How do I get History to show entries that have an empty Name field?
I've noticed that if you go History/Show All History , it doesn't show entries with an empty Name field. If I enter part of the location URL in the "Search History" box (such as a Goggle search) the entries are there (with a Visit Date from yesterday), but if I then click on the Yesterday category, these entries are not shown. I'd expect the "Yesterday" category to show *everything* I visited yesterday.

Try disabling the Googlebar Lite.
Please report back soon.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
Thanks @ComputerWhiz - and apologies for the delay in responding.
I disabled Googlebar Lite, and then checked Show All History. I found that things were unchanged: I could search for an item and it would appear, but if I select all items from "this month", those items with a blank name field still didn't show up.
Even if creating an entry with a blank name is not "good practice", I'd argue that Show All History should do just that in all cases, not just when a search term thows up a match.
I'm relieved that it's not Googlebar Lite interferring with the History display, though. Its word seach buttons (that disappeared when Google Toolbar for Firefox was withdrawn) are an essential part of using search, IMO...
It is not normal for Firefox to not display items with a blank name.
If cor-el's answer above does not work, please try disabling all Firefox add-ons. Then browse to the sites with blank name fields and see if they will display in your history.
Please report back soon.
