My history restore function does not work - neither a saved history nor the dated entries the browser saves. How can this be fixed?

I carefully and specifically used the backup function in an attempt to backup my history before I cleared it to try to fix another problem. However, on trying to restore the history, I instead found out that only the bookmarks had been backed up and my history was lost. Why be so cruel as to offer what seems to be a history backup but in reality is not?

Yes, I should have used FEBE, but since there was a button and menu on the "Show all history" library, the implication is that it is the history, not the bookmarks that are being backed up. That's irresponsible at best.

There is an extension to backup the history, but as far as I know there is no way to restore history once deleted unless you would restore a copy of the places.sqlite file that has this history.
