I'm following Firefox Help for Windows XP on "clear cookies & cache." When I open Firefox & follow the Help steps (click on History, Tools, etc.) these aren't active links. I'm clicking on a Help display; no actions are executed. ???

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

Followed your advice, and was able to clear cookies & cache. Thanks

Thanks. I was not in private browsing mode. However, I was able to clear cache & cookies after following Firefox help a second time.
