I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Is there a way to create something comparable to a bookmarklet (as described in /questions/956384) for browsing history and if so, how?

Also, would any of the history be lost (as mentioned by John99 in connection with /questions/956552)?

Thank you!

when i do a search, a menu of websites appear. click on one, then exit and it changed colour ( indicating i've checked it out). now it doesn't do it. why? how do i change it back?

I'm trying to find a certain site that i visited a few days ago because it had the name of a song on it that I'm looking for. I know I've found places I've visited today, yesterday, in the past week, month, year, etc. in the past... but I can't remember how to get there. Can someone please send detailed steps with screenshots so I know where to look? Thanks, Karen

I just find out that I can't clear the history on my mac pro. I try several times nothing is working. I don't want the history continue in the computer. So please tell me what I can do, otherwise I will hesitate to use Firefox again. Thanks!

There was a site I was on back in April and May of the year 2014 and I need it now but don't remember it so I was going to look in my history but it wont let me go back that far, is there a way.

Hello My history will not show up anything but for today. I have checked my privacy and general and those type settings and it is showing to keep my history not to delete it when firefox shuts down. When my library is open it will not show anything but today either. Please help. Thank You, Lois Webb

the libery in my firefox doesn`t work.if i type. par. the word. word. then the word nice.then teh word, word is gone in history where all the words etc, still belong to stand. then only the word nice was left there.

I can't imagine my life using another browser, but I'm beginning to think Firefox wants me to do so. I don't know what to do anymore, I've tried everything. Every now and then I was using Firefox and it demanded me to update so it would start again, and, when it did, it came back without the "restore previous session" option. That was really nervewracking, but at least I had the Session Manager app, so I didn't give much of a damn. But now they both stopped working. Why is this happening? This is a serious pain in the arse, I've been dealing with it for some time, but now I can't take it anymore. Enough is enough.

Hello! I have a very urgent issue! Sometime during the past few weeks (which also closely coincides with the new firefox update) my google search history has dissapeared! Wiped clean. As I noticed in the patch updated that something connected with it has been change, I'm wondering could it be the reason for my problem and can I somehow resolve it? Please help, it is a very burning issue!

When I click on the history option I do not get a drop down menu that allows me to chose a week, a month or a day. I shows only one day. How can I get like a full month of history to show?

Not in private mode. Settings say to remember all history. Everything else seems okay.

My places.sqlite file has places.sqlite.corrupt just under it in my second profile's folder. I tried renaming the corrupt file as just places.sqlite (calling the first places.sqlite something else) and restarting as suggested but the history still won't show up, and when I check the folder, places.sqlite is once again places.sqlite.corrupt (with a places.sqlite file just above it.)

Is there a way to somehow get Quantum to read my old history?

When opening a page from history list sorted by last visited, the opened page (naturally) jumps to top of the list. But so does the list selection, as it stays on the item, and probably because of this, the list view gets reset to top. This is annoying if you want to open more than one page, and must scroll several screenfuls down to reach them.

None of the other sorting methods help either. For example, sort by date just groups the list by date, and sorts alphabetically (!) inside each day. The only chronological sorting method is by last visited, and the position where interesting pages are, is lost every time one is opened.

Is there a way to stop the history view from resetting? It does not reset when opening a bookmark, following links on webpages or using direct URLs.

My Firefox only saves the history for a few days and I don't know why. That are about 300 sites. Probably the longest it saves are the last 7 days. When I go to about:config and type "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages" it gives me a value about 60000. So why won't Firefox save up to 60000 sites of history then? I am currently on Firefox ESR.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, I've started noticing that I've to re-search a website which ff should know since half a year. Today I retried it and I can confirm that for example https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.2/chrono/ never shows up in my history, in fact it's unknown, no matter how much I browse to that site. In fact I've right now the website open and the history doesn't show anything about it. I'm not on privacy mode. I only let ff clear my cookie & search history on exit. I have other websites which appear in the history. Another example: I've youtube open right now and it's not showing up. 59.0.2 Ubuntu Edition
