Dear Firefox Team!

Please add time fixation in history - i mean what time i opened the web page and how long i stayed there.

There is such item in Opera and Chrome.

And this will be very useful in our Firefox.

 

Thank in advance,

Mike

I agree that something must be done to allow timestamps to be viewed for each web page in the history panel. Firefox is a wonderful browser, but the history panel is its biggest weakness... all other browsers organize history better than Firefox does. Putting timestamps would a minimum first step, with hopefully more to come to make the history feature more usable.

An option to see the exact time and date in history tab

Will this be added? It would be awesome to see the exact time and date in history without having to use a third-party program to do it.  🙂

  1. Open the  "Library"  (CTRL+SHIFT+O)
  2. Select "History" in the Left pane
  3. In the Main Panel,  right click on the table header (Name, Tags, Location ...) 
  4. In the context menu check "Added" / "Last Modified"

Was this what you where looking for?

Nope. If I check "added", it shows nothing at that category. If I check last motified, yes, it works, but that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to know when I visited that page last time.

Well, I don't know why they think it's a good idea to open the history in a sidebar in the first place, but I find it funny that it's the same reason I stopped using Microsoft Edge and migrated to Mozilla in the first place. I mean, maybe I'm the exception, but I think most people can't browse their social media, watch a movie, or read an article while checking their history. Either way, for those of us who can't focus our attention in 2 places at once like chameleons, these changes should be optional, not forced. And if this is not possible, at least leave the additional information about visited sites (date and time) and don't hide/delete the oldest visits if they're repeated.

hey folks good afternoon 🙂

actually in history of firefox there is not time of website visited (it's only divided by date). Can you add time?

And worse, looking for history if I click on a link (that "should be" the correct link I looking for) history refreshed because that link going at the top of history. The result is that I have to re-search from start and scroll again history 😕 it's a bug imho.

thanks

Add Date and Time to Search History

It would be valuable to see the timestamp for the last time you visited a site once you find it in Firefox history. Since the pages can be ordered chronologically, this information has a high chance of already being latently stored in the browser.

This feature could be useful for us users' context, clearly displaying the amount of time we stay on a single site, the chronology of sites we've browsed, and the last time we revisited a topic. An although I've recently become an adult, it could also be useful for parental control features, although it feels like a bit of a betrayal to suggest.

As using Firefox since the end of 2004, I have always switched browsers when placing orders or other critical site visits as often I need to correlate time with other activities. For sure others monetize my visits. This being said, I also use Firefox for extensions like color matching that no one else offers.
