When I opened my Firefox browser my browsing history suddenly vanished. I noticed this when I saw that my recent activity was empty in my new tab I just opened. My bookmarks and tabs is still here. This glitch has happened twice now! Why does this glitch keep happening and Is there anyway I can get my browsing history back?

Every time I try to add a search engine (the one I’m trying now is “wiki.pokemoncentral.it”) Firefox on my 6th generation iPad with iPadOS 15.6 (latest version) crashes, and it does that even with my iPhone Xr. I don’t know what to do, I think it’s a bug or something like that. Please Mozilla, if there isn’t any solution I can do, fix it.

I have just within the last day noticed when I visit one particular news type site that it constantly and consistently redirects me to a spam site telling me my phone is being ransomed or some such nonsense. I have tried incognito mode, I have cleared all personal data and cache and uninstalled Firefox then restarted phone then reinstalled and it keeps happening. I’ve noticed it once in a while with random other sites but it never stuck around this one seems more pervasive. I haven’t installed any new apps recently? I have no idea what to do but am concerned of course something is going on. Please help if you can! Thank you very much

My History tab is missing whole website I had been on that day. History is only missing JUST that one site. Why?

Hello, Earlier today I had logged into a site for an appointment. I was on the appointment for over an hour. I click out of the site tab, and then about 10 minutes later, I realize I need to send a message.

I log back in and start a message that would include various links from other sites per the discussion just had. It is somewhat of a tedious process jumping back and forth from the message to then find the link to cut-n-paste into what you're typing.

So, I'm there about an hour. I'm almost kind of done, and on one of my hopping from one link to then put in the message, I accidentally - I guess- push the Firefox refresh that clicks out of my message and the Firefox page pops up as if I'm starting a new screen.

I then proceed to go back the website I was on, only to find the message was not saved in the "Drafts" folder though it saves as you type as its function. Annoyed, I figure I'll just go to site history to just get to what was hopefully saved since I was there an hour already.

That is when I noticed that the website i had just been on for over an hour WASN'T in my History search for the listings under the "Today"; I was on just moments before.

I was wondering if maybe my accidental 'refresh' push mistake somehow wiped out that 2nd session of the message writing time? So, i decide to scroll below all these links that I had gone to FOR the message IN this particular site, and try to see maybe I missed this website because I had a lot of links i was double checking.

And that's when I find that NONE of the 2 times I was on this particular is listed AT ALL. Not even the one from my appointment, with the first login. I somehow only see the troubleshooting new attempts of me getting into the site after the fact, and all the other links.

How is it possible that just ONE site is wiped from the History search? Literally every other link I had been to that day before, in between, and after those 2 loggins are in the History, but not the one site I need? I need to know what I did wrong--and if a person can wipe out just a selected item from their Firefox History, that's convenient for criminals.

So, I'm reaching out because I don't see this situation happening in other community Q & A. And although what I was working on for an hour is just gone, and it is what it is, I feel like it is super bazaar how one site alone is missing from your History Search, when that is the whole point of the history search function, and want to avoid this happening to me again, and is this a glitch that is forensically needing to be addressed on a larger front.

Firefox has been my default browser, but when I click on a link in an email newsletter, for example, often I get to the Firefox homepage instead of the link. I have to click a second time to get the linked page itself. When I search with Firefox and click on a link, I may get there, but if I try to go back to the search page, the page crashes and I'm taken to the Firefox home page. I fear I will lose my saved passwords if I uninstall and reinstall--is there any alternative?
