How to enable never remember hsitory?
Am I missing something? FF 22 with XP SP3. I thought my privacy option was set to never remember history before I played around a bit. I think I'm correct with that but am not really sure. I believe I changed it to custom, and then tried to return to never remember history, but the setting will not take, after a re-start of either FF and/or the OS. I am able to select "always use private browsing mode" within the custom setting. Is it that I was wrong, and in FF 22, never remember history is not a viable option, and it wasn't selected in the first place? Thanks.

May be your Preferences file corrupted
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See "Creating a profile":

Thanks very much for your help and I'll try your suggestion within the next few days, and post a reply if it worked. So it sounds like "never remember history" was what I previously had for an an option.
Also, I have a Norton Ghost 9 Image of my hard-drive that I made within the last week, and before I played with changing FF 22 settings. I have the ability to restore/replace all individual files on my C drive , so if FF preferences is a discrete file, then I can replace what I have now with the older version in the Ghost back-up. Hopefully dates of files will not cause a problem. If FF preferences is a discrete file, would you know where it's located in XP SP3? If not, I'll look into that also. Thank you again.
I used my Norton Ghost 9 program of a C drive image that I made a few days ago to restore the FF 22 "Profiles" folder. That fixed the problem. Thank you for your help.
