Why 'Download &; browser history' compensation crash Firefox and NOT clear my history?
I want my Locator bar autocomplete erased. I use my computer for personnel, business and do not want my story showing on screen sharing meetings when you type in the browser.
Firefox on Mac (Yosemite) 40.0.
I go to:
-History
-Clear recent history
-Browsing & download history
-Click the 'clear now '.
Firefox blocks (beachball), wait a few minutes, still react not, must be "Force Quit" through OS X
Reopen Firefox, Locator bar always auto-termine. History still there.
Starts in Mode safe, disabled all add-ons. Always hangs and does not clear the history.
Disable AutoComplete in the location bar is not a solution. This is a bad solution.
If there is a folder or .js I could remove from the file system, it would be at least something, but I found nothing on these forums who instructed on how to do it. The only solutions are to disable add-ons, start in safe mode, click the button "Clear recent history" even making crash the browser. To try to solve this problem, I had to wipe all my open tabs, re - configure my workspace, all it costs me time and money.
I use Firefox because I'm a software developer and he has the best tools for development, but he is trying more and more to be a browser based on the consumer, as Chrome or Safari, and I hate those intensely. I don't want that. I want something that is a development tool.
Maintenance of the premises {web link}
Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives
Bookmarks and history module places behind Firefox.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the < shift >
(Mac options) key and then from Firefox. Is always the problem?
Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can
be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

How can I get regular Firefox and not the version of "Yahoo"?
I want firefox, but I do not like the version where I always search yahoo page and it won't let me set my own homepage.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.
- Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep problems also create a new profile.

I'm using mac os x version 10.7.4 and I try to update Firefox 3.5.5 version to the latest version. The Firefox icon in my doc still persists and leads me to the old version of Firefox. If it's supposed to happen?
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

I really like to use the session restore but its so erased its uninstalled.
Yes to aid,
Start > Search > firefox.exe /ProfileManager {ENTER}
I got to the profiles.
I'm fed up and uninstalled Firefox, when he asked if I wanted to erase all data associated with Firefox I did not and when I reinstalled it straight last session here, I assume that this sort of program file has been damaged and has stopped working. Put it back, fixed everything that was wrong.

No, you protect your personal data when you update Firefox.

I hate this new update. I basically can't use the browser more. I only need firefox to do things properly, but if she cannot do these things I can't use it
1. If firefox crashes (it does every 30 minutes it completely closed), then I need to be able to restore / recover all previously open windows when I start it back up again. There is no more.
2. I use the bookmarks toolbar all the time, but often it appears completely blank. So now, the only way I can see bookmarks is if I go to options and uncheck bookmarks toolbar option and reselect then toolbar of bookmarks.It's so frustrating and worse still make you sure you can't do restorations! It of insulting and makes me want to not use your browser. A browser is a tool not criticizing a toy, but you guys will not stop playing with it.
Also, older versions of the extension, meet bugs, you can refresh by using:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons > "gear" button > "Check for Updates".
For example, GM 1.5 (November 2012) vs GM 1.11 (July 2013).

Firefox is my browser. Google is my cover page. It keeps giving me the message that I'm not on the latest version of Firefox
Hi chrisbondi,
You can see this message under the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old default Firefox homepage. This page is no longer maintained by Google.
You should try to change your home page:

If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.
