Firefox can not delete history automatically any more?

Some time ago, it became impossible to make Firefox automatically delete the history through Tools/Options/Privacy. But it was still possible to manipulate it by going to about: config and change browser_history.expire.days. I used this to 3, then Firefox would remove my story after 3 days as I wanted.

But now money on config I find browser_history.expire.days.min and browser_history.expire.days.mirror. I guess the thing 'min' means that FF should keep my story at least X days, one I don't know.

All those browser_history.expire.days thingies are however made 3 for me. And FF won't always clear my history.

But then how can I get FF to delete automatically? Firefox has really become unable to make such a fundamental thing that deleting history automatically after a certain number of days user-defined?

See: How to clear history

If you do not want to have Firefox keep historical never, tick the option called private browsing Permanent mode on the second picture in the link above.

You can also clear the history manually by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE and choosing options in the "time range to clear" at the top.

N.B. Since the release of Firefox 4.0.x days Firefox will remember history is directly related to the system hardware. Firefox calculates how much history to keep without impact on the performance of the system. You can not change this.

  • Firefox does not delete browsing history in the address bar

    No matter what you with Firefox in clearing the browser history by going to the history-> delete history, recent and all delete or reset FF by accessing information from troubleshooting, Firefox does not browsing history. The Web site you have traveled still appear in the address bar.

    Several people have already complained about this (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the response from the staff of Firefox is that it is be a malware. That's not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in own computers Windows and Mac with Firefox, do the same thing, or rather not do what it is supposed to do: clean browsing history.

    How dangerous is that. Where your privacy? Firefox must find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they do it on purpose because it has not been fixed after him complains.

  • Why Firefox does not delete cookies by leaving to open tabs?

    Firefox does not delete cookies for the tabs that are left open when you quit the browser even with empty cookie options set. Cookies are only eligible for the tabs that are closed before leaving the browser. I do not understand how this could possibly be a design decision because it completely defeats the purpose of the privacy settings.

    Under Options > Privacy I enabled/selected, the following options.

    • Accept cookies (no "Exceptions... »)
    • Continue until the "closing of Firefox".
    • Clear history of Firefox closing
    • * Download history
    • * Cookies
    • * Active Logins
    • * Cache
    • * Data from the Web site offline

    These cookies are stored in session data.

    You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (no HTTPS, default in the Firefox 3 versions) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.

    Hi Gilad,

    It seems more an audio problem for me.

    Please select all the clips on the timeline, right-click and select 'Remove' to separate the audio from the videos.

    Once done select Audio only in the timeline and right click to select "Render and replace. Once done, save and close the project.

    Try reading to check if it works.

    You can also try to export an XML file i.e tab of project selection.

    Go to file > export > Final Cut Pro XML

    After creating a new project > import the XML file, and then open the sequence to check.

    Original title: can not sync music to any Windows Media Player memory card

    This has not happened before, but now, whenever I want to sync music to any memory card, it does not work. It makes the whole process, and it did as it syncs, but at the end of that music just does not appear in the memory card. If I go to the status of the synchronization, all songs appear with a RED x next and it says that Windows has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device. How can I fix it? as I said before, this has not happened before.
