Hi, a few weeks ago i added a Firefox delete history app/add on that was offered on screen under the Google search bar , the button went onto my taskbar and resembled the reload button logo , when clicked the dropdown list gave 3 options ...clear last hour..clear last 2 hours ..clear all , after selecting and clearing a box then came on for you to click " thanks" , i have deleted it in error but cannot find it again in apps.etc. I know i can delete history by other means but this method was the easiest , can any of you help me to get it back please ? Thanks.

I use AOl mail , but after reading any e-mails then leaving the page , when i return to AOl mail it asks me to login again although i have clicked " remember me" .

you're very welcome rob :))

i'm not sure about aol, but when you're on the login page please try to right-click on a blank spot, go to view page info and then permissions. in there make sure that cookies are allowed & do the same on the page of your mail inbox.
