• How to set how many months of history remembers Firefox? And how many months of history normally remembers Firefox?

  It seems the option to set the number of months (or weeks) to historical data which will be remembered are absent from the history section of the Firefox options. Is there a more indirect way to define how much Firefox history will remember, perhaps to about: config or so?

  And incidentally, how history * fact * Firefox remember when I check "remember history"? I can't find where that is specified. I assumed he remembered all the sites I've ever visited, but back in the "Oldest of 6 months" folder in the history, I see that this is not the case. There are only a few dozen sites, whereas it should be hundreds (because I think that I never deleted history for about 2 years).

  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 stores is not history.

  Firefox stores history. I tried to re install and it did not fix the problem. I also played with the settings it that nothing has changed.

  Well, I was able to fix by a purge and then remove everything in the directory "~/.mozzila/firefox" and then put it back. It is also has also affected my linux box at work. I hope that the same trick will fix it as well.

• How can I delete my entire history on Firefox except for history to download?

  I want to delete my browsing history, cookies and cache, but I want to keep my download history, all that.

  I can't remember what version it is, but after update, I deleted my browser history and noticed that my download history has been eliminated up to a point, before the update. The last time I tried, I could delete my cookies and cache and my download history was untouched.

  I see in the "clear recent history" dialog navigation and history of downloads are consider one thing. It wasn't a thing before.

  I want to keep my download history but delete my browsing history, cookies and cache.

  Go to the Options window > Panel Privacy > history session click use the customized for history > clear history of Firefox closing then settings button is active click it, and then click except download history or other things you want to keep it > click OK to save, exit firefox and restart.

  Thank you

• All the possible ways to recover the history of Firefox?

  I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I didn't like it so I went down to Firefox 3.5. I had to reboot my computer. After that, my favorites are still there, but my story had disappeared.

  I'm extremely desperate to get it back and it was making me feel upset throughout the day now.

  If you downgraded to Firefox 3.5 Firefox 4, it will be deleted the history and cookies, demotion to 3.6 does not remove these data. This is because Firefox 4 uses a new format to store cookies, bookmarks and history. Firefox 3.6 can read this format, but Firefox 3.5 cannot. Firefox 3.5 will qualify the new formats of corrupted files and replace them with the new files, import bookmarks from a backup.

  As you seem to be using Firefox 3.6.16 now, you may be able to recover. Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it, see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles

  Now close Firefox. Is there a file called places.sqlite.corrupt? If there is, rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old, and then rename places.sqlite.corrupt to places.sqlite, restart Firefox and it should you have history and bookmarks in the time that you use Firefox 4.

• How Firefox uses cookies to keep logging in to Facebook if I close all the browsers?

  I use all the time in private browsing and I never store passwords. This is the situation: I have two Windows Open firefox running. On one of them, I connect to facebook. Then I close this window. If I go to the other window and go to facebook.com , it connects me to automatically. How firefox (or facebook) use cookies on my computer to do?

  I thought that this would happen only if I had saved passwords.

  Hello

  Private browsing should always keep cookies temporarily in the memory for the normal functioning of the websites. So once logged into a site, the cookie from the site would remain until private browsing is closed or until you exit Firefox via file (Alt + F) > Exit. X using only closed the particular window.

• How Photos stores libraries?

  I would like to understand how Photos stores photos. I come from a background of Picasa. Picasa, only used tags to build libraries but not to reproduce the photo itself (which I understand). However, it looks like iPhotos and Photos really build a coded library which, in a sense, duplicate photos in their own system of coded library.

  Is this correct?

  So, if this is correct, I guess that if I want to use one of the photos of, say, a document, I first need to export in the pictures folder (or somewhere) and it access?

  And, if this is correct, it raises the question of whether copies of photo outside the library can be deleted safely? What a pity that 'information' about the photos of the library do not point to their original location in the pictures folder.

  Post edited by: wizard_chef to add another question

  It looks like iPhotos and Photos really build a coded library which, in a sense, duplicate photos in their own system of coded library.

  Is this correct?

  Photos, iPhoto, Aperture, etc., are essentially applications of databases keep track of your photos and everything that changes and tags have been added to them.

  If you have iPhoto and photo libraries, they both link to the same files on your drive. the files are not duplicated, even if she looks like this in the Finder. If you remove, say, iPhoto library, you re - win very small storage space.

  Because these applications are databases, you should let them consolidate (as opposed to the use of libraries referenced) all your images and never, ever try to reorganize or rename, the files directly in the library file.

• 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.

• How Firefox knows what tabs/windows you had open when click you on "restore session"? If it is a temporary file or something, where it is preserved?

  My computer crashed and will not back to zero (I think it's because of a bad repair of Windows XP after a virus has passed my security). Before it crashed, I was easily 20 tabs open in Firefox, some of them being very important, but I don't remember what some of them were called or how I found them. I was wondering how Firefox knows what tabs/windows to open when you click on 'Restore Session', if it is stored in a file of all kinds, so that I could start on Linux, download the file and somehow use it once I have installed my new buy Win7. It is not a Firefox problem, but I didn't know where it is best to ask this question.
