Why has my search history has disappeared

Google is my homepage and it no longer displays my search history. I have gone into Firefox Tools/Options/Privacy and have it set to Remember History. No luck.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. If the new profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy the needed personal data] from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder another location (profile folder)] separate from its [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory files/folder]. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window Options] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config], and usually would also be empty of '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' > '''Add-ons''', and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website cache/cookies/data/preferences etc., ('''Tools''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History '''Clear Recent History''']).

  • How to restore search history tabs; disappeared after I cleared search history; can't restore tabs!

    I recently cleared my search history - I deleted everything - but now my search history tabs (that were generated after each search) have disappeared, and I can't restore them no matter what I do. Also, under "History", "restore previous session" and "recently closed windows" are gray, and so can't be selected. I've "reset" Firefox to "default" status twice to no avail...help! I need those tabs!

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

  • Why does the clear history button disappear sometimes even when I have browser history showing?

    as per question.

    Is this for the Android build, Firefox 10? If so, my advice would actually be to try the latest Aurora build -- it uses a different user interface altogether and is the new product we're focusing on entirely, which will shortly replace the version you're running.
    Try that one and see if the problem still exists there. More info here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora

  • I just noted that my calendar history has disappeared prior to August 9th.  I don't know why or how.  Is there any way to get it back?

    I just noted that my calendar history has disappeared prior to August 9th.  Events are only listed from that date until now.  I don't know how or why this happened.  Is there anyway to retrieve the lost event information?

    Do you sync with Outlook or another calendar program. Many calendar programs have an auto archive that removes events from the calendar after a certain period of time. They would be located in the archived calendar if that is the case.

  • Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

  • LOve Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

    Love Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

    Please do the following.<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options''' | '''Privacy'''.<br><br>
    #In the dropdown menu at the top, change it to "'''Use custom settings for history'''"<br><br>
    #Checkmark the option: "'''Remember Search and Form history'''".<br><br>
    #Remove the checkmark from: "'''Clear history when Firefox closes'''".

  • Why has my back button disappeared, I have to exit each time I want a previous screen.

    Why has my back button disappeared, I have to exit each time I want a previous screen

    I noticed you have ''Freeze (dot) com Net Assistant'' installed. This is considered by most security software to be malware since it changes your user preferences and feeds you ads. See http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.freeze.com
    Also, this Wikipedia article contains some info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3i#History
    You should be able to remove it by going to Add-ons, then Extensions. If it's not there, then the free edition of Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free should be able to get rid of it for you.
    There are some screenshots of how you probably got it on your system here: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Adware.Win32.Freeze.com+Toolbar
    (no need to purchase the software to remove it because as mentioned already, Malwarebytes should be able to get rid of it for you).

  • Version 30: I hit the bookmarks star & the search function has disappeared. Plus, the b/marks list covers part of the tab... can i get the search back?

    FFox updated itself to version 30 -- most unfortunately as it happens. Until now, hitting the bookmarks star opened a window on the left with a search window on top & the list of bmarks following. The search window now has disappeared, and the bmarks list covers the actual page I am browsing...
    Can I get the search function back? Maybe even put a stop to bmarks list maskign whatever I am browsing?
    Alternatively, what other reputable browser can you recommend thereby ridding myself of this and any future destructive "improvements"?
    Thank you

    The sidebar icon is the icon between the history (clock) icon and the downloads (Down) arrow icon in this screenshot.

  • Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro? my MacBook Pro CS4?

    Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro in CS4 but is still on my iMac?

    Many thanks for your reply, I found Photomerge.jsx on the iMac, although I couldn't find a Presets/Scripts folder in the Application folder but a search found 4 copies of Photomerge.jsx.
    I made a CD of them and inserted it into the MacBook Pro.  I dropped a copy into my Applications folder but when I opened Photoshop CS4 and tried to use it - it wasn't available.  I then dropped it into Photoshop and it works but when I close everything down and re-open Photoshop it is not there.
    Had to leave the Photomerge.jsx file/folder on the desktop and re drop into photoshop to open to use???
    Please help me further.

    why has the last minute 20 seconds suddenly disappeared from a song?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

    Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator. "
    My search SA is working fine and crawl running with no error. It seems like there was same issue on SP foundation 2013 where there is fixed released for that:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760625?wa=wsignin1.0
    But I have SP Server and i can confirm that I have installed SP1 (KB288055) in my farm.

  • Search "finds" emails but when I click on them to actually read them, it shows nothing. Also, the folder where these emails are located has disappeared.

    A folder that has several sub-folders (as do all my folders), has disappeared from my list of folders. Filters that would normally send new incoming emails to this folder now say, "choose folder" (they're not disabled), and of course I can't choose it anymore. When I do a search for emails that I know were in the folder, it finds them (or at least some of them, for sure; haven't checked on the hundreds) and lets me see the tops of contents, like in any normal search. So I know the emails do exist. But when I click on one to actually read it, Tbird goes through the motions of bringing the whole email up, but there's actually nothing there. The column heading are there for Data, From, Subject, Location, etc., but the there's nothing under the headings. So, I don't know what happened to the folder, and its (former) contents are out there in my computer's nether world.
    Also, don't know if this is relevant; a day ago I did a backup and restore of my profile using MozBackup because I had to have a faulty hard disc replaced on my laptop. My Profile for Thunderbird was approx. 1.6 GBytes. I get 80 or so e-mails a day. The restore went fine as far as I can tell; In fact, I think I even recall noticing that the now-missing folder was there at first, but this is the first time I've tried to use it.
    [email protected]

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think Thunderbird has an indexing process that runs in the background - and if you were on some odd configuration, let's say you're connecting to a mail system that also used an archiving system (for instance Outlook with Symantec Enterprise Mail Vault).
    It's possible for Thunderbird to index the email (hence you can search for it) but by the time you run the search (a week, a month, or what ever later) the Symantec Enterprise Mail vault has already archived the email.
    Basically you it can search, and build an index, but anything could happen to the email between being indexed and you searching for it.
    Hope that helps?

  • My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP.

    My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
