried changing the setting of what to boot in on startup, still gets frozen on the apple logo.
Please what can I do to fix this and delete everything?
Thank you in advance!

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
         optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
         "C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
         dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
         OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Do you see a Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog when you crash?
For us to see your crash report that you have submitted:
#Go to '''about:crashes''' in the Location Bar.
#Copy the blue links (beginning with bp-) and paste them here.
Do you have this problem when running in Firefox Safe Mode?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
If it does not occur in Safe Mode, an extension is at fault. To find out which one, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].

Firefox keeps crashing outside safe mode (resetting, uninstalling-reinstalling, & disabling all add-ons do not help)

I have actually been having this issue for over a year now with the previous versions. The browser always crashes right after I start it, but it seems work well in safety mode. I have tried resetting the Firefox, disabling all the add-ons in safety mode, and reinstalling the application, but none of these methods seem to work. Here are the crash reports I have after I installed the newest version tonight:

Seems the crash reason is "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ," whatever it means...

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Firefox keeps freezing up and reading "not responding" in the top bar I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but it won;t work I have Firefox 6 I guess and Windows 7 and Office HELP !!!!!!!!!! IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

For the past few weeks I guess every 5 MINUTES ! Firefox freezes and the top bar reads NOT RESPONDING it stays that way for abit and is frustrating ! My Kapersky says no threats or virus I am fine, I deleted files and photos and music it made no difference. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox 6 and still it does it....and did it again as I write this.............

You are not alone Morganbai, Iv the exact same trouble. Iv also tried firefox 7 beta and have the exact same trouble. Please Please someone help us

I unistalled firefox because it said "Firefox is already running but is not respond," Now I try to reinstall it but it won't load.

I tryed to open Firefox but instead, it came out an error saying something like "Firefox is already running but is not responding." So, I desided to uninstall it. Now when I go to Install it again on getfirefox.com, the system does not run automatically. Nothing happens! Please help.

Bring up the Windows Task Manager, then on the "Processes" tab NOT the "Application" select "firefox.exe" and use the "Del" key or the "End Process" button,
can also be done from the context menu there.
To bring up the WTM by right clicking on empty space on your Windows task bar, then clicking on "Start Task Manager".
Firefox must be taken down for the install to continue once the installation starts. The proper way is to use File > Exit, but if Firefox is still running, you will need to use the task manager to terminate Firefox.
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

Firefox keeps deleting my browsing history without warning

I have never had this problem before but all of a sudden Firefox keeps deleting all my browsing history even though I have it set to keep history and cookies. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, I've tried going through the Firefox options for my history and now I'm fed up. I like being able to use the predictive web address when surfing so any information as to why this is happening would be wonderful.

Try to 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.
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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

I try to delete my history on safari which it does but still random websites keep showing up

I try to delete my history on safari which it does but still random websites keep showing up when i type a letter "g" for google as if I had just visited that page...I believe it just started doing it since the latest update. How can I fix it?

If you regulalry back up your phones in itunes, and havent backed up your phone since this happed, then connect to itunes, click on the restore button under the summary tab and restore your phone from your back up. Then turn on private browsing after thats done.

Firefox keeps deleting my (older) history

I keep a firefox history that dates back several years.
Recently I discovered that my older history had been deleted without me doing anything. I was able to restore it from an older backup, losing months of newer browsing history in the process.
Firefox *keeps* deleting my old history occasionally. I do not want this. I did not ask for it. There are articles on a setting called "browser.history_expire_days" but all I can find in about:config is a setting called browser.history_expire_days.mirror and I don't know what (if anything) will happen if I change it.
I want this behaviour to stop in a reliable manner.

So you are telling me there is no way to keep a longer browser history anymore?
Apparently, you are unable to maintain responsiveness from using a moderately big database file, fair enough.
Worse yet, your engineers do not understand that you DO NOT DELETE USER DATA without asking them. Yes, the history is user data.
How disappointing.
EDIT: I forgot to thank you for your answer, it was helpful regardless

I programmed Firefox to delete cookies when I log off. Now Yahoo! won't remember me. How did I do it so I can go back and undo it?

I previously programmed Firefox to delete cookies when I log off. Now Yahoo! won't keep me logged on. Yahoo! tech said to restore cookie memory. I don't remember how I took that action. How can I go back and change that setting to retain cookies?

Tools > Options > Privacy > History > Custom settings
Accept cookies until they expire
(You probably don't need 3rd party cookies for remembering logins)

When I try to delete message threads on my iPhone 5, the message app won't work until I restart my phone. Once it restarts, the message threads that I tried to delete are still there. Any advice?

When I try to delete message threads on my iPhone 5, the message app won't work until I restart my phone. Once it restarts, the message threads that I tried to delete are still there. Any advice?

I recently spoke to someone from Apple support, and here's what I gathered:
"Older" phones (read: anything iPhone 4s or older?) sometimes have trouble keeping up with the processing demands of the newest software. When deleting threads with a lot of media (photos, videos, etc), it can take a lot of processing to successfully delete. What this support tech suggested was picking some of the bigger threads at night before you go to bed, deleting them, and then leaving the phone alone-- and plugged in-- overnight to give it enough time to delete everything. He suggested not even pressing the lock button; just leave it to process (though I imagine the screen will lock on its own anyway).
Not sure if it works yet since I just spoke to him, but it's the closest thing I've got to a solution!

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
(A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)
