Hi Diane! The easiest way to search for items in your history is from the history sidebar. That can be displayed/hidden using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H.

You can also search history from the library window. This can be access by pressing the Firefox menu in the top-right of the browser, selecting Library, then History and Show all history (it's at the bottom of the list. Then there will be a search bar in the top-right of the window that appears.

Hope this helps.

Note that it is probably safer to use the Library because in the sidebar it is easy to click a history entry and open the link and thus create a new history entry (you need to click at the far left to prevent opening a link).

If you use Windows then check this Nirsoft utility to see all history visits (Firefox only shows the most recent visit).
