Latest Firefox version
Hey, I just noticed something.
A while back I was complaining about Firefox and the "text size" setting. You could increase it for a session, but it automatically defaulted back to normal when Firefox was closed and then restarted. The new version fixed that. Now, it's called "zoom" instead of "text size", and once set to your liking, it remains set, even after you close and then restart Firefox. Only complaint I have is that apparently there is no way to clear the URL location history. That's the box that opens when you click on the little arrow on the right side of the URL field and displays several previously visited website URL's. That used to clear when you cleared history, I think, but no more, and there's no obvious way of clearing it. Not a big deal, but it's annoying. Eisboch |

Did the "clear private data" using the default checked boxes, but that didn't do it. Went to "help" and searched for "clear url location" and found a couple of comments by other users. Both said it can't be cleared in the new version of Firefox. ??????? Eisboch |

Do these not work? |

Time to dump FF and back it IE. NOT. |

Point the cursor at the top entry in the drop down list, don't click, just point and the entry will be highlighted. Nest press and hold the DEL key till they are all deleted. Takes a second or two for a long list. Something must be broken in this version. Used to work. |
Here's some more info on v3
