i appreciate ff can do this and all, but isnt this usecase covered by you know, the browser history?
Bookmarks
Well, no. Firefox deletes entries older than 6 months from history and there's no way to change this or to export the data.
Yeah, if I'm trying history search, I know I've already lost.
I didn't know, that sucks so much.
Though, someone made a post on superuser and a reply said that you can back up the database, so at least something is salvageable
Mine has history going back to Nov 2022 (though I'm not entirely sure why it stops there).
You can change how often it deletes history items, I'm sure I've done that before
Of bookmarks, I always have like 20 tabs max open at once, I feel alone.
