CCleaner and Firefox

Solved

W8.1, FF51.0.1 and the latest version of Ccleaner

Hello,

I have been using Ccleaner for a long time, with the standard settings. About once a month. And I am happy with it.

A little annoyance.
Windows keeps a history of recently opened files (for example; 1 Word history, 1 Excel history). Very handy.
When I run Ccleaner, these histories are deleted. They rebuild themselves with use. This takes time.
There is certainly a setting to position in Ccleaner's configuration. I looked at the Ccleaner tutorial prepared by CCM. Very comprehensive. But I can't find what I'm looking for.
Thank you for giving me advice.

Best regards.

    Hello,

    You must have some checkboxes to uncheck in the Cleaner/Applications section.

      Good evening Dorien*
      Thank you for your response.
      I agree with you. But which parameters should I uncheck?
      I read the CCM tutorial (in French) on one monitor and the parameters of my FF (in English) on another monitor. I couldn't find what I was looking for.
      I'm open to suggestions. Thank you

      Re,

      Well, as far as you're concerned, it's the History box (if present) that you need to uncheck).

      Hello Dorian

      Thank you for your advice

      I made 2 attempts:

      by unchecking the "history" parameter
      by unchecking the "recent documents" parameter

      Failure in both cases.

      Hi,

      Afterwards, I don't think there's a historical case for Office; if you uncheck the Office boxes, do you still have the issue?

      Otherwise, I don't know since I don't have Office on my PC.....

      Hello Dorian,
      I’m going to temporarily drop this and go back to my workaround solution.
      I’ve made a list of about 15 files that I definitely use.
      After each run of Ccleaner, I open them all; and I have peace until the next run of CC.
      It’s a bit annoying. But once a month is a long time. And it’s manageable.
      Thank you.
      See you.

    Good evening Ch,

    My work environment: Mainly W8.1, Thunderbird, Firefox, Office 2007.
    I see an OFFICE icon in the upper left corner of my FF window. By clicking on this icon, I have access to my historical files.

    In a word: I am happy with Ccleaner. But I am not happy when it deletes my historical files!!!

    Bye

      OK
      So in Ccleaner, in the Applications tab, there should be checkboxes regarding Firefox or Office, right!?

    Good evening

    So you say
    "A little annoyance.
    Windows keeps a history of recently opened files (for example; 1 Word history, 1 Excel history). Very handy.
    When I run Ccleaner, these histories are deleted. They regenerate with use. It takes time."

    It's annoying, it's handy!? :o/

    Rather than running Ccleaner once a month, you can do it every day; there's even an option to "Clean at PC startup." ^^

      Good evening Ch,
      Thank you
      But yes: the history of the last viewed files is very nice. I also don't want Ccleaner to delete them every time the software starts.
      What is the point of launching Ccleaner at every startup? (except to further slow down the PC's startup!!!). If you see a reason, let me know.
      Cheers

        Okay, but in that case, running Ccleaner once a month will definitely lead to it having more to delete, and therefore it takes longer. ^^
        But I still don't understand the title of the message "Ccleaner and Firefox"?
