Bookmarks/History not being kept in between sessions

When I bookmark a new site, most of the time it doesn't appear in my bookmarks the next time I start Firefox. Also, the history of my browsing doesn't show any of the sites I had visited during the previous few hours. This doesn't happen every single time I close/open Firefox, though it does occur over 75% of the time, which can be extremely frustrating. I don't have any other issues with my PC and have scanned my entire system thoroughly with anti-virus/malware scanners which always yield clean results. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when the bookmarks will remain and when they don't. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks very much!

Ted, I’m not familiar enough with Safari to know if that behaviour is within its normal range of preferences, but to me it sounds as though something’s become corrupted within it. (I hope that someone else will chime in if that’s a normal possibility for Safari!) Have you tried downloading [the latest standalone Safari package for Snow Leopard|http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/ 061-8521.20100728.BhBgt/Safari5.0.1SnowLeopard.dmg] and reïnstalling it, to see if that would stop the duplication from happening?
If it has been corrupted, then perhaps that also might be having an effect on your browsing speed?

  • Recently migrated to new laptop, backuped with FEBE. Bookmarks, History not saving anything since then

    About a month ago I backed up my full profile and bookmarks from my old computer and restored/imported them into the new one using FEBE and the "Import and backup" tab, respectively. Both have the latest (18) version of Firefox. I followed all the steps to restore the old full profile into a new one, and then imported the bookmarks. So far so good.
    At the beginning it was all fine, but about a week ago I realised I can't bookmark, nor see any history saved in the corresponding log windows. When I press Ctrl+D I don't get any window asking for confirmation to save the bookmark. When I try to make Firefox Show All History, I get a completely blank page. Nothing at all. I've tried disabling all the extensions to no avail. Still the same problem. I've tried closing and reopening Firefox, restarting the computer, same. I also checked the places.sqlite file, it's fine.
    By the way, all the "Ctrl+Shift+B", "Ctrl+D", "Ctrl+Shift+H", "Ctrl+Shift+Del" options are in light grey, as if they had been disabled. On the contrary, the "Show All Bookmarks", "Bookmark This Page", "Show All History" and "Clear Recent History" ones are in black, as normal.
    I've tried a few tentative solutions, none has worked so far. Please help. Thank you very much for any comments or observations.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Bookmarks are not being saved

    i use safari 6.0.2 on a macbook air running OSX 10.8.2.
    i have no idea why, but if i try to set a new bookmark (say, to the bookmarks bar), it all acts as normal (no error message, etc.) but the bookmark will not happen.   just -0-.
    all software has been updated.
    can anyone help me here?  this is really annoying.

    Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
    Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
    File ▹ Import Bookmarks
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop.
    Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

  • Safari bookmarks & history not syncing with iPhone

    All of my history, readling list and bookmarks on Safari on my Macbook are no longer syncing with my iPhone. initially, my Safari on my macbook pro was syncing perfectly through sept. 2013. ever since then, nothing, including my history and bookmarks, from safari on my mac will sync anymore with the safari first on my iphone 4s and now my iphons 5s. i've already turned off the syncing options on both devices, turned them back on and restarted both devices, as per the suggestions from another post. STILL NOTHING. And with the update to the iOS on iphone as a few months ago, there is no longer the option to turn on and off the safari book sync options under settings on the iPhone or on iTunes. Help please!

    Sorry I have a problem with my devices and thought that you could help me , you are saying that safari history used to sync between all your devices , I was told that the history can't be synced and that only iCloud tabs sync , so plz plz reply to me cause I have a major problem , does safari history ( which is in the bookmark not the iCloud tabs ) does it sync between devices and you can see a history of one device on your other device

  • SQL Server Agent - Job History not being recorded (SQL Server 2005)

    I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue with SQL Server Agent not recording any job history. I am using SQL Server 2005 on a single Windows Server 2008 machine (i.e. no other domain controllers/active directory servers).
    The SQL Server Agent service is configured to 'Log On As' NT user account 'sqlagent'. The jobs themselves are executed successfully (all 'Transact-SQL' type steps actually use the 'sa' account) however the there is no actual job history to be found for any
    of the jobs -- in the SQL Activity monitor, the 'Last Run Outcome' is always 'Unknown' and the 'Last Run' date is always 'Never' for all jobs; in the SQL Job History Viewer there are no entries for any instances of a job being executed.
    The 'sqlagent' NT user account ia a member of the 'Administrators' NT group; the 'Administrators' group appears under Security > Logins on the database server. I have another server that also uses the same setup with a 'sqlagent' NT user account, on that
    database server the 'sqlagent' user account appears under Security > Logins and the SQL job history works correctly. I have attempted to add the 'sqlagent' to the Logins on the affected server using the SQL Server Surface Area configuration but this operation
    returns an error, detailed below.
    Additionally, I have attempted to use the built-in NT system account 'NETWORKSEVICES' to run the SQL Agent Service but this also results in exceptions in the error log and no job history being recorded. The entries in the error logs are very similar to those
    from the 'sqlagent' NT user account but instead the user is referred to as 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' in the error logs, again these are detailed below.
    Many thanks in advance for anyone's time and help with this issue!
    Arthur

