I want to revisit a site I found in a search a fortnight ago. I need to be able to search my older history to find this site, but I can't seem to find the way to open the history in a library window any more - these are the instructions but the Show All History bar at the bottom isn't there: The History drop-down menu includes a Recent History list. Click the Show All History bar at the bottom of that list to open the Library window.

Hello waywar,

If I understand you correctly : when you click on the icon that looks like books on a shelf, at the end of the toolbar (or 3-bar menu => Library), and click "History", and the bottom there is no "Show All History" ..... that's weird. What you can do though (and it's even faster) is to use this keyboard shortcut : Ctrl+Shift+H

Would that work for you ?

Does the recent history list extend to the bottom of the window and there isn't enough space for this menu item ?

Does this also happen with the bookmarks  ?

You can alternatively open the history menu.

  • you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily

Are you possibly using a userChrome.css file that could be causing this ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

I'm glad you got that button back (well done !), but why don't you just make it easy on yourself and use the keyboard shortcut ?

BTW: would you please mark your own post as Chosen Solution ? That way others, with the same problem, will know how to solve it.

I've marked my post as the Chosen Solution and I will be using Ctrl+Shift+H in future as it certainly is the easiest and quickest way to get to where I want! thanks
