Herr Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Forget all my visited URLs when I try to type them in and have it autocomplete. This is really annoying. It's happened over several versions and reinstalls. I'm using the latest one now. Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? Yes I have looked in the options panes.

Herr Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yes I have looked in the options panes. As I said I have already checked the options. It has been set to 99 days all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Can you rephrase that? It's a bit hard to understand. The feature works fine for about a month, then decides to forget all visited URLs all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just... auto complete doesn't work :-? I don't know how FireFox works, but my problem got solved by wiping my cache... Might work in FF, might not :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjbj1991 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 i think that when firefox updates itself it clears the favorites list and history because everytime i updated it on my computer i did it i recamend creating a webpage with all ur favorites listed that is wut i did because i could not find anyway to stop it from doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 i think that when firefox updates itself it clears the favorites list and history because everytime i updated it on my computer i did it i recamend creating a webpage with all ur favorites listed that is wut i did because i could not find anyway to stop it from doing it So you created a new profile and now you blame Firefox for it? Good point, mate. Herr: sounds like a bug. I've looked all over the place for 'normal' explanations, but 'this is a bug' is what's left, I think. You may want to search https://bugzilla.mozilla.org for this. Product: Firefox, Component: Autocomplete would seem like the place where this should be hiding.

Herr Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thanks Hannibal, I am looking. And to the other guy I have not updated firefox recently, it's not related to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
