1632377 - History should be available in an HTML page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[o lu]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

Killed all my tabs

Actual results:

Restarted. I should have used OneTab.

Expected results:

The history sidebar is not conducive to finding more than one page in your history and doesnt show enough information about the pages themselves. Opera and Chrome have HTML pages for history, although they both dont allow saving them. Please dont copy this behavior.

Setting a component for this enhancement in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.

From the looks of this bug, it seems that I don't really like the sidebar.
It is a good UI concept, though I think devs may be focusing on other issues.

If there is interest in pointing me in the right direction, I would like to try to implement an HTML History (about:history) functionality myself.

If so, be prepared for a lot of bugs ;) JK.

You can manage bookmarks and history from the library window, see here for how to access it: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/browsing-history-firefox. That has search available, and the facility to organise history and bookmarks.

You can do better. That is ugly.

Or, in the alternative, where is that code located?

Please forgive my comment if it is offensive. I just believe that the product should be as beautiful as possible.
