Do you have a backup of places.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder?
If not then you can't restore lost history.
it shows on the thing open troubleshooting where it has containing folder that i have this many i think ? places.last_vacuum 1326330489 is that right? What is a url classifier cuz that had like 23.9 mb worth of stuff? lmao.. My place.sqlite has 18.1 mb in it? WOULD IT HAVE ALL of my history since i had firefox? I have a few store sessions but thats bc i havent looked at them alll lol :) i hope thats not the problem that i cant see all my history before january ..
Leave all files in the Firefox Profile Folder as they are unless there is a problem that requires to start with a fresh copy of a file and in such a case you can (re)move a file to make Firefox create a new copy.
The urlclassifier3.sqlite file is the phishing protection database.
There aren't any backups of Firefox files apart from the JSON bookmarks backups in the bookmarkbackups folder, so if you haven't created any yourself then you can't restore lost history.
umm I wouldnt have known how 2 do it as i trusted fire fox to not fail me? i never knew anything about back ups?? i have a picture of all my fire fox folders and items and i went back to when i fixed my computer in january? it seems like the same stuff? i can check later? when u reply.. but the picture there is now what it loooks like with my stuff still looks like its in january.

You can remove the sessionstore-##.js (JScript script files) with a number in the name.
The presence of such temp files with a number indicates that Firefox wasn't able to rename the temporary sessionstore file to sessionstore.js, probably because security software had a lock (handle) on that file.
Those i know about and i know i need them bc i do so much work even if i didnt see it for years lol but i was talking about my history is there any other file that can contain old history? Or is there nothing i can do? how about if i take it to one of those techy people? What is the cache stuff do? Cuz i have a ton can that have any info on the sites that i went to / the exact places i went?
