Why is the excessive MSIE browser history if I use Firefox?

I am running SP3 Windows XP (32-Bit Version) with MSIE 8
The system is common with all Microsoft updates and application vendors

Whenever I start, clear the history of navigation for Firefox and Internet EXPLORER 8. Then I run Disk Cleanup.

If I use Firefox, why the excessive browsing in Internet history EXPLORE? Why is there no browsing history in Internet EXPLORER in all?

After having investigated further, I found the answer to my own question. I see that another person, also had the same problem.

Thanks to the-edmeister. for the question me "what kind of story is in TEMP? I just took a peek, and the answer was obvious. In addition, no, I had not installed IE Tab add-on.

It seems that some applications will always choose the MSIE browser, regardless of the browser is configured by default. TEMP storage area used by Internet EXPLORER, in my case (C:\Documents and owner Settings\Temporary Internet Files), was excessive, for the following reasons.

(1) I checked "Preserve favorite Data" in MSIE properties. Preserved MSIE TEMP data on more than 4,000 of my favorites. Since it has been verified, MSIE would not delete the data, and it slowed the removal of history.

(2) Windows Live Mail also downloads additional data when you view e-mail messages, such as: JPEG, GIF, etceteras, in the area of storage TEMP used by Internet EXPLORE. My problem is that I get hundreds of emails a week, and I have hundreds of emails stored in personal folders.

(3) I changed my selection to 'Search for a newer version of stored pages': 'whenever I visit the Web page".

  • Why will not erase my browser history?

    This latest update has been awful for a very basic computer like me user. I have used Mozilla with happiness for years, but the amount of time I spent trying to get back to the way I like it starts to get me back at all. Chrome is looking awfully good right now.

    I already spent hours trying to get rid of the Yahoo thing that appeared suddenly like my search engine, and now my browser history will not clear. I used to be able to show the history and delete. Easy! Now even when history says that it is clear, even when I closed all tabs before closing mozilla (with the exception of my Google home page) when I reopen it Mozilla four tabs are back. It should, based on my my use prior, only open to my home page if I want to restart my previous tabs he asks me. Why is this happening?

    I'm a very basic computer user and this diversion suddenly my browser and search engine is a bit painful actully and frankly I'm sick of trying to fix it.

    Yay, love the internet. Found a way around it and what was the problem. I clicked on the wrong thing when settting to the top of my homepage apprently. Complaints about upgrade are still standing. Very frustrating.

  • In Firefox you get 4 how changing the expiry of browser history. It was easy until there was a counter to set the number of days to keep a history? Lizzie

    In tools, under the protection of personal information, I was able to set the number of days during which the browser history... Very handy when you need to keep a record of sites visited. Now in Firefox4 I have "Remember history" option. How will I know how the newspaper story is saved for the moment?

    In Firefox 4 you can no longer set the number of days of historic preservation. The method used by Firefox to store history has changed, for more details on the changes, see http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration

  • Question about the program clearing browser history

    Aftre the class implementation and the instructions to import appropriate, I can access URL in an application using these instructions:

    {Private site = Browser.getDefaultSession ();
    site.displayPage ("http://www.whatever.com");

    Is not indicated some managers ButtonField, listeners and a group of if/else instructions that serve the U.I to select a half dozen of them hard coded URL.

    The problem is that whenever the user selects a URL, the selection to become a historic event in the history of the BB browser.

    If I have Import net.rim.device.api.browser.field.HistoryEvent, I would be able to eliminate all the history entries that accumulate in the history of the standard browser or that will not work with this ease of use of the browser?

    If you have done this, you have an example constructor and method of your implementation that you would share?

    Thank you.

    This is not supported.  You cannot programmatically change the browser history.  The class that you reference is designed to be used with a browser field, not the browser BlackBerry itself.

  • How can I clear the browser history when you use the custom settings for history?

    When my history option is set to "Use the custom settings for history", the options page has no link to "clear recent history". There was formerly a menu option, but that seems to be gone now with Firefox 29. Is my only option to access the dialog box, clear the history all to change the historical option to history to remember and then change it back? Is there another way to access the option erase history all?

    I think you can get the menu bar by pressing the ALT key. If you want to return permanently, click View > toolbars and check menu bar.

  • Detect if the time/date browse button has been used

    Hello

    I have a checkpoint vi for the indexing of the elements inside the table and shows the date and the corresponding time. I have the large number of control inside my block signals, but I removed all the blocks out of words and signal for this discussion. I replaced all the unnecessary controls with constant values, so don't waste time analyzing.

