So I went to history, and then under "manage history" it organized it by "today", "yesterday", "last 7 days", "this month", "june", "may", "april", "march", "february" and "older than 6 months". And on right clicking on today, there was a drop down menu that was "open all in tabs", "delete" and "copy". "Copy" was super duper worthless, it literally just copied the word "today" into the clipboard, in case I really wanted to paste the word "today" the hard way into notepad or something. I wanted to then test if I could delete the history from just today without deleting the entire history, so FOOL that I am, I tried the delete choice. And what did it do? It deleted the ENTIRE CATEGORY of "today". Now it just says "yesterday", "last 7 days", "this month", "june", "may", "april", "march", "february" and "older than 6 months". Because it seems to think that by deleting "today", that means I NEVER AGAIN want to access any history of that day, of COURSE that must be what I intended to do when I chose delete. It couldn't possibly be that I wanted to delete the browsing history of today July 9 2021, no of course not, I must have wanted to delete the entire category of "today" for all time, why would anyone want to just delete the history of that day when they can delete the entire functionality of the browser to display any of the history of the current day ever again. I'm trying to imagine what was going through the developers' heads here. So, can I, get it back somehow? I'm not going using that computer now, in case something can be done to undo this that won't work if I do anything.

Do you still have the Library window open? You could try on the little menu bar

Organize > Undo

Or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z.

But I imagine Firefox should have regenerated that category once you accumulated some new history to show in it. No?

Note that Copy Today places JSON code (text/x-moz-place) on the clipboard that you can use to create a so called smart bookmarks folder when pasted as a bookmark:

{"title":"Today","id":-1,"itemGuid":"","instanceId":"y32_DlpEWr-b","type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:type=0&sort=4&beginTime=1625868000000000&endTime=1625954400000000"}

Copy Downloads works similar and also can be used to create a dynamic smart folder when pasted as a bookmark:

{"title":"Downloads","id":-1,"itemGuid":"downloads__v","instanceId":"y32_DlpEWr-b","type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:transition=7&sort=4"}

There is no backup for the History like there is for the bookmarks, so once you have deleted the history for Today then this only leaves the disk cache and possibly "History -> Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".
