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 |

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

It's been my experience that if you go to the FF forum and explain your problem some one will come along and supply an add-on or it will be fixed in the next version. There is a plug in for making the address menu act like the V2 menu, I think it's called "old menu" or soemthing like that. HTH. Thanks. |

Both said it can't be cleared in the new version of Firefox. ??????? Eisboch Tools, options, privacy has options for history retention (set to zero) and clearing private data when exiting firefox. Do these not work? Nope. This is Firefox version 3.0.1 I just updated to it yesterday. The URL location box remains no matter what I do to clear it. Eisboch Same version I updated to a couple weeks ago. Are you using Vista? I'm using XP, although I wouldn't think that would make any difference. Under 'Privacy', I've got options for History, Cookies, and Private Data. Under Private Data, I've got options for always clearing when closing and ask me first. I've also got a settings section which allows me to chose from eight different types of 'Private Data'. Something screwy here. Using XP. Same deal, but are you *sure* it is clearing your URL field location memory? Eisboch Yup. I just tried it. I selected, "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox". I then closed it. When I reopened the only thing in History was the page that had opened, my home page. I have Firefox 3.01, and the clear will clear my history, but I had the same problem Eisboch had, it would not clear the address bar of the history. Then I realized the address bar was not saving my history, but was showing me my favorites. I just took me a while to figure out what Eisboch was talking about. It's simply further proof of what a totally inept assholish idiot I am when it comes to computers. (Or, to save Harry the trouble, anything else in life.) I'm surprised neither of our two 'experts', jimaitch or aitch kaye, didn't jump in to help Eisboch. I am glad you realized you don't know anything about anything. it is important to understand your limitations. ;) On a serious note, you do seem to have your priorities correct as far as your family and wife. I do want to know how you ended up with such a good looking wife and family. Your wife's gene's must have all been dominate. ;) |

Eisboch Same version I updated to a couple weeks ago. Are you using Vista? I'm using XP, although I wouldn't think that would make any difference. Under 'Privacy', I've got options for History, Cookies, and Private Data. Under Private Data, I've got options for always clearing when closing and ask me first. I've also got a settings section which allows me to chose from eight different types of 'Private Data'. Something screwy here. Using XP. Same deal, but are you *sure* it is clearing your URL field location memory? Eisboch Yup. I just tried it. I selected, "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox". I then closed it. When I reopened the only thing in History was the page that had opened, my home page. I have Firefox 3.01, and the clear will clear my history, but I had the same problem Eisboch had, it would not clear the address bar of the history. Then I realized the address bar was not saving my history, but was showing me my favorites. I just took me a while to figure out what Eisboch was talking about. It's simply further proof of what a totally inept assholish idiot I am when it comes to computers. (Or, to save Harry the trouble, anything else in life.) I'm surprised neither of our two 'experts', jimaitch or aitch kaye, didn't jump in to help Eisboch. I am glad you realized you don't know anything about anything. it is important to understand your limitations. ;) On a serious note, you do seem to have your priorities correct as far as your family and wife. I do want to know how you ended up with such a good looking wife and family. Your wife's gene's must have all been dominate. ;) Or the daddy was some else! Well you were in the army and spent a lot of time away. On the positive side, you can say she had good taste in men. Can you two take this flirting to a motel somewhere. We'd like to keep this a family newsgroup. Well Donnie, your buddy Harry keeps referring to cowardly pussies, and you say not a word. What does that make you? Get it? Eh? |
