My Firefox history is shortened to a few entries for the last months, weeks, days. How is this even possible?

The title says it all.

If a large amount of history items were removed then this is either caused by deleting those entries manually or with a problem with the places.sqlite database file.
Also make sure not to use Clear Recent History.
Is a specific (month) range gone or are only specific entries missing possible from the same server?
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.

I'm unable to use Fiverr with Firefox. Last year I was able to order Fiverr gigs and send messages inside Fiverr but for the last 3 weeks I've been unable to.

I'm unable to use Fiverr.com with Firefox. Last year I was able to order Fiverr gigs and send messages but for the last 3 weeks I've been unable to do either. I can login to Fiverr but I'm unable to use the service.
I'm using Windows 7.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

For the last month or so I have been having issues with Firefox crashing whenever I click on anything to do with Facebook. Also, since I downloaded Firefox I have been having major issues with Adobe . Any ideas??

I try to click on the games or other users names or anything that opens another link and it crashes. This has been happening off and on for about a month but has gotten regular in the last 4 or 5 days. Anybody have any ideas?? Also, it seems that Firefox has affected Adobe. I am having lots of issues in the last few weeks but when I use Windows I'm OK????

i have the same problem with the above..firefox is running too slow with the games in facebook..but it runs good when browsing my updates, msgs, photos...firefox is totally opposite of IE..IE is faster with the games and slow while browsing..i love to use mozila but when i do games it really pisses me off...hope you could help me..

FireFox 3.6.23 & 7.0.1 keeps crashing ever now and then, it has already happened atleast 10 times in the last 2 hours or so. No crash report is available. This is going on for the last month or so.

The articles/KB were not helpful in resolving the problem. I am posting this via Opera.

Sorry folks for the late reply.
It seems the problem was with my computer and not with FireFox. Finally, my PC stopped working. Had to get a brand new PC, there seems to be no problem with version 7.0.1 - all is fine so far.

For the last month or so, once a week Firefox is automatically logging me out of all my saved logins/passwords.

I have used Firefox for many years without this issue. I haven't changed any of the history/cookie settings and I've re-confirmed they're what they should be. Is this some sort of a security feature of the newer versions (3.6.14 and up)? It seems to have started right around the time of that update.

Yup, did it again today...every Wednesday morning now when I start Firefox, I've been signed out of all saved logins. Anyone else?

My computer keeps crashing when I use Firefox. This has been happenning for the last 2 weeks, but as of 3 days ago it's just impossible. What can I do, I keep having to reload every 10 minutes because it freezes up and crashes.

This has been happening when I'm on Facebook and playing games. It just freezes up and not even the cursor moves. I have to hit Ctrl Alt Del in order to disconnect and reload. Every time it happens I have sent report , but nothing seems to help. Yesterday I went and I cleared out all my cookies to see if it would help; but today it's impossible.

the behavior you are reporting can be many things...so lets start asking a few questions. Did you remove or add anything to your computer before all this started ?...can you temporarily disable your anti virus and try again? is IE ( internet explorer ) working fine?

When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

Only firefox is taking forever to open for the last few weeks

for the last few weeks, whenever i try to open firefox, it takes at least a minute to open. the process opens within a few seconds of clicking the icon, but not the window. i've watched the process (in the processes tab in task manager), and the memory usage builds very slowly. right now, firefox is open, and the memory usage is up to 115,000k. all other programs, including ie8, still open quickly, but not firefox. i have done numerous virus scans (avg, malware, spybot, hijackthis, and combofix), and they've all turned up clean. i just updated firefox from 3.6.6(?) to 3.6.9, and it didn't fix the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Back button doesn't work due to multiple history entries for the current page. How can I fix this problem?

This problem started February 2015. I have noticed it mostly while searching ebay. When I hit the back button it did not work. I right clicked the back button and found at least 2 and sometimes up to a dozen duplicate history entries for the current page I am on, meaning I would have to click the back button a dozen times to get to the previous page. I am using Firefox 35.0.1 on a Vista computer. I have not found any fix for the problem after searching the internet for hours. I have seen similar issues with people using IE and some say the duplicate entries are caused by banner ads but still no one has provided a good answer or fix for the problem. Please help.

I will leave further answers to users of ebay. Script or adblockers may ease the problem.

For the last few weeks, after I close FF 19.0, I can't reopen it. I've resorted to having to re-install FF each time to get it to open. What to do?

For the last few weeks, every time I shut down Firefox 18 (and most recently 19.0), I cannot re-open the browser again. The application spins as if it's going to open, then stops and sits there. I've had to resort to re-installing the brower each time now, very irritating. It does recall my tabs as they had been, which I want. I used to open as many as 40-50 tabs, but now have made an effort to keep them below 20, thinking that would help it work more optimally. I'm getting weary of re-installing the browser all the time. What should I do? THANKS

By the way, your "More system details" page shows that you have two different versions of the Flash plugin. Sometimes Adobe's updater fails to remove the older version if Firefox is open at the time you run it.
To remove the older one by hand, open this folder and look for files starting with NPSWF32:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
You only need the latest one.

I have pre-ordered a few songs over the last few months

I have pre-ordered a few songs over the last few months like most people. I have checked for new downloads within the itunes store but nothing shows up. I've got the emailed links & have clicked on them, when it opens into itunes I am asked more than once to imput my card details as a billing info screen pops up. Now there is enough cash in the account to pay for these songs. I do not understand what is going on & I am getting rather frustrated by this! I've emailed apple but didnt seem to help me much last time! Anyone got any idea what i could do before i end up crying!
Thanks

Firfox has been crashing every few minutes for the past three days

There is a problem on Windows 8 with Firefox 19 and AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphic display cards.
This issue is currently being investigated in bug 830531.
*Bug 830531 - [Win8] crash in XPC_WN_Helper_NewResolve mainly with AMD Radeon HD 6290/6310/6320/7290/7310/7340
If you have one of those display cards then best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now.

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.
