How to view date of an item in history

When you search the History sidebar for a query, Firefox lists all URLs that match the query. Yet, there is no date column; nor is there any visible way to view when a certain item on the list was accessed. Is there some option that makes the search results in History more user friendly so as to show dates?

Chosen solution

Open the History Manager. At the top of the window, you will see a bar. The first listing is Name. Right-click on the bar and you will see what is available to display.


Note: In history, only the last time the link in question was accessed will be displayed. There is an add-on that can show more than just the last entry.

Note that there is also the "Views -> Show Columns" menu.
