Stuck on "Never remember history" privacy settings

I want to "Use the custom settings for history", but Firefox guard returning to "never remember history" no matter what I do.
It happens with FF on Win7 and Win8 18.0.2.

19 ter on Win8 installed and initially had same results, but then I've tinkered a bit with the custom settings and everything seemed to come right.

Thanks Cor - el

  • How options are related: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?

    It is said in support of the pages that the option ' Privacy > don't remember history ' is equivalent to private browsing.
    He said also that after you activate private browsing does not store history or passwords.

    So how are related options: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' confidentiality > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?

    (1) if I activate "Privacy > don't remember history" fact it also means that the passwords are not stored?

    (2) activate instead
    "Privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing."
    This still implies that passwords are not stored?

    3 If 1) or (2) are together, what is the role of the apparently independent option "security > remember passwords?

    I'm sorry but the logic of the user interface is not really clear for me

    Thanks for your help.

    1. Yes. Setting "Firefox will: don't remember history ' prompts you to restart Firefox, after which 'always use private browsing mode' will be checked. The option "Remember passwords for sites" will be disabled and unavailable (grayed out).

    2. Yes. It's the same thing.

    3. as I said, in this case the option "Remember passwords for sites" would be unavailable (grayed out). The rest of the time, this option allows to disable the registration of passwords not in private browsing mode.

  • Firefox guard handed himself to "never remember history" even if I say "use the custom settings for history".

    Firefox seemed to work fine until yesterday. When I used Firefox yesterday, my home page was changed to Firefox start page and did not open my tabs from the day before. I went to settings and changed the homepage back to google.com and told to "use the custom settings for history". I closed Firefox and opened it again and my homepage was google.com, as I put it, but it was back to "never remember history". I tried several times, yesterday and today, but Firefox keeps affecting himself never "remember history".

    Choose the 'use the settings customized for history' parameter is not make changes to the parameters of the history and cookies.

    Firefox displays the "use the custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one story and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.

    If all the history settings are default, custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

  • Life using private > never remember history, breaks with the disqus twits

    Latest version Firefox 42.0 broke it. Disqus comments people link Twitter messages inside. The image of these messages no longer appear. There is just an empty space. I found I could do work again going in Firefox Privacy settings and turning "remember history" back on. When I never use 'remember history' twitter 'image' is not climbed. Here is an example.

    Hi nschm873, what you see is probably the new tracking feature of protection in incognito in action.
    However, since this is completely optional, you can easily disable it in the section the Panel privacy options: disable the Tracking protection

  • Why should Firefox back to "never remember history" whenever I go to "remember history"?

  • stretch image in html background working if "never remember history" is selected

    I have a problem that did not exist in previous versions of mozilla. I found the problem after you have installed the latest version and after setting ever "remember history" of firefox

    The problem is related to the CSS code to stretch a background image to fit the screen. The background image does not stretch if "never remember history" is NOT defined. That part of the image is displayed and the rest of the background is black. I noticed first with my website www.missionbayhighalumni.com and subsequently found that the same problem also occurred with this site:
    http://www.htmlite.com/faq022.php or http://www.htmlite.com/faqEX004b.html

    I created several test cases with very simple code, all had the problem. The background image extend tests of code all work for other browsers and even firefox if "never remember history" is not selected. It also seems to be intermittent.

    Looking very good for me and all containers have a height: 100%, which is also OK.

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • How to recover lost months stored tabs and groups of picking "never remember history" and lose the "last sitting".

    I just lost the previous months of the tabs in 3 groups of tabs by selecting "never remember history.» I was in horror when I opened the browser again and nothing was there. It all works.

    Caught around and I created a new profile if new changes be change or overwrite old data so I might be able to recover. It's still in the default profile and I use FF in the newly created.

    Please help me to recover the lost tabs and tag groups? Thank you very much. I'm on WinXP so there is no record of recovery, but I saw some things in App Data, tried to copy the entire folder to a profile in there, he had a lot of things but does not. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. But it is doubtful. I have always my favorites and Bookmark Bar. Maybe I copied it on, but the tabs are not coming.

    Update, I unchecked 'use closed' option just now and he tried to restart but it became "no answer", but I leave the program tries to stop. But at least its data. Now to restore it without the browser crashing.

  • Why Personas do not work after the definition of "never remember history"?

    I recently downloaded a light theme for Firefox on my Windows PC, but after I checked "don't remember history" (in Options > confidentiality) it does not show me the theme. If I uncheck, I still see the theme. While the option has been enabled, I clicked in the Add-ons > appearance and the theme has been activated.

    Hello, this is a known problem light themes not shown when firefox is set to never remember history (alias always run in private browsing mode). This will be corrected in the next 21 firefox that will be released tomorrow.

  • "Never remember history" allows to always "recently closed tabs".

    I use permanent private browsing (i.e., selected "history never remember ' with 'always use private browsing mode' selected (and"accept cookies")), and still under 'History' tab 'Recently closed tabs' is always a viable option that shows where I've been.

    Granted, is that before I close Firefox, but what I want is for tabs closed is no longer be registered or my recent history. I have tried with no Add-ons (in which case they were interfering) but same problem.

    In case it isn't clear, here is an example: 2 tabs open, one of which is Google. I Google search for XYZ. Get my results, close the tab. At this point, I have a tab open and when I look at 'Story' 'recently closed tabs' option will show "Google: XYZ." I don't want at any time. I don't like where I've been and do not want to have to close / restart Firefox (or go through multilayer of choice for 'clear current history') to clear this information.

    A way to do this? I use Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows 7 (starter).

    Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    To disable recently closed tabs, please follow these instructions.

    Enter about: config in the address at the top of the Firefox window bar

    Scroll down to "Browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo".

    Right-click and change to 0 (zero)

  • How can I know if private browsing works? The purple mask does not appear when I click on the mask icon. In my privacy settings "never remember" is selected.

    I'm trying to confirm private browsing works. At the moment, I have no way of knowing whether or not it is enabled. The purple mask, referred to in the help does not appear when selected. I should say in my privacy settings, I have never chosen "remember", for the story.

  • Security, I tried the custom settings, I went back to remember history, but key to REJECT 3rd-party cookies disappeared, now many 3rd party cookies is followed.

    After trying a story custom in the Section for the protection of personal information (not security as the first mentioned section), I went back to "remember history" but now, there are NO button to click to prevent the 3rd party cookies to enter computer. Now, a lot of 3rd party cookies appear very fast. I want the button to avoid 3rd party cookies returned so that I can use.

    Note that the choice "Use the custom settings for history" allows you to see current history and cookies settings, but by selecting that choice is not to make changes to the parameters of the history and cookies.

    Firefox displays the choice "To use the custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one story and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.

    If all the history settings are default, custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

    Make sure that you do not use clear recent history to erase these data when you close Firefox.

  • Firefox will never return history immediately after I said to use personalized story.

    Firefox will not keep my setting of "personal history". I said to use personalized story. I close the window options, and even if I do not do anything, when I open the window options yet, Firefox came back to "never remember history". I tried to delete cookie and preference files. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. I tried to delete the file profile.js or whatever it is called. I tried all the solutions I found online and nothing works.

    Thank you for your response. I understand that made the need for changes or he's back by default. I had brought a change. I does not solve the problem on my own with some tinkering, however. I changed something different, then it changed back and makes somehow the settings would you like.
