Any way to stop Firefox History from deleting revisits of sites?

Anytime I visit a site on Firefox, Firefox simply tabs any previous visits into Visit Count without letting me see the Visit History.

For instance, let's suppose I go to youtube.com (exact url) yesterday. I then go to it again today. The record of my original first visit to YouTube.com is now basically gone forever.

Now to me, this isn't just a big frustration, but it goes against the whole idea of history. To me, a big part of History is knowing when you first checked something out.

Any workaround for this to make Firefox either list all repeats or to show the visit log of a site?

Any add-on I can install or setting I can change to prevent this problem in the future?

Thanks. :)

Firefox only shows the latest visit of a specific URL and hides older visit. So the previous visits aren't lost, but merely hidden and are only used to calculate the visit count.
