I can never access the history of any sites I have been to previously. When I open the window that is supposed to show me my history, it's blank. The 'most visited' tab is always empty. How do I solve this?

Check that you still keep history.

To see all the History and Cookie settings, select:

  • Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

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