Thus when "Remember history" is unselected, no search and form history is recorded (or maybe for 0 days). I guess you can call this poor FF UI design.<br />The plugin is not at fault here.Stephan Mahieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161390175023991419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721898026723435209.post-30363784165413621652010-10-07T04:19:49.286+02:002010-10-07T04:19:49.286+02:00Yes I have tried a few permutations of settings ov...Yes I have tried a few permutations of settings over the last few weeks and determined that "Remember browsing history" must be selected. Is this a bug in Firefox (or poor UI design) or a plugin bug? After all, having "Remember history" unselected does not grey out the other options. In fact, I have "Remember History" off, but "Remember downloads" and "Remember search and form history" are both on. Downloads are remembered but form entries are forgotten. Why is this behavior different? Browser fault or plugin fault?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721898026723435209.post-64594065719113673322010-09-17T18:46:38.105+02:002010-09-17T18:46:38.105+02:00Ah.

Under the Privacy-tab you can find History settings. Could it be that you are using custom settings and the no. of days remembered is set to 1(one)?<br /><br />Which other add-ons are you using? Perhaps there is a conflict with another add-on using the formhistory database at the same time.Stephan Mahieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161390175023991419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721898026723435209.post-18132146120623799542010-09-09T12:27:14.473+02:002010-09-09T12:27:14.473+02:00I am using Firefox 3.6.9 and Form History Control ...I am using Firefox 3.6.9 and Form History Control 1.2.6. I am having a strange issue where entries older than about a day just get dropped. I have "Remember search and form history" checked and none of the auto cleanup options checked. My computer and browser have been on the whole time. Any ideas on possible causes? This is really frustrating because I upgraded from FF3.0 and 1.1.x version of FHC and saw my whole db there but after a day it was all GONE and lost!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721898026723435209.post-37992971307531065802010-08-22T18:11:45.927+02:002010-08-22T18:11:45.927+02:00This information is not stored by Firefox, but it ...This information is not stored by Firefox, but it perhaps can be deduced by comparing the date/time (first used/last used) against the history database.<br />I will try to incorporate this in a future version.Stephan Mahieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161390175023991419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6721898026723435209.post-28939330058409772722010-08-22T11:48:53.681+02:002010-08-22T11:48:53.681+02:00I'm wondering if you can see from which homepa...I'm wondering if you can see from which homepage the form history comes from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