    If you take a look at my vi, you'll see Star/Stop control, control of Position and an indicator of time stamp (time waveform) with a browse button date/time of another control of time stamp. I have all the features you want, but I have the problem when you use the button browse to bring up the time. I can't put my time twice in a row to the same value as I compare value "Last entry of time" with a current comes to enter. I wouldn't completely change my blocks because I use a lot of variables and property inside my project nodes. I'm looking for a way to figure out if the time/date browse button was pressed so I could jump to the desired in my registered wave point.

    I'll skip the actual implementation of what you're doing because it's not all that clear to me and answer the question about to detect if the button has been pressed. This general question came several times before in this forum. There is no built-in mechanism to detect that the Browse in a timestamp control button was pressed. When you click this button, it actually opens a VI with the title 'Set Time and Date'. For example, you can monitor to see if this window opens.

  • I have been using firefox since the beginning on my Mac G-5 until today, when I was asked to put my browser I did and now I can't not geet firefox as my browser. I s there a way to reset to the old version? I really enjoyed using Firefox.

    I can't get Firefox to work on my Mac G5 computer, since I have excluded the last proposed update today. Now, he says he is not supported by this computer. I would like to know where to go to get the older version that I had been using version 9.0.1 does not work for me.

    From Firefox 4, Mac must have an Intel x 86 processor (that yours is a Mac PPC) and OSX 10.5 or higher (you don't).

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.x supports even OSX 10.4 and Mac PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that the support for Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

    You can try the TenFourFox third-party product that supports the PPC Macs with OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8. There are 9 Firefox version TenFourFox . The product is based on versions of Firefox released. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

  • Why can I access is more my hotmail account using firefox?

    Since this thing 'Windows Live' has been implemented, (ie: pushed to the bottom of the throat), got hurt continually access to my hotmail account using Firefox as your browser, until, from the past week or so can not access at ALL, unless I use IE. Everytime I turn on my laptop, I get the 'Windows Live Mssgr' box and must stop and that close. (Oh, I tried a few time just "go with the flow" and went forward and connected to Live Mssgr, and I was immediately HARASSED by dozens of 'contacts' I had NEVER heard of and had to spend the 5 minutes following or so playing whack-a-mole with the hordes of spamming, until the only way to stop him stopping once again.) I am NOT interested in LiveMssgr, Windows Live, or one of that truck, is what I'm interested to have access to my hotmail account, using ANY BROWSER, I JUDGE GOOD of USE!  I have already written on this time, but I was told I was in the wrong section, and I had to go in this section. (And of course, some worker drone MS came and he labeled as being "CORRECTLY answered"). WHY can I access is no longer my email using ANY other browser except IE; and WHY does microsoft keep pushing constantly to be the largest and most greedy aggressor on the block? .... Anyone? .... Bueller?

  • Impossible to navigate the hyperlink in the upper part of a Web site using Firefox

    I can't navigate the hyperlink at the top of a Web site using Firefox. For example, in the site Web of Firefox, the cursor does not change 'arrow' to 'hand' when I point to 'Sign Out' or 'Inbox '. But it's ok for the rest of the site (i.e. the top right).

    However, if I use Internet Explorer, I havn't met the same problem. Help please advise.

    This problem is caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.

  • After putting the profile folder in the trash and delete, I reinstall Firefox and get the 'missing or inaccessible profile' and cannot use firefox.

    I started having the "it's embarrassing, impossible to find the website of your last" whenever I started Firefox. This happens even my preferences always says go to the home page. I deleted the folder of Firefox and re-installed application part. It did not work. Then, I deleted the folder 'profile' for firefox and then emptied the trash, so I can't get it back.
    Now when I try to reinstall Firefox, I can't access the new installation of Firefox because I always 'no profile folder exists or is inaccessible.

    If you return to the location of your previous profile folder (I hope that you back up your bookmarks at least?) and navigate to a level to the Firefox folder, you can find a text file called profiles.ini which always points to the folder that is now gone. To help Firefox to forget the old profile, you can try to rename or delete this file and restart Firefox. Does it work?

    Also, I read in another thread that the error you received is caused by a bug where you exit Firefox, when there is no more open pages. The solution is to quit smoking at least a page open.

  • Why can't I connect to YouTube if you use Firefox?

    The information is stored on other websites very well, and I was able to connect to my account through Internet Explorer 8 YouTube. However, when I click on the button "Sign In" on YouTube, I get an error message that reads,

    "The page isn't redirecting properly." Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end. "

    I tried to change the security settings, and I made sure cookies are allowed. I tried to empty the cache and even reset Firefox completely. None of this has worked.

    If someone could help me with this, I would be very grateful. Firefox runs much faster on this laptop to Internet Explorer, for some reason, and I hate having to open a separate window with it to watch YouTube videos.

    try in firefox safe mode and give a try

    Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

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

    • You can open the Mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + holding the key SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the menu option help and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use "" boot mode safe. "
    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
    If it's good 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 .
