I see this in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050329
Firefox/1.0+

It only occurs if the page is already in the history (but not for today). If you
go to a site not in the history it gets added immediately.

Yes. My report was not accurate.
Thanks for your help.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

This is probably a dupe of bug 173676, this bug has a bit better summary
though. See bug 173676 comment 6.

Comment 6

I think this is invalid because  Places doesn't have
'By date and site' method.

Comment 7

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Though if you wait long enough, you can call it fixed, since the reinvention of Places as the backend with the current UI should give you a "View by site and date" that doesn't have this bug.

Latest trunk build doesn't have this problem any more.
New history sidebar based on the Places may fix it.
I confirmed Windows and Linux trunk build.
Marking worksforme.
