Open the actual history window.
HOW i would love to not use this watered down nonfunctional piece of shit
Control+Shift+H or you can find the link to it in the history menu in the main Firefox menu. Or at the bottom of the history menu from the history button if you add it to your toolbar. Or in the Library section if you use that menu/button.
The sidebar is a cut down overview.
Same for bookmarks, the full bookmark screen has more depth and features than the sidebar.
There’s a more detailed view if you go to History > Manage history, or press Ctrl+Shift+H
The problem is you have to know the approximate timeframe of your last visit - eg. If it was in the past week it may not be searchable in other categories such as *more than 3 months ago".
… likewise, if you can still find it by going to a currently open tab and hitting"back" enough times, it may not have been addded to history yet.
Firefox’s history is a little idiosyncratic. One of the less polished parts of the browser.
One of the less polished parts of the browser.
Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.
U can write sql against the search history db i believe
Maybe sort by “date” instead of date & site?
That just groups them all by month, sorted alphabetically. It should me called “by month”, not “by date”.
This is the weirdest fucking thing about Firefox. How is its history menu so goddamn horrible and why hasn’t it been fixed.
There’s a detailed history window? The sidebar isn’t it; just a quick overview. Control+Shift+H for the full history screen. It’s also in the menus under history, at the bottom. Like the full bookmark window is control+shift+B and linked at the bottom of the bookmarks menu.
I don’t
