Firefox Sync doesn't save all my browser history it only seems to save a few entrieswhen I sync to a new profile

I don't know if only saves after a certain amount of time if does is there a work around to this.

The history can be quite large, normally around 100,000 pages as you can see in the places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages pref on the about:config page.
It would take quite some time and a lot of storage space on the Sync server and it would affect Firefox's performance to sync that much data.
That is why the amount of history that is shared is limited.
You could copy the places.sqlite file to other devices to have all the history and if necessary restore the bookmarks from compressed .jsonlz4 backup.

Following repeated crashing of Firefox 3.6.11, I was required to amend my profiles to correct a security error (I got an ssl error) by deleting cert8.db file. I have lost all my browsing history in the crash, how can I recover it?

The problem originated from Talktalk's Assist & Go software interfering with my browser settings. This caused Firefox to repeatedly crash with message (see below)I then got error "ssl_error_ssl_disabled" when trying to access my webmail- I followed the help instructions and deleted the cert8.db file whcih allowed Firefox to start & me to access my webmail.
But all the browsing history has disappeared, I had about 6 months prior to the crash, how can I recover it, is there a backup?

My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page. I can't figure out the rename function either. Help?

I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

Find historic of all the websites I went to in the last 6 months (need date), sadly about 3 months ago I seem to have clean out all my browser history

I would like to check when I went on specific website in the last 5 months but my browser history start only 3 months back. I had some issues with yahoo over taking my browser and I had to remove and reinstall firefox. Is there somewhere in my apple macbook pro a place where my browser history will be stored?

You would have to restore an older copy of the places.sqlite file via the Time Machine if you have that enabled on your Mac.
*http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
Note that this will replace both the history and the bookmarks, so you will have to backup the bookmarks to an HTML file or restore the current version of places.sqlite after you are done.

HT1918 I moved to another country and would like to change the billing country for the credit card. It doesn't allow me to switch the country only street etc.. Do I have to create a new account separately for a new country?

I moved to another country and would like to change the billing country for the credit card. It doesn't allow me to switch the country only street etc.. Do I have to create a new account separately for a new country?

Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

I would like to save all of my history and if someone wants to delete them firefox not let him to delete.

my firefox is 29.0.1.
someone comes and delete my firefox history and i lose them very easily.at least i want a rule to save all my history and no one except my not delete the history.
could you please help me?

Can you password protect your computer so no one but you can use Windows? And perhaps encrypt your hard drive so it can't be used from a bootable CD or DVD? If not, I think it will be very difficult to ensure the safety of any file on the system from erasure or modification.

To have great read/write performance, do you have to save all programs onto the SSD or can you save programs onto the HDD?

if I want to use the fast read/write speeds of my SSD, do I have to save the programs (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Powerpoint, Steam, Counter-Strike, etc) onto the SSD? Or can I save all programs onto a 2nd drive which would be a HDD and still have fast speeds WITHOUT storing those programs onto the SSD? My 2012 mid Macbook Pro has a SSD as its main bootup drive and will be getting a 2tb HDD to replace the optical drive.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated,
Thank you!

Firefox 4 does not show the current browsing history, and I cannot acess my privacy tab in the options

My browsing history is incomplete, it only shows through August. I also cannot access the privacy tab in the options folder, nor can I click on the stop private browsing.

Maybe your Trend Micro took over the Privacy tab in Options?
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Sync is working between desktop browsers (bookmarks+history) but only syncing history to android. Need bookmarks!!!

Sync is working perfectly between FF 36.0 and Dev Ed 37.0a2 on Windows 7 and 36.0 on Windows 8.1 for Bookmarks + History
It's refusing to sync anything except History to FF 36.0 on Android 5.0.2 (Nexus7) and FF 36.0 on Android 4.4.4 (Moto G)
It's probably been quite a few weeks since it was successful with the bookmarks too. I've purged lots of bookmarks to reduce numbers (currently @ 4918 ish) and removed ALL bookmarks from both android browsers. Previously, I've disconnected the devices from Sync - even reinstalled FF on them but the problem persists. Since that's no longer making a difference, I'd like to find an *actual* solution :)
Previously, it worked without issue (mostly) but now does nothing - no stall, hang or delays when syncing - it would seem (judging by the speed of the UI when syncing) that the data simply isn't being sent (or requested) from the server.
The synced bookmarks (desktop) still show *old* data in the Mobile Bookmarks folder from when they used to sync. This isn't updated when anything is added on either Android device (one bookmark on each as a test).
I've enabled desktop sync logs as suggested in other similar posts, and managed to get remote debugging of the Moto G up and running, and managed to get it logging (adb logcat) to the console. Tapped for Sync and it looks like I've got something of use.
Is it possible to provide the logs via PM or e-mail?
Would "reading list" items be tipping the bookmarks over the 5000 limit? (They're also not syncing, but I assume they're a BM "category".)
Or a combination of pending unsynced items (from the other device) added to existing items hit the same limit?
When the limit is hit, is *all* bookmark syncing simply aborted? (Seems to be a current symptom... i.e. no attempt made - see below)
"Interesting" looking bits logcat:
I/FxAccounts( XXXX ) : firefox :: BrowserRepoSession :: Unable to extract bookmark from cursor. Record GUID MVNVrWILD_-T, parent null/-3
I/FxAccounts( XXXX ) : firefox :: ServerSyncStage :: Stage bookmarks received 0 and sent 9 records in 1.72 seconds.
Thanks for your time - keep up the good work!
Cheers, Paul

