History not saved in the .json file - need help saving history

The backup of the bookmarks AND history does not save the HISTORY. Help me here, why does the bookmarks get backed up, but not the History ?

The experience of clicking on the History menu, then SHOW ALL HISTORY pulls up a Library applet that IMPLIES that the History will be preserved in the backup.

I think there are more than a few people who would use this since migration to a new machine means severing one's HISTORY, unless a backup is available.


David ps, thanks Goliath

Bookmarks are backed up in the JSON file, history isn't.

See for transferring your data to a new PC. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

You can copy and paste history items to a bookmark folder in the Library (Bookmarks/History Manager) if you want to save history items.
