• 43 Firefox no longer uses my browsing history to offer my sites frequently visited in the URL bar. Do I have to use a search engine?

  I just downloaded firefox 43. In the past, I was able to visit many of my favorite sites by typing just a few of the first words. For example, by typing the letters "sl" firefox would immediately suggest slashdot.org and I could just press the right key and type entry. But it seems the update for firefox 43 wiped out this functionality (or worse, my browsing history). Is it possible to restore the old behavior? Really sucks. I don't want to type the name of the whole of the site each time...

  Thank you

• Delete my browsing history to older Firefox?

  Hello

  I'm just curious to know what is happening with my browsing history in Firefox. I have authorized in March and then has not used the Internet again until mid-April. Since then, I have not allowed once. At present, all of April - June seems to have disappeared, and June is the starting point of which my story currently trails on so far, August.

  I'm the only one with access to this machine, and I don't have a pretty good memory to remember if I did or not not clear history, I did not. Firefox hides history after a certain period of time? Or could thing go? I wouldn't know that I my story at my ease, if I can go back and check if I need to find some old information/references.

  I would appreciate a response to this, that the Internet doesn't seem to know a lot about this specific problem.

  The current versions of Firefox keep a maximum number of page visited and have no limitation in time for the story.
  Firefox automatically determines the number of pages can be kept without affecting performance.

  You can see the current value of the maximum value of the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the topic: config page.

• Why isn't my browser history appear?

  I have my browser set to remember my story, but when I go to the sidebar to look at the browser history, nothing shows up! Also, when I close a tab (for example a tab of this site), and I'm going to the 'recently closed tabs' option under the 'history' section, the Mozilla icon appears on the tab I have just closed. I hope you understand what I mean. Help, please!

  In respect of the history Manager, do you mean the "history" menu drop-down, then the option "show all history"? If so, then when I click on "show all history" a lot of the history of my browser from today is still missing. I also went to my Firefox profile, looked "places.sqlite" files, & décliqués the thing 'read only '. That seemed to fix one of the other problems I had where I could not remove one of my favorites (the "delete" option was did not highlight. However, I think that this particular issue is corrected now. I just wish I could understand how to restore the rest of my browser history I had 3 months ago. Thanks for the help though.

• I updated FF to 38.0.1 and now I now I have no Favorites, browsing history or addons. How can we get EVERYTHING?

  I was updating my software and addons, everything was good.

  I downloaded the FF 38.0.1 Mozilla update and restarted FF and then everything was gone.

  My bookmarks, history, addons and passwords, all missing. I can connect to google and reinstall my addons, but how do I restore my bookmarks and browsing history?

  Thanks in advance for your help guys.

  Hi, it could be a good idea to try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  If this does not help, you can try this for the restoration of the bookmarks: open bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.

  Or please see-

  • Profiles of boards - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
  • Recovery of data from an old profile.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• I can't keep my history of browser for more than two days. Is there a way to set the amount of time my browser history is saved?

  At one point he recorded for the month, but I did sort of a security update and now my history is deleted like every two days. Is it possible to set up the number of days or months or something, while Firefox keeps my browsing history for a longer period of time? (I have 8.1 of Windows and 37.0.2 Firefox if that helps with anything.)

  Maybe the feature is removed in newer versions. But there is an add-on that allows you to set your preferred dates custom to make FF clear your history and other data. Give him a look at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/precise-clear-history/

  Thank you

• Deleting the browser history help please.

  On my home computer that only I use, I was recommended to automatically delete my browsing history when I finish a Firefox session. This is where any malicious web site tries to access my computer. I have as much as the box 'Settings for historic compensation' and have a few questions.
  I will be definitely uncheck the box cookies because I don't want these deleted. What effect will have it on my computer and my future use if I uncheck and what follows: browsing history, download history, form and search, the connections active and hide?

  Sorry to ask so many questions but I really need your help, please.

