Hi,

   So the weird thing is my firefox is showing the top sites I've been to yesterday and the months before and I have gone to these sites to see if they remember what I've clicked on and they do but when I go to the dropdown toolbar for history it is only coming up for today's recent history and I have no idea why. I would like to have that previous history back as there's some sites I would like to go back on. The search bar is only coming up with those websites highlighted as well.

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off. and whatever else you want.
