Home / Misc / Computer troubles / DISABLE THE FIREFOX HISTORY

System

WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS, PREMIUM, AND ULTIMATE WITH MOZILLA FIREFOX 3.0.1
 

Problem

EVEN YOU HAVE DISABLED ALL THE HISTORY FUNCTIONS ("Keep my history for at leas 0 days") FIREFOX SEEM TO REMEMBER YOUR HISTORY ANYWAY.
 

Solution

ACTUALLY THIS IS NOT A BUG, IT IS A FEATURE. THIS THING WHAT MAKES YOU GO CRAZY IS CALLED "AWESOME BAR". YOU CAN TURN IT OFF BY DOING THIS:

  1. TYPE "about:config" IN THE ADDRESS FIELD AND CLICK THROUGH THE WARNING MESSAGE.
  2. SCROLL DOWN TO "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults"
  3. THIS SETS HOW MANY URLS THE AWESOME BAR WILL DISPLAY. TURN IT TO 0

IT WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMIDIATELY. ALL DONE.