  Thank you, Anthony

  Delete cookies will cause sites to lose some information about you.
  Cookies are often used to record your logged in status and so deleting cookies can connect out of the sessions on a website. Deleting cookies can also mean that you must identify you again on sites that use cookies to remember you connected initially and want to stay connected or to be connected automatically to a later session

  You can use Firefox to store the connection information in the Manager password, possibly protected by a master password, these are not cookies and remain after deletion of cookies

• How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and deforested browsing history, is still any chance to get it there?

  Accidentally closed down the pc and firefox did not return with option restore previous session in the first screen even in history-Restory previous session is gray. My settings are own history after closing firefox.
  Y at - it no change to return on my tabs from previous session even browsing history has been cleaned? I'd appreciate your help!

  In general, FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarting after a stoppage.

  1 kill Shutdown
  This occurs when the FireFox process ends with a TerminateProcess() appeal or if the process of FireFox crashes. It's a dirty, no cleaning is done. When restarting after this FireFox will show a dialog "well, this is embarrassing' with options to restore the items selected from the previous session.

  2 force Shutdown
  This occurs when another process ask FireFox to shut down cleanly (for example, a reboot of the PC) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask confirmation of the user. Normally, when this type of shutdown happens, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set automatically delete the history on shutdown, it may not. I suspect that this is your case. I would suggest to the FF team remove that history should be ignored in this case, only a stop of the user must delete the history.

  3 judgment of the user.
  That's when said user Firefox close (by selecting exit or by closing all the tabs etc...). Confirmation is requested to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). When the computer reboots, nothing is restored.

  Unfortunately, if you have enabled clear auto history, there is no way to recover the previous session. I'm sorry.

• I deleted my browsing history and all my favorites have been removed as well, I don't know what happened and I can't seem to find them?

  I went through my computer to clear the history, what I have done before and ALL my favorites have disappeared. I can't seem to find anyway and I want to know if/how to get back them.

  What method did you use to remove your browsing history?

  Firefox instant guard of your bookmarks over time so that you can restore to an earlier date. You can try the procedure of recovery described in this article and see if Firefox lists all earlier dates you can choose: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  Are they available?

• I had to reinstall Windows. How can I find/see my browsing history?

  Firefox constantly broke when he visited the sites (and Pale Moon, but not Chrome/Opera), so I took the decision to re - install Windows to a State of charge. Of course, I can now use Firefox again, but all my browsing history is passed. All the old Windows files and variables were stored in a Windows.old folder, but I can't yet find the story. Is it possible to re - install the story or at least see?

  I know details that are stored in the places.sqlite file, which I have found, but I am at a loss of what to do next.

  You can find the old profile in the folder windows.old and that switch to your new profile of recovery of data from an old profile

  Since you have re-installed, it's a good time to make sure that you configure your computer to run solidly in the future:

  • Install a Windows Update (including service packs, recommended updates, etc.). Run it a few times to make sure that you get all updates.
  • Update your plugins https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
  • Install the latest graphics driver, update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
  • Updated Firefox (version you are using is obsolete) Update Firefox to the latest version
  • Make sure that you install an anti-virus, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials, http://windows.microsoft.com/windows/security-essentials-download

• How to prevent users to clear their browsing history?

  We use Firefox in our office. I want to implement browsers so that users cannot delete their browsing history. I can't find information on it. Thanks in advance!

  It is not really possible (and if that were the case, there are solutions). You are better off creating the content monitoring and logging to your router or your firewall (which I hope you have). Just make sure that doing so does not violate the laws in your area.

• Firefox does not delete browsing history in the address bar

  No matter what you with Firefox in clearing the browser history by going to the history-> delete history, recent and all delete or reset FF by accessing information from troubleshooting, Firefox does not browsing history. The Web site you have traveled still appear in the address bar.

  Several people have already complained about this (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the response from the staff of Firefox is that it is be a malware. That's not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in own computers Windows and Mac with Firefox, do the same thing, or rather not do what it is supposed to do: clean browsing history.

  How dangerous is that. Where your privacy? Firefox must find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they do it on purpose because it has not been fixed after him complains.
