- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16368454, duela 4 urteAs soon as I open the tab for for BH, my cpu fluctuates between 25-35%. As soon as I close the tab, the cpu goes back down to 1-2%. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled twice more with the exact same results. I would like to try this on a more extended and extensive basis, but at least for now, it will have to stay either closed or off Firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpaFox, duela 4 urteFinally! Thank you! Stupid Firefox took out the TIME we browsed a site. This add-on puts it back!
- Rated 1 out of 5by JP, duela 4 urteWhile using this add on Malwarebytes popped up with 24 warning messages as it blocked numerous malware, adware, Trojans, and other malicious websites that were trying to be opened in Firefox. I was just scrolling from month to month, not selecting any links. Some of the websites were in my history, some were not.
I don't know why this happened but I'm not going to spend the time trying to figure it out. I uninstalled the add on to make it stop.Developer response
posted duela 4 urteThose warnings have nothing to do with the extension, you should probably clean up your firefox installation. - Rated 5 out of 5by istvandonko, duela 4 urte
- Rated 3 out of 5by wtl, duela 4 urteIt's not doing what I need but it might not be designed to do that, so I'm giving it 3 stars because 1 star would be unfair if it just can't do what I want and 5 stars would mean it works great for me, which it doesn't. I want history to open items in new tabs automatically like Chrome does, not open the history item in the tab I'm using at the moment. I don't know if this extension is supposed to do that or not, but it doesn't. Firefox has many inconveniences like this that keep sending me back to Chrome (and I hate Google).
Edited 7/17/20: developer said "there is a setting in Firefox called "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" in the Tabs category." I did have that activated but it made no difference, double-checked it just now, still didn't help. This kind of thing plus how FF does not keep news site formatting when c&p into email is why I just now gave up (again) and went back to Chrome. The formatting c&p thing has been consistently bad in FF since it originated - I used FF from when it first started but gave up and eventually found Chrome. I keep hoping but FF keeps disappointing.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by msloco, duela 4 urteexactly what is needed to improve the navigation of history timeline
- Rated 5 out of 5by Yu-Cheng Huang, duela 4 urteNice addon. Was struggling to find some webpage in default history panel but failed. Used this and find it immediately.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ali, duela 4 urteI just love the clean interface and easy use and full window layout. I like how the "month" view is sorted like a calendar, too, very clever.
I love this extension, great work. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12148057, duela 4 urteHard to identify if it shows you the whole navigation history or just the last page in the tab like the standard firefox history

posted duela 4 urteThe extension uses the history data directly from Firefox, nothing is saved on the disk or uploaded online. - Rated 5 out of 5by AulonSal, duela 4 urte
- Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Brand, duela 4 urteGreat addon. I love the full page layout, and number one feature for me is to see the day's history in time order. Often I know when I saw the page, but not the site, so FF's built in history which sorts by site is no use. With this, it is easy to retrace my steps.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14764509, duela 4 urteHandy when trying to figure out what you did with your time on a given work day. >_>
4 Stars because I see room for growth/improvement
To Vincent:
Any chance you'll be up for adding any of these?
- Domain nesting
- History pane integration (instead of full window)
- Open/Close via CTRL+HDeveloper response
posted duela 4 urteHello and thanks for your review!
What do you mean by "Domain nesting"? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14576246, duela 4 urte
- Rated 2 out of 5by vava, duela 4 urtejunk; it doesn't work; nothing is shown
*edit: It seems that the extension has a problem with some Firefox options. I have created a new Firefox profile and it works in that profile. Though it's not as nice and useful as Vivaldi history.
I need it to work with my profile and settings. What can be the problem? How to debug?
I have the same problem with the "Print Edit WE" addon.Developer response
