Problem with Firefox 3.0.11 Tabs and History

To solve the problem when Firefox 3.0.11 does not save tabs and history. (I don't know if this works for other versions.)

• Select the Tools menu.
• Select Options.
• Select Privacy.
• In the Private Data section, de-select "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox."
• Select "Ask me before clearing private data."
• Click "Settings" button.
• De-select "Browsing History" box.
• Select OK, OK to exit and save changes.

When you quit Firefox, it will ask "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?"

• Make sure "Do not ask next time." is de-selected.
• If you select "Save and Quit" your tabs and history will be restored when you open Firefox again.
• If you select "Quit" your tabs will be cleared but your history will be saved.

To manually clear your browsing history before exiting Firefox:

• Select the Tools menu.
• Select the Browsing History Box.
• Click the "Clear Private Data Now" button: this will clear your browsing history.
• If you "Save and Quit" your tabs will be restored and your history will be clear when you next open Firefox.
• If you "Quit" your tabs and history will both be cleared.
