I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I used to be able to hold the back button down so I could see a short history for the current tab, and I'm not sure if it was an update or a bug, but does anyone know if it's possible to enable it in about:config? It's really useful when you're trying to go back but a redirect is preventing you.

While using Firefox for Android, I'd like to see additional detail of my browsing history. Mainly a timestamp and length of time spent at each page. Currently, I can view these choices; Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days and Older. I can only assume these are listed chronologically in the order I visited each page. I'd like to know what time I arrived at the site and how long I was there, if at all possible.

Ik ga deze week een paar keer updaten en kijk of de instelling van geschiedenis en de bewaarfuncties van bezochte sites wijzigd. Daarna stuur ik een bericht. Groet, Jan

Is form history supposed to work on Android devices at all?

I am not able to make it work with any settings combination - meaning setting Firefox as "Autofill" service system wide, allowing additional permissions for Firefox (background autostart, display over other apps...).

Additionally, I could not find anywhere if this is supposed to be synced between desktop and android devices. But this does not work either (e.g. entry is visible on desktop but not visible on android afterwards).

I would really appreciate if searching in browser history would also have the same [X] button as the default History list next to each search, so I could type something like "big juicy pineapple" in history search and delete all the records that appear.

Здравствуйте. Скажите, как удалить определенный сайт из истории.

Открываю Историю - делаю поиск. Отображаются посещённые страницы, но нет никаких меню. Долгое нажатие не работает. А по нажатию переходит на сайт.

Понимаю, что можно удалить всю историю, но мне надо только один сайт удалить.

After desktop upgrade to Win 11 , a critical USA site which does not interact outside online or by international phone now only works through my Android Mozilla In Private history . I am keeping my Android in that mode but nervous about losing access. Is there anything I can do to get back access in the new desktop app?

Hi, I did not realize that default option for browsing in Firefox for Android these days is Private mode. I downloaded it on Android 14 and am unable to see my browsing history which had some hours of search work across a topic

Is there a way to access the browsing history without rooting the device?

Now that firefox Android supports addons, please someone make addons for History export..

Is there any other better way to export history.. I have tried sync.. but there seems to be some limitations in sync, it didn't sync all the history..

For some reason my browser occasionally jumps over to a private browsing tab and I may never realize Firefox has performed this action. I may continue with my research for any length of time when I may need to look at something other than my browser, say jump over to a Note or some other function not having to do with Firefox, when I return I find maybe an hour of research has automatically been closed and of course there is no record of that lost work. This function is really frustrating additionally it's tricky that a link to another site or page of information can cause the Firefox Browser to open the following tab in Private Mode, then automatically close when it becomes necessary to look at some other functions on my Android device, everything is wiped out gone lost no way to retrieve the info.

What ever happened to Lazarus, the app that always brought back lost work, private or otherwise? That was an excellent and very helpful tool. Is there some other way unknown to me where I can retrieve those closed private tabs, how do I stop the links from auto-opening privately, and I'd like to know how to stop private tabs from closing when I leave those tabs to focus on something other for a split second.

Please advise. Thank you.

My phone has died and I have Miles of history data collections very important that is that I want to be able to access on my new phone I have downloaded Firefox and it will not bring anything at all across even though it's recognized my sign in my email my photo

What I want is: 1. History should either not be saved, or alternatively auto-deleted after a certain time (e.g. only keep history of the past hour), or as a last resort get deleted when closing the browser. 2. I want to keep the ability to restore recently closed tabs. I realize this is a bit in conflict to not having a history, but just remembering the last few closed tabs would be enough, or all tabs closed in the last few minutes. 3. When I restart the browser (after pressing "Quit"), I want it to restore my previously open tabs 4. When I restart the browser (after pressing "Quit"), I want to keep cookies and logins (i.e. not get logged out everywhere, and have the cookie dialogues after restarting the browser). 5. Not super important, but ideally I want to keep my saved favicons/website logos in the bookmarks and on the new tab page after a restart.

So basically I just want to way for the history to be empty or automatically pruned, without sanitizing any other data on exit or browsing in a kind of permanent private mode.

I haven't yet found the correct configuration to do this. If there is an extension or about:config option for doing this, please also let me know (I'm happy to switch to Firefox Beta or Fennec F-Droid which have full extension support and expose about:config functionality.)

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Taken the following quote from your FAQ regarding Firefox Android:

"Delete a specific webpage from your browsing history"

This quite simply does not work. I am trying to delete a webpage, but it still shows up on "Firefox suggests" when typing similar words in search bar in browser.

Additional info just in case:

• No, not confusing this with my google search history.
• No, I am not syncing the history back in the android browser.

Any suggestions?
