Whenever pc or firefox crashes firefox deletes all history. Is there any way to make it so it stops doing this? I know I can refresh but it is getting old.
Sometimes when my pc crashes or firefox crashes it deletes all of my history when reopening it. I've had this issue for several months and I'm starting to get tired of refreshing firefox all the time and was wondering if anyone else had this issue and knows how to fix it.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and hardware acceleration in Firefox and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:

So I did what you said to do and everything is updated. Then today firefox crashed again and this time I couldn't even open it up because it kept crashing so I had to restart to even refresh.
