Firefox browsing History will not show - HELP, Please!
Firefox browsing History will not show - HELP, Please!
My computer is a 3 week old 21.5" mid-2017 iMac running OS 10.13.2 High Sierra.
I was able to import all my Firefox bookmarks from my 2009 iMac - but Firefox browsing History will not show - all preferences and settings are set to show History - but it doesn't show.
In Firefox Preferences / History I have it set to Remember History. I have also tried Firefox Preferences / History set to Use custom settings for history and checked these boxes: X Remember my browsing and download history and X Remember search and form history and X Accept cookies from websites. That didn't work.
I tried eliminating and re-installing Firefox - that didn't work.
I signed up to synch with my other iMac, a 2009 where the Firefox browser shows all browsing history - and then signed in to Synch the new iMac with the 2009 - it still won't show history.
I do not use the Private Browsing mode.
Please see attached screenshot of what I see when I click on History / Show all history. The only thing it shows are dates - from before I turned on the new computer. There is no January 2018 - and all the 2017 dates you see - there is no history for last year as well.
Help, Firefox users! I hope that someone can help me figure out what the problem is here!

Here is the image I see when I click on History.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks 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

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
