It's Friday afternoon so I apologize as I've not bothered to look through every response... On a browser page: Tools|Clear Private Data (Ctrl-Shift-Del) Clear the following items now: o Browsing History o Location Bar History o Download History o Saved Form and Search History o Cache o Cookies o Offline Website Data o Saved Passwords o Authenticated Sessions 'Cancel' 'Clear Private Data Now' Edit|Preferences|Privacy & Security Private Data etc., etc. Does that not work for you? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
