Re: Tweaking for Fun/Speed - Fx v3 Series

Now that is an awesome tweak. Which brings up a few questions - I wonder if this eliminates this type of "history" from being stored somewhere in Fx? If not, can it be selectively scrubbed?

Under PRIVACY--> History: neither unticking "Keep My History...", nor ticking it, and setting it at "0 Days" killed off the "Awesome Bar's" (not quite as bad marketing panache as "From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor"...) display of history, and the ability to select which data entry areas of Forms and the Search Bar appear to now be conflated.

I know when I close Fx that my histories are cleared and the address bar history is always flushed.

I personally like the new Awesome Bar as it eliminates having the bookmark bar allowing for more screen space and it is so much faster going through my 1000+ bookmarks and history well surfing. YMMV

Hmmm, I will have to recheck then when I close Fx, which I do not do very often. I am pretty certain that prior to making your above posted ALT-C change, the Awesome Bar (umm, AB, sorry AB See Profile...), it retained some data, but I may be mistaken.

I can definitely see the gain of space as a positive, though with Compact Menu, Piro's Tree-Tabs on the left side (still experimenting with it's new Auto-hide feature), and Window's Toolbar on the right (always on Auto-Hide), on my "ancient" 18" CRT (17" usable), it's really horizontal space that is at a premium, here, at least. Plus, I do Tab-Group openings, which I don't think the new Bar will handle, though I haven't looked to try so, yet.

I know what you mean about having so many bookmarks. Which reminds me to do a dead and unwanted duplicate check, again, sometime soon!

I will give the AB a whirl again, at some point, as like you said, it has it's benefits!

That's the beauty of Fx, each user can customize it to a close approximation of how they would like it (which brings up an Extension that I recently saw for the first time, iMacros, but that is for another Thread...).
