Sort by Last Visited & Sort by Most Visited not working - blank screen

more options

Recently installed FF 4.01 and can't get a history listing with "Sort by Last Visited" and "Sort by Most Visited" - in both instance all I get is a blank screen. I get full history listings with the other sort options, View Date & Site OK but not on last and most visited.

Running FF 4.01 on WinXP - SP2

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I finally got it working - by a fluke. I accessed the drop down history at the navigation arrows by right clicking to check out if that was working and the next time I tried the view by last visited in the sidebar it worked as it's supposed to. So it seemed that it just needed a jump start.

Your problem may also be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
So if it returns then check that out.

Don't think so. I tried it in safe mode with no change. As I say above, accessing the drop down list at the navigation arrows seemed to fix it.
