If I clear all of my history, my passwords and everything is backed up?

I ask why that is because I read somewhere that if you disable your story it will also remove the passwords that have been made to these sites. Is this correct?

Just to have my story go as far as 2002 is just unnecessary and would just erase all of this but I want to assure you that nothing else will get messed up.

You must use the Firefox password manager to store your passwords, if you do that they will not be lost when you use the options or settings for Firefox to clear your history. You can activate or disable the connections and remove them if you want.

If you use other programs or third party utilities, you may lose any software support site.

  • When I cannot connect to all my sites requiring a password, and then close browserand reopen browserand I open a session in the agianevenwhenIsay site remember me the facebook

    When I log on all my sites requiring a password and username for example Facebook and Gmail, then I close the browser with "remember me" selected it disconnects me Gmail and Facebook. So I log into these sites once again. This does not happen to me in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

    Firefox seems to save the password and username but disconnects me all my sites that requires a user name and a password after each session. This happen to me before an update of Firefox.

    The only way I found to get around this problem to keep Firefox open.

    Thank you

    The box ' remember me ' indicates the site to place a cookie in Firefox. Persistent means that the cookie is marked with a future expiration date to keep Firefox it between sessions.

    There are a lot of ways out of this. For example:

    • Visit the site in a private window
    • Change the default setting in Firefox to accept persistent cookies of all servers (first and third)
    • Set Firefox to clear the cookies at the stop
    • Install Add - ons that erase cookies
    • Use cleaning/security/privacy software external which clears the cookies from Firefox

    If you are not sure about your settings of cookies, see the Panel of the Privacy Options dialog box:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > privacy

    If you have "conservation rules: don't forget history" then the cookies are accepted and stored.

    If you have a "conservation rules: use the custom settings for history" you can check your settings on cookies below this line.

    If you have "conservation rules: don't remember history" while you want to use full time private browsing and cookies are thrown between sessions.

    If the cookies settings are okay, and you would like some advice on your extensions, it would help if you could post a list of them. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the upper left corner, click the text of the copy to Clipboard button, then paste it into a response.

    After you have previewed, you will see there are additional information below the list of extensions that you can change them if you wish.

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • History does not and cannot go back to the browser.

    After the last update for firefox, it does not work.

    He stopped to remember information, when I tap on the top bar, previous search items do not come to the top, there is no history in my story, and when I try to go back a page, I can't it does not allow me to. If for some reason it isn't save data or sites that I go on. He has also deleted all my favorites. So I did a little research download the addon from repair maintenance, tried without success. So I completed a clean-install of firefox, and I'm still stuck with the same question.

    Anyone got any ideas? I have always used firefox after a week of trying to figure out what I'm thinking of other browsers, but I don't want to leave! hahaha

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Lost all my shortcuts on the desktop and cannot get back them!

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, my living room of shortcuts for a few seconds, when the office, then they disappear forever once that it has finished loading!  This has happened for a few weeks now and I don't know how to fix it.  Also, when I right click on any program and try to send it on the desktop as a shortcut, it does not work, nothing happens! I tried to restore to a couple different points before the last windows update, and that didn't work either.  I also run full antivirus scans, etc & still nothing.  Help please! I want my shortcuts back!

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I hope you have a point to rstore dating back that far.

    If this does not work, go to start / computer / C:\Users\\desktop (and you may also go to C:\Users\All Users\Bureau) and see if they contain elements of your desktop.  If so, copy all files and paste them on your desktop.  You can probably rearrange, but who should return them.

    If this does not work, your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Clear recent history + cookies clears all cookies, including those on the list of exceptions - bug or feature?

    I have several sites on the list of the persons authorized to keep the cookies always (options, privacy, cookies, exceptions). When I use "clear recent history" and check the cookies, the cookies are deleted, including those on the allowed list. Maybe it's a feature rather than a bug, but I much prefer it if cookies excepted were excluded.

    This is how it works. Using clear recent history clears all specified cookies and does not exclude cookies that have an exception permit. If you want to keep a few cookies then you should avoid using CRH to clear the cookies and delete unwanted cookies in the Cookie Manager or they expire when you close Firefox. In this way you keep the cookies with an exception permit.

    • Internet Explorer 6?
    • Internet Explorer 7?
    • Internet Explorer 8?

    Yes - the instructions may vary by"version", if you need to know what version (ALT + H, yet the ALT key, release H and press A then all the buttons then in Internet Explorer) Internet Explorer you use.

    For example: to delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer 7

    1. Open Internet Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking Internet Options.

    2. Click the general tab and then, under browsing history, click delete.

    3. Under history, click clear history, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the history.

    4. Click close, and then click OK.

    To remove all or part of your browsing history in Internet Explorer 8

    1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the Start button and then about Internet Explorer.

    2. Click the safety button, and then click delete browsing history.

    3. If you do not want to delete the cookies and files associated with websites in your Favorites list, check the box of data from the Web site preserve Favorites .

    4. Select the check box next to each category of information you want to delete.

    5. Click Remove.

    As for the rest of your question - you need to better define what you mean by "go private" because if all you want to say is do not keep a history - just sure the value 0 days or put empty when you close Internet Explorer.  I wouldn't consider that private browsing, but some might if they are simply hidden some of their most obvious pieces of the local prying.

  • iOS 10 - how to clear all notifications LockScreen?

    Updated to iOS 10 and all is well.  The LockScreen, I try to find a way to remove all notifications with a single gesture.  In the Notification Center, there is now a "clear all Notifications," which is great.  However, I would like to clear all notifications without unlocking the phone.  As I see now, I have to drag every individual notification, and then press clear.  It is a pain, especially if there are a bunch of notifications.  Thanks for any help someone can offer.

    You need to unlock it.

  • How can I clear all data on sync and start over?

    When I get my favorites the way I would like it on my computer and delete the ones I don't want that it is messed up. I have 4 computers on my account and every time I sync it evokes the old bookmarks. I deleted all the bookmarks from my computer and set up a new sync account then delete all the bookmarks on my other computers. Then I set up the new account for synchronization on all computers and still evokes bookmarks. Avoid any book mark because I deleted all bookmarks in all computers before setting up the new account. I did it 2 times and it they come back. How can I clear all my accounts and start over?

    To delete all data associated with your Firefox sync account:

    1. Go to Firefox accounts
    2. Sign in using the information associated with your sync account
    3. Delete your account
    4. Sign up for a new account synchronization using the site Firefox accounts or directly from Firefox

    Warning: This cannot be undone and will result in the loss of your data synchronization

    The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

    If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

    As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

    Hope that helps.

    Leader: Open Recent works do not. It appears as recent File: Open: clear all.

    Hi guy,

    Maybe a recent system update has reset your system preferences > General > recent items to zero.

    Type a number (for example, 10);

    Quit the system preferences;

    Leave the Pages then revive Pages;

    Open some documents to repopulate open the recent item.

    Any improvement?

    If no improvement, shut down your computer and restart.

    "Recent articles" are at the level of the system and refers to other applications, not just the Pages.

    Kind regards

    Ian.
