Aurora clears download history automatically on exit even though I've told it not to.
Aurora automatically clears my download history on exit regardless of my settings or modifications in about:config. I've tried disabling all plugins and extensions, launching in safe mode, and reseting all settings with no luck. The problem appears to only exist with Aurora as the stable release retains download information properly.

Goto -> Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> History -> Select " use custom setting for History" -> unselect the " Clear History when Nightly Closes"
Are you using separate Profiles for each version of Firefox / Aurora installed?
The option to clear history on exit has always been unchecked. In AppData, both Local and Roaming profile instances have the same code to them.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
