Hi all,

I have turned on all the privacy settings in Firefox 2, asking not to remember history and everything else, but under history the recently closed tabs still shows my visited sites, and also the address bar autocompletes from previous sites even if I don't keep track of the history.
Any idea/add on to resolve this?
Thanks.

little plugin called stealther might help

Do Gooder · 25-09-2007, 09:07

mudz · 25-09-2007, 09:30

You may need delete previously remembered items.

FF prefs > Privacy > Private Data > Clear Now...

Checkmark the Saved Form and Search History box and click on Clear Private Data Now.

Installed Stealther... now it seems that FF keep track of the history as well. Will tinker about with it a bit more and report back here.

if you meaning our website... cheers!

yup, yours

now stealther seems to work fine, thanks all.
but, is there any point in using Firefox over Safari, really?
Only thing I noticed is a slightly enhanced overall responsiveness, and the fact that when I watch porn the embedded wmv's and mpegs play smooth even if Firefox is not the active application

Safari is a bit crap. it falls on its arse after a few hours use which is a pain in the bum.

but i still use Safari as my main browser.. just so i can easily keep my bookmarks (all bookmarks for best porn sites of course) synced across my macs.

i use firefox for testing.. as it has some fantastic plug-ins.
