When I sort by “last visited” I tend to find things rather quickly. Have you tried that yet? The other sorting options are pretty much useless IMO.
Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?

If I need them again, browser history is there.
I think that browser history sucks in Firefox, I don’t know why, if it has, well history, recently viewed and recently closed sections, YET I can’t ever quickly find the one tab that I closed recently (but not that recently, recently enough to remember that I did) and it is shown days ago in the browser history which makes me always manually search for it and, oh boy if I remember a word differently from the site title I am in for a hard time…
I don’t specifically hoard tabs (I do with Simple Tab Groups) but this seemed like the perfect chance for me to rant about this… Man I remember that the history option showed you the last recent visited/viewed or closed page :/

No, just as the other user suggested it I have not, hopefully that is not how the default view is… (because I have never modified that).

The default was something amazingly stupid like alphabetical or whatever. Completely useless, so it’s no wonder why people ignore the history altogether.

I think the default history sorting mode in Firefox is “By Date”; it actually lists websites by date alphabetically which confused me for a while. Changing the sort mode to “By Last Visited” gives the reverse chronological order that I would expect.

Hell I gotta give it a try to this… I never even looked into its options because to me history section should work just as you stated it haha.

OH that makes more sense.

This is the way. Last visited is the only option that actually makes any sense.
