Cannot remove the awesome bar history

So I completely wiped my browser history, several times. But I always /all/ of my story in the awesome bar, which is just super aggravating. What can I do?

You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • I can't the elements removed from the Awesome Bar

    For the latest versions of Firefox, I always wanting to old URLS will appear in the Awesome bar. No matter what I try to delete them, they do not disappear. I did everything suggested (delete history, erase cache, reload with a version of Firefox, etc) - no luck. I also notice that when I start to type an address, there is no drop-down list that appears for me to be able to delete entries.

    I'm sure there's some semisimple difficulty, I just haven't stumble on it and after months of this, I have given up trying to understand me.

  • The awesome bar in FF4 does not display the URL of the previous page visited the current.

    The awesome bar to view the URL of the visited page, given that the upgrade to 4 FF is no longer the fact. It displays the URL of the first page visited say a goodle search so if you navigate to another page or return to the search results, it continues to display the URL of the old or none at all.

    A few possible causes. There may be an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4 the cause. For details of how to troubleshoot see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    The URL does not update can also be caused if there is a problem with the file that stores the browsing history and bookmarks. To see if this is the case, open your profile file, for more details on how to find this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    Now, close Firefox and places.sqlite and rename it places.sqlite.old. If there is a file called places.sqlite - journal you can remove it. Restart Firefox and it will recreate this file, import bookmarks from a backup, if browsing history will be lost. Now check if the URL changes.

  • How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

    Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

    For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

    Is it possible to either:

    1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

    2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

    In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

    Hi Danon72.

    To disable the 'Visit' item in the list, please edit the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in The editor of Configuration of Firefox to false.

  • The 'Awesome Bar' does not work. He does not remember anything of the bookmarks

    Just updated again Firefox. In the past, when I'd start typing a site in the firefox address bar it would complete as it was already in my favorites. But now it does nothing. It just sits there waiting for me the full address. I could start typing Netf and it automatically end Netflix.com

    Why is happening. Also, for the first days of the new version I had to go back in the tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they finally remained as I wanted.

    I would say he never remember history and after while I would look and he said, do not forget history. I wanted a blank start page, and not to change it. It's normal now but the Awesome Bar does not at all.

    Your bookmarks are displayed in the drop-down list auto suggestion?

    Otherwise: Under Options > confidentiality, in the lower part, does always show that Firefox should suggest bookmarks in the location bar?

    If auto-suggest works but the AutoFill does, you may check that it has not been disabled here:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste autofs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If browser.urlbar.autoFill preference is "BOLD" and "user" false, double-click it to change its value to the default value true. It should work in new tabs.

    It already is the value true, hmm, I wonder if there is a problem of private browsing? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing).

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

    Hello

    To disable the address bar to not display search history results. You can do this by going to Firefox-> Options-> privacy and select the option that says: "when you use the location bar suggest" and set it to "nothing". I have attached a screenshot that might make it easy for you to locate.

    I hope this helps.

  • I'm having a strange problem with the awesome bar

    The awesome bar/address bar is as impressive as it used to be. When I start typing in a speech, it seems that he does check more through my history and gives a list of possible matches but gives just the stem of an address. For example, if I type in "goo" will end this at 'google.com' if I add this with a "/ has" it's going to end this to 'google.com/analytics ' but it is also good that he doesn't get, as I say, no history list or bookmarks.

    I checked the options and also about: config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly had not changed any of them when he began to behave badly). I have also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.

    It is driving my crazy, because I quite often use sites whose long addresses and keep in mind each of the components of each address. I would go with Chrome, but I also use Firebug, a fair bit so don't really want to do.

    Of the image, it seems that there is a persistent add-on. He was re-activated?

  • I don't get the Awesome Bar suggestions...

    If I type something in the awesome bar, it is not give suggestions. I tried safe mode, but no change...

    I use Firefox 4.0.1 but I also had the problem with 4.0 and 5.0 (beta).
    I use Windows 7 (64-bit).

    Disable "AVG Safe Search", it causes problems of location bar as the ability to use 'Enter' can be a symptom of many other problems such as accidents and crashes. It is listed in the extensions problematic - MozillaZine Knowledge Base , and it must be stuck in the block list. You must follow the instructions to reinstall "AVG Free" without the "Link Scanner" component so that it will not continue to be a problem with the new profiles or new versions of Firefox. Compensation for the "AVG" antivirus version has an option to disable the 'feature '.

    Don't know if that will solve your problem, but try it first.

    Safe mode would have stopped the extension so it's not the immediate problem.

  • Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

    Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

    I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

    I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

    I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

    I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

    Your opinion would be appreciated!

    See you soon

  • Remove the address bar in Windows 7 Explorer

    Hello

    I'm trying to completely remove the address bar in Windows 7 during the exploration of the files. I spent most of the day looking for a way to do this without success. I found the NoNavBar and NoAddressBar registry settings, but those that appear to work only for older versions of windows and I found a way to disable the breadcrumbs, but I want to remove the bar completely. Does anyone know of the registry tweak or the file that I needed to change it before you completely remove? In Windows XP , it's as simple as unchecking the box to the address at the top bar.

    Blessings.

    Hi Mattya2006,

    You can not delete the address bar of Windows Explorer for Windows 7, this is the design.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find any third-party tool that will help you accomplish what you want.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Disabling the extension, the Fox, but better 1.1.8 seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for any help in pointing me in the direction to consider extensions as the culprit.
