I started using the new sidebar, but now when I type in the History search field, it doesn't recognize anything, even the most recent pages that are listed when I bring up History. I type any letter of the alphabet, and I get "No results for 'x'".

If I click on the three horizontal bars that say, "Open application menu", when I hover over it, I can click on History and then Search history, which puts my cursor in the address bar, and it brings up anything I type in just fine. How do I fix the sidebar?

I found some information about deleting closed tabs from Firefox.

Please allow users to select a date or date range instead of a maximum number of tabs and windows. Computers often restart, for instance when installing updates, and some sessions will include more tabs than others.

Thanks in advance!

Recently found one way to delete closed tab/window record: set both to zero.

Please allow users to select a timeframe as well. People may have to restart a computer while in private mode, and a set number of tabs/windows cannot cover all possible situations.

Thanks!

I have the setting that reopens all my Firefox Windows and tabs when I close out of Firefox on, but I had to close them using the task manager to update some software, and it only reopened part of the Windows I had open! Can't you guys come up with a history option where you can see and select windows that were recently closed that clients can select and reopen from a menu when you can't select restore previous session? I mean, Chrome has that feature!

Automatically deleting sites from History

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to bring up my concern. So, I apologize in advance if it's not.

I volunteer with a domestic violence organization. The group's website (180NJ.org) has a "panic button" function where a DV victim could bail out instantly if their abuser confronts them. When you hit the "Safety Exit" button, it changes the page to weather.com and Google comes up in a new tab. This is so an abuser can't see what the victim was looking at, for the victim's safety. When using Chrome and Edge, the DV site is removed from the History. When using Firefox, it is not removed from the History. I've brought this to the attention of the organization's IT people and was told that this is probably due to differences in the browsers themselves.

I'm not an IT person myself and have no idea what's involved in all of this. But, I just wanted to bring it to your attention, in case it's something you can work out. Thank you.

Remove on specific page from history

Hi !

From the history on Firefox in Android, I can remove a page from it by clicking on the little cross (cf first image). But this cross disappear when I'm trying to access to a specific page from the search bar... (cf second image). Is there a way I could remove some specific page from the history ?

The reason I'd like to do that is because when I want to access to a website present in the history, Firefox auto-fills by another website from it, which is not the one I'm interested in (and as I won't never go back on this second website, the simple way it to remove it from history !)

History search does not return any results even though my history is being tracked

When I open the history menu and search for any term, even a term that should return a bunch of results such as; http, google, search, results, <any keyword that I just searched> no results are EVER found. My history menu shows over a year of browsing data, but when I go to search it the search always returns NOTHING. It doesn't matter what I search in the history menu search bar, I always get no results. Yes, my history is being recorded, whenever I visit a site it is immediately visible in the history menu.

Stuff I already tried: Restarting firefox (duh!) Rebooting my computer Uninstalling my extensions Trying it in Privacy Mode Help>More Troublshooting information>Places Database>Verifty Integrity showed that my DB was "sane"

However, when I create a new profile and browse a few sites and search then the history search bar does work (in that profile). Based on that I think the issue is profile specific, but I didn't change any settings in my profile that I can think of. Any ideas what could be going on?

I noticed that some sites are showing up twice in the history when you go to history and look at the sites you've most recently been to. At first I assumed it was happening just with Youtube, but I have noticed it with other sites as well. This started happening a day or so ago. I recently updated to version 150.0.3, and I have no idea why it's happening. At first I thought it might be because I was signed into sync, but this hadn't happened on previous versions of Firefox and I've been signed into Sync for almost a year now and never saw this occur in that time. I even tried signing out of sync to see if that fixed the issue. it did not. I vaguely remember something like this happening on a much older version of the browser, but I dunno if you guys ever had a fix for it or not. I'm including a screenshot of the phenomenon for the sake of visual reference.
