How can I see the history for a specific URL? (If I visit the same URL after the 1st visit, it clears the first and shows me only the last)

Hello everyone, Sorry for the long question, I am really dissapointed and I don t know what to do. A few days ago, I invited a "friend" to play some fifa and stuff. Next day, after he left and I opened my laptop, I saw in History, that he was stealing confidential information (specific photos from a product of my company), from a facebook messenger chat of mine, with a developer. I saw in the history, that he was searching for "pictures" in the conversation. I am trying to get some information from the history tab, in order to find out how much time was he spending on that specific page, so I can find out what exactly was he able to do. I was clicking on that URL in the history, but i saw, that the firefox history wasn t keeping the 1st acces to that, only the last one. So if I am trying to search for the URL on the 2nd of January, 2019 (when the "crime" happened), I can t find it there, I can find only a date which shows me a newer date (the date when I saw it and accesed the URL to see what is it). I need your help guys. It is very important for me. (please don t judge me why i was discussing such a thing on facebook or why was I letting him to my laptop...I was just tring to be human, because I knew him from several years). Any help is welcome. PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH TIME HE SPENT ON THE URL! THANK YOU ALL!

Firefox only shows the most recent visit of a specific URL although all visits are saved in places.sqlite.

You can look at this utility.

Thank you very much, the app is checking it right now, hope I will find something useful. Thanks again!

You're welcome.

Note that you can access history items in a Private Browsing mode window to avoid creating a new history item.
