I wander thru a number of tumblr blogs on a daily basis. And today I found all tumblr items gone from my history. Also, no completion in the URL bar for the tumblr sites that are gone from the history.

About:cache

you can search for any existing urls from tumbler here, however if the history is no longer there, they might not exist in the places.sqlite file anymore where they are stored. (IF you have a back up you can restore them)

In order to keep this from happening again, [Back up and Restore information in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles]
