• Firefox Sync history limit

  Hello

  I finally managed to merge my history of 2 different profiles for a single places.sqlite. Now, I created an account of synchronization and synchronized with success my story, I learned that Firefox has a limit for synchronization history: only the last two months are synchronized.

  I searched on: config for all 'historic' named entries, but there is no option to increase the limit.
  Furthermore, I checked on: sync-error log, but it isn't everything.

  As I never deleted my story for several years, I would like to use Firefox sync to synchronize this new places.sqlite also to other devices (PCs and laptops).

  How can I increase the amount of the history of the objects synchronized via Firefox sync?

  Thank you & see you soon,.
  Tom

  The prefs browser.history_expire are no longer supported in current versions of Firefox (it stopped some time ago), so no need to find or create them.

  See the comments in that bug report to see how it works:

  • bug 985930 - history of more than 6 months is not synchronized

  Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site preferences".

  Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

• Why 'Download & browser history' compensation crash Firefox and NOT clear my history?

  I want my Locator bar autocomplete erased. I use my computer for personnel, business and do not want my story showing on screen sharing meetings when you type in the browser.

  Firefox on Mac (Yosemite) 40.0.

  I go to:

  -History
  -Clear recent history
  -Browsing & download history
  -Click the 'clear now '.

  Firefox blocks (beachball), wait a few minutes, still react not, must be "Force Quit" through OS X

  Reopen Firefox, Locator bar always auto-termine. History still there.

  Starts in Mode safe, disabled all add-ons. Always hangs and does not clear the history.

  Disable AutoComplete in the location bar is not a solution. This is a bad solution.

  If there is a folder or .js I could remove from the file system, it would be at least something, but I found nothing on these forums who instructed on how to do it. The only solutions are to disable add-ons, start in safe mode, click the button "Clear recent history" even making crash the browser. To try to solve this problem, I had to wipe all my open tabs, re - configure my workspace, all it costs me time and money.

  I use Firefox because I'm a software developer and he has the best tools for development, but he is trying more and more to be a browser based on the consumer, as Chrome or Safari, and I hate those intensely. I don't want that. I want something that is a development tool.

  Maintenance of the premises {web link}
  Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives
  Bookmarks and history module places behind Firefox.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the < shift >
  (Mac options) key and then from Firefox. Is always the problem?

  Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can
  be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

• Miss me the function clear history in the history menu Firefox

  I am currently using Firefox 21. Since the 19th, the function 'clear history' in the menu history Firefox disappeared. So no way click on it and clear the history you like, last time... or everything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the browser several times without change. Only way to clear the history is by manually deleting on the left side of the window after doing Ctrl + h is it possible to set the browser?

  Do you clear recent history in the menu background?

• Why did I lose my Yahoo Mail seal and color each time I have quit or clear history on Firefox? Fine on other browsers.

  I have three browsers such as Firefox 3.6.28. I run a book of Power Mac G4 with OS X 10.5.8

  For security reasons, I installed a 'seal of text' and 'color' on Yahoo Mail.
  For my two other browsers the attached text and color remain standing when I left everyone but for Firefox, when I delete the history or simply 'stop,' the next time I have try Yahoo Mail the seal of the text and the color were not saved.

  Of course, I don't have to use Yahoo on Firefox, but I would like to; always have.

• Unable to choose 'clear history' - it is greyed out and unselectable

  I can't select 'clear history' - it is greyed out and unselectable on my laptop. Only, it happens on my laptop, but shows my story for many months in the past and includes the history both of my desktops, which is supposed to be cleared frequently. Sync is enabled on all devices, and history does not appear on desktop computers. I am able to clear the history on desktop browsers, but not the laptop. Computer laptop operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium I also have IE, Chrome, Safari installed.

  Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).

• Cannot set up firefox sync easily on behalf of different funds (non-mobile)

  It seems almost impossible to set up firefox Sync. I try to use the synchronization so that my experience of Firefox is consistent between accounts on the same machine (IE Firefox in Windows and OSX - I'm under bootcamp on Macbook Pro). I'm not trying to use it for synchronization between desktop computers and a mobile device, which is the way Sync seems to be configured. Is it possible or I was deceived into thinking Sync can synchronize accounts Office betweem. I installed an account, but I can't use it because of the need to enter a few characters to pair a device I don't want to do. I just want to backup and sync my adds & history so why do I need a mobile device for it? If please put me out of my agony and tell me if synchronization it will be or not, and how I put it to the top (without any reference to a mobile device).

  OK, right, I solved my problem. I decided to just try to delete the account and start again. Fortunately, the deletion occurred immediately which meant that I could set up the new account. Everything I needed was someone say, just delete the account. This is the solution for this problem, if anyone is interested. I must say that this configuration of the synchronization is a poor real hash that has not been clearly thought through. So I say that it is a complete failure to Mozilla. In this regard, chrome is so much better and easier to use.

• How can I remove users from being able to clear history?

