Deleting files, Cookies and history.

I regularly use Internet Options to delete my files, Cookies, and browsing history, especially after a lot of navigation. Deleted history is confirmed when I click on the drop down arrow on the address bar, and all previous searches have been removed.
However, whenever I click on the address bar to search for a web page, as soon as I type in the first letter, and sometimes the second letter of the name, the drop-down window comes up with a list of previous addresses that I've "wanted", as well as possible matches.
This tells me that my history of browsed sites was not in fact completely removed from the system and indeed provide any other user of my computer at home a partial/potential list of sites I have visited.
Can anyone help this neophyte work around this potentially embarrassing problem.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.

  • Cache, cookies and history are not compensation when I close Firefox, even if they are to do and have been for centuries

    I had recently an update (or upgrade?) for 16 FF. Today (and I believe that the update has been done a day or two before?) my cache, cookies and history are not compensation when I close FF. In addition, some links may not work. No links to full web pages but for pop ups of site (as the engine of Smillie on a bulletin board). They worked a few days but do work not today. I click on the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not compensation for a few weeks ago, but it was not only on a single site all sites which is what is happening now.

    My apologies if this is a little confusing. Thank you!

  • Someone can help me when closed Firefox randomly it deletes all cookies and cache, and I'm not able to restore the lost tabs...?

    For some time now, Firefox stopped randomly for unknown reasons. Sometimes, windows reports the error, but not always. When I launch Firefox upward once again, it does not restore my tabs. Also as a bonus, it deletes the cookies and cache, and I don't know why. In addition, this event became more frequent. Just in the last hour along before writing this complaint, Firefox crashed three times that I have change user, but not every time I went. I'm a taboholic, addicted to the tabs, sometimes 70 +, and it's the final straw. This frequency became more important a few days ago. When it crashed first, Windows has had enough let me know the error first one or two weeks ago. It has become the scourge of my internet browsing very. Someone please help, or I have to renounce my allegiance to Firefox and switch to the dark side which is Crome.

  • where is the setting to delete the cookies and files on shutdown temp?

    I remember a button control to remove all cookies and temporary files at the end of each session. I can't find it any longer--where it went? I can't believe that you must manually remove the files to keep the crap out on your computer now. 17.0.1 running. for windows xp family.

    See:

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    If you use clear recent history to clear the output cache while Firefox does not like what disk cache: cache page and "Preferences/Options > advanced > network" shows (no entry for the use of the disk cache).

    This does not mean it is the cache drive is empty or disabled, it is disabled and can still contain data.

    You can only clear the disk cache in Firefox by disabling the HRC in this case.

  • Can I export the cookies and history to new computer?

    I get a new laptop and I want to export my browsing history and all cookies. I saw the info on the export of bookmarks, but not what I'm looking for.

    Thank you!
    Karen

    You can copy the places.sqlite file to the new profile for bookmarks and history, and the cookies.sqlite for cookies.

    There is also a JSON backup (bookmarks-#-#-_xx.json #) in the bookmarkbackups folder that can be used to restore the bookmarks.

    You can also copy the permissions.sqlite for cookie/green exceptions and other exceptions.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How delete a wrong password that Firefox always displays; I tried to delete the cookies and the profile, but it does not help.

    Firefox allows the filling of forms (for example webmail inlog) but it also shows a bad login (consisting of the login name and password). I want to delete inlog false names to Firefox. I already tried to delete all cookies from this site and deleted the default profile for my Mac applications folder. But still login to webmail options are given. Where can I find the place where are stored the inlog suggestions?

    You cannot delete an entry in the dropdown menu with the mouse.

    You can do this only with the keyboard.

    You can delete passwords in the password manager

  • Skype says that my browser is disabling cookies even if it is not. I deleted all cookies and cache and disabled AVG temporarily - what to do next?

    I can't sign in to Skype with my Microsoft account. I think I tried everything. I don't have any exceptions for all sites to tools > settings > privacy > history. Skype mode using Windows safe does not work either. I think that none of my modules affect this, but you never know, versions of Add-ons are all old. So should I update all the Add-ons? Or just switch to Chrome or something? I would not, Firefox has been great so far...

    Hi people
    I had this problem just as apparently some of you have some. The combination is Microsoft Messenger, Skype and Mozilla Firefox and your MS Skype account. The process was for me stuck at the third-party cookies in my Firefox browser.
    Which is what I asked myself the question of old age... What is Microsoft up to... Well I think that in this case, there is no unwillingness on their part AND is NOT a fix for Firefox... at least for my system.
    The third-party cookie problem has been fixed for me... by opening the windows 7 control panel - Internet Options - Privacy - Options tab advanced and gone first to accept and control Third Party Cookies I checked everything else while I was there just for the just. My Skype works now fine with all my friends from the Microsoft's Messenger contact list. Go figure, who would have thought that simple.
    I hope this helps at least some who encounter the same problem.

  • Cookies and issue of profile

    How Firefox stores cookies? In other words, I understand that they are stored in a file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\d3z0e911.default. In one or several files called Cookies.sqlite. I have PC Tools Performance Toolkit and I delete Cache, Cookies and address bar history. Problem is when it deletes this I lose my profile and must move all around back. It seems that there is no way to delete or save cookies in PC Tools PT individually. Is there a way to prevent the Performance Toolkit to remove my profile? Which of the 3 above will allow the profile to stay?
    My other option is to use Firefox to delete my cookies and history. In this case, if Firefox stores cookies in a single file, how great Firefox does allow this file get? Firefox retains a certain size of the files that contain cookies? The reason I ask is that if I remove the cookies form Firefox I am only able to 'Remove Cookie' or 'remove all Cookies '. I can't select some cookies to keep.
    All-in-all but I like Firefox so far. Everything seems simple except for get themes. I can't seem to find a quick way to do it, but I'll get it.

    Yes it will keep Cookies, but later, you can also delete unwanted Cookies

    Cookie settings

    Check and tell if its working.
