When I begin to type URL address, Firefox no longer remembers my history. I have made changes in preferences, "use customs settings for history"and then making the correct choices but it still isn't working. Really frustrating having to type in full address of regular websites I use.

It just stopped working!

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":

  • Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks

See Smart Location Bar

This issue can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