  I need to know how to lock preferences for the parameters of the story. I don't want users to be able to change the settings of the story and I already tried the local method - settings.js and mozill.cfg. But the settings don't not gray in the menu options once I put them and that's what I want. I know that my file is playing because I have other parameters that are shown in italics in the subject: config that I blocked. I'm using the wrong settings of the to do it eventually? Or is there another method that I need to use. I already followed all the 't' on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  Here is my test mozilla.cfg file I created:

  //
  

  lockPref ("app.update.auto", false);
  lockPref ("app.update.enabled", false);
  lockPref ("app.update.service.enabled", false);
  lockPref ("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", true);
  lockPref ("browser.rights.override", true);
  lockPref ("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");

  Who you trying to change in the settings Option > privacy and you want to prevent others to change?

  You crashes only the settings in 'Clear history of Firefox closing' and not the main parameters.
  
  You can take a look to the topic: config page to see if it has affected prefs by activating / disabling the checkboxes.

  I don't know which have effect. privacy.item * Pref.
  
  The subject: config page shows only one for privacy.item.cookies and the source code makes clear to me also.

  I don't know why you want to include items such as sessions (active connections, basic authentication) used by FTP servers and disk cache and offline cache (offlineApps) application.
  
  People should be able to delete data in the event of problems and clear the cache and cookies must be one of them (we recommend a lot of times to clear the cache and cookies).
  
  Clears the form data and research should also be possible unless you disable save both passwords and form/search data.

  Note that only tools > Options > advanced tabs, then browser.preferences.privacy.selectedTabIndex will have no effect.
  
  Browser.history_expire_days preferences and browser.history_expire_days_min are obsolete in the current Firefox and used only versions in versions of Firefox 3.

• Firefox sync forget me each session

  Whenever I run Firefox, Sync has disconnected from me and I have to re-setup Sync for it to start my sync data. When I forgot to do so, I get to my other machine to find that my favorites are not synchronized. My settings dictate that almost everything is disabled (history, passwords, etc.) whenever I close the browser, but I don't think that my connection sync would be part of this (and maybe the problem has nothing to do with it). This happens on several computers desktop, Mac and PC, who share all the same strictly "clear memory" settings every time FF is closed.

  Try:

• Firefox Sync will not stay connected.

  Whenever I open Firefox, it I set up my account to sync again by typing my username and password sync key. I was under the impression that the sync account could stay connected. Anyone else know of this problem and how to fix?

  The solution I found is:

  In the Firefox Options under the Privacy tab:

  If you have the option checked to 'Clear history of Firefox closing': go into settings and uncheck the "saved Passwords" under the data section.

  Seems to be the only data that needs to 'remember' Firefox for synchronization to work.

• Delete my browsing history to older Firefox?

  Hello

  I'm just curious to know what is happening with my browsing history in Firefox. I have authorized in March and then has not used the Internet again until mid-April. Since then, I have not allowed once. At present, all of April - June seems to have disappeared, and June is the starting point of which my story currently trails on so far, August.

  I'm the only one with access to this machine, and I don't have a pretty good memory to remember if I did or not not clear history, I did not. Firefox hides history after a certain period of time? Or could thing go? I wouldn't know that I my story at my ease, if I can go back and check if I need to find some old information/references.

  I would appreciate a response to this, that the Internet doesn't seem to know a lot about this specific problem.

  The current versions of Firefox keep a maximum number of page visited and have no limitation in time for the story.
  Firefox automatically determines the number of pages can be kept without affecting performance.

  You can see the current value of the maximum value of the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the topic: config page.

• Firefox Sync synchronize after reinstalling windows.

  Afret reinstall I loged in Firefox sync and started to wait for the synchronization. Nothing happened. I tried once or twice, restart firefox, and sync still doesn't work. I decided to reinstall firefox with removing profile folder. After that, I loged in F sync and it downloaded history and etc., I created a few minutes ago. I don't understand why it won't download my latest profile news.

  The previous answer is outdated information. The 'sync key' (aka recovery key) last used in Firefox 28 with the earlier version of Sync. 29 Firefox and later versions (with Sync 1.5) can an implementation of the 'key' that the user never sees, which is created from the selected password. As mentioned above, if you change the password data in the synchronization server are wiped to allow you to continue using this account with a new password and to prevent your access data by an unauthorized person.

  In addition, you use Sync in a way that was not intended. Sync to synchronize the data of Firefox across multiple devices, not as a backup media for a device, as it looks like you were trying to use.

• Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

  After reinstalling firefox I can't use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account with the same email as my old account.

  After some research, I found this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ which I can connect with my old account.

  Now, my problem is that I want to retrieve the information I had in my old sync and I can't find a way to do it.

  In addition, because I lived the problems of severe performance using firefox, I deleted some files in my machine with Firefox (after uninstalling) including what appeared to be the location of the profile for firefox.

  What is really important to me is: how to recover my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?

  Thank you

  Hello, firefox 29 and up is using a different synchronization system which is not compatible with the establishment of accounts in the old versions.

  in this case, you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the version of firefox before 28, turn off the automatic update for the moment (in options > advanced > update), bind it to the old sync account (with user name, password & recovery key) and upgraded after you successfully restore your data in this way...

  Install an older version of Firefox
  Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.
