How can I restore the 'Yesterday' button in History?

I wanted to delete yesterday's FF browsing history, but I accidentally deleted the 'Yesterday' button under 'Show All History' instead. Yeah, stupid, I know.

I tried Ctrl-Z, but that didn't work. I tried about:config but didn't see anything I thought I could use.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I don't want to do a FF reset. Too much work to restore everything afterwards - extensions, settings, etc.

Thanks.

If there is no longer history for yesterday then this item won't show in history. Tomorrow today's history will be come yesterday's history and thus yesterday will reappear. It is not possible to recover the deleted history, so that history is lost.
