I need to collect data about the amount of time I spend on specific sites researching my dissertation topic. The data is in my browse history. I need a way to export the data from the history file including the date and time information into a format that is easy to analyze (.txt, comma delimited file etc)

Haven't tried this utility but it may get you what you want http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_history_view.html (I have used other utilities from Nirsoft and trust them)

You can also do that with the SQLite Manager extension.

That SQL Lite Extension proved to be a life saver. I ran the SQL statement cor-el outlined and it pulled exactly what I needed (I just changed the date range). THANK YOU so much!! Very helpful indeed!
