Not OP, but I am not a fan of the newly introduced library. Exploring my history is bad in Firefox, and this is even worse. It doesn’t show full page titles, so it’s almost impossible to find the right page.
History feels like the only part of Firefox that is still stuck somewhere in the late noughties. They should just copy what Chrome and Safari have done and make it a webpage instead of a separate window.
Firefox's visible UI is made of webpages. They just decided to open this webpage in separate window without an option to do otherwise. Still can access it by visiting `chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml`.
Slight correction with Safari, it uses a native NSOutlineView rather than a webpage, but the point that history works better in the main browser window stands.
Honestly, I haven't found browser history to be useful anymore. Not in 6 or 7 years. Too many sites are SPAs with server-side state, breaking the back button, breaking multiple open tabs in the same application, or breaking both.
I go hunting for pages i read months ago and need to reference again pretty often. Browser history containing only the site and title isn't great for that but it's what i have
