I expect you are deleting your history at the end of your session, as opposed to only clearing cache.

Make sure your are saving history, then in the settings that you are not clearing history.

Tools > Options > Privacy you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

FWIW, App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work.
