How do I find a website I visited that does not appear in my history, one that appears to have phished me?

Logging in to a website to make payment on a credit card account, therein, my username and password weren't accepted. Using the "forgot password" link presented, I was taken to a page that asked for personal information I shouldn't have provided. After contacting tech support for the site, I learned that they had no record of the failed attempt, and that their password retrieval protocol doesn't ask for such information. They wanted the address of the site I visited, but none of those pages appear in my history. What can I do to find them? Thank you. I can't believe I was that stupid and unaware. Help.

First, I assume you changed your password (and all other sites that use the same password, if any).

If you look at the time stamps in the Library dialog, is there a gap, or do you just see addresses that look incorrect?

History menu > Show All History

If the pages were cached -- not all pages are cached, and most HTTPS pages are not cached -- that would be another thing to check. Finding cached files in the built-in screen (about:cache > Disk) is very time-consuming, but you can search for particular dates and times. There is an add-on that claims to make it easier to use the cache, but I haven't tried it myself: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer-continued/

If you have a software firewall that logs traffic, you could check that as well. Or if your network router logs traffic, there's another possible source.

You can try to use the SQLite Manager extension to see if there are any pages visited during that time that may be hidden from the normal history.

  1. Open Profile Directory -> places.sqlite -> Go
  2. Hit the Execute SQL tab
  3. Use a Select like this: 
SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND visit_date BETWEEN strftime('%s','YYYY-MM-DD')*1000000  AND strftime('%s','YYYY-MM-DD')*1000000
ORDER BY url, visit_date DESC

Click Run SQL to generate a results list

Modify the two date fields ('YYYY-MM-DD') with the proper dates.
