Safari tab names don't show

This is how my safari looks right now, the tab names are missing and my mac doesn't save the pages i visit in my history. when i press "t" in the bar, twitter would show up automatically but right now it's like as if all my page history has been deleted, i need to complete writing the link and no suggestions show up. This has happened before and i couldn't find any solutions to this problem. i think it resolved on it's own and i couldn't do anything about it but right now it happened again. What can i do to prevent having this problem in the future?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
