Firefox Community Forum

All of my history except of today's has disappeared. I did not erase my history, and really need it back. I did try to remove a couple of sites from my Most Visited, as Firefox was saving all sorts of sites I don't really visit often. In addition, I am being asked to sign in with my password at every site I go to where as before I was automatically allowed to enter, as all my passwords are saved. What happened - and how can I get back to normal?

Contributor note: bookmarks are also missing (/questions/1578816).

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.

This morning I installed Firefox version 150 on Windows 11. Since then, the address bar does not auto-complete for websites I have previously visited. It also doesn't show any history in the search bar, only the history for my phone (see screenshot). I have also included a screenshot of the address bar settings.
