When it comes to your life online, you have a choice: accept the factory settings or put your privacy first. When you choose Firefox as your default browser, you’re choosing to protect your data while supporting an independent tech company. Firefox is also the only major browser backed by a non-profit fighting to give you more openness, transparency and control of your life online. Get Firefox, a free web browser backed by Mozilla, a non-profit dedicated to internet health and privacy. Available now on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Return to the main browser window by tapping the “Back” button on your device to get to the main browser window. Tap on ☰ and scroll down to “Quit.” Firefox will perform the actions specified to clear your private data. You may need to tap on “More” or slide the menu down to show the option. Mediocre UX I use Firefox on my desktop every day and love it, best browser that combines power with privacy. On mobile it is not quite as appealing. It does just fine at being a browser, and the built-in privacy features are nice, but the UX falls a bit short.

In Firefox, the History menu displays a short list of recently visited web pages. You can view your complete browsing history by opening the History sidebar or, starting in Firefox 3, by viewing History from the Library window.

Feb 10, 2021 Mozilla Firefox is a popular Web browser available on a variety of platforms. Its code DNA reaches back to the dawn of the World Wide Web and has shaped other software and software companies.

Library

In Firefox 3.0 and above, opening the History menu and selecting 'Show All History' opens the Library window with History selected. You can also open the Library window from the Bookmarks menu via 'Show All Bookmarks' ('Organize Bookmarks' prior to Firefox 4) and select 'History' in the left pane, or you can use the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+Shift+H' ('Cmd+Shift+H' on Mac OS). In Firefox 3.0, History is displayed as a list of visited web pages. This is may not be as useful to you, however, as the History sidebar (see below), where you can view visited pages sorted by date and site.

In Firefox 3.5 and above, the Library window groups History by day visited (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, This month, or a specific month). Selecting one of the available groupings in the left pane displays a list of visited pages for that time period, as shown below. [1]

Library - History in Firefox 4

Note that Bookmarks and History are stored in the same location (in the places.sqlite database file) and both History and Bookmarks are accessible from the Library window. The Search box searches on both Name (page title) and Location (web address or 'URL'). The search applies to all History items or all Bookmark items but never to both. To be sure which you are searching, look for 'Search History' or 'Search Bookmarks' (in gray) in the Search box, before entering your search term.

Note: You can view all History items by entering a character in the Library window 'Search History' box that is common to all entries, such as a colon (':') or forward slash ('/'). Since all web addresses (URLs) include those characters, all History items will be displayed. (This also works for Bookmarks.) [2] This can also be useful in getting item counts.

The Library List is shared by both History ('Ctrl+Shift+H') and Bookmarks ('Ctrl+Shift+B'). In order to see something enter a search argument any string of characters from the name or location(url). If you want to see everything enter a colon (':'). Select your search from 'Bookmarks' or 'History'. The left side panel does not include detail so the indicator that says there is more inside refers to directory/folder entries not to detail items as in the History('Ctrl+H') and Bookmarks('Ctrl+B') sidebars.

In the History Library window ('Ctrl+Shift+H'), you can click on any column header to sort by that column (click a second time to reverse the order), and you can rearrange columns by dragging the column header. You can view additional columns by right-clicking on a column heading or via the Views menu (Show Columns). In addition to Name and Location, you can also select Visit Date (last) and Visit Count.

The Bookmarks Library window('Ctrl+Shift+B') is similar: In addition to Name and Location, Visit Date (last) and Visit Count(from History), you can also see: Keyword, Tags, Description, Added (date), and Last Modified. The | Show Parent Folder extension provides for a Parent Folder column for bookmarks, unlike the other columns, it is not sortable.

Your sort column choice will be retained for the next time you bring up the Library List. If you do not want to sort on any column then use the Views menu (in the Library List), Sort, Unsorted -- then listing will be in the same order as your bookmarks (and history) sidebar, and the left side of the Library list. Sorting in the Library has no effect of the actual order of your bookmarks in the sidebar and is only meant for viewing in a different order in the Library.

History sidebar

In Firefox 2, the History sidebar was accessible from the History menu, by selecting 'Show in Sidebar'. Starting in Firefox 3, this menu item is no longer included in the History menu but you can open the History sidebar in other ways, as explained below.

Note: Selecting 'History -> Show All History' in Firefox 3 opens the Library window (see above)

Opening the History sidebar

1. In the Firefox menu, click on View (on Windows, if the menu bar is hidden, press the Alt key to show it temporarily):
2. Select Sidebar
3. Click on History

You can customize the toolbar by adding a History button, so that you can open the History sidebar with one click.

You can also open the History sidebar using the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+H' (Windows and Linux) or 'Cmd+Shift+H' (Mac OS).

Changing the view order

To change how the History sidebar displays visited pages, open the History sidebar and click on View (to the right of the Search box). A drop-down menu will open with the view options listed. You can sort the list of visited pages by Date and Site (as shown above), by Site, by Date, by Most Visited, or by Last Visited.

Selecting history items

Selections without invoking the page can be made within the History display, by clicking to the left of the favicon (webpage icon) in the list.

Adding additional selections - multiple selections

You may then use the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+A' (use 'Cmd+A' on Mac OS) to select all that are shown, or you can add more with Ctrl+click again at the left of another item's favicon, or extend a selection with Shift+click.

