After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

I use Firefox on my Mac. I visited a site yesterday that provided some who.is information. When I returned to the site today, the who.is information has been changed. I need to find the cached page from yesterday (if it still exists) to get the data BEFORE it was changed.

How can I do this?

I use the Menu Bar and discovered that when I select History and then right click one of the entries it no longer shows the small window which allows you to Open in a New Tab etc.

If I use the 3 bar option on the right hand side to Open application menu, then select History, then right click an entry, the small window I mentioned above opens as it used to when using the Menu Bar.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue when using the Menu Bar and also when I use the application menu on the right.

I have been using the Menu Bar option for years now so I can only assume that this issue has arisen after a previous update.

I am currently running Firefox 140.0.4 and this issue is there even when I disabled all themes & extensions and when I ran Troubleshoot Mode!

Hopefully a simple fix will resolve this.

'Browsing history: which one do I use and how can I browse TOTALLY private? I want the instructions of hot to do that if you have a way to do that.. thanks for your time

To preface, I'll probably die using Firefox but there are some things that are so annoying that it does. Browsing history being one of them. I swear the browser history UI is stuck in 2003. The way it sorts your browsing history and displays them doesn't make any $!@#ing sense. Chrome's history view is 1000x better and it follows common sense. Chromes will show you the day and time you visited a site in chronological order and it will preserve that. Firefox shows it in a half assed way, it won't tell you the time you visited the site and in some views it will just move that site around in your history when you click on it which is so annoying.

Firefox by default needs to have a nofrills history tab that opens up instead of a sidebar, in that history tab it should display your chronological order of sites you've just visited with the time and date. That should be preserved.

Anyone else feel this pain?

Is there an open Mozilla feedback item about overhauling the history UI? It seems way over due.

All of a sudden while using Firefox I am not able to access my history. I can normally click on the three horizontal bars at the top right, but that isn't working anymore.
