Firefox vers 56 History not cleaning

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

I cannot get Firefox history fully cleaned. The History tab shows the history as clean, but when I run Ccleaner and then open Firefox again, the last page I was on opens or sometimes FF will say, sorry something went wrong, reload last page visited and give a history of pages.

Apparently since the newest FF update, there is a cache file somewhere not getting wiped.

If I revert back to previous FF version (using 53.0), it does not happen. This occurs with the latest CC update (5.29.6033) and previous versions.

Is this something Piriform is aware of and fixing?

Latest ccleaner is 5.35

since FF is changing how/where things are stored, CC is constantly playing catchup.

making sure your CC version is as new as possible will reduce your chances of it no longer being relevant to those FF changes.

Thanks for the response.

When I click the Check for Updates link at the bottom of CC, it tells me that I have the latest edition.

I don't always go scouring websites to fact check as I don't usually have time, so I take the message at face value.

anyway, I just installed vs 5.35

Unfortunately, Its still doing the same thing.

Same here. Have the latest CCleaner installed but FF is not cleaning entirely.

It's a change in FF56.

I posted in another thread which file is causing this.

Sorry can't paste a link on this phone, search my recent posts to find it.

Quickest fix is to untick Firefox 'sessions' in CCleaner.

That's the one thanks Hazel.

At an engagement party today, normal service will be resumed when I sober up.

do we even want to know why, during an engagement party, you are checking the Piriform forum on your phone??? :P

must be a hell of a party?

The band was pissing about setting up, did half a song had an argument and went outside for half an hour.

All the best bands fight.

So I had a quick look about online.

Sorry I hadn't updated my post sooner.

The other thread linked above led me to a fix that is working for me.

Rather than un-ticking the Sessions box in FF, I added a file in Options/Include.

C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{ProfileFolderName)\sessionstore.jsonlz4

Now FF opens to my home page as usual and bypasses that annoying Session Restore page.

Thanks for the info earlier.

The new CC version, v5.36.6278, has fixed this now so you should be able remove your exclusion.

I have removed the exclusion that I put on and FF still opens to my homepage rather than the last session.

Alright, thanks for the update.
