Why my web history does not save in firefox?

i cannot see my web history in Firefox where as bookmarks are visible.history is not being saved.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Firefox 3.6.3 does not save any history, does not save passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings (ok), started in Safe mode (still does not work).

    Firefox 3.6.3 does not save history, nor passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings in Privacy (all ok), I restarted Firefox in Safe mode (it still does not remember history or passwords). Running on XP. I think these problems started when I upgraded to 3.6.3.

    I had the same problem after an upgrade to 3.6.3.
    I was using password manager for a number of web sites before. Not using cookies but password manager.
    After 3.6.3 auto upgrade it did not work.
    I could not enter private browsing mode.
    When I looked in tools>options>security at my saved passwords the list was blank. The button in the saved passwords dialog that normally says "Show saved passwords" was actually blank (the button was there but there was no text on it).
    I did have my old bookmarks and was able to create new ones but oddly the bookmark all tabs menu function wouldn't work.
    I decided to reinstall firefox 3.6.3. There is no way something with that many bugs got out!
    I was able to get the full firefox executable from http://mozilla.com
    I closed all firefox windows and ran the installation.
    After re-running the install and starting firefox everything was fine. It must have been a bad download or the original install got messed up somehow.
    I hope you have the same good fortune I had!

  • Search form history does not save in latest version of Gmail but does in older version

    In the latest version of Gmail, no search form history will save, but it does in the old version of Gmail. I have checked all clear history settings and they are all correct, as it does not delete any other form history including the old version of Gmail. This only occurs in the new version, which is why I've continued to use the older version. I have also checked for plugin conflicts and there are none. I'm on WinXP-SP3 using the latest 3.6.6 version of Firefox.

    Gmail may use autocomplete="off" for that form to prevent saving form data.
    Here is a bookmarklet to test that:
    <code>javascript:(function() }}catch(e) return(r)}R(self);var i,x;for(i=0;x=frames[i];++i)R(x); })();</code>

  • Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

    I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
    Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
    My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
    There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan:
    Thanks for the developer tools feature request

  • Hp smart web printing does not work on firefox. HP says this is not their problem and to contact Mozilla. Is there a plug in available?

    I just bought a new hp printer. the software has a feature called HP web smart printing. The feature works on explorer but not on Firefox. HP says this is not their problem and suggested I contact Mozilla. Is an add on available and if not will one be made available.
    I am using v. 3.6.13. and the printer is HP Officejet 4500.

    HP smart web printing is an application that only works with IE. In spite of what HP have told you, if they want their application to work with Firefox they will need to make a version for Firefox. It is not down to Mozilla to make a version of the HP software for Firefox.

  • One of 3 links on a web page does not work under Firefox 9.0.1 but all three work under IE.

    Please float your mouse over the Paypal button (bottom left) and over the Envelope button and the arrow will change to a pointed finger. Float it over the adjacent Blog button and the arrow remains an arrow. With Internet Explorer, all three button links work - but not with Firefox 9.0.1. Why is this?

    Well done knorrtje. I have since saved the page as .htm code and viewed the page layout with Dreamweaver and your diagnosis is spot on. I have contacted the page owner and requested a change be made to uncover the Blog button. Many thanks to you and have a great 2012.

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

    I am trying to save a custom code snippet in Flash CC and it does not save, any ideas why?  I am using Windows 8.1 with Flash CC.
    I even when into the "Edit Code Snippet XML" and added a Custom folder and a custom template.  Then I went back to add the code snippet again and it still did not work.
    About line 32, I added:

  • My Fire Fox does not save my History

    My Fire Fox 3.6.6 Does not save my History
    After 3 days my History does update and places.sqlite after reaching 1000 KB it does not save important links
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; (R1 1.5))

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why BRBACKUP cmd does not save SAP control files?

    Hello!
        We experience some issues running BRBACKUP utility to save SAP's data objects.
    When we run the BRBACKUP cmd, we see that all tablespaces and configurations files
    are save, but BRBACKUP cmd does not save control files. Why, we don't know?
    BRBACKUP run throught AIX crontab and it looks like this ...
    brbackup -u system/disapinst01 -c -m full -t online
    the init<SID>.ora file looks good, we can see that the *.control_files entry is OK.
    *.control_files='/oracle/<SID>/origlogA/cntrl/cntrlDDI.dbf',
                    '/oracle/<SID>/origlogB/cntrl/cntrlDDI.dbf',

    Somebody help us, please!

    brbackup copies one controlfile to /oracle/PRD/sapbackup and then backs up this copy.
    look for a similar message in your log:

  • Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black

    Hi!
    Ai CC 17.0.0
    Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black?
    I can not create an action that will automate this time a very common activity?
    Why?
    Best Regards!

    I was just able to. I am in Illustrator 6 on a Mac OS 10.6. I started a new action and went through the menu just like your screen shot, chose my options and clicked ok, then stopped recording the action.
    I found to use the action I had to have something selected.
    I see that you are in Illustrator CC, perhaps there is a difference there. But for the record, on my system, it worked.

  • 'Save for Web' action does not set transparency for gifs ??!?

    I recorded an action that just performs a 'Save for Web' while setting the white background to transparent.
    The action does not save/preserve the transparency, in any mode I run it (i.e. Destination None | Save&close | folder).
    Is this a known bug ?!? the same exact 'Save for Web' procedure do create a transparent background when performed interactively.
    Thanks, ciao

    Same issue. Hoping someone responds to this thread soon

  • Firefox does not save history and bookmarks and I can't even clear history.

    Hi, I would like to ask some help regarding my firefox.
    At first, I have this Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 where it all started.
    I can't remember really when, but I just noticed that I can't clear my history even though I checked all and selected "Everything". Already tried re-installing FF, still none.
    Then another one is that, it does not save history. All the history it saved were from the past. No new history can be added.
    Please help me..
