Why is my address bar no longer retaining past sites that I have visited?
My address bar used to save frequently used web addresses in a dropdown menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the very right of the address bar. Without warning, it now only retains the addresses I visit during a specific session. At the end of each session, the Dropdown memory is wiped clean. Why did this happen and how do I repair this huge inconvenience???

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History" -> REMOVE Checkmark from Permanent Private Browsing mode -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies under Keep Until : select They Expire
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> If you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.

mha007: The steps mentioned above are the default firefox settings. I have the same settings and still the address bar is not retaining the previously browsed sites. This problem has started after upgrading to 6.0.2 I am currently on Windows 7 Starter for my netbook

-> Do you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner ??
- IF Yes, then DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox History & Settings.
Check and tell if its working.

FF in safe mode also has the same problem.
Also, I don't use any privacy cleanup softwares on my computer
Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Also make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.
