latest ios on macbook pro and latest firefox.

Data is gone then :/

Delete recent history was a bit misleading for me as a title but ok, now I know it doesnt actually mean that as you have to select all, last hour etc... When I saw "all" I thought it meant all the recent data as everything in my list was crossed.. but hey my bad.

Thanks for the support I will add those extensions.

What is your computer system and Firefox?

The only backup that Firefox makes on its own is the Bookmarks Folder. Please give details on what an when you want to clean out.


These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backups of files that you choose.
