Pam: Ah, if only it were! *History* I get by clicking on the cat icon with the clock, and the history menu drops down on the *left* side of the screen. You can see where this one is, and I get this menu by clicking on the thing like double parentheses next to the star in the address window. Besides, as I said, I have had History turned off for a long time and that side bar is empty. The items in this menu happen to be mostly things I have only visited once or twice and are by no means representative of my browsing history. If they were, it might be of some use. Owbist: Thanks. I wasn't looking for speed or accessibility. I just don't like having something whose method of working and management I don't know. It bothers me! It even bothers me that I don't know its name, so I am hampered in looking for a solution. Linesman: Your message just came in. That seemed to do the trick, and I was thinking Yippee! But, alas, the sites didn't stay deleted. They disappeared when I highlighted them and clicked Delete, but the minute I clicked on the "parentheses" mark that brings up that menu, there they all were again. Closing and reopening FF didn't make a speck of difference. I have found that clicking on the star in the URL window adds a new site. So half of the mystery is solved, but the half that most interests me is the deleting part! LOL I think I'm going to have to uninstall and reinstall FF, but even that may not help.

Jasdip, on Chrome you can do that. Click the "wrench" options button, then under Basics, On startup, select Reopen the pages that were open last. Opera allows this too. I can't understand why more people don't just use Opera. They're really missing out. I just updated to v4 of Firefox. Looks to me like they're trying to make it Internet Explorer Jr. Firefox's biggest problem is you need to add about 20 extensions to make it a practical browser and give it some basic features that are standard on other browsers. However there are a few cool extensions, or "add-ons" as they want to call them now but Chrome is rapidly getting them. I can't believe it's taken them this long for Firefox to finally make paste-and-go a part of the browser. Talk about behind the times. (Sigh) There is a control for the tabs so the last ones open will open upon restart. Session Manager allows you to do this. It took a while to go through all the add-ons to find which one. And with v4, many of the add-ons aren't compatible so it'll take a while to catch up. Another of Firefox's shortcomings. But for certain things it's an acceptable browser. But for use, Chrome has overtaken it for my use. And now the Firefox lovers are going to jump all over this! LOL

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me, Richard. I have been trying your suggestions, but is -> the same as >? I've been trying various combinations of space, dash, and >, but am not familiar with the combination of a dash and >. Anyway, I did finally figure out that Pale Moon has not disabled Scrapbook. But all its contents are still missing, no matter what I do. At some point, I also got to Scrapbook in my FF profile, but then nothing inside it led to a solution. The best I could do was to choose the browser to open an .rdf file, which resulted--depending on what I clicked on--in messages: (1) "This XML file (Huh? I thought it was RDF.) does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below" and some meaningless repetitions of RDF and "urn:scrapbook:root" that took me to a very confusing list of unhelpful things when I clicked on it, and (2) an extremely long list of items in a blue font, some of which bore a resemblance to things that might have been in Scrapbook, while others did not, all smashed together with no organization and impossible to use. I suppose this was for the same reason mentioned in (1), that there was no style information associated with it. I am considering that "last resort." I'm tempted to go ahead with sys restore immediately, but as it happens, the only restore point is 9/12, which was well before PM was installed, so to be polite, I will wait to see if anyone on the Pale Moon forum (where I have posted about this problem) offers a solution. Somehow, I despair of success in this case, and I'll probably have to give up on the lost Scrapbook entries and then decide whether or not all the trouble and confusion are worth sticking with Pale Moon. The way it and Firefox seem to be communicating and changing things in each other behind the scenes might drive me crazy. I've never come across anything like that before.

I had megga troubles with IE on my Win 7 computer all of last week. Finally installed Firefox and everything seems to be working better. I'm afraid that old computer might be telling me something. I need to get my computer cousin down here. There are 4 computers in this house. Why do I worry they will all go down at once? I would rather clean the toilet and the oven than get a new computer and operating system. My computers are networked and I save things on each of them especially for back up. I used to use synctoy but I won't any more. It doesn't work like it used to and creates more problems than it fixes so I just save to each computer from which ever one I'm working on. That way I have it 3 times for sure. I've been having download failure at familysearch today. Is it me or is it them?
