Hi, I'm using Ffox 14.0.1 on a Dell optiplex (GX 620) . Yesterday I had to reboot, and when I re-opened the browser, all my history was gone. I checked the settings, but everything is untouched, and since the reboot, I'm not losing any more info. Lost about 6 months history, so I'm pretty unhappy about it. I guess there's not too many ways to restore it, but any ideas why it happened so it won't happen again? Thx.

Is is usually best not to rely on the history as that can be volatile and get lost as you've experienced, but bookmark pages by clicking the star on the location bar or use Bookmark All Tabs in the tab bar context menu.
Unfortunately there is no way to get back deleted or lost history.

There may be some data left in the cache (about:cache) that allows to reconstruct some of them.
