Firefox Guru Needed!

#1

Post by Charles L. Cotton »

Okay folks, I need help with Firefox. I really like the feature that shows a bunch of tiles/links of recently visited websites when you open a new tab. I had to clear the cache (several times) to get my desktop to finally point to the new server for TexasCHLforum.com. Actually, I tried a lot of things like setting it not to save history, deleted everything, then it finally found our new server.

Unfortunately, now I've lost my handy little tiles showing recently visited website, even though I set it to remember history. Does anyone know how I can make it work again?

Thanks,
Chas.

can you see a little 9 dot on the right upper corner of the white page? If so click on it and you get back your last visited site previews.

That did it. It toggled the feature off, then back one and the last pages visited appeared.

Thanks,

That's a great tip.

Thanks,

You can sometimes avoid having to flush the cache when you need it to point to a new URL location by right clicking on the tab, selecting Reload Tab.
