Firefox Community Forum

I use a website often where the links on any given page change colour if I have previously visited that page referenced by that link. This was an easy way for me to keep track of which pages I have accessed before. In the past, Firefox would retain this information so that I could see where I had been even if I last visited the site several years in the past. At present, if I visited the site more than 6 months ago, I can no longer see it. How can I change the settings so that my browsing history is retained indefinitely?.

I have backups of the AppData profile folders which I'm hoping that I can restore once the setting is changed so that I can once again see my history on this website.

If I have 800mg to 1tb of browsing data it can sometimes take up to two minutes for the system to calculate and clear the data. Is this just for my system? Can you find a way to accomplish this faster? Thanks.

I have Firefox latest version (153.0.1 (64-bit)) running in Windows. Both are newly installed.

Usually, if I type a new URL firefox "remembers it" and when I type it the second time, it shows in the address bar.

But now it does not. Any ideas?

Ich verwende die neueste Version von Firefox. Ständig klickt es und jeder Schritt wird auf der Festplatte gespeichert. Das sind schnell über 100 Dateien. Was ich eventuell wirklich speichern will, ist dann schwer zu finden. Kann man dieses ständige speichern von jedem Einzelschritt unterbinden und wenn JA - WIE?

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?

Firefox claims does NOT save site/URL visit information while in Private Mode. And I thought that was true. However, I just discovered that Firefox DOES SAVE Private Mode URL/Site visits - in this specific place. I don't know how long the history will be saved - it looks like at least as long as the Window is open. I want to keep most of my open Private Tabs open - but want to Delete/Clear the ones I'm done with. I thought/understood that Private window/tab/visit info was not tracked/saved - and it's not saved in History, or Searchable. But it appears that this doesn't apply to the Recently Closed Tabs MenuItem. And there seems to be NO 'delete' or 'clear' option for this field. I can't find any reference to the subject in the Forum or Articles. The picture I've attached is NOT of the Recently Closed Tabs while in Private Browsing, but is the same MenuItem and field contents. Thanks for your interest. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to delete/clear this specific history.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.

2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.

I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

I reported an issue with Firefox 143.0.2 where History would not stay deleted. Same problem as reported by Bojan Nesic 5days ago. It looks like the bug is fixed/closed. (Sorry- this is first time I've reported a bug). I updated to 143.0.3 but bug remains. Is there another update? Thanks

required platform is MacOS. In order to file a support ticket with a organization I need to send them browsing history. Sending the entire history is unacceptable. I need to be able to search Firefox history for their URLs, narrow those by date, and export just the relevant data.

I have only seen an extension to export the entire history. I need this to be a fast operation not requiring installing sqlite3 or manually editing very large html or other files.

If there is not an extension capable of doing this, then it needs to be added as a core enhancement.

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
