Update this page with any information that is relevant one way or another to the browsing history within firefox.
History is stored together with bookmarks in a database file named places.sqlite.
~/.mozilla/firefox/{xxx}.default/places.sqlite
where {xxx}
can be the host name or something else.
See sqlite for working with .sqlite files.
Sample query to browse the history from the command line:
$ sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/NNN.default/places.sqlite
sqlite> select h.*, datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, p.url from moz_historyvisits h join moz_places p on p.id = h.place_id order by visit_date ASC;
