Swiftweasel cannot remember bookmarks or browsing history

I installed Swiftweasel from AUR. It works, but when I add bookmarks to the bookmark border (under the address panel) and close Swiftweasel, it can't remember those bookmarks (bookmarks border is blank) and in addition, it cannot remember browsing history. However, preferences/settings and addons are fine and doesn't change or remove after closing Swiftweasel. Firefox (Shiretoko) works fine.
So, what could be the problem? The same problem occurs also in this. No difference.
And yes, I have Intel64 processor and 64bit Arch, so Swiftweasel version should be right.

Delete the profile and try again?
Does the problem occur with Firefox or Swiftfox?
I tried to delete profile: no difference (but addons and settings were reseted/removed). And as I said, Firefox works fine, but I haven't tested Swiftfox. Should I?

Is it possible to add a shortcut to one or two very select websites to the navigational toolbar for convenient, one-click entry (i.e., which toolbar currently has buttons for viewing bookmarks and browsing history)?

I would just like to be able to click once to get to one or two very important websites, just as I can now click once to show my viewing history (or scrapbook) in the sidebar.

That's what the bookmarks toolbar is for.
But putting single bookmarks there can fill it up quickly. Rather than a keyboard shortcut you can create a '''keyword shortcut''' for the bookmark, and that bookmark can be anywhere and out of sight. I keep all (most) of my keyword bookmarks in one folder on my bookmarks toolbar with the name beginning with the keyword. Here is an example, next door neighbor liked it for their netbook used at TV
'''Name:''' tv: TV Listings - Find Local TV Shows and Movie Schedules - Listings Grid | TVGuide.com
'''Location:''' http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/
'''Keyword:''' tv:
'''Description:''' PPP (User must be custom TV choices at Yahoo/TVGuide), start with zipcode (uncheck timezone), uses cookies, do for not logged in and for logged in. Must be logged in to pick your favorite channels to reduce list size.

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

Why is my Firefox 4.0.1 crashing and deleting my browsing history and bookmarks?

This is the third time in the past month and a half that my Firefox 4.0.1 has crashed and deleted both my browsing history and my recent bookmarks. It seems to delete up to about a week's worth of information.
In the past, my Firefox browser would crash, but it would at least retain my last entered information (but that was the older version of Firefox); so this is something entirely new. I updated to 4.0.1 about two months ago, hoping that this would be better, but these random, information deleting, crashes are driving me crazy! I'm hesitant to download the new 5.0 version for the fear that these crashes will get worse...but mainly because I love Hypertext too much and I don't want to lose it to the upgrade.
I had read that one of the options to identifying the problem is to post a crash I.D.; however, when I searched for my latest crash reports, it doesn't show either of the two crashes that concerns me. So I'm even more curious to what this problem might be. I can tell you some of the key behaviors before it crashes:
* It begins to lag (slower than snail pace).
* It's almost impossible to click from one tab to the other (even if I only have two tabs open).
* My comp's physical memory spikes.
* The browser window will sometimes freeze and shut down the whole program, but this time (today), the window closed on its own.
* When I'm forced to close Firefox from my Task Manager, sometimes I actually have to restart my computer before I'm able to use the browser again.
* The crash happens randomly. I haven't noticed a crash pattern based on websites that I visit.
I hope someone can help me. I would really like this remedied. It just sucks having spent so much time bookmarking research material, just to have all of it wiped away without a reason.

Try to update to the latest Firefox 12.0 version.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/gfx.color_management.mode
* https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
You can set the gfx.color_management.enablev4 pref to true on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to enable ICC V4 support in Firefox 8+, but that feature is not yet fully implemented, so there may be problems in some cases.

All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this?

All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this? I have turned off Browsing History.

Firefox doesn't bookmark pages automatically to the Unsorted folder unless you click the star on the location bar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox no longer gives automatic prompts when I type in first few letters of a search - even though my browsing history is being recorded, and "Remember search and form history" is ticked in the Privacy preferences: what's gone wrong?

Firefox has recently stopped giving (personalised) automatic prompts when I type in the first few letters of a search. What does come up is a long list of possible search subjects - but these are very general and don't reflect my own personal browsing history. My browsing history IS being recorded, however, and the "Remember search and form history" box is ticked in the Privacy preferences.
I'm not using the "Private Browsing" option.
There are two MacBooks in the house, sharing one wireless router. This problem has cropped up on both laptops - mine and my wife's - at around the same time.

Help! I cannot get to a website I was on 3 days ago, and the history button does not seem to take me to my browsing history. SO far I have gone back to Internet Explorere as the FF4 is too frustrating, but accessing my history is critical for contacts.

In FF4 I cannot find where to access the history. I go to the red drop down box in the top of the left hand corner and there is a link to a history drop down, but then there will be nothing displayed- not for the day, or the week, or---. Where has the access to this information been moved? I am using Windows 7 .

CTRL+H should give you your history unless you enabled "Clear Browsing History" in Options | Options | Privacy.
Have a look at this add-on too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/undo-closed-tabs-button/

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.

On a Mac, how do you export/download the browsing history (not bookmarks)? Thank you!

You can't export the History in Firefox. It is possible to copy History items and paste them to a Bookmarks Folder and export the Bookmarks to an HTML or paste the history items to an HTML editor.

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 about:config page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Do you have any software installed on your computer like Advanced SystemCare that might be causing this?

Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.
Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

Do all the settings (bookmarks, browsing history etc...) remain on the computer used with "Sync" after signing off?

Do all the settings (bookmarks, browsing history etc...) remain on the computer used with "Sync" after signing off from your "Sync" account?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

How is that related to the Firefox Sync extension and service?
What type of file is that?
Where are you getting that file from?

Hello, Robertofromfo.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have Private Browsing enabled. The article below will show you how to disable this feature.

You can also attempt to clear your history via the steps below.
Follow these steps to clear information from your device:
To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History.
To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.
To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

Share safari bookmarks but not browsing history

In iCloud, how do I share safari bookmarks but not browsing history?

Thanks for replying. Private browsing doesn't save either type of history, so it wouldn't make a difference.
I don't want my browsing history available when Firefox is open. I sometimes leave the browser open for days at a time if I haven't turned my computer off.

Lost my toolbars so cannot utilize any bookmarks, file commands, history,etc.

Lost my toolbars so cannot utilize any bookmarks, file commands, history,etc. Recently update to Firefox 4.0, but only having this problem on one account so suspect it was an inadvertant click that sent the toolbar into the abyss:) Tried everything from right clicking to FAQ. Looking for help!!

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
