While browsing, frequently i meet a page which at first looks is interesting but not too much. so i don't bookmark it. a couple of days later i want to find it, and searching through history is terribly laborious.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
having an option to 'FLAG CURRENT PAGE IN HISTORY LIST' would be fantastic.

it would allow me to easily spot interesting pages i've visited over the last weeks while browsing through the history, without needing to fill my bookmarks with lots of links i'll probably never use.

You might want to check out Fx3b2 when it is released. History and Bookmarks have taken on a sort of unified state.
Note particularly the "Star" that allows you to easily flag pages in one click without having to actually file them away. If you're looking at your history and spot something you recall as being interesting, open it and "Star" it.

This is a won't fix for Firefox 2.0.0.x
