Why is my history blank even though I have 'remember history' turned on in the preferences

Why is my history blank even though I have 'remember history' turned on in the privacy tab in the preferences. I use a mini mac, Mac OS X 10.6 and Firefox 6.0.2

Same problem here. I have Firefox on several machines and OS (XP and Ubuntu [edit: Win 7 too]). However, the bookmarks file is the same in each.
None of the location bars suggest (autocomplete) features work now. I tried deleting the places.sqlite (bookmarks) file and the bar began working again, but all my bookmarks had lost their "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon favicons]". When I replaced that places.sqlite file with my original (including the favicons) the location bar again ceased working.
I highly doubt that the upgrade to 3.6.11 would corrupt every places.sqlite file I have on multiple computers. That leads me to believe that there is some kind of bug in 3.6.11 that messes up the location bar (especially if your bookmarks contain favicons). Hope some kind of patch can be found.
Edit: Just updated Firefox on Windows 7 with same results. I even backed up the places.sqlite (so it could not be corrupted) file before updating then used the backup file when the location bar failed to work. Even restoring with the backup file didn't work - again, this can not be due to a corruption issue.
Finally, I noticed that one (only one) of the autocomplete bookmarks I had selected prior to updating FF in Ubuntu was actually retained. Is there some other file where autocomplete data is held? I wish I knew why that one bookmark is still able autocomplete while all the others will not (note: this is only in the Ubuntu install all other FF installs (in XP/Win7) bookmarks will not autocomplete.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

    I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

    Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
    One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

  • DVD's read as blank even though they have been written.

    The problem is the following: DVD's that I burned using both Tiger and Leopard 10.5 (before 10.5.1) are not being recognized as blank. These discs are NOT blank and they display their contents in other Macs and PC's. When they are inserted in my drive, they show up as blank... I believe this is something that appeared after the 10.5.1 update, but can't be sure.

    Are the songs still in the library, or on the hard drive? Are they checked?

  • My bookmarks toolbar is blank even though I have bookmarks set for the toolbar

    If I click on the Bookmarks tab, the drop down window shows the sites I have selected for the bookmarks toolbar, but the toolbar is blank. This is a new problem - I used to be able to see the sites on my bookmarks toolbar

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Why is my Apple ID only valid for the Apple store in one country (Ireland) even though I have moved to and live in the USA?

    I have moved from Ireland to the USA and now (legally) live in Seattle. When I try to login to the iTunes store here in the USA, I get a message telling me that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases from the Ireland iTunes store. What moron put in a restriction like that? Apple is now telling me that although I can legally move from one country to another and take up residence, I can not travel globally with my Apple ID? What use is having an Apple ID then as I can travel and buy globally with Amazon?

    Do NOT create another ID.  Change the country of your present ID.
    App Store Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2001 when using iTunes --> "To change countries, scroll to the end of the iTunes Store home page and click the flag indicating the current country. To choose a different country, click the appropriate flag."
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311  - Change your iTunes Store country: "Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region."
    You will, of course, need to change your address and enter valid credit card information after you have changed the settings.

    Realize, however, just as you can no longer visit your old public library in Ireland you also no longer have access to the store or your purchases made there.  You can continue to use them as they are on your computer now but that makes it all the more important you maintain backups in case of loss.  If you upgrade an app I think you will have to pay for it again since you no longer have access to the Irish Store.

  • Firefox is Opening each new window in new tab even though I have this option turned off

    Firefox 6.0.2 on Windows 7.
    Under the '''Tools''' menu,''' Options''', '''Tabs''' "tab", I have "''open a new window in a new tab instead''" '''not''' checked.
    But, I am opening tabs galore. It is very frustrating. How do I get Firefox to navigate to a new URL in the same Tab so that I can use the back button?
    I don't want to open dozens of new tabs as I navigate around in the same site.

    You can also try to update to the latest Firefox 14.0.1 version to get the latest bug and security updates.

    This isn't a big issue, just annoying.

  • Why can't I download FIFA 13 even though I have loads of space?

    When I try to download FIFA 13 it just says you don't have enough local storage available even though I have 1.9 gb free and the game is just 1.3.

    I'm having the same problem, I have 3 gb of space but it still won't download and I'm confused because in the game description it says you must have 16 gb or above and the 4th gen iPod comes with 16 gb so that would have to be the only thing on your iPod which isn't reasonable because its mainly used for music and we all take pictures every now and then but in the game info it says you only need 1.48 gb which I obviously have.

    after serval months of rebuidling and creating new identites for Outlook for mac2010 any reasons why this is constantly happening?

    I am not sure what you mean by this.
    is it ok to delete outlook ID's copy/backup as running out of space?
    If you mean you have several identities in the Office Identities folder then yes. You can delete whatever you don need\want except for your current.
    Are you updated to the latest version of Office?
    After the restore, navigate to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/your identity and delete the file called Database. Then rebuild.

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.
