More lines of history from Mac menu bar

I'm using Firefox 135.0 on a MacBook Pro with a large external monitor.

The menu bar at the top of the screen (NOT the Firefox window) has "Firefox, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Windows, Help".

When I click on "History", it shows me the most recent 15 pages I visited. Always 15. I'd like to increase that number, as 15 is inconveniently few and uses less than half my screen height. However, I can't find a preference for it either under "Settings" or in "about:config".

I know that there are at least two ways to get to a more extensive history list, but they need more clicks.

So is there a way to change 15 into a larger number?

Thanks. Brendan.

How to set the New Tab page to a local file? (autoconfig no longer works in v136.0)

Since the settings haven't given that option for years, the best way to have a local file as the new tab page was using autoconfig.cfg + autoconfig.js, as described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1251199 But since the most recent update (v136.0), this stopped working.

The New Tab Override add-on has its own issues with using local files (can only load a .html file, no local CSS/JS, can't give a blank address bar for me to search in), so it doesn't solve the issue either.

This is very important to me, and others have been asking for this feature back for years. It feels awful to have the working solution stop working, in the browser that's supposed to be open and customizable.

Hi guys. I rely on the browsing history to sort the content I read as backing material. But I can't save it to PC. The only feature provided in history windows is to backup the bookmark. Given that Firefox would clear the history automatically on a 60 days basis, I will appreciate it if you would tell me how to save the history. Moreover, how to import the history record for PC, if available, so that I can browse the information and re-visit the websites in Firefox.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.


2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.


I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.
