hello, i think by this action you have deleted all entries in your history that currently are older than 6 months - as time progresses and old history entries fall into this category again, the "older than 6 months" item will reappear.

Additionally If you have Sync or any other form of backup, you can try to restore the history. You can also try to restore an older places.sqlite in the Firefox profile directory: Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Info > Show Folder.
