For some reason my browser occasionally jumps over to a private browsing tab and I may never realize Firefox has performed this action. I may continue with my research for any length of time when I may need to look at something other than my browser, say jump over to a Note or some other function not having to do with Firefox, when I return I find maybe an hour of research has automatically been closed and of course there is no record of that lost work. This function is really frustrating additionally it's tricky that a link to another site or page of information can cause the Firefox Browser to open the following tab in Private Mode, then automatically close when it becomes necessary to look at some other functions on my Android device, everything is wiped out gone lost no way to retrieve the info.

What ever happened to Lazarus, the app that always brought back lost work, private or otherwise? That was an excellent and very helpful tool. Is there some other way unknown to me where I can retrieve those closed private tabs, how do I stop the links from auto-opening privately, and I'd like to know how to stop private tabs from closing when I leave those tabs to focus on something other for a split second.

Please advise. Thank you.

cleared browser history and cookies, history is empty but when i search in it is shows some websites that persist https://imgur.com/a/H8nBmEk and the website shows in autocomplete search suggestions (I know I can technically disable history suggestions in settings but I want them, they are useful)obviously what I showed in the video is pretty much not harmful but I also have this problem with an adult site which can be annoying when someone uses your phone to search stuff. so, any way to fix that problem? currently checked that on 166.0a1 nightly, also latest beta probably also a problem in regular Firefox

I have tried erasing my browser history, cookies, etc. from the history tab and also from inside settings. However, the history is still intact. Looking for some help, I think it may be a bug. Thanks

Hello I recently opened up Firefox Android and realized the entirety of my previous session was gone. Is there any way to restore this? Does Firefox Android also have some cached history that can be pulled out?

In the last month, microst as had an update and firefox as also had a update. since then when I click clear recent history it takes out all my passwords in all my speed dial

Like the title says, just looking for an option in settings to delete all data on close for the IOS version. If there is not an option, what is the possibility of getting one in a future release? Thanks for any helpful responses.

I have no idea if it's even possible, but on Desktop I can sort my history in the order I've visited them, from the latest being on top to the ones visited a long time ago towards the bottom (and this should really be the default method for sorting history).

How can I achieve this on Firefox Nightly for Android?

When I opened my Firefox browser my browsing history suddenly vanished. I noticed this when I saw that my recent activity was empty in my new tab I just opened. My bookmarks and tabs is still here. This glitch has happened twice now! Why does this glitch keep happening and Is there anyway I can get my browsing history back?
