minus-square@umbrella@lemmy.mllinkfedilink19•2 months agoi appreciate ff can do this and all, but isnt this usecase covered by you know, the browser history?
minus-square@interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.mllinkfedilink4•2 months agoI find bookmarks simply useless compared to tabs. Massive cognitive burden to sort and categorize. Also can’t search the content text. I prefer textfiles full of urls more than bookmarks

minus-square@hackerwacker@lemmy.mllinkfedilink7•2 months agoWell, no. Firefox deletes entries older than 6 months from history and there’s no way to change this or to export the data.
minus-square@QuazarOmega@lemy.lollinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoI 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
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink2•2 months agoYeah, if I’m trying history search, I know I’ve already lost.
minus-square2xsaikolinkfedilink1•2 months agoMine has history going back to Nov 2022 (though I’m not entirely sure why it stops there).
minus-squaremaclinkfedilink1•edit-22 months agoYou can change how often it deletes history items, I’m sure I’ve done that before
minus-squareAlexisFRlinkfedilink5•2 months agoOf bookmarks, I always have like 20 tabs max open at once, I feel alone.

Also history search is terrible
