Hello Is it possible to configure firefox in such a way that it remembers forms history on pages, but does not remember search history in firefox? I have classic search bar enabled and all things that I enter in address bar or search bar are remembered and suggested to me. I can disable saving forms history but it limits usability for webpages for me. Is it possible to change something in about:config that would enable me to remember forms on pages but forget forms built into firefox? Another annoying thing is fact that I have to clear both forms history and search history, I cannot separate it.

Why is that ?

Press ( Ctrl+H ) on keyboard ...

Web browser based on Firefox Browser...

In addition to display webpage names ...

Why is the URL still be displayed ? rrr1.jpg

I got a notification from Firefox to update the browser. Which is fine. But, when I tried to go to History to delete the downloads and previous months history. It will not allow me to delete the months history. It does nothing.

I hope you have a resolution for this issue. Thanks.

There used to be a much more useful interface for clearing specific browsing data (the landscape-oriented one). The new interface is far less detailed to the point of strictly limiting its functionality. There used to be a config setting ("privacy.sanitize.useOldClearHistoryDialog") that could toggle which interface to use, but as of an update in the last week (I've been away without a computer for a while), that toggle does nothing. Is there any other setting that can make this feature actually useful again?

I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla website but am unable to delete my browsing history. I recently had a power outage and had to have my pc data reinstalled by a computer specialist. would reinstalling Firefox sort my problem?

For years I have clicked on the clear history, clear data and manage data on the settings page in privacy and security--directly after leaving every website, just to be sure...now nothing is happening when I click on them. FF is up to date and nothing is different (that I know of).

Please help. Thank you.

I have clear search history when browser is closed checked, and it still has a months worth of history and I have closed and reopened the browser countless times, why doesn't the history clear?

I'm used to use the sidebar history to open previous links for a variety of reasons. You used to be able to click or middle mouse click the links to open the tab in the current or a new tab. But it seem now i can only left click the links and it opens them in a new tab regardless. Right clicking only allows you to open the link in a new tab or a new (private) window.

Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

Thanks

The sites I visited most regularly used to show up in a row whenever I opened a new window or accessed a new page. But they have all gone. Also, the history that used to be accessible is no longer, it's as if I had no history.
