Stop firefox clearing download memory
Firefox 38.0.5 I have unticked the box "clear history when firefox closes" but it still removes all the download history.. how do I make it stop doing this ?
Chosen solution
open "about:config" (paste without quotes to urlbar and press ENTER) if warning appears click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
paste (without quotes) "privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads" into the search double-click it to set it to false
then paste "privacy.cpd.downloads" into the search double-click it to set it to false.
First option controls clearing your downloads when closing FF. Second option if set to false will not clear your downloads history when you choose to manually clean history.
Download something, restart FF click on downloads button then click on show all downloads to see your previous downloads.
