Why does my website history not stay in order of most recent visited?
I just want to quickly find my favorite websites without having to bookmark. Normally, I used to click the down arrow and pick a recent site. Over and over and over again, the sites I go to that are the most recent are not the websites that are listed first. Often they are not in the top 10 or so that it will list. Is there a way to control this without having to create a favorite list?

The drop-down list on the address bar is based on a combination of frequency and recency. I'm not aware of a way to change that, but there could be an add-on that does it.
If you want a purely chronological list of history, you could consider using the History sidebar (Ctrl+h opens and also closes the sidebar). You can Shift+click and Ctrl+click, as well as using the right-click menu, to re-open pages from history in a new window or tab.
You can also consider to use the about:newtab page and drag items in one of the slots on that page.
You can set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
