Hi Firefox,

A site I visited recently moved to another URL. Is there a way to edit my browser history so I can still be able to keep track of which pages I have visited?

For example:

if I have visited

https://site-old.com/topic1/page1.html https://site-old.com/topic1/page2.html

I want my browser history to also contain

https://site-new.com/topic1/page1.html https://site-new.com/topic1/page2.html

So I can see that I have already visited the page1 and page2 on topic1 as the link color would be purple

Would I be able to script something in a developer console and achieve that? Or would I need to program a plugin?

thanks!

First, use I use python to save the history into a json file

 import os
 import sqlite3
 from urllib.parse import urlparse
 # fill in your own values
 user = "<user>"
 profile_dir = "<profile_dir>"
 source_site = "<source_site>"
 target_site = "<target_site>"
 ###
 data_path = f"C:\\Users\\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profile_dir}"
 files = os.listdir(data_path)
 history_db = os.path.join(data_path, 'places.sqlite')
 c = sqlite3.connect(history_db)
 ## the following is from trial an error - super messy and require cleanup... but it works
 cursor = c.cursor()
 select_statement = f"select title, url, rev_host, visit_count, favicon_id, frecency, last_visit_date, description, site_name from moz_places where url like \"https://{source_site}%\";"
 cursor.execute(select_statement)
 query_results = cursor.fetchall()
 result = []
 file_counter = 0
 for title, url, rev_host, visit_count, favicon_id, frecency, last_visit_date, description, site_name in query_results:
     parsed = urlparse(url)
     replaced_raw = parsed._replace(netloc=target_site)
     replaced = replaced_raw.geturl()
     site_name = replaced_raw.scheme + "://" + replaced_raw.hostname
     item = {
         "site": site_name,
         "title": title,
         "url": replaced[len(site_name):]
     }
     result.append(item)
     if len(result) == 300:
         with open(f"result{str(file_counter).rjust(5, '0')}.json", "w") as out:
             json.dump(result, out)
         result = []
         file_counter = file_counter + 1
 with open(f"result{str(file_counter).rjust(5, '0')}.json", "w") as out:
     json.dump(result, out)


Then assign that variable to a variable named pages in console window

 pages = <ctrl + v>
 pages.forEach(page => {
     site = page.site
     title = page.title
     url = page.url
     history.pushState(site, title, url)
 })

updated as followed

Note that each iteration can only insert 200 entries in history otherwise we get "Too many calls to Location or History APIs within a short timeframe." I tried to find any configuration that fixes this issue but I cannot
