In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

I'm 100% swearing that it does save my bookmark history in the order I saved it and I have it as never remember history. You can't right click and delete it from the history. I suppose you could delete the bookmark, but that would defeat the purpose.

You can't right click and delete it from the history.

I tried it before commenting. You can.

But if it's saving your history while being set otherwise, it sounds like you have a config issue.

Okay, could my firefox be compromised? A couple of years ago I couldn't update from the menu and I had to delete it and reinstall form their site. A couple of months ago my computer wouldn't update and now everyone is saying that something I'm 100% sure of is happening to me, isn't happening to them or I'm not explaining it correctly. This seems eerily similar to the couple of years ago thing.

It's going to be hard to diagnose, ultimately (e.g. what system are you running it on? What version of Firefox is it?). But the short answer is: it's always possible something is compromised. You could uninstall it completely and reinstall fresh from Mozilla (again), in which case you should see identical behavior to what myself and others have mentioned.

It's updated to the last one but this has been happening for a long time so I guess it could have been carried through. All of you are so adamant that what I'm obviously seeing isn't what you're seeing, that I think I need to do that. I had to give photo evidence last time, lol.

I do remember someone else having the same issues when I looked for a solution, so that's kind of strange too.
