Steps to Reproduce
in the recently closed, you'll see the expected minutes, hours, days ago. but then the pattern breaks when it switches to "last month". i know that sept is literally last month but in my relative view of time, it was also the end of last week - not even 7 days ago. so it feels a bit jarring even though technically it's true.
Expected Behavior
Not sure how much control we have over the relative date format, or if it can expand to "last week" versus "last month" for things 6<n<14 days
Actual Behavior
A date that was 6 days ago shows as "last month".

Reproduced the issue described in comment 0 using an old Nightly build from (2022-09-07). Verified that we now identify as week or x weeks when the visited closed website is one or more weeks old (even when that particular week is split between two months) using latest Firefox 106.0b5 across platforms (Windows 10, Ubuntu 21.04 and macOS 11.6).
