This is broken off from bug 21521 because that bug was not only in the wrong component for history, but there is only supposed to be one-topic per bug. If this weren't done, it would have very little chance of getting fixed. Basically, this bug is about the following: 1) Go to www.mozilla.org 2) Click on "Mozilla organization" link 3) Click on "Developer Docs" link 4) Click on "NSPR" 5) Click back two times 6) Click on "Developer Docs" link 7) Click in "Introductory Material" link 8) Click on mozilla.org banner on top of page 9) Type http://www.mozilla.org/ 10) Click on Testing 11) Click on link to Bugzilla A tree-like history to sort the navigation of sites. | + mozilla.org | | | + mozilla.org | | | + Mozilla Documentation | | | | | + Mozilla Doc - Core Architecture: NSPR | | | + Mozilla Documentation | | | + Mozilla Doc - Introductory Material | | | + mozilla.org | + www.mozilla.org | | | + Mozilla QA Home Page | | | + mozilla.org Bugzilla The main issue is how deep do we let the tree nest and when do we start a new secondary node to the tree?

What about this alternate proposal in Bug 187187. It seems simpler and basically does what you're after (maintains the forward history instead of erasing it when you navigate from a page in your 'back history').

Note that NCSA Mosaic 3.0 had a similar feature. Any single browsing session's tree could be saved to and loaded from disk, but was lost between sessions if not saved. http://browsers.evolt.org/?mosiac-ncsa/

The Firefox history sidebar is now recording mozilla.com and www.mozilla.com as separate entities; but both are listed under 'mozilla.com'.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1756/ - Referrer History. Works fine in Firefox 2.0.0.1. :) Combine that with Firefox Showcase and Firefox 3 may be just as nifty as this Mosaic derivative from 1995(!): http://www.w3.org/Conferences/WWW4/Papers2/270/ Camino has a patch: bug 177959. Firefox 3 bug 364426 got my hopes up but it's the usual group by domain tree.

I don-t think this is a path we'll take, bookmarks hierarchy works, but for history it'd work to have a better search and filtering functionality.
