Hi dungate2014, You wouldn't happen to be in permanent Private Browsing Mode ?
Go to: Menu -> Options -> Privacy & Security under History uncheck the *Always use private browsing mode
`Hi
I don't have that option
Under History I have ,
Remember History (selected) Never Remember History Custom Settings for History
and
Clear History
Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.
Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.
Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes" ? If that is the case then what items have a tick?
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
