FF v3.6.11 update questions

I've just updated FF to v3.6.11

Before when i clicked on Clear Recent History



it just did it as per my settings in the following screenie

Now this pops up and i have to click on Clear Now ?



Is there a way to return it to the previous preferred bahaviour ? Also why would that item be greyed out ?

I don't want FF showing ANY history or recent, so what are the correct settings for these ?





Any other privacy tips would be very welcome too

TIA

 

If you're not sharing your computer with other people, you're just wasting your time. If you are, use Private Browsing.

 

For me the "From & Search History" is not grayed out. I do not know why it is grayed out for you. If you do not want Firefox to remember any history then disable this function permanently in Options>Privacy>History.

 

My "Form & Search History" checkbox is also greyed out, and has been for quite some time - certainly well before this rev11 update.

I have no idea why though, but it`s not just you seeing this

 

Ya for me neither.

Personally i never use porn mode, only NoScript + built-in cookie whitelisting.

 

@ Eice

I find Private Browsing is less convenient than the way i set it, as sometimes i need to enable cookies for a short time. Plus i don't like this "feature"



@ Raza0007

Have done already

@ Fad

That's a relief and see below

@ JRViejo

Thanks for the links I've discovered that the latest version FF seems to have removed the check box i was looking for ? that my previous version had that i could set it not to ask

How wierd, and not what i want I wonder why the've done that ?

@ fsr

My reasons for wanting no History etc etc are nothing to do with porn I also have NoScript maxed out

*

I've also noticed it is visably slower to load pages than before

I was hoping somone could advise me on the about:confing settings i highlighted earlier

 

@ JRViejo

Thanks

So the've removed that feature, and they think that's an improvement, well it's not
