I use history to go back to sites I have visited but history only shows where I have been in the current session. It only has todays sites to choose from and those are only from the current session. I.e if i go to a site in the morning and go to visit it in the afternoon there is no trace of it. I share this computer and dont want to clutter up the bookmarks page.

Are you clearing history when shutting down Firefox? Check in Options > Privacy and see if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is checked. If so, click the Settings button and see what is set to be cleared.
