Arman, Thank you very much. I stumbled around Preferences looking for a box to uncheck when I spotted an arrow within a box to change choice from never remember history which got me out of Private Browsing Always. I am new to all this and was unsure if my question had gone out. Hope this reply reaches you as I appreciate you taking the time to help as all has returned to my prior settings. Jim