Hey Paul,
Sure, you can pm the logs if need be, I would share them with a Sync engineer if there was any big issues. However the limit I believe would be mentioned in the logs if it was hitting the limit.
Is Auto-Sync enabled on the Mobile device as well?

All Firefox mentions in every location is Iphone, never ipad. Want to sync an Ipad. All instructions, as simple as they seem do not appear on my desktop.

Not an Iphone, and Ipad. Downloaded app to ipad. All instructions say to go to tools,options,sync and pick a device. That simply does not appear on Firefox on my desktop machine. So, no way to get it on my ipad. Suggestions? Wish they would not say Iphone...

James, thanks. I have two screens, and there is a Tools ,Options etc. My issue was that Firefox instructions do not match what is on Tools. I finally went to the Ipad, downloaded Firefox, found out how to set it up from the Ipad. Works fine. Thanks for help.

Wi-fi sync doesn't work all the time

This has been an issue for me ever since wi-fi sync was introduced. My setup is all-Apple: iOS devices, Mac, Airport Extreme router.
I have successuflly set up for wi-fi sync, and it works. The problem is that quite often the device and iTunes don't find each other. I click on the device in the list, click the "Sync" button, iTunes says it's "looking for..." and eventually gives up and removes the device from the list. At this point, it usually requires restarting iTunes AND the device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) to get things going again.
One theory I have is that I would often take a device with me without ejecting it from iTunes, and then when I return they don't reconnect. However, even when I do remember to eject the device before taking it out of range, it's no guarantee.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have the same issue, it works for a while then won't work hardly at all. Then start working again. I wish it would just work like it supposed too. I hear it has trouble with wet or clamy hands but mine are rarely like that. I do work outside with my hands and the are kind of tough and callused up. I wonder if that effects it some. Anyway let me know if you figure out how to make it work reliably
Cheers

Aperture sync doesn't get all the pictures?

I have an Aperture Quick Album that picks all 1-star images from the last 30 days. In Aperture, this quick album today shows 300 images. When I select it in iTunes as a synced album, it shows only 173 images.
What am I missing?

I'd suggest the Previews need to be updated - this has happened to me when I first started using AP3.
Took me a while to figure it out too

Outlook Sync doesn't grab all fields!

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. My versions are:
Windows XP Pro SP 2
Nokia PC Suite V. 6.83.14.1
Phone is a Nokia 6126
Connection via Bluetooth
Outlook 2003
The Problem:
I am trying to Sync with my Contacts folder in Outlook 2003. I also set the Sync direction to always take the Outlook version to use. A couple things aren't happening:
1. When syncing, all the fields do not get transferred to the phone. If the Outlook contact has Business, Home and Moble phone numbers, shouldn't I see all three of those in the contact on the phone? This is not happening.
2. I then updated a single contact's phone number in Outlook, performed a sync, and nothing was updated.
Any responses to this issue will be grately appreciated!
One more question too, there is no place that I could easily find a phone/USB cable compatibility chart on the website. I have a DKU-5 cable from an older phone and was hoping it would work with my new 6126 phone. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Jeff Tolman

The European PC Suite compatibility table here does not list the 6126:
http://www.nokia.com/A4423033
Nor does this one for the USA:
http://www.nokiausa.com/A4410034
Both do list 6125 and CA-53 compatibility for that one. Perhaps the 6126 is a close relative: http://forum.nokia.com/devices/6126
http://forum.nokia.com/devices/6125
If the CA-53 works, then a DKU-2 will work, too. However, a DKU-5 won't (the DKU-5 and CA-42 are for phones without true built-in USB support, so those cables have electronics that make the serial port support on the phone work with USB).

Why is it, after nearly 7 years of existence, they still can't bring out a Firefox that doesn't delete all your saved tabs when you close Firefox instead of saving them?

See title.

Are you using '''''Restore Previous Session''''' when you open Firefox?
Starting with Firefox 4, every session is saved but it is not automatically re-opened, the user needs to restore the previous session. It is in History and on the default homepage.

Firefox Sync doesn't save all my browser history it only seems to save a few entrieswhen I sync to a new profile
