Sessions and history are not saved

I have Firefox installed on multiple devices and most/all of them don't keep sessions or browsing history

I noticed that these files are updated while browser is open and get deleted once browser is closed:

  • sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4
  • sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4

No other files are related to sessions

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" checked

Installations:

  • Windows 10
  • Debian 12
  • Debian 13 (Firefox 148.0 Snap)

On Firefox for Android, this issue doesn't happen, I can even see the whole browsing history including history lost on PC installations

It seems I had history set to clear on exit, even though I didn't enable it
