233773 - RFE: History component from Mozilla, more finite history categories

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 390614

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

History feature seems to be a little lacking; specifically, my complaints are:

Searching history greater than 6 days old can become a bit unwieldy with the
current design. Is there any reason for lumping older history together under a
'greater than 6 days old' heading?

A better way to sort the history tab would be every day having its history
stored together, e.g. every day is stored under a distinct heading rather than
all history being stored under 'Greater than 6 days ago'.

Additionaly, selecting a history period of 36500 days (~100 years) seems to
break the history function, and causes the browser to retain history for "today"
only. I want to call Mozilla Firebird/Phoenix/Firefox/? the browser for the next
100 years!
