Firefox is not saving my history at all - why?

In drop-down menu, it shows the last 10 places I've visited, but if I go to "Show all history", there's nothing there.
I can search for specific things in the history dialogue box, and then they come up, but I can't see where I went today, yesterday, etc.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox is not saving history even with remember history preference turned on.

Firefox is not saving history even with remember history preference turned on. I have tried reinstalling Firefox but this has not solved the issue. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.

Firefox isn't saving my history, even though privacy settings are set to remember history.

Firefox isn't saving my history. I'm not in private browsing mode and remember history is selected under the privacy settings. This only started after I updated to the latest version. All pre-update history is lost, too.

Firefox does not remember my history or bookmarks or anything after i go to a new page or website

When I go to a new page (for example from Google.com to Youtube.com or with any other website), Firefox does not remember the history or bookmarks or any other information that I just used. I cannot go back to the page i was at before because it won't remember my history. I tried all the steps that it told me to do when i clicked on more info in the red bar that said "Firefox will not remember your history or bookmarks because it is in use by another application" but it sill didn't work.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Mozilla Firefox is not saving any of my usernames or passwords

Mozilla Firefox is not saving any of my usernames or passwords on any of the sites I visit and I'm wondering why. I clicked on Tools then I clicked on Options then clicked on the Security tab then under Passwords I checkmarked "Remember passwords for sites" then I clicked OK. When I visit sites that I regularly go on none of my usernames or passwords are saved. I have to type them in. Why is this?? How can I fix this??
Here are the sites that I regularly visit that won't save my usernames or passwords:
www.singlesnet.com
www.plentyoffish.com
www.evow.com
www.datehookup.com
www.christiandatingforfree.com
www.facebook.com
www.twitter.com
Somebody please help!!!!!!!!

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.

Having the same problem. Uninstall and reinstall did not help. Is there any progress on this? I'm using the latest android OS, and sync is working just fine on my other devices. The android phone is syncing my tabs but not my bookmarks.

Firefox 26 not saving logins OR passwords after clicking "Remember me"?

Problem:
Began having this issue about a month ago, after altering some Google privacy settings. I then went on a rampage of cookie deleting and disabled all third party cookies... and managed, somehow, to disable Firefox's ability to remember /any/ website's "remember me".
I constantly have to log in to every account each time I exit the webpage, even after clicking the remember me box.
Passwords and login info are still stored; they auto-fill when I click on the fill-in bars; but accounts refuse to stay logged-in.
Additional info:
After toying around with the google settings, that didn't fix things.
Re-enabling third party cookies didn't fix things.
Privacy/Security Add Ons include: Ghostery 5.1, Adblock Plus 2.4.1, WOT
Changing security settings in the Options -> Firefox Privacy didn't fix things.
Resetting Firefox didn't fix things.
"Remember form & search history" is on.
Everything in privacy is currently checked EXCEPT "Use private browsing".
Using Firefox 26.

Then you have a problem with cookies.
''Soniahryn wrote:''

Click the '''Exceptions''' button and delete any unwanted entries. ''Block'' exceptions will prevent cookies from the respective domain from being saved altogether, while ''Allow for Session'' exceptions will delete cookies from the respective domain once Firefox is closed.
If you don't have any cookie exceptions, does the problem go away if you disable all your add-ons in the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category and restart Firefox? If yes, then see
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
If the problem persists with all extensions disabled, try the following.
# Under '''[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track|Options - Privacy]]''', set ''Firefox will: Remember history''.
# Open '''[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|your profile folder]]'''.
# Exit Firefox.
# Delete the ''cookies.sqlite'' file and if found, also ''cookies.sqlite-shm'' and ''cookies.sqlite-wal''. Note that this will discard any saved cookies you may have.

Firefox is not saving my preferences.

I read in Mozilla's knowledge base to check the pref.js file to make sure it wasn't a read only file.
I did that and it is not a read only file. In addition, I have pref files 1 through 88. i.e. prefs-1, prefs-2 ..........prefs-88. Is this suppose to be? The 88 files are dated 05/09/13 to 05/22/14.
What else could be the problem that my preferences are not saved?

There shouldn't be any numbered prefs-##.js files or other files numbered in this way.
The presence of numbered files indicates that there was a problem with renaming the numbered temp file to the original prefs.js file, possibly caused by security software blocking this file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Firefox will not start or open at all

I have been using Firefox on a PC with Windows Vista 64-bit OS, but suddenly Firefox will not even open up on this PC. I have uninstalled and re-installed FF (different versions of it such as 24, 27, 30 & 32), but nothing seems to work. Restarting my PC does not help either. I have read several of the articles on Mozilla Support (including "Firefox Won't Start, Find Solution") and some of them say it could be due to a problem with my Profile or Add-ons or Plug-ins. If I am supposed to fix one of those issues, the problem is that I cannot even open Firefox (not even in Safe Mode) to get into those selections.
I like Firefox more than IE or Chrome, and would appreciate anyone's help to fix this problem.

FredMcD, thanks again for taking the time to help. I changed the "Connection Settings" to "No proxy," and then upgraded to FF 32.0, but it did not open up. So I am back to 24.0. If you have other ideas, I am willing to try it out so that I can upgrade to the latest FF version.
On a different Firefox topic, I imported my "Favorites" list from IE to FF, and I do see them when I go through the "Bookmarks" tab on the very top of the screen. Then under "View" tab, I have selected "Bookmarks Toolbar" which places a direct link called "From Internet Explorer" a couple of lines below the main toolbar (my idea is to save a few clicks if I want to go to my IE Favorites. However, when I click on that direct link, I only see 3 entries ("Customize links"; "Suggested sites" and "Web Slice gallery," but I do not see the many entries that should be there from my IE Favorites list. The strange thing is that until a few days ago I used to see all my IE Favorites when I clicked on this direct link! What should I do?

After upgrading to 6.0 firefox will not open ant websites at all, while my other browsers work correctly: help, please

i run windows 7 on a sony y series. before upgrading to 6.0 firefox worked seamlessly. now it will not open any websites at all. i have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. thoughts? help? ...

I will be using IE9 until this is fixed. Perhaps for good!!
