- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12376444, 4 years ago1. Криво отображает столбцы (столбец url свернут почти полностью, каждый раз при открытии расширения);
2. Не запоминает выбранные параметры отображения (порядок столбцов, ширину столбцов, количество строк на странице);
3. Неудобно отображает дату в формате "2021-06-10T06:21:24+03:00" - каша из цифр и букв.
En:
1. Displays the columns crookedly (the url column is collapsed almost completely, every time you open the extension);
2. Does not remember the selected display parameters (column order, column width, number of lines per page);
3. Inconveniently displays the date in the format "2021-06-10T06:21:24+03:00" - a mess of numbers and letters. - Rated 5 out of 5by Georg Semjen, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by MisfortuneCookie, 5 years agoAlthough an improvement in basic usability over the default, webextension History Browser appears unable to parse more than 5,000 history entries. In my case, that represents less than one month being liste and searchable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14611079, 5 years agocan you make another "open in new tab" browser for bookmark too.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12760379, 5 years agoFirst impression is good. I miss the favicons of the pages for better overview.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15226491, 5 years agoIt's better I expected to be!
Good for opening history links in the new tab, without re-arranging the list order during this action.
Should be developed in the future. More setting possibilities would be great etc...
But for beginning it's a good add-on anyway, thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by rovyko, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by antidarwin, 6 years agoI don't usually review extensions. However, this is more than I expected.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12663304, 7 years agoIt's usable and gives good overview of history. You should work on the presentation though. The addon uses U.S. date format, please honor the locale. When some very long string without whitespace turns up, the table cell grows respectively, while also shrinking other columns to a tiny size. Please make sure that the table doesn't grow outside the screen and that minimum column size is guaranteed.

posted 6 years agoI just released 1.0.2 which fixes the date format to use ISO 8601 instead which is built to sort lexicographically.
Concerning the table issue, I tried my best to get the css working for the size, but I'm not sure what would be the best fix for this.
Contributions are welcome if someone would try to fix this:

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14001160, 7 years agoDoes a few things simply. Need way to filter by date range and other options to be a good history manager
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13938307, 7 years agoNeat and useful, a huge improvement over the default history panel! Just a few features I think would make this a 5 star addon:
1. Show chronology of individual visits. E.g. If I've seen a particular video two days ago, but also today, there should be an option to see both on the history list.
2. Infinite scroll, or at least show more than 100 items per page.
3. Option to show a sidebar instead of a new tab.Developer response
posted 6 years ago1. Show chronology of individual visits.
I wish I could do this. The api only provides "HistoryItem"s:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/history/HistoryItem
I'm not sure it's possible to have this information from the extension api, but I will investigate this a little more as there seem to be "VisitItem" which may be related:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/history/VisitItem
2. Infinite scroll, or at least show more than 100 items per page.
Good idea. I'm using DataTables and they implemented this a while ago according to this post:
https://datatables.net/blog/2011-06-11
I will try to add an options page so we can tweak this a little more.
3. Option to show a sidebar instead of a new tab.
I suppose this can be done by following this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface/Sidebars
But I'm not sure how it could fit into a sidebar tho

Thanks for your suggestions and glad to see it helped. btw, sorry for the 1 year later reply. Looks like I didn't have any notification from Firefox. I just came here to release a new version to fix the date time column fomat ;) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13924798, 7 years agoHow does it work?
Cannot find after download.
Thank You,

posted 6 years agoOnce installed, there should be an icon added to your plugins list beside browser's navigation bar. If it's not present, you can find it in the customization panel. You should see the blue extension icon - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13915929, 7 years agoGreat add-on, at last a update to Norwell History Tools - which was very annoyingly disabled in the Firefox update.
Only problem, the search is limited to the last 5000 items, though there is a branch in sourceforge to remove/change this limit - this is urgently needed to be added to the main release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ergun Yeniyurt, 7 years agoI like very much is very detailed.It's working well and easy to use.
