Firefox: am unable to delete browsing history or clear private data?

Firefox: am unable to delete browsing history or clear private data I recently changed from IE to Firefox. I have gone to Firefox support, and cannot figure out why the the above problems. Problem persists in Safe Mode.

I have followed the Firefox instructions for troubleshooting plugins. Problem still persists. I have also tried re-downloading Firefox.

Wizard does not then appear. Any ideas anyone? Under Tools, there is no option listed to clear browsing history.

Click on Options instead. Click on the Privacy tab, and you should see a tabwith Privacy Data. Note the Private Data area, and the Settings... button to the right.

Click on Settings... and you'll get a dialog that includes a list. Here you can control exactly what it is you want FireFox to clear when you tell it to "Clear Private Data". Most of what people seem to care about is their browsing history, but Saved Form Information is what you want if you're looking to erase the tracks of what you've been searching for using the Google home page.

So, make your selections as you wish, OK your way back out, and then go ahead and hit that Clear Private Data menu item on the Tools menu, and you should be good to go. Remember: this has only dealt with FireFox. You may still need to return to IE and perform the equivalent there, since IE is used in many places throughout Windows, and some of its settings and/or history appear to be shared with some Windows features.

If this option is not there, your system might have been infected, or you've used a menu editor addon. In that case, you should check that one. Sources: http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_clear_my_search_history_in_firefox.html .

3 On the Tools Menus select Options, then the Privacy tab. Set the "save history" to zero days and restart. Or you can check the "always clear private data" box.

How do you delete your private messages on facebook.

Can you delete your private messages. Have been at it for ages - doing it right - they won't go away!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
