Firefox Community Forum

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!

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.

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?

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.

All of a sudden while using Firefox I am not able to access my history. I can normally click on the three horizontal bars at the top right, but that isn't working anymore.

I am asking for this to be FIXED!!! I have ALWAYS had "Delete browser history opon close" set. However, now this latest update DISREGARDS MY SETTING and KEEPS my browser's history (shows in history tab now) ! I am OUTRAGED and ready to end my use of Firefox! So many of the recent updates IGNORE HOW and WHY we use Firefox.

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
