Hello,

I was trying to delete tabs on MacBook Pro on my history but it would let me delete them while they are still there including the ones on my bookmarks. Also I’d was wondering what happened to the privacy mode and could you guys reset the FireFox app so everything will be new.

Thanks From Al,

If you mean tabs in Recently Closed Tabs, I have never been able to remove them and that seems to be the correct behaviour.

You can open a private window OR, in Settings (Privacy & Security page), under the heading History, select Always use private browsing mode. Your add-ons won't work in that mode unless you have specifically enabled their use.

I would never 'reset' the application but, if you wish, there is an article. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
