327413 - Illogical Group-By function in history

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233773

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Mike DeFrijers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Viewing history in "group by date&site"-mode gives only a few folders (branches):
today, yesterday ... older than 6 days.
For users who need to hold a history of more days (e.g. 45 days) it is very 
time-consuming to report all visited pages for a special date.

Please install the logic in the code that the number of folders is corresponding to user-setting "keep history for xxx days".

This "feature" must be hard-coded, because in no part of expanded code any hint could by find. Also a few of extension-developer we contact are not able, to build an extension that can override this "illogical" function.

We consider this as a bug in coding - not in performing.

when user tells firefox "store history for 20 days", the history-manager should display in grouped-by-mode 
today, yesterday, 1 day, 2 days, .... 19 days, older than 19 days.
