For some reason on android firefox I'm no longer able to pull up a tab's history by holding down the back button. I can still press to go back, but there's no way to either go back several pages or to go forward if I have already gone back.

Why is that ?

Press ( Ctrl+H ) on keyboard ...

Web browser based on Firefox Browser...

In addition to display webpage names ...

Why is the URL still be displayed ? rrr1.jpg

I just accidentally deleted a day of history, now it has to relearn a bunch of stuff.

Please add support for undo, so that if you do it by accident, you can reverse it.

I've been having this strange behaviour in Firefox Nightly on Android, where the "Delete browsing data on Quit" setting, whether it is ticked or not, automatically closes open tabs. This used to not be a thing, and I wish for some clarification if this was supposed to do this from the start or not.

My settings under the "Delete browsing data on quit", which is of course turned on: Ticked: Browsing data, Cached images and files, Downloads Unticked: Open tabs, Cookies and site data, Site permissions

Tabs get closed, otherwise works as on tin.

I updated my Firefox so when I went to start it again, all history had disappeared even though I was logged into my account. I've been using Firefox since it came out.

I use Firefox on my Mac. I visited a site yesterday that provided some who.is information. When I returned to the site today, the who.is information has been changed. I need to find the cached page from yesterday (if it still exists) to get the data BEFORE it was changed.

How can I do this?

Restore previous session, in history, is an important setting. It has now disappeared completely as an option even though restore windows and tabs is ticked. Need to go deeper than the superficial help .

Last week I went through the process of choosing a profile so I would not be faced with choosing whenever firefox opened. ( I was guided through the process by some of you elders.) My bookmarks are all in place but that history no longer accumulates, not even during the session I am in. I must have hit something without knowing it. I have gone up and down settings on several levels, but I can't figure out what will make this work again. It is helpful to have this reference so I would appreciate help.

The Android App won't allow me to find specific items from history (e.g. i wanna visit chatgpt.com, but all suggestions offer me chatandgo VENEZIA when typing chat) and delete them. There's no way I can scroll so much history just to find specific items to delete. Method for deleting all history or for last hour makes no sense. See the attachment. Thank you.

I'm used to use the sidebar history to open previous links for a variety of reasons. You used to be able to click or middle mouse click the links to open the tab in the current or a new tab. But it seem now i can only left click the links and it opens them in a new tab regardless. Right clicking only allows you to open the link in a new tab or a new (private) window.

Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

Thanks

I was working on my computer when I accidentally clicked out of my tab that had all my pinned windows on it. But then I accidentally started a new tab and deleted it. So now when I try to restore previous session it goes to the tab I just deleted and not the one with all my pins. Is there a way I can get all my pinned tabs back?

I use the Menu Bar and discovered that when I select History and then right click one of the entries it no longer shows the small window which allows you to Open in a New Tab etc.

If I use the 3 bar option on the right hand side to Open application menu, then select History, then right click an entry, the small window I mentioned above opens as it used to when using the Menu Bar.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue when using the Menu Bar and also when I use the application menu on the right.

I have been using the Menu Bar option for years now so I can only assume that this issue has arisen after a previous update.

I am currently running Firefox 140.0.4 and this issue is there even when I disabled all themes & extensions and when I ran Troubleshoot Mode!

Hopefully a simple fix will resolve this.

Hello.

My name is Connor, and this morning i fear i made a dreadful error. i was about to open my mozilla, with the session (tabs and windows from yesterday 08.04.2025. included). as i was launching my mozila it froze, so i closed it and ran it again. but when i did i lost everything i had up until yesterday. is there any way i ca get it Restored, or is it all gone forever?

P.S. i don't have a phone due to my physical dissabilities. so if possible please contact me via my email.

i apologize for the inconvenience

There is (IMHO) some missing functionality / unwanted feature or call it what you like (bug?).

History -> Manage History

select e.g. Last 7 days, right click on Name and select at least two attributes (you can choose from: Tags, Location,Most Recent Visit, Added and Last Modified)

Select the first entry of the list, all displayed fields are selected/highlighted.

Copy (either with the menu or with Ctrl-C) and paste it in your favourite text editor.

Why is only the URL copied? Other fields were also highlighted. Why are they not included?

This is WYSINWYG (what you see is not what you get).

It is possible to export bookmarks as an html file, so why is this not possible with history?

OK, it is possible to query the sqlite3 database directly to get some history info but it's a bit cumbersome.

To do so,

  copy the sqlite (places.sqlite) database to some safe place then open the database (with 'sqlite3 places.sqlite')
  get the history info you are interested in with a sqlite query,
  e.g. select title,visit_count,site_name,url,description,last_visit_date from moz_places where url like '%support%';

But there is no simple (AFAIK) way to convert 'last_visit_date' (an integer) to something human readable.

So either include the whole selection when something is copied (WYSIWYG) or provide export history as an html file.

ps: why is there on option 'other' in the list of 'topics' ? pps: I already posted this comment but it got lost somehow

w11 on laptop. Cleaned PC using CCleaner. Restarted windows. Launched Firefox and only 1 tab with calendar opened. Went to History but no indication of the previous session available. ?
