Why won't my internet history stop deleting itself when I close the browser?
Despite my repeated going into Options > Privacy and telling it to remember my history, Firefox continues to wipe my browsing history clean every single time I close out of the browser. It seems to remember my cookies and logins just fine, but for some reason it refuses to retain my browsing history - which is annoying, given that having access to it would by and large make browsing the net faster and make sure I remember some things. Any advice? Thank you in advance.

History and cookies can be removed or not recorded several ways;
- 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
- 2) Privacy settings; (Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar.)
- 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
- 4) Mal-ware.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing cookies will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
