Mozilla is not saving my browsing history beyond the last 7 days.

On one of my 2 computers, Mozilla is not saving browsing history beyond the last seven days. On my other computer, it saves all my browsing history.
Is there a setting I need to change? Is there some other reason for the abbreviated history?

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

Synchronisation has not been able to complete during the last 7 days. Please check your network settings. What setings do I need to check?

An error message stating 'Synchronisation has not been able to complete during the last 7 days. Please check your network settings.' has appeared at the bottom of my browser for the last 2 days. Unfortunately, there is no guidance to what network settings I need to check. Any advice will be appreciated.

Firefox is not saving my browsing history anywhere including the addressbar. All settings are correct in options.

I had to re-install Firefox and since then all my history in the address bar is not being saved. I have followed the instructions and checked all the settings to save history but still no history being saved. Is there a way to go back to original default settings?

I use mozilla, and never usually have problems. But, the last few days I have not been able to open the articles/topics on my homepage. I can on microsoft or google...and I do not want to switch. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

I want to be able to get into the articles on my homepage. I can't do that right now. My homepage loads, but I am not able to read beyond the headlines of the articles.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

Having recently installed Firefox, it is not retaining any of my browsing history, including the last page visited (no back button!).

My Privacy and Security settings are set to retain cookies but for some reason this information is not being stored at all. I cannot save bookmarks or even go back on my browser. Help!

Can't get Firefox to not remember my browsing history.

My Firefox browser settings (under tools and options) are that it should never remember my browsing history.
Nevertheless, every time I open Firefox (even after the browser has been closed and the computer shut down) and open a new tab, there is a grid of tiles showing sites that I have previously visited. Also, if I click on history I can see my browsing history.
If I go to options and clear history, these things disappear. But after a period of browsing, they are back, even with the setting "never remember history."
How can I get Firefox to respect this setting and not remember my browsing history?
(I have tried creating a new profile, but this hasn't changed anything.)
Thanks for any advice,
Matthew

You can set another page as the new tab page by modifying the browser.newtab.url pref om the <b>about:config</b> page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Do you have any software installed on your computer like Advanced SystemCare that might be causing this?

History is blank! does not show any browsing history even changing the settings v 3.6.20 Mac OS

Regardless of the settings you choose, Firefox is not showing any browsing history. It's happening in version 3.6.20 for Mac as well as V 5 for windows. I see a lot of the same questions on the internet but no answers

I'm on Linux. There is no QuickTime for the Linux platform, but I see the player loading (caching) that movie. The Gecko Media Player doesn't seem to be able to play that file embedded, but does play it if I open the .mov file directly in the player.

After a fresh reinstallation of FF3.6.8 I'm unable to restore bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history from the saved profile data.

I have followed all the guidelines to transfer bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history from the copied Profile Folder. I did a fresh reinstall per directions of FF3.6.8.

Firefox doesn't delete the browsing history in the address bar

No matter what you do with Firefox in clearing the browsing history by going to History -> Clear Recent History and deleting everything or resetting FF by going to Troubleshooting information, Firefox doesn't delete the browsing history. The website you have browsed still appear in the address bar.
Several people already have complained about this issue (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the answer from the Firefox staff is that there is got to be a malware. This is not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in clean computers both Windows and Mac with Firefox doing the same thing, or more like not doing what it's supposed to do: clean the browsing history.
How unsafe is that. Where is your privacy? Firefox has to find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they're doing it on purpose because it hasn't been fixed after the complains.

You can delete the places.sqlite file if you aren't able to clear all history.

Are that entries that appear if you click the arrow at the far right of the location bar?
Do these items have a star to indicate that they are bookmarks?

Where's the button which shows the browsing history of the current session?

On previous versions there was right next to the back button a small down-upwards pointing button which opened the whole browsing history of the current session. It was helpful to pick the page (site) you needed in an instant instead of going through all pages back in a tedious manner. What's up with this new Firefox version? It has serious issues,for Christ's sake...!

Thank you! I didn't know about the fact that one can open such a window with a right click on the back button =O oh well,I just installed the add-on since I'm used to this upward-down pointing arrow =) Thanks a lot! Firefox seriously messed it up this time,but thanks to guys like you I will stay for a little while longer with our fiery fox friend =)

I go on and off the Internet several times every day. In the last 4 days, when I go off the Internet by "x" ing out Firefox and I then later in the day try to go back on the Internet, I get a message that states something to the effect that Firefox is running and I need to either close out Firefox or restart the computer. I always end up having to restart the computer.

Is this in safari?
try going into settings, safari and clear history. You may also want to clear cookies (means you will need to sign back into sites)
It's possible that that page is a popup ad of some sort that can't run, for example a flash based ad. You may have picked the cookie up browsing the internet and now that it's in there the only way to get rid of it is to clear your history and cookies.

The last few days I have been constantly saving my file. A couple of hours ago I renamed the file and then reopened my file a little while later, but the most recent work wasn't saved even though I'm sure I saved it before closing. What can I do?

Hi Constance,
As i understand your changes in the pdf were not saved...Are you still facing this issue?
