preserve and report multiple visits #10

Closed MM-John closed 2 months ago

The feature I'm looking for is multiple listings in the history if I visited a page multiple times.

I believe firefox default history display shows only the most recent visit to a page. So if you visit a page 5 times in day, it will give you just one listing with just the date of the most recent visit. Or if you visited a page a month ago, and visit again today, it will only show today.

I'd love to have a feature where I could see all 5 visits in a day. Or a visit a week ago and a visit today. Instead of the most recent only today.

Unfortunately, I am guessing that firefox only stores the most recent visit, not every visit. (I could be wrong.) I'm also guessing this extension does not modify that internal capture and storage of history mechanism of firefox, just offers novel display options of that same firefox internal storage. (I could be wrong.)

If my assumptions are correct, my request is not possible without a major addition to the code. But it never hurts to ask, I guess.

Well, I answered my own question. Firefox DOES store each visit, and the firefox history display chooses to only show the most recent.

But THIS addon has a "show repeated visits" button which allows you to show all visits.
