Firefox Community Forum

firefox used to have good history now it's only 7 days? i need to see more than 7 days, all of it being available is ideal. what prompted this - although i've been irked by it before - is needing to know how i got to a website, what was the search and/or tab spelunking that got me there? it's really important to know this. relying solely on google search (if that'll yield part of the trail) seems contrary to firefox ethos.

It's not showing recent activity - only blank grey boxes. And its not showing my things saved in pocket at all even though I've selected in settings to show it.

Im using version - 135.0 (aarch64) - it says its up to date.

Even though my settings in Firefox are set to restore open tabs when restarting, and Firefox is my default browser, I was unable to restore my open tabs when my Firefox browser just closed on me. I went up to the menu > History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs and nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks for your help!

by jump to specific history, I mean something like search in library > bookmark and right-click on specific link then "show in folder"

it would be very helpful if something equivalent of "show in folder" exists in the context of history search, I often search specific site and wondering what else sites I opened around that time (relative to specific site I found on search results)

if there's any workaround or alternatives, please leave a comment! ^^

Years ago i had an issue with this useless browser. I had the setting to start where i was left of, so the taps should reopen as they were but every time it was starting from the beginning also with different windows than what i choose from settings. i have deleted the browser and now i have downloaded it again but i face the same issue. You cannot talk with a real agent so this is the worst browser ever. I am only try to use it because i have to, otherwise i would NEVER EVER use it again after all this issues. As i cannot get help from Firefox as they don't even have support team... Can anyone please help me with that. Thank you

No search history is covered in the settings. Used to be able to be able to check HISTORY in settings but it always is empty. Something must have changed with the updates cause this has been going on for several months now. Appears you've done away with the History feature. Can find no help in your settings concerning how to restore history. This was a useful feature and Im swiching to Google which I despise but at least they still offer this feature I like.

Hello, I've been using Firefox as my main browser for work for a while and I've always been happy with it. However, a recent update (which happened a few days ago) seems to have messed up the UI when it comes to homepage shortcuts. They became much smaller and narrower, while the font seemingly became larger. Now only a few letters fit in the descriptions of every shortcut, which makes it frustratingly difficult to identify them. Please fix this! I've included a screenshot of what my homepage looks now at 100% zoom and with minimum font size 9 selected. There's so much unused space to the sides, while the shortcuts text gets cut after only a few symbols. Increasing the zoom doesn't help.

I knew I shouldn't have did the 133 install.... I did a hard start up and wouldn't you know it, all my tabs are gone.... Gone where? And Why? Searching says that I should go to "session store-backups folder"

why in the hell should anyone have to go anywhere to do there own repair when the new updates should be working.....

There use to be within SETTINGS a click/link to restore previous tabs...Who's responsible for dropping that? I'm using 135 Version, and I knew I shouldn't have done the update, damn....I've got enough problems with Win 10 and Office and I don't need this aggravation.... Anyone who how to resolve this problem, and if so thanks!

I have always used the option to restore previous tabs on startup. This stopped working a few days ago. After digging into it a bit I discovered that using the ctrl+shfit+q command is the only way to shut down firefox and get my previous session restored after.

I have changed no settings and afaik nothing else has changed. This is wildly inconvenient when just the other day I could close it however I wished and come back the next day to all of my tabs without having to dig it out of the history of closed windows.

Why has this changed and is there any way to restore the previous functionality?

Customization:

I want to change the Microsoft desktop icons on shortcuts to a number of internet URLs. Unlike with other shortcuts, this is not possible with Firefox. Too many of the same icon are confusing. Seems to me it would be a simple and useful option.

Hello Mozilla,

I am about to trash Firefox ... an app that I have used for years, but in the past few weeks it has become an item of frustration.

I have the lastest version which in itself works great but recently cannot remember settings from session to session. I have reviewed comments on the subject but cannot find a solution.

Help please ... or it will be trashed within the week.
