Firefox issues

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Firefox issues

Post by Impactor returns 2.0 » Tue Apr 12, 2005 4:45 pm

When I do a search in google it has the auto-complete drop down list appear of all my previous searchs.

Is there a way to empty/delete this list?

Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved Form Information

You can switch it off. Internet Explorer has much the same functionality—that bloody Auto Complete feature for forms...

Though interestingly, my Linux version of Firefox has those options under Edit > Preferences rather than Tools > Options and I'm pretty sure I'm running the latest version.

In Windows the dialogues and menus tend to follow IE rather than Netscape—or are you running the Mozilla Suite rather than Firefox?

Firefox, though I think I also have Mozilla installed.
