Cannot clear cookies, etc because there is no OK, or Execute button and can't scroll down the list.

In the Privacy and Security section of Options, when I click clear all current history, the Clear All History dialog box appears and the only thing that works is the drop-down list to change the period from Everything, to Today only, etc. There is no submit button such as 'OK', 'Submit', etc and it is impossible to scroll to the bottom of the type list of items to clear.

Under the Cached Web Content section, not sure if the 'Clear Now' button is doing anything because it results in a screen flash with not confirmation.

Under the Site Data section, wouldn't this be a part of the Cached Web Content? Does it work?

Thank you very much for a wonderful free product. I will support with contributions. (takes too long to attached pics of the Options dialog box)

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 28.0.0.161

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only> +++++++++++++++++++ See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

There should be a Cancel and Clear Now button at the bottom of the window.

Does the same happen if you use the "Clear Recent History" item in the history menu (Library button on toolbar or Library item in "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list)?

  • Library -> History or History menu
    you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily
