Hi there,first, I don't think it's the best place asking for tech help, and I would really prefer to see actual feedback to the addon. Anyways, as you already found out according to your last post, "The sessionstore.js file stores the currently open tabs and windows" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data In my addon, I use naive way to search for given url through the opened tabs (by API like getBrowserAtIndex).All the best for your dev.

Thanks for the feedback. It reminds me of updating the screenshots and HOWTO.

The menu item "Open/close Notes Sidebar" is below "Save to Local Notes" in the popup menu in searching view. If you are using SeaMonkey or older version of FF, please check Developer's Comments->KNOWN ISSUE.

Any further questions are more than welcome. Please email to "Support E-mail" (if you can't find the menu item or the sidebar still doesn't open) or, even better, add another review :) Thanks.

Glad that you enjoy reviewing the history in this way. I'm still discovering interesting patterns from my own browsing history. Frankly the current GUI is quite limited and sometimes it requires some "skills" and patience to get what you want. Please bear with it until I come up with some improvements. Any suggestion is more than welcome as always.

Thanks a lot for the compliments. The reason I try this idea out in Firefox in the first place is that it's just a great open and extensible platform with detailed document and strong support from the development community. The implementation of the idea is quite straightforward, so if another browser use similar way to keep browsing history it shouldn't be hard to add such feature.

That being said, one major shortcoming of this plugin is the performance. As a former review mentioned, it takes quite some time to build the tree history. I myself have experienced "unresponsive script" warning during the searching, even though my browsing history is no more than 2 years old. One possibility in the plan is incremental searching, get 10 top nodes at a time for example.

Now I'm trying hard to interpret your suggestion as I assume it's part of the reason you took one star off. So far I come up with following possible aspects. I'd really appreciate it if you could clarify it a little through "Feature Request" or "Bug tracker" on the project's sourceforge page.
1) if it's about the search results: a) customizable display, like reverse order by date; b) more convenient ways to store and share the tree history (online); c) changing or deleting the history from FF browsing history manually (I feel reluctant to directly write or modify the FF database from the start, and I'm not sure if it's possible/recommended to delete records from the database. Even if it can be done, I can't think of a good reason so far).
2) if it's about link suggestion: a) make recommendation customizable, for example, specify words that you want or don't want in the suggested link, or specify some link that you'd rather not suggest ever again, etc; b) more friendly ways to access the link.

Again thanks for your encouragement and support.

Thanks a lot for your experience sharing and great suggestion. I'll add some form of "temporal filter" first (likely in Jan 2011). To address the time-consuming searching issue (causing the warning) --- a problem from the start --- besides optimization I'm thinking of showing the searching results incrementally, and making the searching process manually interruptible. That's going to need more effort.
Thanks again for the detailed comment and encouragement. It's a nice new year gift for me.

Thanks for the great patience and adjusting the review. Sorry for the inconvenience while installing. I had the same frustrating experience myself before. It appeared to me that there was a period of time after the updating of a new version during which the error message "corrupt file" shows up while installing. My update from version 0.19.1 -> 0.19.3 was just got approved by Mozilla Add-ons reviewers at 12:27pm EDT, like an hour ago, and there must be some file replacement on the addon website. I was hoping that this wouldn't happen every time but it seems like a constant issue now. I'll try to report it to someone.

Thanks for the support and encouragement. You don't know what a pleasure it is for me to see --- instead of just hoping --- someone out there actually finds it useful.
I was thrilled to find that the information is recorded in Firefox history all along without making good use of, and I feel obliged to make it happen as the addons performing similar function that I know (like "Referrer History") are no longer available for current FF.
Though there are already some possible improvements in my mind, I would appreciate any suggestion from you, an actual user's perspective.
