Hi

When you restarted your device, it would have closed Firefox for Android thus triggering the exit condition and clearing your browsing history.

Hi

Did you have history and browsing data set to be cleared on exit in the Firefox for Android settings?

I've always had that setting Seburo with no problem. These were all in folders after using the "add to home screen" option
