History of visited sites - when opening something in history, create a new entry

[dokrik]

When searching in the History of visited sites, if you open a site, the History page is reset to the beginning and you have to search in a new way, and not from the place where the previously opened page was called. Terribly inefficient and annoying!

History - when opening something in history, create a new entry

This might have been mentioned already,

when i open something in the history of firefox that i looked up it removes the entry from that date and puts it in as in right now - can you please make it leave that entry there and creates a new entry ....

I think this is same idea.

Surprised that this is decade old issue.

I think this is same proposal, which is older.

Same problem here - and it is really annoying, as sometimes I have to go through hundreds of webpages. This reset each time you open a new tab or window from the history makes the process really awful... #history #reset #tab

Agree. It's surprising that history can be changed by re-opening an old URL. Probably this shouldn't even be called "history", right? It's just a list of old URLs!

It would be great to have a REAL history of what was visited.

Browsing history

If you use Manage history window to browse your history you get some annoying feature while clicking on links listed inside. If I scroll this list down to find some old visited link and after I click on it, it appears at the top of list and the list automatically scrolls up. It shouldn't be so. Because if I found wrong link I have to search further. The link I clicked should stay highlighted and the list shouldn't be scrolled up.

I wish I could hold CTRL down and multi-select the items that I want to then open in new tabs...

I do presentations and afterwards I want to send out an email to all the participants with the key pages visited, and the current history is a pain to use.

I did however solve it by selecting all entries in the history (CTRL+A), right-click copy,  then paste into a text editor, this gives me a raw list of all URLs.
