My privacy settings are set to remember history, but it is not working. I just updated to version 46.0 and had problems with wordpress login and was told to clear my cache. I did this and when I restarted my computer and firefox, it will not save history at all.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If the Places Maintenance extension can't repair the places.sqlite database then remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
