Access Firefox History: A Simple Guide

Enhance Firefox History Access with the History Submenus Extension

Are you experiencing difficulty navigating your browser’s history due to the limitations of the standard History Menu and Manager? The History Submenus extension offers a solution, streamlining the process of searching through your browsing data.

Before, the default “History Menu” provides a limited view of your recent browsing activity. Detailed examination requires opening the “Library Window,” which can be inconvenient. This extension aims to provide easy access to your complete browser history directly from the “History Menu.”

Extension Options

Following the installation of the History Submenus extension and a Firefox restart, reviewing the options is recommended. Customize the number of items displayed within each category to align with your individual preferences.

The “Label” option presents a choice between “Date Format” and “Number Of Days Ago Format” for displaying historical data.

A significant improvement over the default “History Menu” is immediately apparent. Users gain access not only to the most recent day’s browsing history but also to dedicated browsing history views for previous days.

Here, the “Date Format” style is demonstrated…

Concluding Remarks

If you frequently encounter frustration when attempting to locate a specific website or link using the default History Menu & Manager, the History Submenus extension represents a valuable addition to your Firefox browser.
