Hey guys,

I need some help over here. Is it possible to get back deleted browsing history? I don't know if it's deleted, but I can only see my browsing history just for some months and I have never deleted any history what so ever. Would like to know if there is any way to store back older history than just some months (more than 6 months which seems to be the regular setting.

Thanks so much in advance.

if you don't have any other form of backup of your hard-disk available then i fear that this data is lost for good. for future reference: all your important personal data in firefox is saved in the profile folder, so a backup every now & then might help avoiding another loss of data: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles If you want restore windows to an old restore point see here How to Recover Deleted Internet History in Firefox

You can try to restore a previous version of the places.sqlite file.

You will have to export (HTML) or backup (JSON) the current bookmarks to avoid losing bookmarks that were created after the creation date of the places.sqlite.
