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!

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?

All of my history except of today's has disappeared. I did not erase my history, and really need it back. I did try to remove a couple of sites from my Most Visited, as Firefox was saving all sorts of sites I don't really visit often. In addition, I am being asked to sign in with my password at every site I go to where as before I was automatically allowed to enter, as all my passwords are saved. What happened - and how can I get back to normal?

Contributor note: bookmarks are also missing (/questions/1578816).

up until this latest version you could delete your search history with a simple right click. This option no longer exists and there is no easily found way to delete "Search History" where did it go? will it be returned? is Search History no longer delete able?

Hello,

Usually both of my previously closed windows reopen without issue, but the data for both of them disappeared this time when I clicked on a zoom link after closing them. The link opened, but they didn't. I did the basic troubleshooting like checking my entire history (under "managed history") and looking in settings as well as following the instructions I found here at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1407584, but everything's gone. It's like they never existed in the first place. Has anyone else had this issue?

Also, about a couple of months ago, Firefox started forgetting my accounts and logging me out of them once I closed the window/the tabs reloaded. Not sure if this is due to my computer's own storage (RAM) or an update-related issue - I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Any insight on either or both of these is greatly appreciated!

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.

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!

a couple of months ago FF suddenly stopped reopening the last session and instead opens always the same from a specific date. performance has been poor to the point that I can barely browse FB anymore. cleaning temp files didn't help. what's the best way to go about it? is there a way to export the history before doing a refresh or new profile? thanks
