Comment on People who use firefox how do you see what website you visit on a specific date? (say on september 12) for me it just shows like this

  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.

      you can assume most people use the defaults

      why would most people bother to disable the history when most don’t even use ad blockers?

        I would imagine most people who aren’t using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.
