Why won't my PC remember History, when that is what I programed it to do?

Everytime I go to "Edit, Prefernces, Privacy", then under HISTORY: Firefox will:
And here is where I select "remember history" and then click "okay" at the bottom of the page....but it doesn't stay that way! When I go back to check in the "Firefox will:" section, "use custom settings for history" is there....and NOT what I told it to do...which was to "remember history".
So, HOW do I get it to remember history like before? This has never happened to me before....so please send me an answer via email so I can get this resolved. Thanks :-) !!!

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" setting if all the history and cookie setting are the default.
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected.
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab.
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.

Why won't FIREFOX save my HISTORY settings of USE CUSTOM settings?!!!

This is very very annoying. I'm ready to throw this program down the bit bucket.
I use it to access facebook and play farmville. I need it to REMEMBER things so that every time I load farm ville it doesn't have to get stuff from their server..
Every time I open fire fox, and go to face book, and load farmville I get a message that says I can load faster if I allow it to store data on my Computer..
I go to firefox settings and find ONCE AGAIN my History preferences will NOT save "USE CUSTOM SETTINGS".
I have to change it every time. I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Nightly (beta) versions on my computer.
I have totally removed both, restarted windows 7, restarted it again, re-installed fire fox and it STILL happens...
Why? I will be darned if I will use explorer, but at least it SAVES the settings and doesn't get them screwed up!

Don't get confused:
If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default value (i.e. cookies are enabled).
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
"Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the default setting have been made.

OK so I agree I was confused. What is confusing me even more is the number of times sites tell me I need to set my cookie settings to accept when as far as I can see it already is.

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why won't Firefox save my history, nor my "Options" choices regarding it?

Despite all my efforts, Firefox will NOT save my history, nor my choices (such as "Remember History") made under "Tools > Options" regarding it. How can I remedy this?

---If you did everything I suggested, you should still have your bookmarks saved (as an html file), all you need to do is import them once you get the problem resolved. I've done worse myself, when formatting and installing an OS and then realizing I forgot to move my bookmarks.html file to the temp drive... lol.
--- Sorry if my posts are long and contain many areas to consider/dwell, but that always seems to be the easiest & fastest way when dealing with anything tech, online. Messengers are faster but due to being a security weakness (they'll always be as long as the only "tunneling" firewall is owned by Symantec/Norton), and they never even get downloaded to my machines, so please, try to take in everything if you see it applies, and I will do my best not to steer you wrong by leaving something out.
---Open the tab you want to change in '''Tools | Options | etc.''' and then not only select your preference, but tic or untic a box for an "advanced/user choice". like untic "Accept Third-Party Cookies" and tic "remember search and form history". Also, untic "automatically start firefox in a private browsing session" if it's tic-ed... untic "clear history when firefox closes". Sorry if you have already, cause as you said originally, you've tried everything... but,''' if you don't change any settings (after changing the drop-down box for preferences) and click "apply", changes won't be saved.'''

---I blame M$, IE and most of all Mozilla developers if the problem spreads to everyone who has IE8 on their systems. I don't have the issue, but my IE hasn't been updated from 7 when I upgraded and freshly installed Windows XP Pro SP3. If IE 7 is giving me grief with FF, I could only imagine what newer versions of IE could screw up for FF as long as they're allowed to fornicate behind the parents' (users') backs.

When I change from "remember History" to "use custom settings" it defaults back to remember history when I close the window. How do I keep my new setting?

I need 3rd party cookies enabled for a specific site. When I try to save custom settings, it defaults back to remember history and I can't open what I need on the site

Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"
Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes. 
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.

Why won't the add-ons appear when I click on "Get Add-Ons"?

I've been trying to find new add-ons for Thunderbird and Firefox, but the "loading" button comes up, then a box that says "What are Add Ons" and goes into detail. Says they will show up when connected to the internet. I am connected, but nothing shows up. I don't want to have to get rid of Firefox and Thunderbird and start over again. Someone must know something that is going on with this. Any help is appreciated.

Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

Why won't my Ipod Sync the music that is already downloaded?

I have only had my ipod for about 5 months and now it's not working properly. I have already downloaded the new verison of itunes to ssee if that was the problem but still nothing. When I try to sync it, it says it's syncing. Once my ipod screen is back to normal my pc says there is an unknown error that ocurred.

What is the exact wording of the error message?
have yo successfully synced for this computer/iTunes library before?
on the computer are you signed into an account with administrative right?

Why won't firefox delete my history searches and cookies and cahce when I click clear history?

There's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle and it says "All items selected will be cleared. This action cannot be undone" when I try deleting everything in the clear history tab.

Please ensure that you do not have an add-on or third party program that will prevent Firefox from deleting history.
This can also be the sign of malware or another infection. 
Please scan your computer for infection. Here are some great free tools:

Why won't Firefox retain any history, save bookmarks, or save changes?

Back when I tried updating Firefox 3 to 6, I was prompted to input the administrator password (as I was installing it on another user). I exited out rather than input it, but Firefox updated anyway. The next day, after turning in my laptop again and opening firefix, it had returned to ver. 3. After updating it to 6 (with the password this time),it updated successfully, but ever since then, no matter wht version I use (7 and now 8), Firefox won't retain any of hy browsing history, allow me to add bookmarks, or save any of the changes I make to the browser whatsoever. Is there any way to fix this?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why won't my iPad 3 history clear?

Here is some other information: I noticed a few days ago that a website I had not visited was in my iPad's browsing history. I deleted my history and cookies and data but they remained. I was on my dad's username: he and I shared one; now that I'm an adult, I decided to create my own.
I went into Settings/Safari and then cleared everything, but there are still some sites that I visited that won't clear. What should I do? Is anything wrong?
The site that orignially appeared that I didn't visit was the NFL site and the site that now won't go away is my local newspaper.
I should also note that I have checked my bookmarks to see if I accidentally added it; I didn't.

Why won't Lightroom save my edits when I export them?

When I export my photos as JPEGs, the changes that I've made aren't saved. I open the exported photo but it looks just like the original with no changes made to it. I am using the trial version right now as I am waiting for the software in the mail. Could this be why? HELP! Below: the left picture is the exported photo and the right picture is what it should look like!

No, the trial version is a full version of Lr with all features enabled.
Did you select <Original> in the Export Dialog / File Settings section?
<Original> means that you export the file in its original state, before you did any editing.
If you want your edits included in the exported image you have to select one of the file formats other than <Original>.

Adobe Audiotion CS6, why won't it preview my audio when i try to play my sequence back?

So, before, my audition worked fine but when trying to edit my current audio project, I am unable to play the sequence back so that I can make changes to my audio efectively. My audio is at 48,000 and so is my video. Me needs help now!

Will it play back at all? If it won't, then check that your audio hardware is still connected correctly in Preferences>Audio hardware. If this gets disconnected, the transport won't work at all.
