I need to get the first date I accessed a page via link. In the browser history that date is displayed however when I click on that link again, the date gets updated to the current time. This destroys the original access date. Is it somehow possible to get a real history about each time an URL was visited?

If you open the Library window (3 line button > History > Manage History) that shows the history then right-click on the "Name" column, a dropdown of choices will appear. Click on "Added". That should add a new column that will show the very first date all items (history, bookmarks, downloads, tags) were added to the Library.

Read this article to find the Library window: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/browsing-history-firefox

On Linux you would have to use an SQLite browser tool with a appropriate SQLite query. On Windows there is a Nirsoft utility, but on Linux is this not possible.
