No, Firefox stores the history in a places.sqlite database file and if you delete data then that gets removed from the file.
If you haven't closed Firefox then you can try to use Organize > Undo (Ctrl+Z) if you by deleted something by accident.
Otherwise you can consider your data as lost unless you have a backup copy of places.sqlite.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
Tragically, yes these answers are(n't) helpful. But I did (re)learn a valuable lesson. !pu kcaB
An 'Are you sure?' nag screen might be helpful here; my machine hiccuped at the moment I was deleting ONE, and poof---all gone bye-bye...
Damn!
