How can I restore my browsing history for "today" which I accidentally deleted?
I had not closed my browser so I tried in the Library to "undo" which was not an option. I also tried to find a file "places.sqlite.corrupt" but no file exists. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you

Undo in the Library only works for bookmarks and not for history. There is no backup for history, so if you remove history then the only way to restore is to use an older copy of places.sqlite.
You can check in Windows Explorer if there is a previous version of the file available.
- right-click: Properties -> Previous Versions

You can look at this utility to browse System Restore points.
- System Restore Explorer: http://nicbedford.co.uk/software/systemrestoreexplorer/
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
