Stop the Firefox autocompleting file location?

When I enter the URL of a certain site Web NSFW bar addresses, or just part of it, Firefox with two locations of files autocompletes embarrassing. They take the following form:

file:///C:/users/[username]/downloads/[embarrassing filename] #_tabcomments
and
file:///C:/users/[username]/downloads/[embarrassing filename] .htm

Apparently, it's something that I've downloaded in the past. These files no longer exist, and if I right click on locations, no shortcut menu is displayed. I think its to do with offline files I opened with Firefox. How can I make Firefox forget about these places? I deleted all the history, but to no avail. I don't want to turn off AutoComplete. I downloaded an add-on called form history control but could not find any matching entry to use.

Can someone please offer a solution?

You can remove some URLs from the address bar. Just type in what you are going to spend, use the arrow keys to move up and down on the sites that you want to delete and simply press the DELETE key (not BACKSPACE) to delete this entry. Works for me on Linux

  • How to stop the message "this file contains form fields to fill out" to appear?

    Hello

    I have created a PDF file, but seen in Acrobat Reader displays a message at the top of the screen "this file contains form fields to fill live... »

    How can I stop this message from appearing automatically?

    PS, The original PDF has no form fields.

    If the document has a lot of buttons, this is probably the reason. If you have Acrobat, you can apply the security of the password and set restrictions so that filling form is not allowed. This will prevent the message appears.

  • How to stop the "Firefox" account set up the tab opens automatically

    My default home page is set to Yahoo, but everytime I open a new tab from the home page, the "Create a Firefox account" tab opens automatically every time. It is annoying because I double tabs I want open and need to keep close account of Firefox page. I don't want an account Firefox then how can I stop this tab always open?
    Thank you.

    Yes, this page is to create a Firefox Sync account.

    In order to change the URL of the new tab:

    1. Enter Subject: config in the address bar
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Find the line browser.newtab.url
    4. Double-click the value (present value should be https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/firstrun/) and enter another URL or on: newtab
    5. Click OK and close all: config tab

    Note
    The pref browser.newtab.url does more than 41 of Firefox.

    This is for security reasons: too many modules and malware use this feature to set their own new tab URL.

    Then, you can use this add-on: new tab override.
    When the add-in is installed, open about: config, find pref [email protected] and change the value to the desired URL.

  • Is it possible to stop the firefox to automatically restore all my tabs after accident?

    Every time my computer crashes or I have to force quit firefox, the next time that I open it, it will immediately try to open all the tabs I had open previously, causing the major slowdown and memory hogging. I have to force stop again for it to appear the normal restore tabs dialog box. Is it possible to avoid this?

    Set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

    Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.

  • Where is the alias XNET file located on a cRIO?

    I managed to delete my cRIO alias XNET .xml file. The problem is that the alias Manager does not connect to the cRIO (error BFF63101). The connection is fine - I can FTP, connection of the user interface, etc. I tried to let fall the firewall but no go. I suspect that it is related to the fact that the cRIO abruptly stopped allowing anonymous FTP.

    Rather than spend the next several hours troubleshooting a connection problem for a transfer of files of 3 seconds, I had rather just copy the xml file on manually. However I don't know where he's going. Can someone point me to the right directory on the cRIO?

    Very long story, but I finally got it working. The short version is that a few months back the cRIO suddenly would not accept anonymous FTP so I had to put a password for the account. Annoying but not too bad. But I suspect that's why XNET database alias Manager unable to connect. If I clear the INVESTIGATION period, then I got an error message. If I tried specifying "user nameassword@ipaddress" he complained it wasn't a valid IP address.

    While that fiddling around with it, suddenly I could not connect via the web. He said that the web server did not work. Then I reinstalled the web server software. I was wondering if this would allow the FTP anonymous now so I removed the password of the account. Already when I tried to do, he would say I couldn't have an account with a blank password, but this time it took. Now, I could connect with the alias Manager and it works beautifully. Alias downloaded, and my code works now. Frankly I still don't know what I did. Debugging Voodoo: try things until it works.

    In response to my own question, I still have no idea where are stored the XNET database aliases, but I think that information would not help me anyway. When you deploy a database, I think remember that LV converts into a kind of binary format.

  • where are the valid BACK files located in windows 7?

    I'm a key USB bootable recovery in what directory can I find the files BACK?
    1. pointing to c:/windows
    results - message: "there is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.
    2. I tried in c:/windows/system had the same message:
    "There is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.
    3. I tried in c:/windows/system32 got the same message:
    "There is no valid DOS system files at the specified location.

    If this directory files can the valid BACK is found

    The reason why you can't find the files BACK, it's that there is no place for BACK in Windows 7. BACK is a legacy 16 - bit operating system introduced 30 years ago. Its files will not work on Windows 7 machines.

    Windows 7 has a built-in tool to create a bootable CD, the "Windows repair CD. You can do this via the control panel / backup and restore. It is much more powerful than the BACK: it gives you full access to all partitions NTFS and it can accomplish several tasks. BACK could never do either. Highly recommended.

  • IMac, how to stop the white icon files when creating new folders?

    Whenever I create a new folder, the folder contains these white icon files that end up getting deleted. Is there a way to prevent this?

    Thank you

    If you create a new folder with the Finder, there is no hierarchy, you get a single empty, empty folder icon, if you create a new folder in the Terminal with the following syntax blue, there is hierarchy.

    # Do the new folder has with B folder it contains. And C in B and D in C files.

    $ mkdir Pei A, B, C, D

    # Just make folder a.

    $ mkdir A

    Are you using a utility Finder replacement, or creating folders from an application or a script?
