Steps to reproduce:
Use a search engine and do a search on a term that you had previously looked up many times before.
Actual results:
The search engine result shows a list of links and short descriptions. There are multiple links that I had visited before - and say the color of 5 is different to show that I had visited them before. Now - say 4 out of those five were visited a couple of months ago, but one was visited last week - and is the most relevant to me today - right now - and I want to click it. I have to remember or figure out which one is the one I need to click.
Expected results:
Some way to indicate the last visited time of a link in addition to the changed color. A hover-up, tool tip, annotation ... some way ... to show "Visited on xxxxxx" or "Seen last week" or "Seen two years ago" ... "Seen on 12 Nov 2020" ...
Thanks for your kind consideration.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Your suggestion is really interesting and honestly the first time we saw it. This means it may not be a so common need among our users. These kind of functionality is usually left to add-ons. For example an add-on could add a menuitem in the context menu of links showing the last visit time.
You may try to ask in forums if add-on developers would be interesting into this.
In the product we don't plan to add this feature unless we see more requests for it among users.
