Are the history settings OK?

  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the Browsing History.
  • Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
  • Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history)
  • To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page, open that page via the location bar like a website.

If you still have a problem with the history then check:
