I sometimes use firefox on an XP and have not noticed that sortof problem. What makes you think others have this proble, the 4 votes on the last post ?

Widely seen problems often get hundreds of votes.

Bugs are tracked and dealt with in bugzilla, but you will need quite a lot of work to be able to show a reproducible problem before anyone is likely to be in a position to even look at such a problem. You should start by testing firefox in safe mode and try to find the simplest case where this sort of thing occurs. To be honest you stand little chance of getting responses in this forum. Maybe try mozillazine http://forums.mozillazine.org/

Pardon me for suggesting this but are you sure you have the History "View" set as you wish it? "By Last Visited" instead of "By Most Visited", for example.

Your problem does seem more complicated than this but a different "View" setting might give you a more acceptable result.

Did you check that the clock on your computer has the correct date?

@John99: Thank you.

@alan_r: The column names are "Name", "Visit Date", and "Location". See screen capture. Items from today are going into yesterday date bucket. The screen capture was obtained this morning while I was working in "safe mode".

@cor-el: This is the third computer on which this has happened. Computer Number One (original post, 8 months ago) WAS having a problem with retaining the correct date. This computer does not have any problems with the system date.

As someone suggested, I used Firefox in safe mode this morning. The screen capture that I posted is the result of that screen capture ... still getting today's history going into yesterday's date bucket. When I had many more items in history 8 months ago, today's history was going into various date buckets ... even as far back as six months ago.

Thanks.

Try can try to verify the places database:

• CheckPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

Thanks, Cor-el. I ran the CheckPlaces and the Places Maintenance. I'll see how that goes.

Appreciate the help.

I've tried all of the recommendations ... it's still happening.

I even tried a brand new, clean install of Firefox with a clean install of the addons (rather than adding the addons from a backup). Still no joy.

Misdated history happens every day, several times a day. Doesn't seem to be any particular thing that causes it.

I'm gonna try Mozillazine.

Thanks for all your suggestions/help.
