Firefox adds history
For some reason, whenever I close firefox and shut the pc down, then restart it again, firefox adds some history to my browserhistory. For example. I started watching a series, I was at season 11, episode 11, 2 days ago. Yesterday when I launched my pc, the history page for season 11, episode 11, was added after the season 12 episodes I watched, and the page that got loaded was the season 11, episode 11 page. I checked my history to see where I was (season 12 episode 9) and continued from there. Today it's once again at season 11, episode 11, and that page has once again been added to my history as latest page visited... Why does it keep going back to season 11, episode 11? How come it keeps adding that line to my history? Checking my history everything else is fine, except that 1 stupid tab that keeps adding a line in history and then jumps to that page. (luckily only on restart but its still annoying as fuck) The weirdest part to me is that my history isn't deleted or wrong or anything, the only thing that's wrong is that 1 page, that keeps being added as the latest page visited in my history, which is why it keeps getting loaded on startup:S All other tabs work fine... seeing as I'm watching a serie through streaming, it would be nice if I could just continue where I was instead of having to look in my history everyday and then change it.

Hi, have you checked the code of the page you are watching to see if it is labelled right in code. Right Click and view Page Source.
Does this happen on other sites. If not then it is the site.
Not exactly sure what I should be looking for then? At the very least the page url reflects which season and episode you're watching, so that alone should change and it does during the day, but changes after restart. I can still see all episodes I watched yesterday in my history, it's just that the latest episode in my history is once again season 11, episode 11, while im in season 12 already for 2 days now.
Anything specific in the code I should be looking for to see if that's causing it? at first glance it looks fine.
If there has been a mistake in the code which is everything you do not see that makes the page run in this case I would guess a page is made and the video is embedded in the page. This page was not made by the creator of the S12 E09 so what I am saying is that who ever created the page on a sharing site has in the code labelled it wrong. The code is what Firefox uses, not the words on the page.

that's the page in question, dont think that's the problem. At the very least this site seems to be made by the same person. Also don't see how firefox could do anything with the code on this page, since I'm only on the page at pc restart, and after I change it to the page I currently am. If you're correct then firefox would somehow access this page long after I left it... which would still be a firefox problem.
Code is fine. I though it was S12 E09 that was the issue when watched it it left info for S11 E11
