Back in the day I was able to Click on History, Show All History and see the sites I had visited in the past. (I don't remember how far back I could go.) Lately I can only see Today. I am using Windows 8.1 with FF 37.0.2

History and cookies can be removed or not recorded several ways;

  • 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
  • 2) Privacy settings
    (Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar.)
  • 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
  • 4) Mal-ware.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:

  • do not clear the Browsing History

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
