1890012 - History view show titles of webpages instead of URLs, allow toggle

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Laurent Lyaudet]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:124.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/124.0

Steps to reproduce:

I opened the history view with Ctrl-H and I typed the start of an URL.

Actual results:

I had 13 results with 4 titles. It was inconvenient/awkward to choose the path I was looking for. I had to hover over the titles with the mouse.

Expected results:

I should have an option to see the URL instead of the title (toggle list display setting) or add it just after the title.
