Firefox removes recent history, when I close the program

whenever I close firefox (osx 10.6.3 firefox 3.6.6), I return to find the story happened. I looked for answers and tried all sorts: my prefs all are defined to save the history, I'm not set to start in private browsing, I downloaded a new copy of firefox and replaced the old, and following the advice of a forum, I went in about.config and checked general.useragent wasn't bold, it wasn't.
the problem persisted even when I recently upgraded to osx tiger to snow leopard

the strangest, it is using history > show all history, it is completely empty when I start. But if I type some stuff in the url bar, it happens with the results of history (not the bookmarks, I checked) that I haven't visited in months, years even, there results of history for maps for a game that I sold 2 years ago

Rename (or delete) places.sqlite and places.sqlite - journal (maybe not here) in the profile folder to force Firefox to rebuild the file may be corrupt places.sqlite .
If you have a file "history.dat Firefox 2 in the profile folder, and then delete this file as well."

  • CS5 - Action starts automatically when you open the program

    I have CS5 and it was working properly until recently, now when you open the program first, it starts automatically perform an action, then I have to stop the action and continue with what I was doing.  Does anyone have an idea how to stop this action without deleting?  Thank you.

    I guess you've planned somehow a script to run at startup. I have no more CS5, but in more recent versions of Photoshop, you can find Scripts under file and would go to the Scripts event Manager dialog box. You can see that I set this up to run the sticker to the startup action. To stop running just uncheck the events allow to run box. It's probably a little bit different in CS5, but you can probably get by on your own now.

  • I have firefox clear history when it closes and it clears my exceptions to pop up windows whenever it closes. How firefox can erase history without deleting the exceptions to the pop-up windows?

    I have firefox clear history when it closes and it clears my exceptions to pop up every time it closes. How firefox can erase history without deleting the exceptions to the pop-up windows? Allow this makes it difficult to play of Facebook games like farmville, because I have to allow him every time, and I have to type in rather than it to automatically. Thank you, Jamie

    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.

  • Closed Firefox tabs without giving me a warning, even if I have checked "notify me when I close the tabs.

    So far, Firefox always pop - up would be the "danger; you are about to close x number of tabs"window when I tried closing Firefox with several tabs open. Today, however, it just closes directly on my desktop, regardless of the number of tabs are open. "Warn me when I close the tabs" checked in my menu "Tab of Options", but this still does not work. I always get warned if trying to open too many tabs at once, but he refuses to tell me when I close my tabs.

    I tried checking and unchecking options, restart the computer, checked my plugins for exceeded those (the only potential problem is Shockwave Flash 17, but the other options to aide said Shockwave Flash 16 was the problem), sought user.js and went almost all the suggestions on the forums. Nothing's worked, and at this point I'm stumped.

    (Also, I'd rather have Firefox clear my history when I go out, so just having my restored tabs when I restart Firefox is not my preferred option).

    This problem started this afternoon; It was fine earlier in the day. This is due to an update of windows, an update of Firefox, or some strange virus?

    THE SECOND UPDATE: I managed to locate the problem. Tab Mix Plus add-on is apparently not compatible with the latest Firefox update. Turn it off seems to have solved the problem for now.

  • How can I clear my history when I close it, but remember my login details so I don't have to log in again everytime I go on sites Firefox?

    Not call explanation. I put clear history when I close it, but remember active connections, and when I reopen it the Firefox browser, I have to log in again.

    Hello hanshotfirst1138, many of the sites will store the information that you are connected in a cookie, if make you disappear to the stop, then you will need to identify you the next time you open the browser.

    I would recommend this configuration: in the privacy options select "firefox will use the custom settings for history" and "keep cookies until firefox is closed. subsequently to create exceptions for the websites you want to stay connected. You can also easily adjust for the current of the site you're on right click on an empty spot then go on see information page > permissions.

  • How can I stop Firefox closes when I close the last window open?

    I had to get Windows 7 reloaded and my backup was corrupted (i.e., I couldn't use my custom Firefox.) So I downloaded the new Firefox and now it closes automatically when I close the last window opened. I prefer that Firefox stay open until I chose to close it. How to achieve this?

    Hello 1DKG, do you mean when you close the last open tab? If yes you can replace it as follows:
    enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  • my firefox closes when I close the window, but the process is not stopped since I got the update to firefox

    Since I upgraded to firefox 2 days ago, there a reboot problem. When I close the firefox window, it closes as it normally does, but whenever I try to restart firefox it shows the notification that firefox still works and I first need to stop the previous process before you can start a new one. Finally after I manually stop the firefox process it restarts again.

    What fixed it for me, but I am running v.15 because of other problems. I have to say I tried a hundred things and nothing works. I made the note never stop, even hours later, if I forgot to go to the Task Manager to end the process. It seems not important to know if I had extensions or modules running or not. I tried this before today. My graphics driver updated a couple of months. In any case, THANK YOU for this, finally something is going right.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning
  • Satellite C650 stops when I close the lid

    I recently got my laptop for Christmas, and a few weeks ago, I noticed that whenever I opened the cover, I had to turn it back on. He woul say the computer stops unexpectedly. Then you choose the security mode or regular. You hit one and we would send you to the Start Up repair.

    What should I do to get that normal back where I can close the lid and then open it again without having to reboot and wait more than seven minutes to start repair.
    Also, I got the blue screen.

    Do I have a virus, or is there another way I could fix it?

    Stand by. In the history I n t understand one thing: in power options on the side left (blue color), you can find the option choose closing the cover. Which option is implemented here?

    What should your laptop when you close the lid?
