History is not looking at history, but actively viewing the server.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager for administering telephones.

I need to view what the phone was before I deleted it. That should be what history is all about!!!

History is a list of URLs and date/time data; it doesn't actually include a snapshot of the data.

In some cases, pages you have viewed are stored in Firefox's browser cache. Try setting Firefox to Work Offline and then see whether a history URL opens the page from cache.

classic File menu (Alt+f) > Work Offline

As a separate suggestion, when working with database-driven pages, you also can use a free PDF printer driver to archive the data for future reference. This extension makes it easy to PDF everything in all open tabs (entirely locally, not sending the page to the web): Print pages to Pdf :: Add-ons for Firefox. Sometimes, the fonts are funky, but generally the convenience justifies the compromise in quality.
