    I want that when I click the drop down arrow on the browser bar I get all the regular websites I typed in and visit. That they shouldn’t disappear each time.

    Do you know how I do it?

    It use to be like that but now I just get one website listed (ususally the last thing I typed in) and then History.

    Firefox: Click on the Firefox button, click on Options –> Privacy –> Location Bar, set to desired option.

    Chrome: Dunno. You probably should just switch to Firefox.

    IE: Definitely switch to Firefox.

    1) Which browser?

    2) Did someone clear the browsing history?

    #841850

    icot, no. I mean the internet bar at the top of the page, which you type in an address. It only lists History and all the regular websites which I go to , and which I reguarily type in there disappear from session to session. it use to be that they would always be visible. I think it has to do with cookies no?

    You probably have your history set to clear after every session. Do you have Firefox?

    Always – Why not just bookmark the pages you always use, and keep the bookmarks on the top of your browser?

    #841853

    always runs with scissors fast-

    Please click the link below:

    The page will say “You are using:” followed by your browser’s information.

    Please post that information here so people can suggest how to adjust your settings.

    I find Chrome confusing, for all its prettiness. But to each his own. 🙂

    Hey don’t listen to her, I use Chrome and I love it.

    Chrome is great for bookmarks. If you bookmark anything with a favicon (that little icon that shows up next to the site name – on YWN it’s that gray ball with a white zigzag through it that’s supposed to say ywn) you can make the favicon stay on the top of your browser without any words to clutter up the space. Just bookmark it and then right-click it and hit edit and delete the words. This way you can have forty pretty, little, easy to use bookmarks on top of your page. For some reason I haven’t found this available on any other browser, though perhaps things are different since the last time I experimented.

    Chrome beats e/t hands down over IE, FF, and saphari. I have all 4 on my laptop and use chrome 99% of the time. The only downside to chrome is it does not have Microsoft silverlight. So I use FF instead for that site.

    You have a mac, right?

    #841864

    yeah, all you guys are going on and raving about google chrome, but my original problem is not beign addressed. How can I make any thing I type into my browser bar stay?

    By the way, do you really iron with spray starch? ‘Cause I tried that once and it was gross.

    Try this – Click on the wrench on the top right corner; click Options; click Under the Hood; by Privacy, click Content Settings; and click the top one.

    yentingyenta –

    I only asked because Wikipedia seemed to say that Silverlight works with Chrome on every version of Windows except 2000, just not with Macs.

    #841870

    Try clicking the wrench on the right of the browser bar. Click Options, then Under the Hood. One of the boxes under Privacy says “Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar”. Make sure its box is checked.

    Oh yeah that sounds much more accurate than my idea. Whoops.

    Hhhhmmm. Thought silverlight was the issue cuz the site doesn’t work unless it’s the newest version of silverlight in FF. so what do saphari and chrome have in common that the site doesnt work? The site is atitesting.com and the biggest pain around. I can get the home screen in saphari and chrome but logging in it tells me to go to ie or FF.

    That’s not her problem, though. That just will give her the top searches starting with whatever she typed in. She wants it to autofill from her history. I think her problem is that her history is somehow set to wipe after every session.

    Yentingyenta – No clue. I just tried that site from my browser and it comes up perfectly.

    OneOfMany – If I’m not mistaken Chrome doesn’t have that option (some people don’t like that), unless she is specifically opening an ‘incognito window’ (shift+ctrl+n).

    #841875

    OneOfMany,

    According to what I read on Chrome’s help forum, there’s no such setting (users were complaining about that), unless she’s using “incognito”.

    Home page comes up perfectly but when I try to log in I get the message to switch browsers to ie or FF. Its ok. It could be worse. Like only working in ie on every second wednesday at 11:30 pm. Thank gosh for FF

    Then what’s happening on her browser makes no sense.

    Nu nu. No one ever died from a kasha. It’s not a reason to be kofer in Chrome.

    #841879

    daasyochid, I am clicking the wrench and not getting anything about “under the hood” as you mentioned.And i totally am not getting anything about URL’s.

    I just want that I should be able to type in a few wesites and they remain there until moshiach. along with any new ones I add to it.

    #841880

    always, you have to click options after you click the wrench. then you’ll see “under the hood” on the left side.

    I can’t really tell the difference in speeds, though…maybe I’ll try it on a slower connection.

    #841888

    Does that make me a da’as yochid?

    And am I one of many who prefer Chrome?

    Hey just because your line may have been better doesn’t mean Firefox is.

    You wanna know what I found out today? Google Chrome is also an OS. Go figure…

    #841893

    always runs with scissors fast-

    Back to your original question…

    I don’t know the answer, but my best guess is that your favorite websites came up when you started typing a URL because they were in “history”, and then someone cleared the history.

    Per Google’s FAQ’s, history, bookmarked sites and Google searches are all used in attempting to finish what you begin typing in the address bar – here’s the link:

    http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95440

    I’d suggest trying a “clean start” by deleting all history, then going to your favorite sites one by one.

    After going to a few of your faves, try typing the first few characters of the first address or two you went to and see if Google completes it the way you want.

    ===============================

    Re: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. IE – I prefer Chrome because it seems to be the fastest to load on my older PC.

    I can live with any of the three, though – they’re all fine.
