441846 - History not granular enough - IE 6 is better :(

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 390614

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Allen Schaaf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

IE 6.0 allows for more granularity of sites visited by date. In my current view it shows the last six days, one week ago, two weeks ago, four weeks ago (I clean out things in IE regularly so I don't have a current listing of how granular it gets.) This is very useful as finding a site I recall that I visited more than 6 days ago but I don't recall the exact URL is very cumbersome in Firefox compared to IE.

In addition I notice that Firefox loses the "date last visited" while keeping date added. Additionally, when shorting by "date last visited" it is not truly by date last visited if items are in folders. This makes it really hard to find near past sites to look up something. As an example I visited a website which a had an HTML template about two weeks ago, now that I want to refer to I can not figure out when it was by date.

I believe I bookmarked it and now I can't find it there either. AARGH!

However, I will say that the organization of the bookmarks function is better, sort of. Hate the eye candy and as a person with vision issues would like a way that is easy to switch to an older style that is easier on the eyes. I find the current a bit of a strain after a while.