    Hi Rama,
    Thanks for your reply. I have run the query you specified and can see only one entry with "NTLM" in the auth_scheme column, all of the rest have "SQL". It figures that the entry with "NTLM" is relating to the one NT user account that can successfully log
    in to the service (as mentioned in my reply to Nag above, this is the NT user account that installed the service on the machine). I have also executed the same query on the other machine that I mentioned in my original post and this contains two "NTLM" entries,
    I'd assume that these relate to the NT user that installed the software and the correctly working "sqlagent" NT user account that is correctly logging the job history on that machine.
    I think the problem is very much to do with granting access to new NT user accounts, as per the KB article that you have quoted above. In this case, it is not relating to scenarios 1 or 2 as these relate to SQL Server logins and this issue is about a Windows
    Authentication login. As I mentioned to Nag above, I am unable to grant any NT user accounts with access to the service however the NT accounts are all defined locally on the same machine as the SQL server is installed (i.e. there is no domain controller,
    active directory controller, etc) so I don't understand how the Windows login cannot be verified.
    Any further advice on the issue would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.
    Many thanks!
    Arthur

  • Sent mail suddenly not being kept

    I just noticed that both mail accounts on our computer are have not kept any copied of sent mail since the beginning of NOv. No e-mail addresses have been changed and all the settings are set for the sent mail to be saved in the preferences...what is wrong? Do I have to reinstall the mail to fix this?

    For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
    If either account is a .Mac or IMAP type account, do you select store Sent messages on the server which is available under the Special Malboxes tab for the account preferences?
    If both accounts are POP type accounts, how many messages are available in the Sent mailbox for each account?

  • CUPS History not being cleared

    We are running 8.5.1 across the board except CUPS, which is 8.5.3.
    We are running into an issue where users whose accounts have been disabled in AD, and their phone extensions assigned to another user are still showing up on the CUPC call display, or when searching the directory.
    Example:
    User A had extension 1234
    User A was disabled in AD
    User A information was removed from Call Manager
    User B was assigned extension 1234
    When User B calls, User A's contact information shows up.
    This can only be rectified by adding User B as a contact in CUPC.
    Once added, the proper information shows up in CUPC.
    That being said, when I search the directory in CUPC both User A and User B are found, with the same extension of 1234.
    Note that when searching the corp directory on a handset (7945) User A is not found, which is correct.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Marc

  • History not being 'historic'

    for some strange reason, safari does not keep my history to sites I have personally been to, is there a setting I can change or anything that can fix this problem? (if you folks need more information, please let me know, as this is really driving me up the wall)
    (im referring to when you type the first two letters/characters of a website, it doesn't appear)
    cheers

    It sounds like you messed with privacy settings, Im a Ie user (hiss, boo and all the other child like mac-user statements) but I reckon if you enable the autofill - stuff will... autofill.
    I personally hate this safari, its slow, and make me feel like a child where it hides all the good stuff, ie lets you do so much more if your a web designer, yet its not as good when it comes to some of the mad cool features that safari has, Im torn at present which to stick to.

  • Control Center Jobs - Workflow execution history not being shown

    Hi all gurus,
    We have recently migrated to owb 11.2 from 10.2. In DEFAULT_CONTROL_CENTER, we can see deployment history, but the "execution" tab is empty. Though we have executed several workflows, they are not shown in the execution TAB in "Control Center Jobs" window after they complete.
    Any clue on what can be the problem? Where can I further investigate the problem?
    Thanks you so much,
    Inaki.

    Is there any record in wb_rt_audit_executions? you can connect as OWBSYS, then set workspace to access the audit information.
    If there are records and not displayed in the execution tab, then it must have some issues. Then should be looked into further.
    Thanks,
    Shawn

  • SSMS not saving Query Options between sessions

    When I run a SQL query I always want to
    1. Include column headers when copying or saving the results
    2. Display results in a separate tab
    3. Switch to results tab after the query executes
    So, I set these Query Options and click OK, but the next time I open SSMS it does not remember my previous choices...which makes me have to go in and set them FOR EVERY QUERY WINDOW?  Is there a way to get SSMS to save my choices??
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I believe the issue is that he is using these options and setting them but once he restarts, those settings are getting lost. I mentioned the registry key where these options are saved because it might be a permission issue (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL
    Server Management Studio\XX_CONFIG)

  • Not being kept signed in

    I click that I want to stayed signed in for two weeks, but the next day when I reenter, I am asked to sign in. What gives?

    The checkbox creates a cookie that keeps you signed in. If it's not keeping you signed in, then it's something wrong with how your browser is handling the cookie. (Not allowing it to be created, deleting it on exit, not allowing the site to use it...)

  • New bookmarks not being saved

    Beginning today my new bookmarks are not being saved. I read several KB articles and have tried:
    - making sure the bookmarks file is not read-only
    - reset browser.places in about:config
    - renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox.
    None of that worked.
    Is there another fix to try?

    I still have my existing bookmarks.
    All existing bookmarks work.

  • TOC does not retain bookmarking between sessions

    Hello,
    One of my complete courses developed in Captivate for SumTotal LMS is not retaining bookmarking between sessions.
    When you re-enter the course, some of the bookmarking is lost.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
    Thank you ahead of time.

    Hello Lilybiri,
    Yes, Self Paced Learning is selected in TOC settings.
    The individual that was testing the functionality was viewing the content linear.
    He left the course after viewing about 10 slides out of 85.
    When he returned to the course, the first 10 slides did not have a checkmark.
    It did return him to the spot that he left off, and started placing checkmarks from their.
    No issues with the knowledge checks  or final quiz not working.
    Only issue is that the checkmarks were no longer present for previously viewed section.
    He stated that this is an issue.
    I do not see it as such as long as performance is not compromised.
