Firefox Community Forum

Greetings,

I am having this issue since Firefox 155.0.1 or a bit earlier (but overall rather recently) and I still encounter it with 156.

When a web page has a web form that performs a POST request without changing the URL, the behavior seems to have changed. Let's assume I have done the following:

1. I navigated to an overview page (GET https://example.com/overview). 2. I clicked on a link to a page with a form (GET https://example.com/formpage). 3. I filled out and submitted the form (POST https://example.com/formpage).

Now, when I click the Back button,

• previously, I was returned to the page with the form (GET https://example.com/formpage)
• now, I am returned to the overview page (GET https://example.com/overview)

Can I somehow return to the previous behavior?

Thanks!

As recently as yesterday I was able to hit the CTRL+H keys to bring up my browsing history. That no longer works - now it looks like I need to open the menu then type in clear history which will up the clear history. CTRL+H was much easier - why add extra steps??????

If I have 800mg to 1tb of browsing data it can sometimes take up to two minutes for the system to calculate and clear the data. Is this just for my system? Can you find a way to accomplish this faster? Thanks.

I accidentally wiped out my customization of the firefox app. I do not want to save search history, websites visited after I close down firefox. How do I do this? I want to retain the short cuts to websites

Is there any way to bring back the previous version of history that's sorted by most visited?

Like, why bring over the other sorting methods but not this one?

I know there are people that are going to be "well, why don't you bookmark the sites that you keep going to"? Because I prefer it this way. My history is my "second bookmarks" list in a way since my normal bookmarks are bloated and cluttered enough as it is.

I used to be able to see my browsing history on a specific date until a recent update. Control H gives me browsing history, but even selecting "by date" or "by date and and site" doesn't give me the specific dates, only months, which is not what I need.

Hi I noticed that some old links in my history are automatically deleted. How to configure expiration rules (if possible) in order to keep links forever, until manual deletion? I know that links can be saved in the bookmarks, but when browsing the Internet, unless bookmarking everything :(, no one knows if a link can be useful in the future.

Thanks for your help

I use a website often where the links on any given page change colour if I have previously visited that page referenced by that link. This was an easy way for me to keep track of which pages I have accessed before. In the past, Firefox would retain this information so that I could see where I had been even if I last visited the site several years in the past. At present, if I visited the site more than 6 months ago, I can no longer see it. How can I change the settings so that my browsing history is retained indefinitely?.

I have backups of the AppData profile folders which I'm hoping that I can restore once the setting is changed so that I can once again see my history on this website.

required platform is MacOS. In order to file a support ticket with a organization I need to send them browsing history. Sending the entire history is unacceptable. I need to be able to search Firefox history for their URLs, narrow those by date, and export just the relevant data.

I have only seen an extension to export the entire history. I need this to be a fast operation not requiring installing sqlite3 or manually editing very large html or other files.

If there is not an extension capable of doing this, then it needs to be added as a core enhancement.
