    • Hey Guys,

      I just wanted to know if anyone had come across this issue I've had with FF3 since...well forever really.

      Every so often, maybe once a week, it seems that all my saved forms are cleared which is quite annoying. These are the saved entries in the address bar as well as for website form dropdowns i.e. on searches.

      Not sure if its a setting somewhere but I'd rather it not suddenly erase all my data at will, gradually maybe but not in bulk.

      Or, is it just me who is suffering lol :)

    • I've actually disabled the Web Dev Tool as it could be a cause as it has the option to delete private data and I have a habit of hitting random keyboard commands and causing havoc :)

      Also another question which is related specifically to Mac Firefox. In every other application, when you hit Cmd + ?, it activates the help menu, i.e. the dropdown menu in which you can search for items. In Firefox, it loads the help page which I don't want. Anyone aware of a quick way to disable that? I shall google for it later on but just incase anyway knew off hand.

    • James... can you post a link to your problem? ;D ;D ;D ;D sorry couldn't resist

      I had the same problem re web forms clearing. Thought it was something to do with Tools/Options/Privacy/CLear my private data when I exit FF but it didn't explain the timing... then i realised it was Norton 360 running a scheduled clean up.

      Just my own experience
      Cheers mate

    • How odd, I don't have Norton or any other scheduled clean up which is rather odd.

      Anyway, another one of those random Firefox oddities.

    • browser cache setting wiping form entries? don't know

      have you looked in about:config ? There's so much stuff there that I've never even looked at, maybe it's one of those. Not really helpful, but maybe you can figure it out. Don't have my mac here at the moment :/
