Can i find and print the history through the firefox browser from a mac?
I am trying to print recent history of the sites visited from a Macintosh laptop. I can not figure out how to open up the history and print it. I was wondering if this was possible?

A possibility is to copy and paste the history items in the Library (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to a bookmark folder and export the bookmarks to an HTML file. Unfortunately you can't save the visit date via a HTML file. Then you can remove the unwanted bookmarks from that file and add a stylesheet to show the location.
See:
There is this program for the Windows platform if you have access to a computer that runs Windows: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_history_view.html

This is how you can print Firefox history (on MacOS but should work on other platforms)
1) Download and install SQLite Manager FF plugin
2) Open SQLite Manager from the tools menu
3) Open places.sqlite from your-home/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles/your.profile/
4) Hit the Execute SQL tab
5) Use a select similar to this.....
SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url, moz_places.title FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%youtube%'
6) Click the actions dropdown to export to CSV
Hope this helps

I can't see how to get the history from Bookmarks. The option to Export/Import or Organize refer to Bookmarks, not History. Is there a way to get the History exported and/or organized?
