Do you support Windows 10?

I've been trying to change the Privacy screen to "Use custom setting for history." The instructions say close the "about:Preferences", but it doesn't say how. The only way I know to close the page is to delete the "Options" tab, but that doesn't work because when I go back in to check it, that setting says "Remember history". I know this is probably operator error, but I can't find instructions to close the page.

hi dondiegoflores, yes firefox is fully supporting windows 10 - and you are right that closing "about:preferences" is just refering to closing the tab that houses the options panel.

please note that after switching to the "Use custom setting for history" preference in the privacy panel, you'll have to actually change any of the custom preferences that show up under that - if you don't do so it means you are still using the default settings (=remember history)...
