I updated my Firefox Browser v 13 to v 14. However, after this my history got deleted without my deleting it. So I had to manually type each letter of my favourite sites.

But this problem keeps recurring. For example, I might visit gmail.com many times to appear on my most visited list; but after some time, the history will get deleted, and once again I will have to reenter each word of my site.

Hi,

Please check these in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Privacy:

The current option chosen beside Firefox will:

Always use Private browsing mode isn't selected.

If Clear history when Firefox closes is visible and selected, Browsing History under Settings shouldn't be selected.

Under Location Bar History or History and Bookmarks should be selected.

Options > Privacy

If the problem persists, Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can then Reset Firefox on the old (previous) profile via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

Shit, Firefox keeps deleting history after each upgrade! This problem seems to drag on and on, I am already scared of upgrading! Is it so hard to fix this problem??? IT'S REALLY VERY ANNOYING....

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
