I think History pages when opened retrieve the new information for the particular page & open it in its updated state. I would like to open the history page in its old state, before I did the accidental deletions... I thought this was possible but couldn't find any instructions.... -- thanks in advance for anyone's help!

You best bet is to put FF in offline mode, and try to load the page from the cache. Note, there is no guarantee that this will work.

thanks for help, it didn't work tho. ---in offline mode it still pulls up the current status of the page which is minus the items deleted (which is **all of the items** -apparently there's a choice for deleting all items in ebay's watchlist which I guess was hi.lited & I didn't notice & hit yes....) -thanks anyway!

Once you have visited the web page then the old version in the cache will have been overwritten and there is no way to get the old version.
If the page isn't in the cache then you would see a page that you are in offline mode and that the page isn't available.
