I have spent over 3 hours today attempting to find a place to post a "SUGGESTION" to the firefox dev team for future inclusion of an option that I am unable to find. Some say you can, but I have not found a way to do it so that the steps are understandable and work for me. How much easier would it be to just have an option (like in other browsers and in windows itself) to select what criteria you want included/excluded.

I need a timestamp in firefox to monitor usage, use as a sort of "time minder" when attempting to recreate particular days, when I know What time +/- I visited a page, but not what day; when I need to monitor how much ACTUAL TIME my child has been online in any given online session.

Alas, I find no usable way to track time in the browser. WHY is this not a part of the browser. It is a function I NEED and I want to stay with Firefox. Please, someone get this suggestion to the proper channel. I'd like my voice heard. I know, from the number of people also searching for this function, that I am not alone in wanting to see this implemented into the next Firefox upgrade! I am currently using Firefox 33.1 thanks!

You might want to look into parental control programs for Windows, to cover all browsers installed on that PC.

Firefox's Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+h) shows the latest visit to a page, not every visit, so even though you can view the times there, the list is incomplete for your purposes.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
