Firefox getting forgetful
Fred Nerd:
Hi,
I've used Firefox 3 for a long time, but recently I noticed it hasn't saved any history, and visited links are not coloured as such and the address bar doesn't have any recently visited sites.
I have AdBlockPlus, Flashblock and a couple of other minor add-ons (Foxytunes, forecast fox)
Any idea what is causing it? I could try turning one or the other off, but I think just disabling them doesn't help, and I like them too much to uninstall.
I have checked settings and its set to remember history for 90 days.
thanks

It could be another (privacy) app cleaning things up.
Fred Nerd:
I don't have any privacy apps (don't think so) I wear a tin hat and let the computer fend for itself. Maybe its the wrong way to do things, but that sounds like me...... :)
Lashiec:
Try creating a new profile (Open a "Run..." box and type "firefox -profilemanager"), and see if the problem persists with a clean profile. It's probably due to the corruption of your Places database (where Firefox stores navigation history and bookmarks).

Check tools->options, "privacy" tab. You should have the "remember my history" checked, otherwise it'll be forgetful :)
