Recent history was not cleared when Firefox is closed

I am currently using Firefox 23.0.1. (latest version)

I activated the function to clear history when Firefox closes. (Use the custom settings for history in the privacy settings) where I checked all options in the settings.

However, once I close, recent history cannot be erased when I re - open Firefox!

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

(If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Open the menu help and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When you exit Firefox, you click on the X on the window or the File > Exit button?

Coming out to help the File > Exit button will allow Firefox close completely and correctly and will give it the time to delete the history.

  • 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.

    I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do? It is an Acer Aspire 5920 G (old enough)

    Thank you.

    There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  • I can't save the tabs when Firefox is closed

    I tried the solution in this link
    Firefox does not ask to save tabs, windows and exit
    but it did not work

    One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    • Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.

      • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs in the output. You can restore the next time by selecting "Restore previous Session" in the history menu, or by pressing the button restore Firefox's default homepage.
      • Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.

    To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

    1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
    3. Open the preferences/list page
    4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
      • browser.warnOnQuit
      • browser.warnOnRestart
      • browser.showQuitWarning

    Is it possible to restore this option to my version?

    For some sites that I visit on a daily basis, it's a pain to have to sign in each time. (e.g., Zap2it, which provides TV listings in your area). However, I like defining the Tools/Options/life private to keep all cookies until I close Firefox. I wish I could set up Firefox so that all witnesses would be removed EXCEPT those to which I have. If I could do this, I don't have to log in each time.

    You cannot use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox if you want to keep specific cookies by setting an exception.
    "Clear recent history" is all or nothing.

    You can leave the cookies expire if you close Firefox if you need to keep specific cookies.

  • Error: ' ATL. DLL was not found"when trying to run any application.

    Original title: ATL. DLL was not found.

    I can't run applications in my pc someone in my house could not get into the computer and changed operating system to windows xp, which allows to be decommissioning of this t. Now, I get this message when I try to run an application: the application failed, because ATL DLL is not found, re - install the applicationmight solve the problem, but I get this message after you have re-installed and I don't know what else to do. Slow computer charges and freezing, something he has never done before. Same IE you have a problem, the only thing that works well, it is the remote assistant who helped me to get here and to him intermet, actually all of this with the dll thing started after I deleted the firefox browser because it froze the computer. Unable to restore my recovery utility, I tried a TI ran and told me it is impossible to get it back before I uninstalled firefox.

    Unfortunately, the support engineer technical 'expert' who is hired by the tips from Microsoft to run sfc/scannow will not help you.

    I would say that, as usual, the technical support engineer has not bothered to reproduce the problem and tried their own suggestion.

    If the atl.dll file is missing, sfc/scannow will launch but it does not work.

    It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

    A lot of things will not work if the atl.dll file are missing.  System Restore will not work, Event Viewer do not work, you will not be able to get on the Internet, etc., until the file has been replaced.

    You try to run the system restore, you see the following message is displayed:

    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    The application has failed to start because ATL DLL not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Try to open the event viewer, you see a message like this:

    MMC could not create the snap.
    MMC could not create the snap.  The snap-in may not be installed correctly.

    Name: Event Viewer
    CLSID: {975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C04FD8DBF7}

    Running sfc/scannow will be launched, but it will not run if the ATL DLL file is missing and you will see events like this in the event log (when you arrive, it works again):

    The server {8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} is not registered with DCOM within the required time.

    You can't get on the Internet using any browser.

    You have to somehow replace the missing or damaged file.

    The file might really be missing if he has been quarantined (actually deleted) by your antivirus not specified.  If the file is simply missing, you can just replace it and then later determine what happened to the file and decide what to do about this.

    You can search Windows on your system for ATL DLL and replace the missing file.

    THE ATL. DLL file must be in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Check and see if you can find the ATL DLL file in this folder, or if he's really missing, you will need to replace it:

    Depending on what applications you have installed, when you search for your ATL DLL system, you can find ATL DLL in several places on your system.  You must be sure get you the correct that belongs in c:\windows\system32.

    The most likely place to find a good copy of Atlant. DLL will be in one of these folders:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    c:\windows\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Locate a copy of the correct Atlant. DLL from the file in one of these folders and copy/paste in the folder c:\windows\system32.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    There is a copy of the file on my SkyDrive, you can download a system not affiliated and then copy the file to a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and apply it on the afflicted system c:\windows\system32 folder.  Here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called atl when the name of the file should really be called atl.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    Hello!

  • I got a message "Firefox security" that my computer was full of viruses, asking if I wanted them to correct the problem. The address was not good as Firefox. I thought it was a fake. Anyone know?

    He could have said "Mozilla Security", but the address line was not Mozilla. I think it could be a new virus, so I didn't click on it. Today, it is the first time I saw it. My antivirus software is up-to-date and working.

    It will be a fake, there are malicious sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware. Mozilla does not search for viruses or send messages like that.

  • Save my tabs when Firefox is closed so that they are always there when I restart Firefox

    You have to use restore on my computer recently and once I did, Firefox seems to have lost the ability to save the tabs that I had opened since the last time that I used it, do not remember how it was configured to save tabs after each session. Also restore previous session was grayed out on then the previous session was not guarded, was able to recover some of the tabs looking through my story, right now I can't just close Firefox and open it to my previous tabs, it starts a new session. Will be closed in the future Firefox until a solution is found from my task manager, because it usually allows me to restore the previous Firefox tabs because it acts as an accident.

    Normally, Firefox saves your open windows and tabs that you will when your browser crashes, so it can restore your session automatically. To get Firefox to do this each time that you start, you can set that in the Options page. See: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    If Firefox does not always restore your session, check the Options page Privacy panel to ensure that:

    (1) you authorize Firefox saves history
    (2) you may not erase history at the stop

  • What happened to save the tabs when Firefox is closed?

    In Firefox v3.6* every time you closed the browser asked you if you want to save your tabs open so that they reopened the next time you start Firefox. Even when the update to the extensions/add-ons and by having to restart Firefox it would happen. It has been very useful but in v4.0. * This feature seems to no longer exist.

    Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    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

    If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

    1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
    2. Go to the general Panel
    3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
  • 26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

    26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it load the previous session, regardless of what has been entered in 'Options '. The browser runs in Win 7.0 64 bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides security features. There are some solutions 'cloud', also running as Google Drive, box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves in the same way in all my machines (installation and the OS is similar to that described above) and no amount of reset 'Options' seems to affect it. Nor is it affected by the way that Firefox is closed. This is obviously a bug that should be fixed.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

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

    You have your history, check in the library ("Ctrl + Shift + H') and sort by date.
