- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch True Partner, 3 jierren lynUpdate: Thank you, it finally worked. Though, once it said Finished, Firefox froze for some time before places. SQLite was being updated. It took about 25 minutes. Original places file was 105mb, this new one is 90mbs; which is okay. Better to lose 15 than 105.
Thank you for all your help.
Doesn't work. It successfully exports the history, but when you import, even when it's finished, nothing happens. Your old history doesn't come back.
My Firefox version is 110 32bit. There are no errors. It says Finished Successfully. But History remains the same. No new addition to it or Places.sqlite file.
Note that export file is 41Mbs. Maybe large size is the problem.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
3 jierren lyn pleatstEdit 2: The freezing is just firefox indexing/managing all the new history, don't think I can do anything about that. There's probably some extra data lost, maybe times visited or even individual visit times. I count these as unimportant though.
Edit: releasing new version with a fix (hopefully) and optimization.
Can you give some information on your device and browser version? Maybe even check the extension in debug mode with console for any errors? - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Rev, 3 jierren lynIt works, but it doesn't preserve the history's "Most Recent Visit" dates, and all history items are loaded in sequentially in reverse order.
Still, for what I needed it to do, it worked. I have a couple of questions for the developer, however:
1. I know this add-on was intended to be "quick and dirty", but do you intend to continue working on it at all? This is the very first add-on I've ever used that *finally* delivered what I've been searching *years* for! So, I'd love for it to achieve its full potential with one or two more features.
2. If you are not planning on further development, would you be able to direct me to a similar add-on that *does* preserve history items' dates/times?
Thank you for your time and effort, Skyweb. I nearly gave up on the idea of being able to save my FireFox history. I look forward to your reply.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
3 jierren lyn pleatstI actually did include the visittime in export and import but due to various reasons (my own mistakes) it didn't work. I've never second guessed it but since you brought it up I'll release a fix.
If there's other feature requests that fall within the "quick and dirty" scope or slightly outside let me know and I'll see what I can do. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch dtaj, 3 jierren lynExport functionality:
The export seems to work. After installation, go to Manage add-ons. There you can export and import the history. When exporting, I receive a file "data.json". I have not tested whether this is error-free or complete. But it seems to be. For me, this is already worth 5 stars, because you can finally save the history in plain text.
Import functionality:
What did not work on my computer (Firefox 114.0.1, 64-bit, Windows, German) is the import. A file can be selected for import, but with the just exported file "data.json" in the size of 669 kByte only the name was displayed in the add-on, an actual import did not take place here. After selecting and confirming the file, nothing happened. I hope the programmer can change this in a future version.
Data protection:
The code is only a few lines and in the current version no data is transferred from your own computer to the outside at any time, everything is done locally. TOP!
Thank you for this already useful add-on!Antwurd ûntwikkeler

I only used this extension once to migrate my history from desktop to mobile and it worked so it's wondrous it doesn't import correctly on desktop.
I've uploaded a new fixed version that should (hopefully) work properly on all devices. Just waiting on approval for now.

Version 0.2 is approved!
