Firefox shows tabs in history that I did not open.
Every day, several tabs are visible in the history of my browser that I did not open. I checked this several times.
What is it and how to fix it?

Can you take a screenshot of some of those entries?

Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
Thank you!
It is possible that these pages were opened in a frame on some website as is done quite often. You can sort the history by last visit date to see what pages you opened during that time.

Sure, I have attached a screenshot to the question. There are two sites that appear every day. The second one I did not use several years and the first one I used last month.

What does "a frame on some website" mean?
A website can embed content from other website like a advertisement or a YouTube video.
When third-party content is embedded this way in an iframe then you can still see these pages listed in the history although you aren't visiting them directly.
