Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

For years I have clicked on the clear history, clear data and manage data on the settings page in privacy and security--directly after leaving every website, just to be sure...now nothing is happening when I click on them. FF is up to date and nothing is different (that I know of).

Please help. Thank you.

I am still running Win 7 Pro with Firefox 115.29.0esr.

In COLORS I have set the Unvisited links to Green and Visited links to Red. USE SYSTEM COLORS and UNDERLINE LINKS are both checked. OVERRIDE COLORS is set to Always.

The problem: The color change to Red for Visited links is no longer retained after closing Firefox. The fact that a link has been visited is lost.

Is this a bug, a setting problem, or is it simply because I've running obsolete versions?

Thank you in advance!

Firefox is not deleting search history when using Clear Recent History. The URLs still appear in the Show All History.

In Settings under Privacy and Security, the box is ticked for Delete cookies and site data, and also for Clear history when Firefox closes. I have manually cleared cookies and site data and history within Settings, but the it still remains under History even when I've closed Firefox and restarted the PC.

Under Sync, the box for History is not ticked.

This has been happening for some time without me realising. I have now deleted pages.sqlite and this has cleared the history, but it still retains all new site data under History and will not clear it.

I have disabled then uninstalled anti-virus, I have removed CCleaner because this was also not deleting history.

And I've also reinstalled Firefox, but the problem persists.

What am I doing wrong please?

I am using Windows 11.

Hello, after I have cleanes the chronic, an empty tap and an unknown page apears in der chronic all the time (syscsrv.com/vhtrs...). What can I do?

Many Thanks

I have clear search history when browser is closed checked, and it still has a months worth of history and I have closed and reopened the browser countless times, why doesn't the history clear?

I have a desktop PC with Windows 11 and Firefox 144.0 (64-bit).

In Firefox, when I click the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner of the page, and click on "History", no sites are shown.

How do I get Firefox to keep the history of the sites I visit?

I have a desktop PC with Windows 11 and Firefox 144.0 (64-bit).

In Firefox, when I click the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner of the page, and click on "History", "Recent History" shows 9 sites.

When I click on "Manage History": "Today" contains 1 name "Yesterday" contains the same name "Last 7 days" contains 9 names

In the search box, when I type about:preferences#privacy and press enter.

Under "History", "Firefox will" shows "Remember history"

How do I get Firefox to keep the history of the sites I visited?

When I close a tab, and try to find it in the recently closed tabs in the history, some i just closed, and without opening even a few others, they do not show up in the recently closed tabs list, while some I closed the day before are in there even when I filter to "Today" and that after" using Firefox for less than an hour and only had.

For one I think Today doesn't do that but rather the last 24 hours or similar.

It actually has been a problem for a very long time.

I can find most of them in the "Show all History", but that defeats the purpose of the recently closed tabs option.

I am using 143.0.4 (64-bit) AKA archlinux - 1.0, on Arch Linux I update every few days.

In my case today it was a Duck Duck Go search results page.

I recently got a new computer running W11. As always, the first thing I did was download Firefox and set it to my default browser. Then I logged in and synced. Firefox picked up some things - like my passwords, but not a single instance of history, not a single bookmark, or the tiles of frequent websites seen on the new tab page. Thinking something had gone wrong, I uninstalled FF and then reinstalled it. No change. As I was researching what to do when FF syncing fails, I realized that FF is not saving any data in history. NONE. I fiddled around with this situation for about five hours and it showed NO history of websites/pages visited. I went to a few common websites by name, typing www.ebay.com into the search bar (for example) and since that was a website I had now "frequented" I expected it to show up as a tile in the new tab page, but it didn't, even after closing it and opening it several more times to demonstrate (to FF) its frequent-ness.

What could be causing all this? I assume some settings in about:config are off, but can't find any information searching the web. No matter how I state the question, I only get responses like what to do if FF doesn't sync, NOT what to do if FF doesn't collect any history. Honestly, this is a standalone private home computer. It doesn't actually HAVE to sync with work. But it's not very useful to have a browser that collects NO history.

Sorry this is so long, and may I say, any help will be seriously appreciated.

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!
