I opened the places.sqlite file in Firefox SQLite Manager plug in. I can see the Last_Date_Visited field and can see it is a very large Integer. I need to be able to decode the date and time out of this field for a Human Resources matter. Thanks

hello AlanMcGee, you can use a site like www.epochconverter.com in order to convert the timestamps into a human-readable format.

You can also consider to run a query in the SQLite Manager extension to decode an entry.
You can add more columns as required and adjust the like parameter.

SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%google.com%'
