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!

few days ago, i was trying to remove unimportant entries from the browsing history section. i discovered that my delete button wasn't working and no entry was being deleted, not even when i was trying to remove using the mouse right side button. at first, i thought the delete button of the keyboard has become faulty. but i found that it was working fine in other apps or parts of the Windows OS. so i tried again removing the entries but couldn't do it. then i closed the firefox browser and reopened it. to my horror, i found that all entries before November in the firefox history section have just disappeared. nothing is there. i felt very much shocked and sad because there were lots of important entries which i have stored for almost two years. now i don't know how to restore my lost history entries. just because of some errors in the firefox program, i have lost my long saved entries. please suggest me how to restore it.

History, shortcuts and recent history gone and no longer being collected

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

I got a notification from Firefox to update the browser. Which is fine. But, when I tried to go to History to delete the downloads and previous months history. It will not allow me to delete the months history. It does nothing.

I hope you have a resolution for this issue. Thanks.

History drop down-Restore Previous Session MENU OPTION AND Recently Closed Windows MENU OPTION tab choice ARE DARK!!! Not active!!! Why? (If they are there to be seen they should always be active for use)

I use these ALL THE TIME!! Where is that function??? Why is MY history from yesterday NOT there for me?? I need it right now!

My life is busy and stressful enough without Firefox or Apple or Microsoft adding to it!!!

btw am waiting full 5+ min for a simple screenshot to "upload" to Firefox help below so I can hit send on this?? Still see the word "uploading" - are you finished yet Firefox?

There is a session with 15 important tabs. Previously, all 15 tabs were restored when closing and then opening.

But now, when closing and opening, the following happens: 1) The first time you click on Mozilla startup, nothing opens.Clicking again opens the home page.And everything. 2)When you click on launch, the home page opens.And everything.


In both cases, pressing Ctrl+Shift+t restores the previous session with 15 tabs.

The error appeared unexpectedly.There were no critical sorties.Mozilla's version is the latest.Tell me how to fix it.

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.

My firefox is not recalling the history as I move through tabs. It doesn't appear in the sidebar or in the documented history. This only has happened recently, and it's still recognizing my bookmarks. I've done some troubleshooting, tried relaunching in the mode while switching through tabs, but it's still not recalling. Any help is appreciated.

When we are getting dates and time in history like Chrome? Random months and in those months, no days, no dates makes Firefox outdated.

Is Firefox not growing or everything needs to be highlighted? I have never highlighted anything to chrome yet it has done things that are worth it.
