When I tried to find a web page from a certain date a few months ago, it was almost impossible to find.
I actually think Internet Explorer used to have quite a good history. That's what we need, not better tabs management.
Not to mention the UI for Firefox's history is pure garbage of the worst kind. The fact I have to go three menus deep just to open the history screen is bad, the fact that it isn't a screen and some kind of dumb pop-out /thing/ that cuts off content is terrible. No time-stamps either, or way to organize the flow of browsing (e.g. under what tab/window it was open in).
If it worked correctly it would still be bad. But it doesn't work correctly making it the worst part of Firefox right now, it has been broken for over a year.
PS - The history-missing bug is still active as of right now. Half of the pages I visited this morning just outright aren't listed at all. I was searching on google using a site: modifier and middle clicking open dozens of tabs, almost none are listed only the root searches.
History is never more than 2 clicks away:
- Open Library button, click History
- Open History menu (macOS)
Menu -> Library -> History -> View History
Which is four clicks by my count. In either case it is too many and the UI you get at the end is like a 1990s reject.
They should just make it a full tab like Chrome has.
