Which is more secure, using private browsing or don't remember history?

• 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.

I tried deleating and reloading Fire Fox, I even installed version 16 in case there was a compatibility with something I knew, but it changed nothing.

  If you run Firefox in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember the story) then you will not get the purple mask because all open windows are automatically in PB mode.

• How to repair the private browsing?

  Downloaded "disable private Brwosing more 1.9" and from the private tab / window and delete the history disappeared. How can I remove this addon ' disable private Brwosing more 1.9 "or repair the private browsing + delete the history.
  TNX

  Hello

  As mentioned in the description of the add-on, this add-on can only be disabled / removed when Firefox is safe.

  Use the following steps:

  1. Closing of Firefox
  2. Hold down the SHIFT key and open Firefox
  3. When the "Firefox Safe Mode" window choose 'Boot mode safe' - NOT 'reset Firefox. "
  4. Click on "Firefox" button and choose "Modules". Remove it.
  5. Close Firefox, and then open it again to the top (this is getting out of safe mode)

  The add-on should be gone and you can use Private Browsing Mode even once.

  I hope this helps.
