Why can't I see my history? I have it enabled in privacy settings.

When I check history it only shows me the 3 most recent pages. What if I want to see a page I visited yesterday? Guess I'm out of luck. I have looked at the preferences and have checked the use tracking button. Also checked location bar history bookmarks and open tabs. It says under history that it will remember my history.

In the history side bar it shows me the last three websites. If I look at history from the menu it is blank.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
