History not saved in the .json file - need help saving history
The backup of the bookmarks AND history does not save the HISTORY. Help me here, why does the bookmarks get backed up, but not the History ?
The experience of clicking on the History menu, then SHOW ALL HISTORY pulls up a Library applet that IMPLIES that the History will be preserved in the backup.
I think there are more than a few people who would use this since migration to a new machine means severing one's HISTORY, unless a backup is available.

Backup your profile instead: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information
Bookmarks are backed up in the JSON file, history isn't.
See for transferring your data to a new PC. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
You can copy and paste history items to a bookmark folder in the Library (Bookmarks/History Manager) if you want to save history items.
