How can I see history for just this one device instead of all sync'd devices?

more options

Say it isn't so? Can I not view the history of the one device I am using instead of getting the full history of all my sync'd devices? That's extraordinarily short-sighted if that is indeed the case. At least add a column in the history list that shows the device that entry came from...

gheez.

What do I expect, the help forum doesn't even return to top of page when moving between search result pages... ohh, Mozilla, what have you become?!

Why do you synchronize your history if you don't want to merge it?

"Why do you synchronize your history if you don't want to merge it?" I like having my immediate history when moving from device to device throughout my day. But after a few days, or in this particular case, a bit over a week, using the history becomes pointless unless you can remember a unique enough key word to filter - even then, you're in for scroll, click, and repeat. Are there no meta tags or embedded identifiers of any kind within the DOM history modules in the browser that could be used to delineate the specific device? I could write an add-on or something if so.

to open the menu panel. Click History and then click the Manage history bar at the bottom to open the Library window. The Library window that opens when you click the Show All HistoryManage History bar will show your browsing history.
