I suddenly can't view my "older than 6 months" history in Firefox! Only shows up to April 2020. How do I view my old search history?
I suddenly can't view my old search history in Firefox. I have been using this Macbook Air for the past 4 years for SO many things. I can view my Bookmarks from years ago though. I want to look up something from my search history but the old "older than 6 months" tab under the "View History" tab, is gone!!! Help!!!!!!

Saving your entire history permanently would take a lot of space on your computer. Firefox will keep history items for a maximum of 180 days or up to 40000 history items. If you go over that limit, Firefox starts to remove old history items. Other browsers have similar limits.
Also, some cleaning programs that can be downloaded will also remove old history items from your computer to save space.
If there are no items in the "Old than 6 months" folder in your history, that information likely isn't saved anymore.
