Why is my address bar no longer retaining past sites that I have visited?
My address bar used to save frequently used web addresses in a dropdown menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the very right of the address bar. Without warning, it now only retains the addresses I visit during a specific session. At the end of each session, the Dropdown memory is wiped clean. Why did this happen and how do I repair this huge inconvenience???

mha007: The steps mentioned above are the default firefox settings. I have the same settings and still the address bar is not retaining the previously browsed sites. This problem has started after upgrading to 6.0.2 I am currently on Windows 7 Starter for my netbook

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Also make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.
