Is there any way to view FF's browsing history according to the exact time (and date) that I viewed them i.e. in proper chronological order, webpage after webpage? AFAIK in the Bookmarks and History window, you are only informed about the last time you visited a particular page. For example, if you browse through Yesterday's history, links that you visited both yesterday as well as today will be thrown into Today's history, and will not appear under Yesterday's list.

In other words, is there any way to view the exact list of sites that I visited in time-sequential order?

I don't use firefox on my computer, so I wouldn't know.

Trying to delete something from your browser history are you? You naughty dog. :P

That option is only supported for websites that you've visited today, not the whole history. At least by default, without installing extensions.

I only wish it was that simple lol! You see, I'm having short term memory loss lately. I just got an email from an online transaction site saying there was a failed login attempt yesterday, and I know I did fail to login once, but I have the impression that I'd already deleted a similar email beforehand, so I'm trying to trace back my steps.

If I press Ctrl + H I get my complete History, chronologically sorted. (Quite handy if you are searching for the faq in offline mode ...).

It looks compelte from my end, and I've used it quite a lot recently, as my internet connection ist quite sloppy at the moment.

Go to the history menu, chose "show all history" (or press ctrl-shift-h). Go to the time frame you want, click the "Views" button and select Show Columns -> Visit Date. Now you can sort by date and time.

That's not it. The problem is if I'd visited that link at a later date than the particular date I'm looking into, Firefox seems to erase the record of me visiting the site on that particular date, and adds one to the view count, then only shows me the very last date that I visited the site on.

Ah well.
