- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16368454, 4 years agoAs soon as I open the tab for for BH, my cpu fluctuates between 25-35%. As soon as I close the tab, the cpu goes back down to 1-2%. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled twice more with the exact same results. I would like to try this on a more extended and extensive basis, but at least for now, it will have to stay either closed or off Firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpaFox, 4 years agoFinally! Thank you! Stupid Firefox took out the TIME we browsed a site. This add-on puts it back!
- Rated 1 out of 5by JP, 4 years agoWhile using this add on Malwarebytes popped up with 24 warning messages as it blocked numerous malware, adware, Trojans, and other malicious websites that were trying to be opened in Firefox. I was just scrolling from month to month, not selecting any links. Some of the websites were in my history, some were not.
I don't know why this happened but I'm not going to spend the time trying to figure it out. I uninstalled the add on to make it stop.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThose warnings have nothing to do with the extension, you should probably clean up your firefox installation. - Rated 5 out of 5by istvandonko, 4 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by wtl, 4 years agoIt's not doing what I need but it might not be designed to do that, so I'm giving it 3 stars because 1 star would be unfair if it just can't do what I want and 5 stars would mean it works great for me, which it doesn't. I want history to open items in new tabs automatically like Chrome does, not open the history item in the tab I'm using at the moment. I don't know if this extension is supposed to do that or not, but it doesn't. Firefox has many inconveniences like this that keep sending me back to Chrome (and I hate Google).
Edited 7/17/20: developer said "there is a setting in Firefox called "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" in the Tabs category." I did have that activated but it made no difference, double-checked it just now, still didn't help. This kind of thing plus how FF does not keep news site formatting when c&p into email is why I just now gave up (again) and went back to Chrome. The formatting c&p thing has been consistently bad in FF since it originated - I used FF from when it first started but gave up and eventually found Chrome. I keep hoping but FF keeps disappointing.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ali, 5 years agoI just love the clean interface and easy use and full window layout. I like how the "month" view is sorted like a calendar, too, very clever.
I love this extension, great work. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12148057, 5 years agoHard to identify if it shows you the whole navigation history or just the last page in the tab like the standard firefox history

posted 4 years agoThe extension uses the history data directly from Firefox, nothing is saved on the disk or uploaded online. - Rated 5 out of 5by AulonSal, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Brand, 5 years agoGreat addon. I love the full page layout, and number one feature for me is to see the day's history in time order. Often I know when I saw the page, but not the site, so FF's built in history which sorts by site is no use. With this, it is easy to retrace my steps.
