Browsing history in Firefox 17 - can I keep this for a specific number of days?

Previous versions of Firefox would be specify us how long to keep the navigation history and then automatically delete anything older than that. I can't find this option in Firefox 17. I had serious problems with FF, with frequent and long, breaks that I finally traced him to there is much too much browsing history stands. When I emptied all the browsing history, he seems to have resolved itself (fingers crossed). For the record: I also tried boot mode safe (w disabled addons), defragment my hard drive, drastically reduce the number of open tabs, etc. Erase browsing history was the only thing that makes the difference.

We can configure FF so that it will automatically delete the old browsing history? It seems to be all or nothing in tools > Options > privacy. I have FF clearly on the cache whenever I close, but I don't want to erase the history; just after a certain time (e.g. 90 days). I am aware that I can handle this manually through the history on the main menu, but I rather it would happen automatically.

Thanks in advance for the help with this.

Many versions now, historical storage Firefox is based on the number of pages, rather than the age of the pages. I don't think that it is a built-in way to prune based on age.

I have an add-on which allows you to select date ranges, but maybe it's still a manual operation: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/precise-clear-history/

  • Can't get remember my browsing history from Firefox.

    My Firefox browser (under tools and options) settings are never remember my browsing history.

    However, whenever I open Firefox (even after the browser has been closed and the computer turns off), and you open a new tab, there is a grid of tiles showing the sites that I have already visited. Also, if I click on the history I can see my browsing history.

    If I go into options and clear the history, these things disappear. But after a period of navigation, they are back, even with the setting "never remember history.»

    How do I get Firefox to respect this setting and don't remember my browsing history?

    (I tried to create a new profile, but this has not changed anything).

    Thanks for any advice,
    Matthew

    You can set a different page than the new tab page by changing the pref om browser.newtab.url the topic: config page.

    Is not possible. E-mail BlackBerry of RIM's push and pull not. You cannot set a schedule or do it manually.

  • Keeps asking for my serial number

    I downloaded CS6 Master Collection and whenever I open a program, it continues to ask me my serial number. I entered it the first two times and everything seems to work very well, but is there something I should do or can I disable this message somehow?

    FYI, there took more than 30 minutes the agent to customer that initially, I spoke to climb the case. She was refitted only after that I said that the answer that was given to me (whenever I open a product that I had to enter the serial number) has no sense and I post this in the Adobe Forums sensitize other members of the new policy of Adobe. Once she was rally new customer service representative immediately understood what was going on. This person makes a remote control to display my machine and it was a little painful watching him do the same exact things I did during these last days. But I understand that you can't be 100% sure that when someone says: they did some steps they have actually done them or has he correctly. In any case, after more than two hours, the problem was finally solved. It was resolved only when it created a new user admin in the run prompt, uninstalled the software and reinstalled, then licensed again. Finally, it is running. I appreciate your answers and try to help me solve this problem. Whenever I had problems in the past, I was always able to find a solution relatively fast in the forums. Unfortunately, this period has been very much involved. Thanks again for your help.

  • 36 Firefox: How can I KEEP my choice of default search engine and Yahoo Search?

    Firefox 36 insists now that I use Yahoo search constantly changing my default search engine choice. No matter now many times I put it for Google, I'll get something Yahoo and it's once again. I have Yahoo not checked in the search preferences, hoping that it will not be displayed again. Have restarted Firefox several times. No luck.

    My last resort is to REMOVE Yahoo Search my list of search engines to prevent that from happening? I MIGHT want to use some time later, but not every day.

    ALSO. If it's important, when I filled this question with 'installed plugins' information on my Mac and Firefox, a witness appeared, so I went to tools > Modules. This screen appeared for a second and instantly has far to another screen: DNS Yahoo Error Handler who had "garmin communicator plugin icon developer" entered in the search query box. My web experience is now taken by Yahoo?

    Hmm, it sounds like you have some kind of hijacker in your Firefox. Try this:

    Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • Tools menu > Modules

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or if it is obviously the badware, delete).

    If Firefox is redirected at this point, see the next section.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Who help me?

    If Firefox is unable to use the addons page, you may need to block extensions using the Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    (Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Can remove you it?
