1955414 - Show website visit history

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Toolbar, enhancement)

Description

Firefox on desktop allows users to check how many times they’ve visited a website under Page Info → Security. Chrome on Android provides similar functionality by displaying visit history when tapping the info button in the toolbar. However, I haven’t found an equivalent feature in Fenix.

This is especially useful when encountering a login page for a website I have an account on. If it’s my first time visiting, I might need to be more cautious. If I’ve visited it many times before, I can be more confident it’s legitimate.

Adding this feature to Fenix would make it easier to spot phishing attempts and track previously visited sites, bringing it in line with other browsers.

I added some mockups for how this feature would look like in the new unified trust panel
