Ever since I followed Firefox's suggestion (shown in the bottom of browser) to reset it (to clean up old caches and to speed up), the exact time of browsing history was no longer displaying in the column of "Last Modified" under the Library. I am using Mac version of Firefox (version 32.0)

I used to check the exact time of browsing history a lot every day to see which sites I visited at specific time. Now the browsing history are listed as usual, but the exact time of browsing history disappears.

I don't want to reinstall the Firefox. If anything can be done to restore the exact time of browsing history, I will do provided that the data of exact time is still there.

I would deeply appreciate if I can get help from anyone, and receive guidance on how to retrieve the exact time data. I am not sure if this exact time data still there. I don't know whether it was gone or it was still kept in my computer, it may be something needed to be done to let this data show up again in my computer.

You will have to make the Most Recent Visit column visible in the History Manager (Library) if you do not see this column in the new profile that go created after the reset.

You can do that via the Views button (that is the second button) on the toolbar or via the right-click context menu of the header bar in the right pane.

Yes. Glad to see the exact time of browsing history again in the "most recent visit" column.

Is the "exact time" of browsing history supposed to be only showing in "Most Recent Visit" Column?

I am a bit confused as I thought I got exact time of browsing history in the "Last Modified" Column before. Is it caused by some update or reset?

Is "Last Modified" no longer holding any exact time data?

Since there is also the "visit count" is on the right hand side of "most recent visit", I am not sure if the "most recent visit" will list down all activities of the browsing history without trimming down to only the most recent visit. Chrome browsing history did all my all browsing activities trimmed down to one link (make all related invisible). That's the thing I don't like. Chrome never kept my browsing history of exact timing in details for longer period I want, say, 6 months. These are the reasons I won't use Chrome unless I was forced to do so, like some websites can only be used with Chrome only.

Kindly clarify this point to me, I much appreciate it. I am a great fan of this feature.
