My history has no sites listed after May. http://s1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/cashcow2/?action=view&current=History.jpg

This has only happened since the last update. FF version 5.0 Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2

Chosen solution

Several simple first things.

When you have used Firefox for a while, and before you close it, see if there is any history shown. If there is, go to Options>Privacy>uncheck Clear history when Firefox closes.

Is your Firefox button orange. If it is a bluish color you are in Private Browsing mode and history won't be recorded. In the Firefox button check Private Browsing(or if you have the Menu Bar showing>Tools>Stop Private Browsing).

Also check Options>Privacy>make sure you are not in Permanent Private Browsing Mode. Does any one else use your computer?

Thank you. Private browsing was enabled (no idea how unless by default) & noone else uses this PC.

Thanks for your help.
