History isn't keeping many webpages
After I created a new profile and made few other adjustments from help late in this thread forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=14754153. I thought everything was working but since then I've noticed the history doesn't list/log/keep all the webpages I visit. For example, it doesn't keep visits to any pages on this website. It keeps some sites and not other. Any, ideas?

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
Do you sometimes open links in a private tab? Private tabs don't keep traces of where they've been.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a "private tab" is.

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
There is private Window and Private Tab... some info on it..
Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history | Firefox Help
It could also be that you installed an extension that auto-handles some of your private browsing???
Also, check in your Tools/Options and the Privacy Tab... do you have the 'Always use private browsing mode' checked in error?

I don't find an 'Always use private browsing mode' option in my Privacy Tab. There's an "Always apply Do Not Track" but it isn't checked.

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
You have it set to "Remember History" not "Use custom settings for history"
Click on the down arrow to the right of 'Firefox will'..for option.

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
After you changed it and it has all those boxes that Dan posted a screen-shot of... were they in fact checked?
Also, do you use something like CCleaner in your system?

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
Okay, I have time to work on this some more. My history is still not recording many sites I visit.
In my reply to him I posted my Privacy screen and it doesn't look anything like the one he posted.dfoulkes wrote:After you changed it and it has all those boxes that Dan posted a screen-shot of... were they in fact checked

Re: History isn't keeping many webpages
And after selecting "Use custom settings for history" can you still not see the "Always use private browsing mode" to make sure it's not selected?

Now, I understand. Sorry, I didn't realize it would change my Privacy screen. Here's my screen now:DanRaisch wrote:And after selecting "Use custom settings for history" can you still not see the "Always use private browsing mode" to make sure it's not selected?

Thanks, but nothing in the 8 bullets describe my problem.
