Open the History Manager <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> H.

At the top left, press the Views button. Then Columns Colums.

EDIT: Make that Show Columns.

Ah, great... Typed a whole, comprehensive, answer and then hit Backspace outside of the box, geez. :/

Maybe this can, somehow (?!), be of any help!?

Mark the Columns you want to see when the window is open.

Hi kgb

Are you on Mac as well?

You can disable that backspace action by setting this pref to 2 on the about:config page.

  • browser.backspace_action = 2

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Note that the problem from the original poster hasn't been solved yet, so maybe kgb should create a new thread to avoid confusion.


Hi robt17

Do you see the time in the Library?

If you only see the time then this means that the date is today and you have lost your older history.
