I'm not sure I fully understand your situation. First, to clarify about history vs. tracking: * Mozilla doesn't track you, but your browser normally records history as you browse. This is managed by history settings, not tracking settings. * In private windows, history is not recorded regularly and is lost when you close all private windows. * The "Do Not Track" feature sends a signal to sites that you prefer not to be tracked, and it's up to them to decide. * The "Tracking Protection" feature blocks some page content from loading if it is on a list of known tracking sites. ---- ''MRTU [[#question-1115400|said]]'' <blockquote> I have my history and privacy setting set and when i left click on the arrow at the top of the tool bar my browsing history pops up... </blockquote> Could you tell me your setting on the Options page, Privacy panel? Either: * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options * type or paste '''about:preferences''' in the address bar and press Enter In the left column, click Privacy. Do you have one of these? * Firefox will: Never remember history, or * Firefox will: Use custom settings for history ** Remember my browsing and download history is NOT CHECKED ---- Which arrow are you clicking? For example: * Triangle in the address bar * "Back" button (right-click to view tab history) * Something else ---- <blockquote> when i bring up the delete history bars.... the form and search bar won't let me put a check in the box to delete it all the others do..... if i high light it will that delete it ?</blockquote> Is this in the "Clear Recent History" dialog or a different dialog? See: [[Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox]]. Hmm, I see it's grayed out in that article, too, but mine is not grayed out. I wonder why the difference?