Using avogadros law. For multiple selections, the context menu displays 'Open All in Tabs', 'Copy', and 'Delete'. When using 'Open All in Tabs' suggest you proceed from a new tab ('Ctrl+T'), as the first item in the selection will load into the active tab.

Deleting history items

You can delete selected History items, which is useful if you want to remove unwanted items or reduce clutter in the Location Bar autocomplete drop-down list (this will not affect your bookmarks).

After selecting the unwanted items, open the context menu (i.e., right-click a selected item) and click 'Delete', as shown here for Firefox 3 on Windows (or press the Delete key) to remove them from your browsing history. You can alternately context-click (right-click) on individual items and select 'Delete' from the context menu.

Deleting most recent of browsing history, or a time interval of browsing history

Use View menu to sort by 'By Last Visited' then select and delete the recent range of activity.

Deleting Google searches from browsing history so not shown in Location bar Autocomplete

Eliminate Google searches 'http://www.google.com/search?' from history and then do the same for 'http://www.google.com/advanced_search?'

Deleting MozillaZine editing entries and similar unwanted items
Eliminate MozillaZine editing entries: 'zine kb php?title editing'
Eliminate support.mozilla.com questions list entries 'support.moz questions?filter page='

Deleting '404 Not Found' entries from Location Bar autocomplete

Eliminate '404 Not Found' entries by typing that string into the History search box, use 'Ctrl+A'(use 'Cmd+A' on Mac OS) to select all of results, then use the Delete key to remove.

Deleting selected history contains will fail (Bug 493062)

Foxfire Browser For Mac

Deleting multiple selected history containers such as in View 'By Date and Site', 'By Site' and 'By Date' will only delete the first of the selected containers. There is no problem deleting individual items as in View 'By Most Visited' and 'By Last Visited' as in earlier example shown above within this topic.

Clearing the browsing history

If you want to clear all of your browsing history, you can do so in Firefox options/preferences, via 'Tools -> Options -> Privacy / Private Data -> Settings' (Firefox 3.0) or from 'Tools -> Clear Recent History' in Firefox 3.5 but it might be easier to just bring up the History sidebar, use 'Ctrl+A' (use 'Cmd+A' on Mac OS) to select all listed items, then press the Delete key.

Deleting site history

Deleting history for an entire site (web site).

• 'Forget About This Site' (built-in) on history context menu. All history items (browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logons, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images, pop-ups) for that site will be removed.[3](loss of passwords)
• 'Delete Site History' extension adds 'Delete History of This Site' entry to history context menu, to delete all browsing history for a site.

View History in a tab or window

You can enter the following chrome URL in the Location Bar, to view the History in a tab or window instead of in the History sidebar:

Chrome URLs can be bookmarked and used in keyword bookmarks, but can't be used in links.

Finding recent web page

Worst case, suppose you were just editing a page, and misplaced it; hopefully, it is still open somewhere so that you still have your work in progress (first three items). If not you still want to find the page.

• Check Open tabs with an AwesomeBar search of tabs, the percent sign will limit search to tabs other than the active tab. So if the page you are working on somewhere had 'editing' and 'zine' in the title or url you might try the following in the location bar without hitting Enter so you can see the drop-down. % editing zine
• History Menu may find your page in the open or recently closed
• List all Tabs button on the tabs strip
• There are also 'recent' categories at the bottom of the History Menu.
• History Sidebar ('Ctrl+H') then in upper right corner of sidebar use View by 'Last visited'. If you were editing won't pick up your edit in progress but you will get back to the page, perhaps some of the entry boxes will automatically fill in if it was a registration form.
• AwesomeBar search without or with restrictions
• Bookmarks sidebar ('Ctrl+B'), the AwesomeBar type searching works in History and Bookmarks sidebars and Library list as well.

Note: In Firefox 4.0 the Back/Forward toolbar button no longer displays a drop-down button, use right-click, or hold the left-click for 1 second. Older items within the tab are at the bottom of the list with the current position indicated by a globe.[4]

Privacy options

Firefox has expanded its definition of 'history' to mean more than just your browsing history. Firefox groups the option for remembering browsing history together with options for remembering form history, download history, and cookies. In Firefox 3.0 and above, you also have an option to clear such 'private data' from the Tools menu ('Tools -> Clear Recent History' in Firefox 3.5).

Privacy options ('Tools -> Options -> Privacy') control how long Firefox will retain browsing history, whether it will retain download history, search and form history, and what cookies will be accepted and for how long. You can indicate which items should be cleared when Firefox closes (make sure to check Settings carefully if you choose to clear history when Firefox closes; otherwise, all browsing history may be removed). For additional information see the Firefox Support articles, Options window - Privacy panel, Clear Recent History, and Clearing private data.

Starting in Firefox 3.5, a 'Private Browsing' option is available in which Firefox does not save any browsing history, download history, web form history, cookies, or cache (however, file downloads and bookmarks you make will be saved). Firefox creates cookies like in a regular session, but all created cookies are session cookies and removed if you close that Private Browsing session. Cookie exceptions created while in Private Browsing mode are kept. See Private Browsing at Firefox Support for details.
