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 Random months and in those months, no days, no dates makes Firefox outdated.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.

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

In Firefox, reopening the app pre-loads all the last-visited tabs, while Chromium opens a blank sreen and I have a button at the top right of the screen which allows me to select whichever of the last few sessions' tabs I want to have loaded. This is definitely more convenient, as I might be working on different things at different times and need different sites for that purpose. Can we learn from Chromium and make something similar? I think the best would be a combination of both, where Firefox preloads the last visit's tabs like it currently does, but remembering the previous sessions and with the button at the top right to allow picking one of them.

What do you think? And if that is going to take too long to implement, how could I program it for myself? Bear in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it won't be something that I will be able to do today or tomorrow, but I would like to hear some directions. And of course, it would be better if the developers like the idea and make it so for everybody :)

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! ^^

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.

Typically, I have about 6 windows open at a time with about 20 tabs in each window. Previously, I was able to shut down my computer and all of them would reopen again. But, today is the second day in a row that that hasn't worked even though I have Open Previous Tabs & Windows checked off in the settings.

I would appreciate figuring this out as it's a pain in the ass opening everything again.


  • I just noticed that Firefox is supposed to open automatically. This doesn't happen either.

I'm using a LG laptop running Windows 11.

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.

Darryl
