History doesn't seem to remember websites visited from Bookmarks. I tried to find a website I had visited today as a result of clicking on a Bookmark but I could not so Firefox doesn't seem to remember websites gone to by clicking on a Bookmark. I suggest that this be fixed.

However you get to a webpage, history should have recorded it. Unless you told the browser not to do so, or are using Private Browsing.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.
