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!

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

See also:

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.

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.
