Items in my history are not latest first ...?

FF has been running a bit slow lately, so I had a look at my History. In the over 6 months section it said it had 32,768 items in it... That's a lot. So I deleted them all.

There are 2 or 3 specific web pages I access pretty much every day. I don't bother bookmarking them, because all I need to do is type "/all" or "sk=" and FF offers me the page I want, top of the list because I access it so much.

But now I don't get offered the page. That page was obviously stored in the "Over 6 months" section of the history, even though I had accessed them the previous day.

Surely the way it should work is that a page I accessed yesterday should be in the History for yesterday... Is there a convenient way of dealing with this?

The History Manager displays listings by a choice made in the manager.

Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. Click on the header you want the list sorted by. Other headers are available when you right-click the header bar.

My point is that the History Manager appears to categorise pages according to when they were first accessed, not when they were last accessed. Thus, a page which I find very useful and which I access every day will be deleted if I delete everything in the Older Than 6 Months section.

It would be much more helpful - for me at least - if the History Manager sorted pages according to when they were last accessed. Is there any way of doing this?

Did you remove a specific web page from this domain (domain expanded) or did you remove the domain itself and included all items from this domain?

History items that you access a lot of times can show in any section in the Library, so it is quite easy to remove such an item accidentally. To avoid that you would have to sort the history by visit date and start deleting the bottom up. You can do this in the history sidebar. Note that you can do a copy and paste of history items to a bookmarks folder.

I deleted everything in the "Older than 6 months" section. I thought I was deleting items I had NOT accessed in over 6 months.

It's a shame that this is necessary. Your method would not move the pages I want from the "Older than 6 months" section to "Today".

Many thanks. I have installed that, and it is working fine for me.
