Hello to all.

By mistake I have cleared the browsing history, cache and cookies. I would like to recover the old precedents for "browsing history" because it is now completely empty and stores the list of visited sites.

Firefox only backs up the bookmarks. Not the history. So unless you have a backup somewhere . . . .

You can look at a utility to browse System Restore points to see if you have an older copy of places.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.

Location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>
