I want to monitor the downstream to my computer cause it's going up suddenly. I tried to use Web Historian but it doesn't work with firefox 5 and up.

Thanks

Thanks but actually, what i would like to do is search in the history file in FIREFOX 17 to look where the excess downstream is coming from. I didn't change the way i use the internet so i wounder where this data is coming from and for what. With Web Historian from Mandiant, I'm able to read the history.dat file and it shows us where the data is coming from (How much, when, etc.). It doesn't work with FIREFOX 17 so i was wondering if it's possible to do so with another program. The addon that you sent me are not able to do so. Hope you'll have something for me.

Thanks for your help

history.dat hasn't been used in Firefox in like 4 or 5 years; the places.sqlite replaced history.dat in Firefox 3.0.
