Recovering deleted history in Firefox

[Highmac]

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014);
Mac OS High Sierra  10.13.6;
Firefox 91.0.1

We have a problem with SWMBO's MBP. Somehow the history in Firefox has vanished (possibly deleted accidentally...). I've plenty of Time Capsule backups, so it should be possible to reinstate (shouldn't it?). My problem is tracking down the history in TC - I've made simple recoveries in the past, but don't know where to start with this one! 

So we would both be ever so, ever so grateful if someone can point me in the right direction...

Look in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox. I can't be more specific, unfortunately.

Thanks Jon, I'll give that a try. Probably tomorrow as we're getting into evening now and will get back to you.

I DO hope you find a recent version of that history file.

However, I still highly recommend URLMPro as a replacement for most browser's history and/or bookmarking functions. It automatically keeps a list of the last 1,000 visited sites. That list has three columns: Name of page (if specified with a <title> entry, URL and Date. I have no idea what or what Firefox or any other browser keeps in its 'history' file. I often use the "Reopen All Windows from Last Session" item in Safari (which also reopens all tabs, of course).

The whole point of URLMP, of course, is to easily save and arrange URL's in the way the user wants, not limited to what the dev(s) might like. The nice thing about URLMP is that it is available via the dev's site and the App Store so it can be updated automatically, if you like. It is updated quite often and has an active user base which the dev works hard to satisfy! Naturally, it automatically updates itself every time you save a bookmark, so there is no need to use Time Machine because of any "accidents".
